Have you and other Democrats ever thought of looking in the mirror and say to yourself, "Are we the cause of this? Have we forgotten about the struggling working middle class so much that WE allowed him to be elected?"
The bar was set by the preceding president and the ignoring of many Americans. The bar was set when you were told you could keep your doctors under the Affordable Care Act, then couldn't keep your doctor. The bar was set by the media openly campaigning against the Republicans rather than reporting the news without any spin. The bar was set when we had a president and DOJ that offered his "deepest condolences" to the Michael Brown family and didn't offer any condolences to Darren Wilson when it was found that he was cleared of ANY wrongdoing. The bar was set when our politicians didn't use leverage against companies taking their business outside of our borders. The bar was set when that red-line became an invisible line when Syria used chemical weapons. The bar was set we lost Americans in Benghazi and when we allowed ISIS to rise up to the point we had to begin a 2 1/2 year campaign against them (which still isn't done, but the eastern side of Mosul is almost 100% taken back).
That's just some of the reasons he was elected. People are tired, and possibly scared, of the direction the country was heading and he was the best viable candidate that spoke to them. The Democrats put up an absolute losing cause for their candidate. Blatantly helped deceive the voting Democrats by feeding her questions and throwing her the Super Delegates even after Bernie won the states popular vote and she still got as many delegates as him (but we'll let the Democrats talk about how Donald didn't win the popular vote and was still elected).
We all want President Trump to succeed. If he succeeds then America succeeds. If there is anyone out there that wouldn't want to see that then we live in a more fucked up country than what plays out on the TV screens during the nightly news. I like to believe we are all better than what is shown. There are some assholes that want to riot just for the sake of rioting, hell I'd venture to say that 90% of the ones causing damage never set foot in a voting booth or mailed in a voting booth.

Middle America is generally used as both a geographic and cultural label, suggesting a Central United States small town or suburb where most people are middle class; Evangelical Christian, Mainline Protestant or Catholic; and white.

I wasn't digging at you for your comment above. All I was saying that we, as Americans,let this happen. I do believe that middle America wasn't being heard under the last president. If you weren't a large city he didn't care (except for the south side, nobody obviously cares)

The Shark Tank guy?
If he's anything like the Shark Tank persona, I could see an O'Leary campaign looking a lot like a Trump one.
