No Sister, both did not fail.  Yours failed.  When Trump does his study of the voting you will see the majority.  I am happy for this because finally all will see the fraud of the voting system.  
There is no critical thinking in colleges because we have teachers who are not critical thinkers so forget teaching the students.  The Catholic colleges have all gone astray and are teaching nonsense.  There are no qualified teachers to teach history.  It is taught with no guidance from anyone.  Whatever you want to teach is fine. The students have no direction in high school so they cannot think critically later in life. Money is never the answer.  Passion is the answer and it is not there.
You talk of serious study, serious questions about the candidates.  What was done with Obama. Nothing at all.  He has destroyed this country and we must put it back together again.
I vetted Obama and did not vote for him because of what I found.  Everyone should have done the same.  God Be with Trump!
