Why Trump Won (and why He will win again)
While those on the left, both Democrats and media, fret endlessly and cluelessly about how and why Donald Trump was elected, the answer for the rest of us is demonstrated on a daily basis. The most recent example is the strike that killed the Iranian killer Soleimani. His record of death and violence is unquestioned; he was recognized as the leading terrorist in a country renowned as the world's leading sponsor of terrorism. He orchestrated the death and maiming of hundreds of Americans through the use of IED's in Iraq and presided over the recent attack on the American embassy in Iraq. Citizens in Iran were not spared from his violence and oppression. His CV really is too extensive to detail. When the opportunity to kill the killer presented itself, President Trump gave the order, and the those who suffered from this Iranian thug rejoiced. What this tells us about why Trump was elected is not the act of ordering the military to take out an enemy of humanity; in that regard, it was not unlike President Obama's order to take out Bin Laden. What is instructive has been the response. The usual Leftists wasted no time in demonizing the President as they eulogized the Iranian. Anti-Trump members of the US media and even some in Congress have literally taken their talking points from the Iranian government, and Hollywood leftists have tweeted their remorse and sympathy to the Mullahs in Iran, begging for forgiveness. After learning the Iranians shot down a commercial jetliner, it was literally minutes before the Trump-haters and blamed America first crowd began concocting reasons why this too was the fault of America and, in particular, President Trump. This episode in which the Left vilifies our country and our President, as they act as the apologist for our enemies, is only the latest example of how the Left views our country. Normal Americans have had enough. Despite the past 50 years of attempts by the Left to make us believe that bad is good and down is up, most of us, including many Democrats, are not falling for it. We do not have a hard time discerning the difference between America with its endless capacity for civil liberties and individual rights, from a nation where pre-school children are taught to chant "death to America," where protestors are murdered in the streets, the state controls the press and where gays are thrown from the rooftops of buildings or hung from cranes. Say whatever you want about President Trump, he is unabashedly pro-American and proud of our nation. His vision of America stands in stark contrast with the view of our nation held by the parade of malcontents running for the Democrat nomination. I would love to have seen the Democrat candidates asked a simple question at one of their many debates: "By a show of hands, which of you is proud of America and proud of Americans?". I wager not one hand would have been raised. Not one Democrat candidate-even the "moderate" Joe Biden- speaks with pride of America's virtues and its contributions to the world. Not one speaks of American ingenuity, selflessness, grit, and opportunity, or of the boundless generosity and compassion of the American citizen. Instead, it is the reflexive response of those on the Left and those they support politically to disparage our nation as they try to convince us that as a country America is to blame for the world's ills and that Americans (except those on the Left) are racist, sexist, homophobic deplorables. As voters, we are sick of being told the police are bad, that high school kids who come to DC on a class trip are bad, that companies that earn a profit by providing goods and services are bad, that being energy independent is bad and that protecting our boarders is bad. Every time Bernie or Elizabeth or Ocasio-Cortez open their mouths to tell us how dreadful America is and what reprobates were all are because we disagree with them, it is like a campaign ad for Trump, which not only explains why he won in 2016 but why he will win again in 2020.
