Yep…and being from Ohio, that really pisses me off.

But really, overall too many Americans voted for Trump. And the reasons they did are troubling.

The one that I think is the most troubling and it is showing big time is everyone looking for a non-politician. What really is the thinking behind that? Ignorance about civics and how politics works seems to be the biggest reason. Until reality hits and people can figure out politicians are politicians for a reason then we are going to be suffering this mess for a long time.

Trump was a collective middle finger raised by alienated, disgruntled voters at Washington and its political elites.

DT sold himself as the anti-politician, which made him immune to gaffes that would have wrecked the campaigns or even the career of any other professional politician.
