What a beautiful couple...Thank you for your service
I am not much of a diarist but felt compelled to say a few things. I have been licking my wounds all day long today. The people that work with/for me actually noticed that I was not myself today. They all gave me room and I greatly appreciate that. Thank you.
Like many of us I have been trying to figure out just what happened. This was to be a continuation of the Democratic process that has a robust stock market, wages on the uptick and unemployment at 4.9%. So what happened???
A little research and I offer you this…
In 2008 McCain garnered about 56 or 58 million votes. Obama garnered near 70 million as the change candidate. A landslide.
In 2012 Romney did a little better than McCain and garnered around 60 million. Obama countered with around 65 million. Another landslide.
In 2016 Trump garnered around 56 million votes. You can see that is lower than even McCains effort as well as Romney’s. HRC is going to get probably 57 million and will win the popular vote.
This tells me the GOP is stuck at around 60 million even with a change candidate. Where are the other 10 million Obama democratic voters???? As long as the GOP can suppress the vote they will continue to win. They haven’t expanded their base in three decades.
They stayed at home because they weren’t motivated to vote for HRC. That’s a ton of voters that felt disenfranchised.
We all worked our asses off to win this thing. We were let down by the party for not recognizing what Donald trump did.
I have picked my ass off the floor took care of the cuts and bruises and I am ready to go again and try to regain a few Senate seats in 2018.
As Teacherken says Peace. We all need it right now.
