    You've been reading to much of MSM. Shut the television off, and start learning about PEOPLE. Not one woman in my family was willing to vote for the vagina. Got that? The vagina lost, plain and simple. All across this country, women were offended at Hillary's attitude that she somehow "deserved" the office. At least Trump didn't come across as the bitch with a silver spoon inserted in every orifice in her body.
