Donald Trump had help in the election....the FBI fault saying they were to investigate H Clinton emails and the Americans voted for Trump. The FBI made a mess up!!!!!

@veganbliss Counties aren't people. Each person's vote should count but under our outdated system it doesn't. Trump LOST the popular vote by nearly 3 MILLION votes. The "red everywhere" on the map is misleading since many of those red areas are very low population regions.

@anniepa Trump still won when the votes were counted county by county, even in all the states Clinton won... check the map.... red everywhere!

He always wins. Whenever he wants to do something, he makes sure he wins. He beat the system! What's wrong with that? Such a victory should be celebrated by the common people & feared by those who make a livelihood out of rigging the system.

@veganbliss I'm not sure where you got your information but those 1% are the ones who AS USUAL under the Republicans will gain the most. Nothing will be given back to the "common people", actually much will be taken away if they get their agenda through. PLEASE don't compare that creature to JFK and FDR, he shouldn't be allowed to shine their shoes.

@anniepa Same can be said about so many in a similar position. The funny thing is, those who stand to lose the most are the wealthiest top 1% of the world's wealthiest... for once! When you can turn it all around & give back to the common people for their common good ’en-mass', then you know he's on the right path. Interesting parallels to JFK & FDR...

@anniepa There was incident when one of the electoral college members is cousin of a presidential candidate. It is a close fight and the cousin voted for his cousin.

Although Trump has traced the promiscuous scandals, but many voters in the private life of this part of some tolerance, many Americans of his private life to get political life to discredit competitors, deliberately discredit for some things but not even in a little sick."

There's no one answer, no single factor that resulted in this sickening turn of events, it was more or less a "perfect storm" as in perfectly horrible. There were the Comey letters which according to pollsters made a major difference, the leaks of the emails hacked by the Russians, the tons of fake news stories all over social media that millions of people apparently believed and the mainstream media which gave Trump a free ride and billions of dollars in free airtime for a year and a half. Now here we are with a President-Elect who is already trying to govern via Twitter, who never heard of "One President at a time", who will likely get us all killed once he has his finger on the nuclear button.
Happy New Year???

The main reason: people want change (the main reason Obama got elected 8-or-9 years ago). Even with Obama, we had still elected "legislators" into the Oval Office---and politics continued to get more-&-more corrupt. Maybe 'enough people' felt it was time to put "a real American citizen" into the office.
(And I know that "Every American President has been a real American citizen," but ... you ever notice how no one ever became CEO of an old company 'right out of college'?
What I'm sayin`: "Being in the Senate or the House" (like 'being in college') sort of removes you from the consequences of your actions; whether you do a good job or a bad job, your income is going to be exactly the same!
