It is not difficult to understand why the Democrats lost the presidential election: law and order and the environment. Manufacturing has been going to Mexico and China, the most destructive countries in the world to our climate.

Entering and living in the U.S.A. without permission is not immigration, it is a crime. We do not reward criminals. When Clinton said she would introduce legislation to fast-track the process for 11 million illegals to receive legal status, she lost my vote and probably the election.

Even for an uneducated, white, rural, registered Democrat male, it’s simple to understand.
