Lui, che nel sistema ci ha sempre sguazzato.
Questa é stata la vera differenza.
Clinton si è fatta identificare sempre e comunque come parte dell'establishment...
...l'intollerabile status quo.
Trump, invece, ha sparato contro ogni bersaglio possibile: la finanza, le multinazionali, la politica nazionale e amministrativa, l'establishment, i cinesi, i messicani, il terrorismo e via discorrendo, così facendo si è fatto percepire come colui che avrebbe scosso le colonne del sistema senza paura di farlo perché esterno ad esso ... pur in assenza di un qualunque programma e in una caotica farneticazione...
Tutto molto logico. Sollevare un po' di istinti animali in persone "ferite". E che non pensano troppo.
Ma perché lo status quo è intollerabile?
La
disoccupazione è sotto il 5%, il costante operato di Obama sta funzionando.
L'assistenza sanitaria è arrivata. Sono arrivati accordi con Cuba ed Iran, non guerre.
Ci sono persone che vogliono nuovamente la villa con piscina dopo un mese di impiego al Burger King?
Vogliamo un altra crisi finanziaria? No, vogliamo tutto subito.
E se non l'abbiamo deve essere per forza colpa di qualcuno che sta sopra di noi.
Hillary ed il suo team non l'hanno capito, e non si sono resi conto che DonT aveva fatto fuori una schiera di repubblicani alle primarie che rappresentavano proprio l'establishment. Lei è stata l'ultima vittima del DonT anti-sistema. E non ha saputo e
potuto (the 2016 election is the first presidential contest in 50 years without the full protections of the VRA) convincere 5-6 milioni di elettori che votarono per Obama.
Ora le domande:
Che programma politico ha Trump? Nessuno lo sa.
Come farà a realizzare questa mini-rivoluzione? Improvvisazione?
Gli USA sono davvero sull'orlo del precipizio? Non credo.
I repubblicani faranno a pezzi le riforme di Obama e poi?
Toccheranno le banche? No fucking chance.
Wall Street? Vedremo chi tasserà i pro.
Vedremo tra quattro anni che cosa sarà riuscito a smantellare.
Io credo nulla di "established".
Basta leggere la carriera del suo VP.
Taglierà i programmi per i meno abbienti.
I fondi per l'education.
I fondi per l'ambiente.
"I don't really make political comments," Nick Saban said. "If I say I like one person, that means that everybody that voted for the other person doesn't like me. So why would I do that? I want what's best for our country. I'm not sure I can figure that out. I want what's best for people who want to improve the quality of their life, and I hope whoever our leader is will certainly do all that he can do to make our country safe and improve the quality of life of a lot of people in our country -- and
I don't think I'm qualified to determine who that should be."
"Donald Trump is going to be fine as president," Rivers said. "That's something I never thought I would have to say. Honestly. At the end of the day, he will be because I just believe America, overall, works. There's a Congress, a Senate, and it's going to work out."
Rivers was surprised by Trump's victory in the presidential race, but cited civic responsibility and an old sports adage when sharing his thoughts on the president-elect.
"I think sports should've helped us before the election," Rivers continued. "Never underestimate your opponent is the one thing I saw from the beginning. And, honestly, you guys know I know, I guess, President Trump. That's the first time I've said that. Oh boy. And he was underestimated. He really was from the beginning.
"And, I think we talk about in sports every night, don't underestimate your opponent. And, after defeat, the sun comes back up and you get back to work. In the political process, the way to get back to work is to actually get out and vote, you know, instead of protest. A lot of people didn't vote, and then they wake up the next morning and they're upset.
And, I think, the one thing this thing taught me again, is how powerful the vote is. It's extremely powerful. Rural America went out and voted. Inner-city America did not. You can make a case that people in inner cities didn't want to vote because there's not been a lot of change for them. And, they're tired of voting. They want some action. So, that's what I saw last night."
The Clippers coach reiterated participation in the political process as a means of activism for those unhappy with the results of Tuesday night and expressed optimism in moving forward as a nation.
"But, if you don't like it, you have two years from now to change it -- not the president -- but you can change the Congress," Rivers said. "You can change the Senate. If you don't like it, change it. And, you change it by either running or voting. So, I think that's the way. Don't get mad; go do something. I've said that. I say that to my players. 'Do something about it.' And that's my thing right now -- go do something about it if you want change.
"The sun came up this morning. There was a time late last night I wasn't sure if it was going happen, but it did. We're all going to be OK, everyone.
We're going to be OK."
Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred does not think Donald Trump's election as president will slow the sport's plans to stage more events in Latin America. Expanding international play has been one of Manfred's goals since succeeding Bud Selig as commissioner in January 2015. San Diego and Houston played a two-game spring training series in Mexico City, where the sport opened an office last March and which Manfred has mentioned as a possible expansion site.
Il fatto che il commissioner del baseball debba preoccuparsi di una cosa del genere è abbastanza "particolare".
Il 2018 inizia oggi.
Il 2020 è dietro l'angolo.
