RIGGED OR HYPOCRISY .....


WELL !!! First of all , bravo Mr. Trump, well played, well done, it is show time big time, and the show must go on .

Now to look back at what took place on this election day, one cannot but wonder, if the whole upset was not really rigged, as Mr. Trump himself suggested numerous times, with different arguments and insinuations . Including that it could be rigged to his favor !!!  But, as we all admit that it wasn't rigged nor tampered with , then we fall into the second possibility, whereby many American voters proved themselves hypocrites .

Americans including  white educated middle and upper classes, liberals and cultured from all races and colours , college graduates , Blacks, Latinos, Musslems and Arabs, women, democrats leaning left or right, Asians, markets investors and Wall Str. managers, city people and their suburbs, and a good portion of our youths .

If we add all these , like the official pollsters and media polls with their analysts and projection people did, Secretary Clinton should have won with a landslide or at least very comfortable margins , as originally and till last minutes indicated and predicted. Where are the 41 points lead with women ?? the 67% of educated college grads ?? the 90% Latinos ??  the whatever numbers for Blacks, the almost totality of Asians and the Musslem million plus population , plus all regular democrats filling the ranks, not to mention the publicized republican refuseniks ??

It has to indicate hypocrisy and duplicity big time !! If all these groups behaved at the polls differently from what they claimed , and didn't vote their declared positions or didn't vote at all . While the other camp went ahead with its promised position all the way .

Unless , and otherwise it could have been a total show, created and staged by the media, the polling agencies, in good collaboration with either or both election machines, which gets us back to rigged . But the show goes on ....  with a different twist this time . Surprisingly America proved itself  Republican in its majority, as results managed to keep both the Senate and the House, plus the presidency , again contrary to all projections.

If the U.K. had and continues to suffer Brexit, we have created Amexit , and it's a bigger , wilder and more ferocious beast for sure . But the show must go on ....  So Ladies and Gentlemen of the elites, fasten your seat belts , hold your breaths and enjoy the show . While America realizes suddenly , that their forgotten men and women are enough in numbers to elect their leaders and both houses of Congress big time .

People all over , recognize themselves in their leaders, who espouses their dreams and struggles, I don't believe either candidates offered this choice for Americans , but hey, one side won big . As a good friend reminded me that when Athens democracy was created no one thought much of the issue that every voice counts equally, the educated and cultured and the peasant .

Although all the hows and whys of the election vote will be analyzed for months or even years, hypocrisy should always be considered in any analysis . Brexit should have been an example to emphasize and avoid, and Micheal Moore should have been listened to more attentively .

But cheer up America !!  our 45th president just promised us all , he will not let us down .  And the show must go on .....

My as always many thanks for listening.
