I place a lot of blame on the media for having screwed up the election and how people in this country feel about things. They need to opine less, report more, and pay attention to the people who make up the nation.<br /><br />Lee<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-67691481337470694172016-11-14T07:11:24.104-08:002016-11-14T07:11:24.104-08:00This battle has been one of my favs, actually.

Mr trump was not doing at all badly. The votes were still being counted all over the American country but there was a really good chance he was going to take this election. Well later he did. Well done Mr trump. <br />This shows what persistence and perseverance can do no matter what other people say, a good lesson for the rest of us. Mrs Clinton offended a lot of people all over the United States with her stupid classification of Mr Trump's supporters, She did not deserve to win this election and I'm sure that by now she is nervous about what is to come.<br />Glad to hear Green Day won the BOTB, even though I know neither group nor song, this one was far more honest by my reckoning.<br />May my God bless the people of America in this time of turmoil and may they have the wisdom to use that blessing to restore their country to greatness again, Geoff.Geoff Maritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15182608110318394094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-59510533026813100022016-11-08T10:45:29.998-08:002016-11-08T10:45:29.998-08:00Jeffrey, there is so much rejection and ridicule o...Jeffrey, there is so much rejection and ridicule of God in our society that I wouldn't be surprised for a judgement to come our way. Hopefully things will get better for many years to come. We'll have to wait and see.<br /><br />I think a lot of times people are impatient trying to take in something new to them and opt for that which with they are most familiar. I'll probably do it again though since I like to introduce "new" music to my readers.<br /><br />Lee<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-85890198687806664922016-11-08T09:32:49.521-08:002016-11-08T09:32:49.521-08:00It was an interesting battle, perhaps one day I wi...It was an interesting battle, perhaps one day I will do the same, pitting a well known song against a lesser know song, or by a lesser known artists. I guess in a way, we all kind of do that. How often have we shared an artist we assume is well-known, only to have someone say it was new to them?<br />I appreciated your scripture.

She's pretty stoked about this election--a Latina for Trump! It's rarely crowded at our precinct and I'd say we'll be among a very few Trump voters since our community is about 90% Mexican heritage. Hope you had a lot of Trump support at your crowded polling place. <br /><br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-56038321068105030612016-11-08T07:31:38.020-08:002016-11-08T07:31:38.020-08:00I like those results!
