The 2016 election is over, the votes counted, and the matter decided. Donald J. Trump is the next President of the United States, but the rants on the Left still continue.

The Left up until the last minute said it “was over” and Hillary Clinton would be our next President – wrong! Now, according to many on the Left, the election was illegal, there was voter fraud, all votes weren’t counted, there was intimidation at the polls, it is really the popular vote that counts and the Electoral College should be abolished. Is it possible that the Left can actually admit to losing the election? Do they really think they own the White House and our government?

Then lighting strikes and then the barrage that follows the election — protests by many (some violent) including students, many and most of whom didn’t and couldn’t even vote, obviously reacting to the mainstream media’s message. And even “cry-ins” for the youngsters along with “pet sit-ins” as well for some. The Left is now complaining about Trump’s Cabinet picks, even though he is ahead of many if not most previous presidents’ timeline on picking Cabinet members.

Do they really understand this is a two-party system and that we have winners and losers at the end point – and that the Left is not always the winner? What did happen anyway … the “Silent Majority” heard Trump’s message, liked it and voted for him.
