Who Were the Ultimate Winners of the 2016 Election

Posted on 08/19/2025 by Just Jill

You may recall that Donald Trump was the winner of the 2016 presidential election but what about the others who ran against him. Did they ultimately lose?

I asked Perplexity to give me a synopsis of where each candidate is today. My purpose is to get a quick glance to determine if losing the primary was detrimental or ultimately a good thing. Please note that this entire article was written by me other than the answer given below in the quoted area. I offer my opinion on the answer given to me.

Here was my questions: In a brief synopsis (1-3 sentences), what is each person doing as of today (professionally or otherwise)?

Certainly! Here is the exact original synopsis you requested, without the links and including the bullet points as first written:

  • Donald Trump: Serving as the President of the United States, enacting new policies and seeking reforms, such as changes to immigration programs and tariff strategies.
  • Ted Cruz: U.S. Senator from Texas; Chair of the Senate Commerce Committee, leading bipartisan legislation and oversight, frequently positioning himself for future leadership.
  • Marco Rubio: U.S. Secretary of State, active in foreign policy negotiations and major international initiatives, especially relating to Latin America, the Middle East, and Ukraine.
  • John Kasich: Runs a consulting business (Kasich Company), serves as a political analyst for NBC, CNBC, and MSNBC, authors books, and gives public talks.
  • Ben Carson: Chairman of the American Cornerstone Institute, board member for major corporations, active public speaker, and advocate for conservative policy reforms.
  • Jeb Bush: Chairman of the Foundation for Excellence in Education, President of Jeb Bush and Associates (consulting firm), senior advisor to financial institutions, and active in school choice advocacy.
  • Chris Christie: After teaching at Yale in 2024, remains a prominent political commentator and appears at public events and academic conferences.
  • Carly Fiorina: Business consultant, public speaker, chair of Carly Fiorina Enterprises and the Unlocking Potential Foundation, with significant involvement in leadership development and historical commemorations.
  • Rand Paul: U.S. Senator from Kentucky, advancing libertarian legislative priorities in the Senate, like auditing the Federal Reserve, and addressing border security funding.
  • Mike Huckabee: U.S. Ambassador to Israel, involved in diplomacy during turbulent times in the Middle East, previously hosted the TV show “Huckabee.”
  • Rick Santorum: Conservative advocate, senior advisor to the Convention of States Project, political analyst for Newsmax, and board member for several organizations.
  • Lindsey Graham: U.S. Senator from South Carolina, active in foreign policy debates (notably Russia/Ukraine), facing a primary challenge but remains a key Republican figure in the Senate.

Consider the four gentlemen who lasted the longest during this contest. Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, and John Kasich. John is still to this day very anti-Trump so it’s hard for me to claim he’s in a better place considering how well Republicans are doing at this moment (plus I am not anti-Trump).

Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio became much stronger in their convictions and have far greater experience today than in 2016.

Part of that experience is the witnessing of how the establishment, the media, the deep state, or whatever terminology one uses to describe those who will do anything and everything to stay in power; how they desperately tried to destroy Trump. In some ways, they really did a number on his first term and, despite this, he still accomplished much.

Ted and Marco now have a battle plan, a play book if you will, on exactly what lengths the Democrats will go to win and retain power. They now understand how to stand strong and when not to bend as the Republicans of the past always did.

Even today there are Republicans who want to get rid of Trump or at least take over the MAGA movement and claim it for their own. They want to change it, adjust it, manipulate those who believe in it. They want to wiggle in and take it for themselves.

Ted and Marco understand what MAGA is and what it was and what it should be. If we let the squishes in, they will redirect the movement back to where we were… letting the Democrats do whatever they want, including bending us over.

Imagine what would have happened to either of these men if they had won the presidency.

Ted would have fought hard but it’s doubtful he would have ultimately won the war the Democrats opening and secretly waged against Trump. He may have negotiated with Democrats more than he should have, believing the rhetoric the Dems and the establishment Republicans told him because he believes in bipartisanship.

As to Marco, I feel he was too inexperienced at that time. Today he’s the US Secretary of State and has shown extreme resilience and an almost equal standing in some regards to Trump. He’s able to debate so-called journalists and come right out and tell them they are wrong or ridiculous in their questioning. He’s a man with strong convictions.

I won’t discuss the others in detail but, looking at the list of where they are now, it’s a way of getting a feel for their ability to bounce back. I wasn’t a fan of many of them and feel 80% would have taken us deeper into the Democrats clutches without a way to recover.

Although JD Vance did not run in the 2016 race and wasn’t a fan of Trump until more recent years, he has shown some incredible resilience and agrees with Trump on his policies. If he continues to impress the voters and stand with Trump, there is a great chance he will be the Republican nominee in 2028.

I am in no way a political expert but from my own instinctual thoughts, it seems the nominees should be Vance and Rubio, assuming the next 3+ years goes well. If Vance doesn’t perform well, I assume Rubio will run for president against him.

My reasoning for a Vance/Rubio ticket is that Vance could be president for 8 years with Rubio taking over for another 8 years utilizing all he’s learned as the US Secretary of State. That would be 16 years plus the current 4 and we could truly correct much of the mess the Democrats left for us. Rubio is a very strong choice!

There’s nothing wrong with a Vance/Cruz ticket other than Ted’s been doing such an outstanding job as a Texas Senator. I also don’t know if Ted Cruz would want to run for president in 2028 based on his current responsibilities. I would not be upset if he were VP or President at this point in his career.

Ted Cruz certainly won’t be too old at the age of 58 (born 1970) and Marco will be 57 (born 1971) so their ages are nearly identical. JD Vance will be 44 that year (born 1984), so quite a bit younger. I don’t know that age matters much when it comes to starting a presidential term if you’re between 40-60 years old.

Looking at Trump and Biden, age depends on a person’s health and path to the end of life. Both men were born in the 1940’s with Biden approximately 4 years older than Trump but the difference in their state of mental health is very obvious. The issue is that we often don’t know where a person will end up until they are there.

Let’s look at some possibilities.

A Vance/Rubio presidency…

  • 2028: Vance 44 & Rubio 57
  • 2032: (Assuming they stay in office)
  • 2036: Rubio 65 & unknown VP (8 yrs later – end at 73 years old)
  • 2040: (Assuming he stays in office)
  • 2044: Rubio 73 & unknown VP (ending at 79)

A Vance/Cruz Presidency is almost identical…

  • 2028: Vance 44 & Cruz 58
  • 2032: (Assuming they stay in office)
  • 2036: Cruz 66 & unknown VP (8 yrs  later – end at 74 years old)
  • 2040: (Assuming he stays in office)
  • 2044: Cruz 74 & unknown V) (ending at 80)

These scenarios show that the three men in question could all run between 2028 and 2044. Even if it was Vance/Cruz in 2028, it could later be Cruz/Rubio in 2036 and then Rubio and someone else in 2044. Rubio would be 73 in 2044 but that could still be a good age to run for president depending on his health.

The problem? We just don’t know what the future brings.

Presidential Prediction 2024

Posted on 10/19/2024 by Just Jill

Just for fun, lets make a prediction who will win in the presidential race of 2024.

Using the Election Time YouTube channel as a source of info, the following states are predicted to go for Harris.

Solid Blue: Washington, California, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Maryland, Washington DC, and Hawaii.

Likely Blue: Oregon, Colorado, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, and Delaware.

Lean Blue: New Mexico, Minnesota, New Hampshire, part of Maine, Virginia, and part of Nebraska.

The following states are predicted to go for Trump.

Solid Red: Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, North Dakota, South Dakota, most of Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, Kentucky, West Virginia, Indiana, Alaska, part of Maine, and Tennessee.

Likely Red: Texas, Iowa, Florida, and Ohio

Lean Red: Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.

Tilt Red: Wisconsin, Michigan, and Nevada.

Considering the scenario above, the end result would be a Donald Trump victory with a final total of 312 to 226 electoral votes.

What do I think? First, I am not well versed on polling data and often don’t trust their indications of elections however there are those who have accurately been able to predict outcomes based on polls. Second, since I’m clearly rooting for Trump to win, it’s easy for me to accept the prediction above but I’m also inclined to think some of these lean-blue states might go more red than others think. I’m not really a betting person so I won’t put my house on the line but I will make a prediction of my own.

People who are polled are not always honest with the callers and for the longest time people who supported Trump were afraid to admit it. This time around, they are stronger and more determined to make a stand. Due to that, the polls are showing more favorable outcomes towards Trump but there are still people who keep quiet.

It’s hard to fathom people completely blind to the bizarre radical nature of the democrats so I believe more will vote Trump than the polls are indicating. Not necessarily a red wave like Ronald Reagan but there may be some state surprises.

Perhaps New York won’t turn Blue but it will be closer there than predicted. People living in Colorado might surprise the system while New Mexico will think twice about their border. There are many in Oregon that hate the politics of their state so much that they want to branch off and become Idaho so maybe some day it will turn more purple than it is. Other than that, the lean-red states will be more red than initially indicated which will help in future elections.

Donald Trump – 45th and 47th president of the United States

Democrat Coup of 2024 – Where’s Biden?

Posted on 07/23/2024 by Just Jill

Identify and exploit their weakness

Manipulate the public’s perceptions

Create internal division in that person’s party

Amplify social unrest

Discredit the leader’s achievements

Promote an alternative

Stage a crisis or magnify an existing one

The seven steps above is how people in power cause others to lose confidence in a national leader. All of the above has happened in one degree or another regarding Joe Biden. The main differences lie towards the bottom of the list. Donald Trump was not killed therefore they had to force Joe to resign while promoting Kamala Harris (unless they find someone better).

They were beginning to suggest issues with his so-called achievements but never so much that they pointed a finger or said the policies were bad; they just eluded that he couldn’t do more. In fact, we know he’s done nothing but whatever they tell him to do because he’s so corrupt, he can’t help himself.

They have never really promoted Harris as an alternative. It seems they actively can’t stand her and even though Obama is slow to endorse anyone, it seems he’s suggesting there’s someone better without telling us who that is. He knows that if the media and others somehow accidentally determine who that person is, he is not responsible for what happens and he can claim he didn’t interfere in any way.

The crisis was to be the assassination of Donald Trump. That would have spun the country out of control and they were pushing so many narratives that it was inevitable someone would try. They may be able to say they are innocent because there is no proof (that we know of) but calling someone Hitler over and over again is bound to make people hysterical.

After the debate failure, the interview failures, the failed assassination attempt, and the many, many polls saying Biden will lose… the elite Democrats have stabbed Biden in the back!

As of today, we have still not seen Joe Biden and it’s been nearly a week. He got Covid and disappeared without any word on his health or status as our president. He dropped out of the race via X (basically broke up with the American voters by text message). The signature in his letter does not appear to be his usual signature and even the wording is weird. He later endorsed Harris and eventually spoke to the public over the phone at her campaign press conference. We aren’t sure what the event was because she hasn’t been officially named the nominee and it feels oddly undemocratic what they are doing!

Our assumptions that Joe is not nor ever has been in charge, is 100% true. He can slip away and someone else supposedly takes care of things. The administration and back office operatives have been running the country and that includes Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, and several non-politician big names. Millionaires and billionaires pushing buttons to destroy the middle class and overrun our country with violence so they can save us from ourselves.

The Democrats are destroying democracy while pointing their bony fingers at Trump saying he’s destroying democracy. They are hypocrites, liars, and power hungry monsters. They are the definition of Un-American.

This is a coup and everyone knows it!

The World in 2024

Posted on 02/22/2024 by Just Jill

There are so many things to write about in regards to our country and the political environment that it’s much like standing in a large candy store unable to decide which one to purchase. So many days I hear and see things I wish to write about and then another 24 hours passes and yesterday’s item is washed aside by today’s insanity.

Listing all that has gone awry and all the crazy lunatics that have seeped from the basements and closets of society would take another year to cover. Whether we talk about politicians, educators, activists, entertainers, or bizarre influencers… the conversation is generally the same. There is a crazed group of individuals that want our societies across the planet to completely implode.

Parents somehow believe or are being tricked into thinking it’s okay to inject their children with puberty blockers because a human who has been alive for less than 10 years can decide they aren’t what they are. Somehow these parents have forgotten that children have no concept of adult thinking or knowledge.

They believe in a fairy godmother, they believe in dragons, they believe monsters live under their beds, they believe they can fly, they believe they are both a girl and a boy. Think about that last one… children don’t think it’s a problem that needs to be fixed; they are simply playing make-believe. But it’s not the child that’s forcing the change… it’s the adults in the room.

When your child comes to you and says ‘what does horny mean’, do you go into a long explanation about where babies come from and relationships and condoms? No, this is what you say… ‘it’s when someone wants sex a lot’. More than likely, they say ‘oh’ and that’s that. If more questions come, simple answers are best. These parents would probably pull out their porn video and make their kid watch it rather than having a child-like conversation.

Society today is pushing kids to do things that lead them out of the innocence of childhood and into the regret of adulthood.

This child abuse is probably the worst thing happening in the world right now. Next in line is illegal immigration (aka an invasion) and the obvious attempt of our current president (and his friends) putting our past president in jail, bankrupting him, or worse. The fact people cannot or will not see this as a communist or authoritarian act or something straight out of the leadership of a dictator, is proof they will do whatever it takes to get what they want.

Things are turning around in various parts of the country and the rest of the world. These crazed people know, deep down, that they are the minority and sooner or later (hopefully before it’s truly too late) the majority will stand and scream.

I know the question is ‘when’ will this happen and I will explain this as a possible answer.

In the beginning (for me), I thought what I was observing and thinking was false because no way would people think what I was being told they thought. Then things started happening… little things, big things… and when Trump was elected, the Left went nuts and started showing their cards. Hell, they started throwing every deck of cards they had on the table.

This was when the truth (for me) started coming out. It was no longer rumor that they wanted the option to abort a baby the day before it was born; now it was fact as they made it law. It was no longer rumor that they wanted to allow every illegal to cross our border and freely do whatever they wanted; they implemented it. It was no longer a one-off that the education system was lying to parents and taking their kids away; several parents are losing their children to some inhuman entity. It was no longer one or two dudes getting angry when called a man instead of a woman; some parts of the world are putting people in jail for it.

So when will the silent majority stand up and say enough is enough?

They are doing it now.

The bigger question is when will the silence of it become a loud boom?

When people see enough other people make themselves known; something that is happening today. My own courage grows and I tell others where I stand and they almost always jump in agreement. They tried to keep us apart and make us feel isolated and alone. It worked for a while but no more.

United we stand!

Gas Prices September 26, 2023

Posted on 09/26/2023 by Just Jill

There’s a lot of gas price mentions in the news these days. More and more looming threats that a barrel could get to $150. This is my first real look at gas prices for 2023 mainly because prices seemed to level somewhat, though never to pre-2021 prices.

The price comparisons listed for each state below is September 2022 to September 2023. Most all have increased however the projection is that these prices will all go up significantly.

This is a continued study in gas price changes after Joe Biden took office in January 2021. I am tracking the following states: California (West), Idaho (NW), Minnesota (N-mid), Pennsylvania (East), Florida (SE), Texas (S-mid).

Compare previous posts:

They want us in a race war

Posted on 09/22/2023 by Just Jill

It’s outrageous what ‘they’ want to happen to this country. It’s clear they want all of us fighting each other in a forever non-declared civil war between citizens. Nothing official, nothing declared as real but still pushed right up to the line of an actual war.

Who are they? Anyone pushing hatred and division to keep us at odds.

Tom MacDonald has created several songs and videos with messages similar to the one below. He, along with other musicians, performers, and behind the scenes talent with the same desire to stop this nonsense, are working hard to get people to see the truth. There are many who have tried to get people to listen but sadly there are too many devils sitting on too many shoulders telling too many lies.

This is the comment I made on the video:

Everything millions of people have been saying is wrapped up in this song. They want us fighting! They want us fractured into so many pieces we no longer know who we are, what we stand for, or where we fit in.

Black, white, old, young, man, woman, dem, rep, liberal, conservative, gay, straight, religious or not… it’s all to keep us trusting no one because there will be no one to fully trust. Alliances become shades of gray or simply fade to nothing.

Unfortunately, there are some who will attack others just for the thrill of it and therefore turning the other cheek and ‘letting it all happen’ is no longer going to work. I don’t want to fight but I will if it means living or dying. Just Jill

This chaotic whirlwind of hate is created and fueled by powerful individuals and organizations that find joy in watching it all burn. The lust for power and the greed of money keeps them pumping garbage messages into the system; messages we eat up like liquid candy.

What is the answer? Live and Let Live doesn’t work anymore. Telling people we don’t care what they do in the privacy of their own homes doesn’t work anymore. Activists and politicians love to see us stab at each other and they push the hate. They want us to accept what they spew as truth and take it upon ourselves as a new way of life.

An endless list of circumstances has been put into play that will make every citizen a slave to the government. Our money will be worth nothing and we will need to sell what we have for scraps of cash and then have nothing that isn’t granted to us by those in power.

The best way to do this is through distraction. Some of the best distraction is hatred of those different than us and they have created an endless list of those differences so we have no allies in any direction. Even liberals are having a hard time determining which new minority or special classification is better than another and sacrifice some to their own grinding machine; the social media mob.

Those pulling the strings are usually invisible; identifying them is the challenge. Harmony is the last thing they want because that means people are getting along. It means families are working as one, neighbors are helping each other in their daily lives, it means people have friends who are dedicated to each other, and it means happiness is prevalent in society.

They can’t have that! They must keep hatred so strong in our daily lives that we can’t remember when times were better; and millions of individuals can tell you that times were better!

So what’s the answer?

Remove their flow of money, remove them from office, take away their power, remove their masks and show the world who they really are, dig up and expose all of the systems they have put into place to keep us fighting, expose who starts the lies in the first place by tracing back to the source, and lastly… stop listening to them!

The Six W’s of Journalism

Posted on 01/13/2023 by Just Jill

Anyone who took journalism in school was taught about the Five W’s. Anyone who knows anything about what journalism should also know about the Five W’s.

Today, however, it appears there are Six W’s.

Apparently journalists are not taught about them the way they used to be nor in any way that resembles what it should be.

Who… What… When… Where… Why (and occasionally How).

If a journalist sticks to these 5 rules while on assignment and investigating a story, they will come back with facts that readers can consume.

While I was in journalism class, we were also told to give our stories some flare. Here is where some of the trouble began.

The stories I turned in contained the 5 W’s but not enough flare; not enough interest was generated when reading my assignment. In other words, it was boring.

Back then it was hard for me to grasp the concept of writing a news article with just facts while also writing it in a way that created interest. I just didn’t get it because in my eyes generating that kind of interest required imagination and embellishment I didn’t quite have yet.

So here we are in 2023 and anything boring is considered a death signature for the career of a journalist. If you can’t generate a name for yourself that stands out over and above your story, you’re just another nobody that no one want to know.

There are some news organizations that have been caught telling their reporters to generate stories or focus on certain types of stories or just certain individuals. That’s okay if you’re truthful about your purpose as said organization.

If, however, you are advertising your organization as a news organization that reports all news regardless of who it’s about, well then… you better not get caught telling journalists they can only focus on certain things while ignoring others.

Here in lies the problem; we are desensitized to the normal, everyday event which isn’t a big deal except we are now desensitized to some of the most horrendous events. There’s so much sensationalism in reporting that we just don’t care. I’ve read headline after headline that should have shocked me but meant nothing more than the weather.

Why is that? A picture like this should create an emotion of tragedy and sympathy; maybe even a desire to help and the will to do it.

One reason for the lack of give-a-damn is that when I do happen to get into the article, I often find that the event that actually took place is nothing like the headline. It’s misleading; it’s click-bait.

This picture could read “Hurricane wipes out family home” but when I click to read it, the article may end up being a clever way to create a need for insurance with the article coincidentally containing a handy-dandy phone number for my convenience. It may indeed speak of a tragic event, but the way it’s written leave me not caring.

Another reason is so many people are reporting the same thing in a more sensational way to get over the heads of other reporting the same thing. They must be louder, bolder, slap my face harder!

One more reason… they are no longer trustworthy. How many times have you read or heard a report just to find out later that it wasn’t true, or it was exaggerated? How many times have you heard a pundit take a normal subject and blow it out of proportion while claiming to be a journalist.

Pundits are not journalists, but many journalists are acting like pundits.

What is the sixth W, I hear you ask. Here is what I’ve come up with and just to be clear, I wrote this down on a pad of paper a number of years ago and it sadly has not gotten better with time; it’s actually much, much worse.

Who… What… Where… When… Why… and…

Whether or not you want my opinion, you’re getting it!

Gas Prices November 15, 2022

Posted on 11/15/2022 by Just Jill

Now that the Mid-Terms are over and the dust is still settling, lets see if the gas prices have been affected. At the moment, it appears prices have gone down in the six states I’ve been reviewing the last couple of years.

This is a continued study in gas price changes after Joe Biden took office in January 2021. I am tracking the following states: California (West), Idaho (NW), Minnesota (N-mid), Pennsylvania (East), Florida (SE), Texas (S-mid).

Gas Prices October 30, 2022

Posted on 10/30/2022 by Just Jill

On October 27th, Joe Biden made the following claim. “Today, the most common price of gas in America is $3.39 – down from over $5 when I took office.”

Remarkably even CNN & MSN are fact checking it as a false statement.

CNN: In previous remarks, Biden has discussed the state of gas prices in relation to the Russian invasion or the summer peak, not in relation to when he took office. Regardless of his intentions in his remarks on Thursday, though, the price of gas might well be the single most important price in the midterm election campaign, and this speech was the second this fall in which Biden described it inaccurately – both times in a way that made it sound more impressive.

MSN: During a Thursday speech in Syracuse, New York, Biden accurately said that gas prices, now averaging about $3.76 per gallon, have declined by roughly $1.25 since this year’s June peak of over $5 per gallon. But then he claimed, “Today, the most common price of gas in America is $3.39 – down from over $5 when I took office.” People in the audience applauded.

Gas Prices October 17, 2022

Posted on 10/17/2022 by Just Jill

The month of October is seeing gas prices increase once again. California increased the most going from $5.883 to $6.059 on average. As Biden asks Saudi Arabia to postpone their OPEC cut by a month, many people wonder if this coincidentally corresponds to the November mid-term election or if it simply corresponds to the mid-term election.

This is a continued study in gas price changes after Joe Biden signed his Executive Order eliminating thousands of jobs. I am tracing the following states: California (West), Idaho (NW), Minnesota (N-mid), Pennsylvania (East), Florida (SE), Texas (S-mid).

Genital Mutilation vs Mastectomy

Posted on 09/27/2022 by Just Jill

If you look at the world today vs the world just a decade or two ago, things have changed dramatically. It’s not as if we weren’t already going to this place we now reside, it’s that the moment to advance ripened for those wanting to push drastic changes. If nothing else, the year 2020 was a laugh in the face of the notion we should have 20/20 vision. We keep looking back and we keep not learning.

There are several articles and websites dedicated to the banning and horrors of female genital mutilation and several dedicated to the joy and benefit of transgender surgery. I agree with the notion that genital mutilation is a horrible practice but I do not agree that gender changing surgery for children or teenagers is a good thing based on the notion they are uncomfortable in their bodies.

Gas Prices September 27, 2022

Posted on 09/27/2022 by Just Jill

Let’s look at gas prices in September 2022. Notice that the prices in the states I am watching have gone down (other than California). Question for everyone, what will happen once our reserves are completely drained by Joe Biden’s order? It feels a lot like he’s trading the US security for a vulnerability none of us can overcome. Doesn’t that make him a traitor to our country. Is the word treason too harsh? Why would he do this to us? There’s money and power on the line and he is owned by those who will do whatever they want to our country.

Twenty-One Years Later on 9/11

Posted on 09/12/2022 by Just Jill

The citizens of the United States, regardless of political belief, came together after terrorists attacked our country and killed 2,996 of our fellow Americans in 2001.

Sadly, instead of those enemies being eliminated, they have multiplied. For example, the Biden administration continues to allow our southern border to be overrun by illegal aliens swarming our land after his own words of encouragement. It has been proven that some of these people are known terrorists and it’s unclear how many are within the interior.
