I hope and pray that Trump accomplishes all the things he says he will, which will be great for all Americans, who voted for him across all demographic lines despite the Democrats’ best efforts to divide and conquer us. As usual, Rush Limbaugh was right: The best thing for Republicans’ electoral fortunes is for Democrats to get into power for just a little while and remind people of how much damage they can do in a surprisingly short time.

I was disappointed that Kamala Harris remained on brand to the end, refusing to face the cameras or make a difficult speech. When it was obvious she had lost, a minion was sent out to tell her disappointed followers to go home and get some sleep. There was no unifying congratulatory call to Trump or gracious concession speech. Wags accused her of plagiarizing Hillary Clinton. There was some rumbling from the Dems’ lawfare brigade about the race not being over for days, but when you’re down by five million votes, that’s what meant by “beyond the margin of fraud.”

There were some suspicious incidents at polling places around the nation, but the RNC’s lawyers responded fast, and shut them down PDQ. Kudos to Lara Trump and Michael Whatley at the RNC for fighting back on that front.

I also hope that the Democrats will learn from this that Americans reject the savage and divisive politics of racial grievance and slandering opponents as Nazis and garbage, and will work with Trump to make things better for all Americans. Sadly, their initial reactions to losing don’t fill me with optimism.

Some “progressives” blasted the Dems for not running far enough to the left. Yep, that would’ve done it. One arrogant liberal who flaunts her Ph.D. on Twitter/X decreed that this election shows we’re ruled by stupid, uneducated people. She reminds me of the great comedian Brother Dave Gardner’s observation that “some people are ‘educated’ beyond their intelligence.” I suspect she’s confused “educated” with “indoctrinated.” She may think she’s sipping Chardonnay, but she’s really drinking the Kool-Aid.

CNN seemed to sniff disaster early on, so they refrained from too much gnashing of teeth and rending of garments, knowing that conservatives would post it on YouTube and laugh at them for years to come. But there was no such restraint among the lefty loons at MSNBC, where Joy Reid had the predictable meltdown, ranting that Florida is an extreme, right-wing fascist state, apparently because it’s capable of counting votes quickly and efficiently.

Reid and her ilk also claimed that there was voter suppression, despite the heavy turnout. One state they cited was Texas, so I’ll let my writer Pat Reeder, who lives in suburban Dallas, respond to that:

“Laura and I voted early, and we live in a racially-diverse, lower middle-class neighborhood (Note to the Gov: We need a raise.) Not a Kamala Harris ‘middle-class neighborhood,’ but a real one. The line stretched out the door but moved quickly, and it only took about 20 minutes. Both voters and poll workers were of various races. We all smiled at each other, talked politely, voted and left. I didn’t notice me or anyone else being suppressed, except we did all have to show our IDs. Everybody had one, though. Shocking.”  

Leaders around the world sent congratulations to Trump, saying they were looking forward to a close and friendly working relationship. I imagine Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is especially relieved to know that Israel will once again have a firm ally in the White House.

That’s odd: I’d been assured by all the smartest people that other world leaders mocked and disrespected Trump.
