OMG!!

So, I've let the dust settle somewhat before blogging about the US presidential election.  Don't think the delay has really helped though - I'm still in shock.  The perceived wisdom is that, as with the brexit vote here, this was the result of a groundswell of opposition to the "establishment" rather than people really voting "for" anything.  There are indeed spooky similarities with the brexit vote, and just as we over here are seeing those who voted leave starting to become disillusioned and annoyed as they realise they may not get what they thought they were voting for, I wonder if the same thing might happen over there as Trunp - as he inevitably must - reins back on some of his more outlandish pronouncements. Have a feeling that there's still some mileage left in this whole business.
