Larry Hunter: Trump victory is payback for eight years of Obama

As a Republican, along with others not Democrats, who suffered eight years under Obama’s rule, I can safely say that at no time did we riot in the streets and vent our frustration by destroying other people’s property. These rioters demonstrate the type of people prevalent in the Democratic Party, throwing tantrums like a child who didn’t get its way and who are seriously brain dead to think their actions will change the outcome of the election. These people were happy to sell their votes for promised entitlements and other freebies promised by the Democrats, but taxpayers tired of being used revolted. Live with it. I did.

While Donald Trump has no political experience, I would trust him more than Hillary Clinton who has repeatedly lied to the people and showed the type of Commander in Chief she would be by her inaction in the Bengahzi affair. He and the Republican Party have an opportunity to actually do something. As a final note, Trump comes to office with no political baggage and is not owned by the powers to be behind the Republican Party.
