Much of what you say has merit. But, I will humbly contend that this election hinged upon fear as the overwhelming factor..Fear of change, fear of terrorists blowing up things, fear of the unknown, all items that, as we are taught in first year logic, are items that cannot be proven or disproven. Case in point...There has been no attack on American soil in three years. That's good. But, there was none in the previous eight years, nearly three times as long a period of time. Could one not infer that that was a more successful effort? Can neither be proven or disproven, but the former is touted as absolute fact. Fighting in the Middle East keeps them insurgents and evil doers so busy they can't come over here and make trouble. Another unprovable, although somewhat negated by our porous borders, with which I am very familiar, since I live in Tucson.

What you are seeing is not a vast coalition. You are seeing a blip on the long timeframe of the country's history. Things change; people change, attitudes change. Right now, many Americans are convinced that the current occupant in the White House is a totally moral and ethical individual. That perception can and possibly will change with time, given the whimsical nature of the populace. It all depends on how one defines moral, and that definition is in a state of continual flux. I am not convinced that the president is as advertised in all respects, nor should he be. He is, like the rest of us, a complex individual with a predisposition to a certain way of behaving. The next three or four years will be interesting/ Let's just pray they are not more dangerous than the last three.
