Looking ...Yes, people voted against the status quo.<br />Looking at only our recent history, the economy crash, 911 and two wars people have had enough of politics as usual and are saying it is time for real change so no one should be surprised a NON life-long-politician won. Despite some of the really controversial things Trump would say we have all grown tired of the same political rhetoric we hear from the 'establishment'.<br /><br />Similar but on a smaller scale was a few years ago when Ross Perot ran and the debates featured 3 candidates instead the the usual 2. People were surprised. I remember thinking Perot won't win but I hope this shakes things up enough for change.<br />It didn't but time will tell on this election.<br /><br />Katherine, I had the same thought. I don't think Trump actually thought he'd win either. Whether he makes it to the end of his term or not I do hope this will have a lasting affect on politics. I would like to have more choices than 2 candidates right up until the end of the election.David Teterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747334525619423349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-83308635078208262572016-11-11T10:53:25.139+00:002016-11-11T10:53:25.139+00:00I'm coming round to the same view Joey.
If yo...I'm coming round to the same view Joey.<br /><br />If you don't listen to lots of people most of the time we should not be surprised if people conceal how they intend to vote until they get to the ballot box.<br /><br />It's now my belief that Politics does indeed need to change and that carrying on as before is no longer an option.<br /><br />Whether Donald Trump is the man to deliver this remains to be seen. Personally I don't think he thought he'd ever be elected and he's probably just as much in shock as a lot of other people.<br /><br />Whether he makes it to the end of the term of office also remains to be seen<br /><br />What is clear is that politics will never be the same again - until they forget and repeat the same mistakes.Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-34278525476151659992016-11-10T14:47:17.768+00:002016-11-10T14:47:17.768+00:00The “shock” is from is from people not really list...The “shock” is from is from people not really listening to each other, the “dismay” is from believing the mainstream media.
