I don't really follow American politics too closely, but in this case it seems clear that Clinton was quite qualified for the job whereas Trump was not. She was stellar in the debates, ran an organized campaign, laid out solid policy (even cooperating with Sanders, whom she defeated for the leadership, in drawing it up), and gave reasonably good speeches and interviews. I believe she also had past political experience as both Senator of New York and as Secretary of State under Obama. Trump, on the other hand, has no prior political experience and cares for no one but himself. He has no redeeming characteristics whatsoever. The fact that he won is bewildering. It is simply a sign that people have become really stupid.
Mark,
Clinton did really well in the debates because on at least one occasion she was given the debate questions by a CNN host. It's easy to ace a test when you have the answers, yes?
Clinton is in bed with all kinds of shitty people. The Clinton foundation recieved some 25 MILLION dollars as a gift from Saudi Arabia. That 25 million dollars is a bribe. Clinton knows her way around the political dance floor but shes corrupt. It will probably be years before the full extent becomes known.
Trump won because people are tired of the corrupt government and not being listened to. The same reason thry overthrew the British. People are so fed up they're willing to take a chance on the unknown.
