The Trump Administration — A Reagan Revival

There have been two amazing political surprises since Tuesday, November 8th.

The first, of course, was that Donald Trump defeated Barack Obama’s error apparent, Hillary Clinton. Despite how the mainstream media frames that victory, it was not Trump who carried down-ballot candidates but grassroots Americans who handed an up-ballot victory to Trump. The MSM are still trying to figure out who those elusive “grassroots” voters are and from what planet they came.

Nobody was more surprised by the Trump victory than Donald Trump himself, except for Clinton and her legions of lamenting leftist lemmings, who went scurrying for their cupcake safe spaces. One only hopes that they all stay put with their Play-Doh, coloring books and hot cocoa for years to come!

When I endorsed Donald Trump for president, I wrote to my conservative colleagues, particularly Christians struggling with Trump’s considerable moral indiscretions, “Those who choose to sit this election out or ‘choose neither’ are making a choice — to undermine the best prospect to advance Liberty. … If you’re reluctant to vote for Trump, at least cast your vote for the Supreme Court.”

Fortunately, by a popular state-by-state margin sufficient to provide Trump a substantial Electoral College victory, our Constitution has been rescued from the incessant Obama assault of the last eight years — an assault that would most assuredly have continued for at least the next four years had Clinton been victorious.

However, given the popular vote totals, my more liberal (and therefore more “enlightened”) colleagues continually ask me, with predictably arrogant and disapproving airs, “Well, who won the popular vote?” My standard reply leaves them looking like a deer in the headlights: “The Supreme Court and our Rule of Law won!”

Indeed, this promises to be a new dawn for Liberty.

But the second post-election surprise has been almost as astounding as the first.
