Establishment shocked,

     The headlines read "Establishment shocked as Trump wins.  I understand there are protest against Trump in parts of the country.  Apparently some people just don't understand how a democracy with free and fair elections work.  Majority wins and the minority goes along.  The Democrats had the Presidency the last eight years and the country is the worse for it.  I'm not saying I liked George Bush but in reality his biggest problem was he was to loyal to Donald Rumsfeld. 
  I did not vote for Senator McCain for President so don't think I am a died in the wool, die hard Republican.  I am a free thinking American that votes what I believe to be right.  I wanted neither Clinton or Trump to win as neither is the type of leader this country needs.  Hillary is constantly making bad choices and Donald is a bad choice.  But Donald Trump was elected and he will serve his four years and then we get to vote again.  Until then don't tear the country apart because you don't agree with the majority. 
  In a way it's funny because the Democrats view themselves as open minded yet time  and time again they prove themselves to be open minded about ideas that go against the norm but extremely closed minded about the ideas of people who disagree with their ideas.  Some are now acting like spoiled little brats who are having a fit because they didn't get what they wanted.  No one did you wrong, protesters.  It is just most people did not see things your way this go around.  Many people had to suck it up under Obama for the last eight years. 
  I am not saying that Trump is going to be a good President. Probably not.  I don't think Hillary would have been a good President either.  Presidents don't make policy.  Congress does.  Don't like Trump then defeat him at the voters box by voting overwhelmingly Democratic in two years.  Very few Republicans are scumbags and very few Democrats are either.  Name calling never solved any of our problems.  It is time to work together to find solutions to the real problems of this country.  The fact that our President is a Republican is not a crisis any more that our President being a Democrat has been the last eight years. 
   If Democrats want to prove they deserve having their candidates in office now is the time to provide that leadership rather than complain like spoiled children that didn't get that object of their desire.
