Majority, plurality, enough with the semantics. The bottom line is Clinton got almost three million more votes than Trump. She didn’t win the presidency because of our electoral college system, but if it had gone strictly by national numbers she would have been in.
Trump is turning out to be a disaster because he doesn’t understand that he’s in a whole different environment, which has no relationship to either television or urban real estate. If he had surrounded himself with experienced advisors, he might have done a decent job, but that’s not what he’s doing – most of his picks are fellow rookies. Ben Carson is a wonderful, gifted neurosurgeon, but what does he know about housing? Tillerson was a competent, successful business executive, but what did he know about diplomacy? It’s not true that if you can run a business you can apply the same principles to running a government department. It’s two very different skill sets.
I feel sorry for Trump. He doesn’t seem to enjoy being president very much. But the real danger is for Israel. Who is going to defend us against the BDSers if not the US? If the US loses international credibility, we’ve lost our greatest supporter.
