Okay, it was originally the witch is dead, as Dorothy and her 3 pals gleefully sang in Wizard of Oz, but no need to pile on. What we saw last night was no less than the biggest political upset and rejection of govt. arrogance and tyranny in our recent history. A nation of angry voters, fed up with having no voice, being fiscally abused and sending a so called opposition party to DC that did little or nothing, took its revenge last night and it was bloody! There were many more losers than just HRC, I'll list them in descending rank.
1) Obama, every time this despot's policies are on the ballot and he's not, he & they lose big. Obamacare now completed the hat trick I'd predicted it would since 2010. It cost Barry the House (2010), Senate (2014) and now the White House, woo hoo!! But it's also Obama's executive orders that will be burned like kindling in Pres. Trump's first 100 days. Ditto the pipe dream Obama had of open borders and swelling the voter rolls with millions of low skilled, uneducated, lifelong dependents who'd have no other party to vote for than the Dems. This egomaniac's legacy he's so obsessed with, will be torn to shreds.
2) Activist SCOTUS. The dear departed Scalia must be replaced by a true Constitutional conservative who respects the founders' purpose and that the role of the SC is NOT to legislate from the bench. Had HRC won, it would have been another uber lib like the 2 disgraces Obama put in there. The damage done by a bad justice is much longer than any Pres. and impossible to remove by vote.
3) PC & race industry extortion- Unlike past GOP presidents, Trump will confront and refute the grievance mongers and not allow them to dominate the dialogue, especially their Alinsky tactic of calling anyone who disagrees a racist, bigot, homophobe, etc.
4) The Billary Machine. Finally getting the Clintons out of our lives forever is indescribably delicious! This corrupt, dysfunctional duo has been getting away with theft, extortion, rape & murder for decades and never been taken to task for it. The media loves to talk about Bush fatigue, which did exist. But we dealt with that once and for all when low energy Jeb was dispatched this spring, while Bill & Hil' were the perpetual blockage that wouldn't flush. Well, last night angry voters took out their giant plunger and they pushed hard!
5) Media hubris. For too long the so called "mainstream" media enjoyed an info monopoly. Even though talk radio, the internet and FNC took a huge bite out of that, they still controlled the low info audience who only has "free" TV. Their ability to pick the GOP candidate, always sure losers like Dole, McCain and Romney, came to a crashing halt this election. They had no control over Trump and he trashed them with total impunity.Voters no longer trust or believe these frauds who parade as objective journalists but are really the propaganda arm of the DNC.
6) Militant immigration zealots. La Raza, Tacovision (what I call Univision) and the Latino pop culture elites have morphed into activists that use their ignorant, often anti assimilation audiences as a pressure group to intimidate Americans to embrace their open borders and amnesty agenda, or face retaliation. They march in our cities, often with their foreign flags and chant "si se puede" (yes we can) as if to tell us they will outbreed and outvote us, which they've already done in the doomed state of CA (aka Mexifornia). This has led not only the left, but also the spineless RINOs to lecture the GOP candidates to bend over on this issue or else. Well, Trump just demonstrated that the GOP does not have to succumb and can still win in spite of these invaders. Trump got more of the Latino vote than Spanish speaker Mitt did, BTW. This Cuban born American will tell you, we are NOT a bunch of dumb Julios who all think and vote in a block, no offense to anyone named Julio.
7) Perpetual handouts. Forget wars, entitlement spending is the biggest single drag on our economy. We cannot continue to have 95 million jobless Americans, 50 million on food stamps and 99-week unemployment , none of which have any work requirement tied in, thanks to King Barry's "generosity".
8) The New Normal. This piece of Orwellian new speak is the catch all used by Obama and the Dems to excuse the abject failure of their policies and mold the mindset of Americans that this is as good as it gets and don't you dare try to improve it. Voters told the Dems where they could stick the new normal last night!
9) Pollsters and media talking heads. Whether it was FNC, CNN or PMSNBC they were all proven wrong and will be eating crow for a long time. Anyone who heard them go on and on during election night had to LOL at their degree of denial, which was really deception up to the last second. The same goes for all these annoying polling outfits, most of whom got it totally wrong. News and polls are no longer meant to report news, they are designed to make news and control the behavior of the public. This applies to libs like Frank Luntz (who told us in the 2012 WLC that Hillary would win) or Red State's Eric Erickson. They've taken a big hit and need to zip it. We also need to ignore them in future elections, that's what voters did this election.
No matter what, Trump will have plenty of detractors and those who will work ceaselessly to stop him. I like how Obama, Hillary and Ryan have responded today, let's hope the honeymoon lasts. We already see organized, privately funded rioting in 4 major cities. The GOP is delusional if they believe the left will accept this ass whooping and go away quietly, they won't!They also need to realize that the only reason they still control the Senate is the Trump coat tails. It's no accident that the 3 GOP Sen. candidates who snubbed Trump lost. Any in the GOP who play political games with Trump's agenda may well find themselves in the same boat, come 2018. the same goes for Dems who do the same.
Marco Rubio solidly trounced challenger, Patrick Murphy. I'm glad he didn't quit after this past March, when he suffered a crushing defeat in the FL primaries.
As for FDA backed candidates, we did quite well. All our Miami guys & gals won, both in House & Senate. Check out this link for all the races:

I will only mention 2 that are of particular interest to me, both are Dems. Newcomer Daisy Baez has extensive military and healthcare experience and impressed our GAO staff when interviewed. She won and should be quite an asset to FDA issues. I look forward to working with Daisy. The other legislator is Jose Javier Rodriguez, who won a Senate seat, defeating our arch enemy, Miguel Diaz de la Portilla. Sweet! As long as Miguelito chaired Sen. committees, he could block any of our bills, like he did the open carry & campus carry bills that he refused to allow to even be heard or voted on. JJR will be a welcome change. The DLP trio were a career politician family that hung around far too long, good riddance to them!
For Dade county mayor, Carlos Gimenez defeated the obnoxious, unqualified Raquel Regalado, who's sense of entitlement led her to believe she should be county mayor because of her daddy's last name. Hasta la vista, Raquelita! All that said, we have much to be thankful for in 2 weeks but must never get complacent or give back the win.
