When I was a teenager my parents forced me to go my grandfathers house to become closer with them . Big mistake It was 2 story farm house . So I was sleeping downstairs on the couch . My grandparents and my aunt were sleeping upstairs . Anyways , when I woke up I was in my aunts bed with her . Thankfully she was still sleeping when I left . It was fucking traumatizing . After that thay I never visited that place . ever ! <| sep |> I see his cabinet appointments being decided thusly Pence tells Trump who to hire because he actually knows politicians , which results in establishment , conservative appointees . Also , Trump goes after people he ' s met in his business life , like Brietbart guy , etc . Eventually , his cabinet will be so overwhelmingly republican , he ' ll have to choose someone who ' s at least somewhat moderate . He did meet with Tulsi Gabbard , which is at least a step in that direction . The kicker is that republicans have to extend that olive branch , and the dems have to take it and work with them if they want to maintain at least some say . Trump won partly because he said he was antiestablishment , but probably more that he was antihillary , and that Hillary was such an awful candidate to begin with . The DNC pushed a product with no demand , and created a media blackout for Sanders . This whole shady practice Trump adopted and ran with , saying the MSM was rigged , the whole thing was rigged , and he was right . But it was rigged for people like Sanders , so they ' d lose to people like Clinton . TLDR Voter disenfranchisement , voter id laws and restrictions led to less voter turnout , eventual trump win . I think it ' s been statistically proven that when there ' s more voter turnout , the democratic candidate wins . During the primaries , voters were excited , more people voted than in previous years , perhaps because of sanders . But after Sanders continued to lose , american voters lost their hard ons for democracy and turned bitter and didn ' t vote , or voted Harambe out of spite . If you care , here ' s a harvard study 1 which goes into signficant detail about the election process , using the 2008 election as a base . The study considers the voter turn out , and the demographic makeup of those who actually turned out to vote . Here ' s an especially relevant quote from page 13 , As in every American election where reliable data is available , the voters were significantly wealthier , older , more educated , more likely tobe white , and more likely to attend church compared to the eligible nonvoters .
