The Election Autopsy

[nitro]

37% of millennials voted for Trump. The MSM doesn't know what to make of that, but I know. They were taught well when the Bern told them, "don't vote for what other people tell you or want you to vote for". He also told them, "this is not about a person, but a movement." So even when the Bern told them not to vote for Trump, they didn't listen to Bernie Won Kenobi!

If you ask me, that is really promising because they cannot be brainwashed. Baby Boomers are dying off at a rate of like 30,000 a day. Young people with every election are gaining political power at an unprecedented rate. And, here is the kicker, they believe, unlike their parents, that everyone deserves a piece of the pie: economic, social, racial and environmental justice.

I leave it as an exercise what that means

The Election Autopsy?

Democrats nominated a five-time FBI investigation winner and serial criminal (obvious to any sane person....see SWING VOTERS IN KEY STATES for relevance...) as their Presidential candidate.

The media invented false polls which the moronic Liberals believed. Gullible bunch. The methodology showed Liberals were routinely lied to. Thankfully, the majority of American voters recognize common sense when they see it.

The gov't should be spending no more than it absolutely needs to spend to fulfill it's constitutional duties.
Then they should tax no more than is necessary to cover that spending.

The notion that the gov't should keep taxing as much as it can until it finally makes the economy tank is absolute bunk. Why should it? What gives gov't the right to control all the money it can possibly get its hands on? This is not a philosophical question. It is somebody's property that is being stolen by the gov't. And them is shootin words.

The optimal thing to do is to keep cutting taxes and letting the economy grow and more people keep their own money until you cease having increased revenue. Then stop.

Bing, Bong BOINGggggg!

We know that the powers that be (the corporations) don't want a Socialist because that is obviously worse than a misogynist, racist, pathological liar, so they would have interviewed Bloomberg ten times for every once they mentioned Bernie at all, and that was the 3% of the time they didn't talk about Trump's new inane crap no one cared about of the day.

So yeah, if the Bern had magically gone head to head against Trump (forget Stein and Johnson), he probably would have won, except in that scenario the disbelief by the pundits and MSM would have been that Trump lost!!!

Wrong. The "powers that be" would love a socialist. The more power centralized with the federal government the better for them since they own almost all the politicians. They didn't like Bernie because he was far less interested in playing there game of money in politics then most. Don't think for a second they wouldn't love a larger, more centralized socialist government which is exactly the path Obama has and Clinton would have taken.

Given the outcome of the election and state by state voting breakdowns, this map statistics is confusing:

For one it does not address the distribution of those gains (or losses). And it reminds me of the polling that found `75% of Americans think the economy is doing badly, but `75% of Americans think they, personally, are thriving.

It's also only one quarter. The anger has been building for close to 10 years, and in some cases all the way back to Reagan.
