...how can one claim that the assertions of "Believe me", "Things are gonna be great", etc. are qualifications to be president. There were many many polls where by 60% + the electorate thought Hillary to be the most qualified. But yet and still the electorate voted in the unqualified/unfit one. It really boggles my mind how they could logically vote that way. But then I step outside of logic and look at it and just have to conclude that they voted against a woman and they also voted to say black/brown people...you may be the growing majority in this country, BUT you ain't there yet and we are gonna show you who is in control by voting for Trump even though we know he is unfit to be POTUS. My heart is still aching that my American people voted this way.
