First of all, I sympathize with you. You did not have a good candidate to vote for. Your choice came down to a hard-core socialist and someone under investigation for fraud, collusion, and possible treason. Not to mention numerous other suspicious "activities" . But of course some gave their blind support anyway. Your former candidate continues to be (in my opinion) a train wreck looking for a place to park. It is at least good to know that your side is not yet ready for socialism.

You tried a vote re-count. That had negative results for you. You tried to accuse the Russians of hacking the election. That turned out to be a  false statement. (Hopefully the Russians will keep peace in their minds as we deal with that issue). Some even threatened members of the electorate to not vote as they were obligated to do. And more recently, a few members of the Hollywood elite have made "demands" of congress to defy the president elect. So now the election is over. Your candidate lost. Stop being crybabies and threatening to commit suicide.

Everyone needs to stop listening to all of the fear-mongering innuendos coming from the "mainstream media" and the Hollywood elite. We need to start seeking some facts and work with each other instead of fighting  each other.

The president elect was not my first choice. I believe that these united states of America has an abundant amount of good, honest, intelligent, and knowledgeable people who would have made great leaders of this free (mostly) nation. They don’t all show up to volunteer for the job however. So in my opinion, perhaps we are left with “the lesser of two evils”.

The fact remains that the majority of the people in the majority of states voted for the president elect. And the Electoral College did their duty and carried through with the peoples choice per the system set up by our founding fathers. As a side note, the president elect would have won the controversial popular vote also if the largest liberal voting cities and states were discounted

With all of that said, please allow me to offer some encouragement. First of all, we will now have a president who is not a lawyer turned career politician. We will have a successful businessman who knows how to run things and get things done without all of the political posturing.

He is a leader who can delegate tasks and who expects results. I don’t believe he will tolerate slackers. Though the vice president elect is a politician, he seems to be a good man and "knows the system". He can help the president get things done.

The cabinet nominees thus far for the most part are other self made leaders. Successful people who have no reason to seek more power and money. Neither are they being selected as payment for political favors.

Since the president elect has no education in law and thus perhaps does not aspire to it, it is unlikely that he will be trying various law gymnastics (trickery) to circumvent the Constitution and written law.

He will be I believe a monkey wrench thrown in the machinery cog wheels of the political status quo. The status quo that addresses situations by forming more agencies and committees (bureaucracy) and throwing lots of money at it. When things usually get worse, instead of abolishing it and trying something new, it gets even more money.

The president elect is a very dynamic individual  and sleeps very little. He is listed as one of the top ten successful workaholics on at least one web site (He is number three after Oprah).

Anything negative about him can be offset by  the negatives of the other candidates, equal and worse. No one was campaigning for sainthood or a spiritual leader.

I do not fear the president elect. I would not have feared the loser. I do not fear any government official. “Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.” (II Peter, 2:17) The only thing affected is the way how one handles their affairs.

The new administration will be interesting at least I believe and I remain hopeful and confident that things will get better. God is still in charge.

“These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
