I'm still trying to make sense of this election. Being completely unsuccessful. How in the world can one party win the presidency by around 5 million votes, give or take. Then lose seats in the house, governorship and state legislatures? True the senate is up for grabs depending on what happens on 5 Jan. But it shouldn't be.

Is it possible that this election was a rejection of Trump, but not an acceptance of Democratic Party ideals, especially down at the local and state levels? How on earth could Trump receive more black votes, 12% than any Republican candidate going back to Gerald Ford who received 15% in 1976? Hispanics, 32% for Trump, that's more than any other Republican candidate since Ronald Reagan with the lone exception of G.W. Bush in 2004 who received 40%.

All I can say, this was one crazy election.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
