And the Earth Stood Still

So the morning of the 9th of November 2016, and when the dust settled, and all the votes were tallied, we, as a Nation, elected a person who, for the most part, is not an actor, or a Polititian. He is famous for being famous.
We woke up in a land that must, somehow, come together and work together, because the leader of this “free world” has used the phrase, over and over again throughout his life, “YOU’RE FIRED!”
Well now we will see how this will work out. He has no political agenda that fits into the norm of the rest of the world.
Our Nation, will now have a target on its back!
Our Nation, will no longer be able to looked upon as the Nation to protect others, when we, ourselves will be under fire at every turn.
Security will be hightened, when you go out to do simple things, be it for entertainment reasons or to go travel, or just going to certain events!
We will be a changed country.
Will This President be a ONE and DONE term?
I have with held my opinion throughout this election process, mainly because no one would listen to my views.
So now that it is over, I will repeat what I said in 2008 when Barach Obama ran for office then!
It didn’t matter who the Democrats through out there for their choice for President, the country was ready for a change. After 8 years of Republican rule in the White House, there was going to be a change. The Democrats could have nominated “GOOFY” for we cared, and he would have won!
So fast forward 8 years, and the Republicans did the exact same thing, only this time they nominated a person who is known for his TV Reality shows, of putting business people into the spot light.
The Country was into another swing, they had 8 years of Democratic rule in the White House and it was time for a change!
All the pundits, and all the experts should have seen this coming, but they concentrated on the fact that the two running for office were sniping at each other in their Political Ads, and that they didn’t like each other.
The Debates were a joke, the entire process was a debacle, with back stabbing and accusations, and slurs and such.
There are those who have stated that they are embarrassed to be an American after the election was done, and that they are considering moving to another country. These are the same people that said the same thing 8 years ago when Obama was elected into office.
When Bill Clinton won the election in 1992 over George H.W. Bush, the same sentiment was being spouted by people, that thought that the end of the world was coming. I was working at a radio station in DFW when we worked election coverage, and the next morning the telephone lines were opened up for callers to call in and vent. They were foul, they were digusted, and they had hatred in their hearts for Bill Clinton.
Funny thing is, I would bet that no one packed up their households and moved to another country. They just dealt with it.
I am not saying the right person has won the office of President, and I am not even saying that Mrs. Clinton was the better of the two choices. I AM saying, that American spoke, they were ready for a change from what was already in the White House, and it was time for another shake up!
I am wondering, IS THERE really a candiate that can sit in the highest office in this country, and make this country GREAT again.
Say what you will about President Kennedy, or even President Truman. Johnson, Carter, Clinton and Obama, all have one thing in common. They are Democrats that went into office after two terms of Republicans, well all except Clinton. He went into office after 3 terms of Republicans, just like Eisenhower did after both Roosevelt and Truman spent 20 years in the White House.
Change is not always good, and its not always bad, but the fact is this election taught us that, even what we think is a bad choice, millions of Americans felt like it was the ONLY choice!
We can only ask for prayer and for this won’t lead us into the possiblity of distruction among ourselves or by our enemies.
Make America Great Again... that was his slogan, and his mantre, losing is not an option! We must maintain our checks and balance.
Just a thought
