Well, Mrs. Clinton, you
and your DMC cohorts can thank the media for the recent election results. Include
in that number the parade of talking heads who took every opportunity to degrade
and dismiss even the idea of a Trump presidency.
Yet, here we
are.
We should
not forget the surrogates, specifically those who were on the prowl for their next
white house jobs. They too played a part in defaming President-Elect Trump by
calling him racist, misogynistic, dangerous, unfit. All while ignoring the
mounting evidence against Mrs. Clinton in her corruption case.
Black elites
assumed the name Clinton would carry with it some weight and favor in the black
community. But Hillary and Bill are not one in the same. No one was game to
allow her to leverage her husband’s likability and popularity this time, just
like they didn’t allow it the last time she ran for president.
And with
good reason.
The Clintons v. Black America
Many black
voters struggled with the idea of a Clinton White House not just for the
corruption investigation, but also because of her track record.
She is
widely credited with first popularizing the term “super-predator” to reference
young black criminals. In February of this year, The Young Turks brought
nationwide attention to a speech Mrs. Clinton gave back in 1994 (which you can
watch here) defending her husband’s Three Strikes bill.
President Bill
Clinton put the infamous Three Strikes bill in place during his presidency and
Mrs. Clinton was both passionately adamant and very vocal in her efforts to
pass this bill. The problem is it disproportionately targeted African American
and Hispanic men and gave legal justification for courts – which have
historically been much harder on defendants of color than white defendants
- to pass down life sentences to
thousands of black men and women who committed non-violent offenses. I talked
extensively about that issue in this
post.
So, how is
it that we can fast forward twenty years and have a presumptuous Hillary
Clinton thinking she can win the top post in the country – yea, one of the top
posts in the world – on the backs of the black voters.
She can’t.
She didn’t.
And the
black leaders who blindly defended her in the interest of supporting the
Democratic Party could only use rampant crime as her defense. Bigotry and
racism don’t cure rampant crime.
Meanwhile, no
stats have ever supported this idea that a Democrat in the White House ever
significantly improved the quality of life for African Americans, at least not
in the last 50 years.
But the
media put forth a good effort, trying to obfuscate the severe faults of the Democratic
nominee by getting Americans to focus on Donald Trump’s bad behavior.
A rich guy
ogling beauty queens or patting a bottom or two is not a matter of national security.
At most, it’s bad behavior, poor home training, and in many cases typical
behavior exhibited by old billionaires. But the media worked so hard to parlay
that into porn that I was forced to turn my TV off toward the end of the
election to protect my 11 year-old daughter.
The real
issues pressing the minds of most Americans had nothing to do with Donald Trump
being a jerk to pageant girls. Americans care about jobs and security. They
care about safer streets and being able to afford the rising cost of living.
They care about access to healthy food and good doctors.
But the Dems
failed to address any of these issues. In fact, the Dems tried to minimize the
need for Mrs. Clinton to even have a strategy that will boost the economy. That
was never her focus. Yes, the stock market achieved great highs since the last
recession. But all the wealth created went to the same Wall Street elites that
were funding the DNC, while leaving Main Street folks in abject poverty.
What about
unfair trade and the systematic dismantling of America's industrial rust belt?
What about the factories, jobs, livelihoods, and trades that have disappeared
from America into the abyss of Chines trade?
China has
been eating out lunch for the last twenty-five years while elites and greedy
business people cheered them on in the name of free trade.
Meanwhile,
Americans are saying, "Free trade my ass!”
Job, jobs,
jobs.
Winning for
America.
No more free rides.
Make America great again.
My best
guess is that Donald Trump gave a public voice to the quiet revolution that was
already churning in the minds and hearts of many Americans. He was elected
because he had the guts to say what we were all thinking. That’s why he stayed
in the media. That’s why his rallies brought thousands of people. 706 202 0615
The media
tried to minimize it. The Dems seem to have missed it.
The Democrats
are now trying to persuade the electoral college to watch a security briefing
before casting their final votes. This Johnny-come-lately strategy completely
undermines the American voting process and the idea of Democracy!
Here’s a
piece of advice, Democrats: Accept your defeat, learn from your massive list of
mistakes, and come back to the next presidential election smarter, stronger,
and with a real candidate.
