So the USA has spoken. It wants Donald Trump as President. Much of the world will look on in aghast, incredulous horror.
His victory was predictable – those outside the media bubble predicted it and preventing it was easily within the grasp of the Democratic Party – they have let down the world.
The American public wanted an anti-establishment figure. Clinton was tainted, rightly seen as a shill for Wall Street at home and the Neo-Conservative war machine abroad. If the Democrats had sent Bernie Sanders forward to oppose Trump he would have won, they knew this but deceitfully sabotaged his popular nomination instead.
The widely seen truth is that the Democratic party ignored the popular mandate of its own supporters and the popular feeling in the country as a whole. Clinton apparatchiks rigged the nomination for her and this merely underscored the public’s perception that Clinton was corrupt and backed by corrupt people.
Bernie Sanders should be victorious right now. He was ahead of Trump on every measure of polling and by a much bigger margin than Clinton. He was a credible anti-establishment figure in a nation that was screaming for one.
The Democrats chose cronyism and shilling for corporate power – the USA and the world will now pay the price.
The only bright hope that we at The Haze can see is that this result might force the USA to think some sober reflections about its education system, its dumbed down and corrupt political system and the baleful role of the corporate media.
In the meantime we must face reality. The world’s largest military budget and nuclear arsenal is now in the hands of a crank. One day soon Donald Trump, President of The United States of America will shake the hand of Boris Johnson – a British foreign secretary.
The world of humans is losing its mind.

Bernie Sanders could also have made a stand and contested Clintons ‘appointment’ as the Democrat presidential candidate. No way should he have indorsed her. Sanders nearly saddled the world with Hillary Clinton as the commander in chief of half the world’s military. He was, therefore, as dangerous as she was. Good ridance to both of them.
Now while Trump may well do some awful things, at least we’ll know what he’s doing while he’s doing it. This, alone, will be refreshing. And he won’t start a war with Russia or China; Clinton was itching to. Bring him on.
