LIke Gore, Hillary Clinton won the popular Vote but not the Electoral votes

This election wasn't as close as As the one with Bush and Gore but Hillary Clinton by far won the popular vote. The problem seems to be that this segment of the population who voted for Hillary will not accept Trump as their president. Maybe they would accept him as a racist or a rapist but not as a president. So, I'm hearing things like Washington, Oregon and California seceding from the union.

Tonight we went into San Francisco from the forest we live in near the ocean ( 1 mile away) and our daughter who is in college there took us to a place called Slurp in the Castro district which serves good noodles Thai style and things like Thai Iced tea also. I had Pad Thai and my daughter and friend and wife had other things. I also ordered a Papaya Salad which is good too and  a Thai iced tea.

What I completely did not expect though were thousands of people demostrating down Castro STreet against Trump tonight. I realized this election won't work this time. People might have accepted and likely would have accepted Romney as president and they would have accepted McCain as president and they somewhat accepted Bush as president even though he spent 6 trillion dollars and caused the Great Recession by going into Iraq. But, they are likely not going to accept Trump as president now, especially since the polls were either wrong or Russia threw the election (one or the other). So, they feel cheated and lied to by everyone now.

I'm of a different school of thought. I'm just grateful that we have any president at all and it's not 2000 again. Even if California, ORegon and Washington secede from the union rather than living under Trump I still think we are ahead of the game that people aren't killing each other yet over this whole thing.

But, you have to remember I have seen Eisenhower, Kennedy (then assassinated), Johnson, Nixon, Carter, Reagan (shot but lived), Bush, Clinton, Bush and Obama all be president already and what each one brought both good and bad to the country (it's always both).

So, I likely have  a different perspective than most people who voted for Hillary. So, I'm just grateful to have any president at all that might make it into office without killing some or all of the electorate dead or the rest of the world.

So far, we are all still alive and under Obama. Who knows what the future will bring?
