Nov. 9, 2016. The morning after and the Donald Trump supporters are smiling.

By any assessment, it has been a very heavy duty campaign on all sides, plenty of blood letting, figuratively speaking.

I watched the kindly and diplomatic acceptance speech from Donald Trump and the kindly and gracious defeat speeches from Tim Kaine, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.

I also saw the pundits on the majority of channels, endeavoring to justify how they got it all so wrong.

Some pundits are quite embarrassing to watch as they try to spin the victory of Donald Trump, mainly to retain some personal excuse for expertise.

All, however, should not forget that the result is the majority of the population demonstrating their clear rejection of eight years of faulty policies by a poorly run government.

God bless America.
