I voted in this recent election because voting is what democracy is based on: the will of the people.<br /><br />I've voted since the early 1970s and sometimes my choice won, sometimes lost. This election was remarkable in that the new president has no experience in politics or the military, which might be a blessing.<br /><br />Trump cannot "rule" the U.S. as our Constitution forbids it. The U.S. is strong because its government has check and balances. Give Trump a chance, and if he fails, he'll not be the first president to disappoint the people. In four years, we can elect someone else.<br /><br />The states will remain united and that union will remain&nbsp;strong.&nbsp;
