Along about last May I had begun to wish the year was already over. This was around the time when most of the media had given Hillary the keys to the kingdom, calling her a sure thing for the White House. Meanwhile, the entrenched Republican elites were making fun of the newcomer, Donald Trump, who was anything but a politician. The professional politicians of the GOP said Trump didn’t “have a snowballs chance in a prairie fire of becoming the nominee of ‘our party’.” So much for their thinking.
Greatest Show on Earth
Throughout the rest of the year up until the night of the election I consumed at least 3 gallons of M&M’s (Maalox and medicinal spirits) to help my nerves. I mean what with the media still saying Hillary was a shoo in (which I considered the end of America) and Trump sticking his foot in his mouth every 15 minutes in what seemed like an apparent attempt to hand Hillary the White House, I was a nervous wreck. I thought I was going to have to call on Uncle Three Sheets for a new batch of M&M’s, but I had just enough to see me through to the end of what has been the greatest show I have ever seen, the 2016 Presidential election.
I freely admit if it had been any other candidate besides Trump, Hillary would now be President elect. It also goes to show what a bunch of ticked off deplorable Neanderthals are capable of. Right, Hillary?
