Few can argue that the 2016 presidential race was one of the most mean-spirited campaigns in the history of the United States of America.
It was fueled by insults and innuendos, not by dignity and respect. Each day we woke up to another salvo of hurt and harm. I have been a registered voter now for many years, and I became embarrassed for America.
Quite honestly as the campaigns were coming to an end, whenever there was a political commercial coming on, I would simply turn it off or use the mute button. I became sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Well, the election is over, and Hillary Clinton did not win. The political pundits were wrong and the media was duped, maybe even hoodwinked. As the votes were coming in on Tuesday, November 8, I watched the major television anchors reporting and they acted as if they were watching a real-life horror movie unfolding in front of their very eyes.
The crowd gathered at the Clinton headquarters coming to celebrate and they left early, bewildered and disappointed. What they thought was a sure thing ended up being a bad thing.
Since Hillary Clinton lost the election for president, chances are that her political career is over. I doubt that she will try again. She may be a queen-maker in shaping the political fortunes of another woman to run for the presidency but she will never be queen.
Some of us are in protest mode because of the election results. College students are especially making their voices heard. Students at Rutgers University in New Jersey, Yale University in Connecticut and Middlebury College in Vermont have all protested the election results for president.
