I spoke to a few of my neighbors and local residents in Franklin, Indiana concerning their reactions to this past election. Below are the thoughts of my neighbor, Ronda Corta. We had a really good conversation, and she shared her opinions with me for our lovely readers. Here's what she said:

Ha ha - well let's see. I have always said there are enough checks and balances that nearly anyone could be elected without it dramatically impacting the American way of life and that will certainly be tested.I don't think he is the best representation of us as a people especially on a global scale. I am most surprised that a majority of people elected him and am very interested in what demographic that is. Impressive that he got that many people mobilized to vote. Of course personal opinion aside, he is our / my President and the good thing about our country is that it is a peaceful exchange of leadership. I am hopeful he surrounds himself with sound advisors who will guide him into decisions. I had to check a number of sources this morning because I thought I was being punked! Brilliant from a marketing standpoint. I am interested for that demographic to be uncovered. If you are looking for a "colorful" commentary, feel free to talk to Tony!

Stay tuned, as I bring you more thoughts from my community!
