Bush 43 on Trump Victory - Trump Era

Telegraph - Live Reporting: Reports in its 6.22pm post the following, " George W. Bush congratulates Trump..Former president George W Bush has reportedly called Donald Trump to congratulate him on his election victory, and said he was praying for his success...Quite a few people seem to be praying today. "

Lets Get Real:

This was a nice of Bush 43 to congratulate Trump, one does wonder if the former President thought that when Trump reaches the Oval the people of have been critical of him will have to give his Presidency a 2nd look.    It should be noted that President - Elect Trump was highly critical of Bush 43 during the Primary fight, one does hope that President Trump when in Office will use the both Bush 41 and Bush 43 as sounding boards for his foreign policy actions.    It has been a long night and day.

Review of President Obama's remarks on the Trump victory - Trump Era

Guardian - Live Reporting: Reports in its 5.32pm post the following, " Barack Obama has just suffered a devastating blow to his legacy. He failed to hand off the White House to a member of his party, despite his personal popularity. His namesake health care legislation is on the chopping block. Same with his actions on emissions caps, other environmental regulations, immigration reform and more... With a Republican-controlled Congress and White House, no piece of Obama’s legislative or executive legacy would seem to be safe.  So that was a gracious speech, too, under the circumstances. "

Lets Get Real:

They were great remarks by a leader on his way out, the question is what will be left of the Obama legacy?   One can assume that ObamaCare could get axed, there will be regulation rules that will be thrown out.    While President Obama has had a frosty relationship with Putin's Russia it can be expected that Trump will wish for warmer relationship, there could be an agreement to allow Putin and Assad to take out the threat of Daesh in Syria, while Putin might make a  move on the Baltic States in between the election and Trump taking over.   Thus President Reagan will be the only two President in modern times to hand over to his office to his VP.   It shows again that even President Obama is not as great as the Gipper, that is why Reagan is the favorite President of most Republicans and a few Democrats.

The Future for Hillary Clinton - 2020?

Daily Mail: Reports " Shattered-looking Hillary Clinton tells supporters to accept shock result despite winning the popular vote but issues warning that Donald respects individual human rights "

Lets Get Real:

Thus what is the future for HRC, is this her final attempt at the Presidency, it should be noted that President Reagan ran three times and was only successful at the third attempt in 1980, one doubts HRC is thinking about running again, she has lost to Obama in 08 and now Trump in 2016.  It could be postulated that she might go and run the Clinton Foundation, but that is under FBI investigation, on the other hand she might decide to run for the Senate in 2018.    Of course there is the question is there a third chance for the Presidency in modern politics, one would say NO.   The HRC concession speech was nice, did remind me of Richard Nixon in 1974 in way.   Is this the last we shall hear of the Clinton's, one has doubts.

The American Results - Election 2016 - Trump Administration

BBC News:  Has the complete results from the Presidency to House and Senate results, in the Presidency, Trump won by 278 electoral votes to 228 for Hillary Clinton.  Clinton takes a narrow win in the popular vote.   The Republicans hold control of the House and Senate.

Lets Get Real:

It was a long night, this blog predicted that HRC would take Florida, it  did not happen, while Trump took some blue States that no one expected.   There needs to be a tough investigation of how polls are done, the polling industry in the US and UK need to get their ACT together or people will just dismiss polls.   The late surge for Trump was not spotted, the white working class male turned out for Trump.   This blog has to admit it placed a bet of £5 a few months ago that Trump would win, it was a throw away bet, I should have put down more.    I allowed my political gut to be swayed by the polls and pundits, that will not happen again.   Thus a Trump Presidency, what will be the foreign policy of Trump, will he place more troops in Syria to finish off Daesh, will he try to defrost the relationship between the US and Russia.    It can be expected that Trump might visit Russia before taking office, to see what the US and Russia can agree on.   If your the Baltic States you are worried that Trump might revoke the Article 5 of  NATO thus removing the joint defence pact between the members.  When it comes to domestic policy it can be expected that Trump will cut taxes and try to remove ObamaCare.     The new President and oldest President ever elected will have a lot on his plate in January.
