Your hatred for Trump won't let u see the Bigger picture. Hillary lost for so many reasons. One she plan to continue the unpopular Obamacare which is even very expensive and out of the reach of average Americans. 2. She is an avowed abortionists and planned to increase federal funding of planned parent hood which incensed the Conservative Christians especially the catholics who re the largest denominations. About 5,000,000 babies are Aborted in America yearly and black women account for 31 percent of abortions. 3. She planned to continue with Obama's promotion of homosexuality, forcing if religious group to wed guys, lesbians, transgender, and many like reason 2 above were determined against her ascension to the White house. 4. Many Americans never forgave her for causing the death of four Americans including an ambassador in Benghazi,Libya and the email scandals despite FBI exonerating her. 5. The attempt where her campaign team attempted to stir a revolution with the Catholic Church was one of her greatest undoing. This greatly incensed catholics who love their church so much despite not really living up to its teachings.

On the other hand I hope he surprises us all to become the exact opposite of what people expect.

Until then he doesn't have my respect. He's never respected Obama so he should not expect others to hand it to him. He has to earn it.

He also said he would date his daughter if she wasn't his child and they still voted for the sexual predator, Americans amaze me

As for Hillary, the moment I watched her trying to appeal to women and canvassing for their votes, I feared for her chances.

I've always known this, if you want to win votes never appeal or canvas for women's votes because women hate women. Instead appeal and canvas for men's votes, surround yourself with men who don't have problems working with women, this is the secret to winning political offices in backward countries like Africa, Asia and the US. Europe is advanced so one can get away with canvassing votes from females but you cannot succeed with this strategy any where else. Hillary should have employed me as her political adviser, I guarantee she would have won Trump in a heart beat.

The world was shocked when Donald Trump 'hilariously trumped' Hillary Clinton and there was definitely several lessons to be learnt. Personally, I learnt:

1. Never Say Never: Donald graduated from a man with no political experience to become the POTUS....

2. The Social Media is powerful yet not as powerful as it seems: Going by the SM polls and atmosphere, one would have thought Hillary would win by a landslide however...

3. Discern the people that matter: Hillary was canvassing to the Blacks and Latinos (most of whom probably were not eligible to vote); Donald went to the core voters... The white men. Also, American's electoral voting system means some states are weightier than others. Imagine jacking all day for a 2units course and leaving your 6unit project to chance.

4. Strike the people that matter in the right place: Trump hit the white men/women where they wanted... Blacks are too much in their country and they wanted them out etc. His political incorrectness interestingly worked for him

5. You don't have to be good to be liked/wanted: Donald Trump / He did not have to be like 'Gentleman Obama' to get same results.

6. Turn your lemons to lemonade: With all the negative press, Donald's campaign team managed and rode on the negatives to success

7. People do not always mean what they say/ say what they mean: Who would have thought Trump would have any supporter/ vote with all the 'he is anti-woman/anti-gay/anti-black/anti-(fill in the gap)'? Who would have believed that the same women/Black/Latinos would vote for him more than Hillary? According to Huffington post, majority of the women, blacks & Latinos voted Trump.

8. No knowledge is 'lost': Donald did not have the experience/knowlegde of politricks however he is a successful business man and he brought his business sense to the campaign/ movement. He fitted his gift into the suitation and utilized it well.

This also confirmed that beneath the façade of liberalism and modern-feminism, Americans are a very conservative and traditional lot.

While our Nairaland sisters carry feminism for head like gala.

Chimamanda is a feminist in writing not in practice. That's why she's still married but our sisters will not see beyond the fantasies created through literary expression of illusion much to their detriment.

This means that women only show they love their fellow women outwardly but deep within them,they would never support a woman to become a leader.

Modern-feminism will have a hard time staying.

That people prefer to trust their feelings, their religion and their anger over any facts, knowledge, experience and preparedness. And it's okay to do whatever the hell you want to do, as long as you can tap into the popular feeling going around, you will win people over. And then screw them later. Very Nigerian behaviour. Which is what I have constantly said about Americans.

So most likely Ayo Fayose is our next President. You heard it here first!

Strangely, I keep seeing pictures and videos of white teens in schools chanting "go home niggurs", "cotton pickers", "white power", "build the wall" and a uni in San Diego has had an attack on a Muslim girl. Wonder what's causing all this? I mean, Trump is great for America, he's a Christian, we Nigerians (whom are Black) love himmm!!!

Not all the 'hard work pays' bro. Good morning

Olodo please explain yourself

Sheggy13:

This No 7 point by the OP which you quoted is a pure distortion of facts. Infact it's the other way round. Majority of women, blacks and Latinos voted for Hillary ahead of Trump, but not as overwhelmingly as they did for Obama in both 2008 and 2012, which is quite understandable as Obama belonged to one of these minority groups unlike Clinton who though was canvassing for their interest but can never seen as one of them.
Here is a link by Pew, a research agency that did the demographics of the voters in terms of age, race, gender and education.

So, you may call them whatever derogatory label your liberal mind can conjure, but this man gets close to explaining why Trump voters voted for him, but which the media would not tell you. Not that they knew or bothered to find out anyway.

Onopa:


Majority of white women voted for Trump

53 percent of white women voted for Trump while 43 percent voted for Hillary.

White women brought feminism and sold it to black women and other races whenever WOmen are voted as presidents in Africa they hail it as the victory for feminism

But the opportunity came for them to break the glass ceiling and empower a white woman for the first time in US history to the highest politcal office, majority of them went back to the comfort of a White man, A white man who is everything feminism is against

5 kids from 3 wives, WHo openly mocks women

WHen do we start to wonder why the seller of the idea doesnt even believe in it

The main lesson to learn is that most of them are still in their hearts racist, misogynist, homophobic and whatever else Trump represents.

It means never relax in the fight against segregation and discrimination because it's only the laws that keep people 'good'. When they have the chance to be themselves without repercussions, their anti-other-humans-who-are-not-like-us sides will come glaring.

Timbuktuo:


You might not like it, but I have spoken nothing but the truth.

All over the liberal media, there were innumerable headlines heralding the dawn f the first US woman president. Some journalists even called white men who wouldn't vote for Hillary sexist, because sexism is the only reason for not voting a woman. The infusion of feminism and gender politics was a card played by the left and it still didn't work out. You might hate my schadenfreude, but your people gave me something to work with. From CNN to the Guardian to HuffPo, the woman card was milked to the hilt, and you expect it to just fizzle away without a mocking mention? Get real. You cannot have your cake and eat it too.

By the way, you don't have to quote me while you're menstruating. Obviously, it's a challenge to keep your monthly ebb of life under control and be civil at the same time. If multitasking comes difficult to you, stick to survival basics. Go and bleed in the woods.
