This describes Jimmy Carter's election night win. And Barack Obama's. As well as many more. Not just Donald Trump's.
America has been here countless times. Each time, the people were hoodwinked.
In 1976, Jimmy Carter was the "humble peanut farmer" outsider who was expected to clean up the nation after the corruption of the Richard Nixon/Gerald Ford/Watergate era. Instead, the Carter administration was a bastion for David Rockefeller's Trilateral Commission and international bankers, and the foreign policy agenda of Zbigniew Brzezinski.
In 1980, Ronald Reagan was expected to save America from the "malaise" of Carter. The aged Reagan was nearly assassinated shortly after taking office, and further rendered a doddering figurehead. The power was held by vice president George H.W. Bush, who would become the next president, and whose criminal apparatus and overriding influence and New World Order would continue to run or influence every presidential administration to the present.
In 1992, Bill Clinton was "The Man from Hope", alongside "powerful new-age woman" Hillary Clinton, slated to provide salvation from the horrors of the Iran-Contra/Gulf War and George H.W. Bush. Bill and Hillary Clinton, co-conspirators with the Bush network during the Iran-Contra era, continued the agenda of the Bushes, while posing as their adversaries.
In 2008, charismatic Barack Obama arrived as the embodiment and symbol of change, expected to rescue a nation outraged and tired of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. Obama declared that "change has come to America!" Posters of Obama's face with the word "Change" covered walls throughout the world. Instead, Obama, with Vice President Joe Biden and the State Departments of Hillary Clinton and John Kerry, continued and worsened the programs of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.
So now, the question facing America and the world is:
There are no clear answers.
Comment: Critics on social media are calling for Comey to resign or be fired. An email from the head of the Clinton campaign's opposition research to staffers also blamed Comey: Right there they acknowledge the problem - and it is a problem. But Clinton offered no solution - she couldn't. That would mean changing the "political economic system" that she supports, and which supports her. The email also lists the "strategies" empoyed to meet the challenges facing the campaign, highlighting their success in "addressing the anger and frustration many Americans felt about wages and good-paying jobs" and disqualifying Trump, "making him unfit to be president." Note that phrasing: they made him unfit to be president. No mention of the fact that Killary was trailing close behind him, at -14 (41-55). Here's how they explain what happened: Clinton insider Sid Blumenthal agrees, calling Trump's win a "coup d'etat" - "the result of a cabal of right-wing agents of the FBI in the New York office attached to Rudy Guiliani." John Podesta was right about Sid when he wrote on January 1st of this year, "Sid is lost in his own web of conspiracies. I pay zero attention to what he says."
