"We did not elect a Saint, we elected a Leader."

I think some people were looking for the "anti-Leader'.  

After sixteen years of lies in a row, eight more with Hillary just wasn't acceptable.  She just wanted to "Lead" us down the same old path with the same old lies and for the same old results.  

Trump has sold himself as the anti-Politician, but takes advantage of the acceptance of political lying anyway.   

"He lied." now gets less attention from most people than it has in decades.  

Newspapers, TV news, Democrats, Republicans, local politicians, national politicians, school teachers, sports figures, priests.   

Everyone who used to be believable, if not always believed, is assumed to be a liar from the time they open their mouths....and that assumption gets verified every single day!

There are too many media and too many politicians who want to put the suffix ".........gate" as the tag on the latest revelation du jour.
