Personally, I'd rather lose then win like this because this is what the people want. It's the American voter that has failed this nation. This is what they want and there is no reason to lower your morals or patriotism to give it to them.

Part of me blames the voters and takes the "we got exactly what we wanted" mentality, but I have to admit the fact that Trump (whether anyone wants to admit it or not) won the presidency despite getting less votes takes some onus off the voting public.  America seems to be going through a phase where we know it's not wise to hop on the back of that motorcycle with that sexy bad boy, but we are sick of being good and doing our homework and we kinda want to stick it to our parents for trying to threaten us and control our lives.

You can compare it to many things, but I see the Trump presidency as that lamentable "emotional/goth/rebel" phase we all went through in high school.  We have a crisis of conscience and a lack of self, so we fell in with an easily accessed group in order to rebel against those who dare to tell us we are being short-sighted and egotistical.

Then again, maybe it isn't a phase and the USA elects one crazy celebrity after another until we start burning our money to keep warm ala Germany after the wars they just had to start.

That's another thing that is intriguing about this.  I can find the nearest auto body garage and I'd bet my left nut the guy running it is a fan of Trump.  I can walk in there and say I want a job here, I never worked on a car, I know nothing about cars, and I think it's awesome that I don't care to learn about cars.  Will he find that refreshing and honest?  A welcome change from all the mechanics who try to get jobs there?

Ah, but these are 2003 Dodge Neons we are talking about here...gotta play it safe with those. Can't just act all willy-nilly like we can with the "greatest" country in the world, eh?
