Vini, Vici, Vidi - Trump vanquishes Hillary to win the race




The victory was decisive. Trump won the Presidency with a huge margin. He won fair and square.

This result is all the more significant as he fought against the entrenched forces; massive advertisement spending from the other side; a ganged-up media; spending a percentage of what the other side spent; against a massive support by the sitting President and the First Lady; and a list too long to dwell upon not to speak of party insiders who wanted him to lose, lose badly.

Now with a clear mandate, he should have an open road towards fulfilling election promises so that those who were hurting for a longtime get some relief. Jobs, jobs and more jobs.

Long live democracy and hope we will have a multi-party government in the future years where there will be possibility of more checks.

True democracy requires participation of multiple political parties

The election is barely a little more than two weeks away. There are lots of undecided voters. Even those who might have decided earlier may be vacillating. It is really a predicament. I have not decided but definitely it will not be the front runners.

I think it is time for a break up in the parties, both Democratic and Republican. The followers of Trump could form a splintered Republican party with a more appropriate name. The followers of Bernie Sanders, although Bernie himself gave up the dream, should make another party that believes in some of the causes that Bernie Sanders espoused, a splinter from the existing Democratic party.

I hope this year we will move away from this two party monopoly of American Politics.

Long live multi-party democracy, the only true form.
