What the Hell Just Happened? – Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton and the Talking Heads

November 6, 2018

Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, our Host, the Talking Heads x 2, and the chorus of the American people reflect on first that he won and then why – This song is a Gospel number

Host: The returns are coming in now, and everything is going according to the usual script, as soon as the polls close we can call pretty much every state – the NorthEast for Hillary, the South for Trump, a couple of mid-Western states do far are too close to call..

Chorus: Too close to call, Not bad at all
We’re still ahead, So far so good.

Conservative Talking Head: I noticed we haven’t called Pennsylvania, Trump had been campaigning there, I think he just might win there.

Host and Other Talking Heads: That’s crazy – no Republican has won there since Reagan, and he’s no Ronald Reagan.

CTH: And Michigan is too close and Wisconsin too…
HaOTH: You’re just reading too much into this, we all know when the late votes are counted, they’re all from the inner city, and we all know what that means.

Chorus: Too close to call, Not bad at all
We’re not int the laed, but the late vote will come in for us.

Moderate TH: I’m getting calls from my people in PA – they say this just might go from Trump.
Slightly Left TH: As incredible as this sounds, Wisconsin is breaking Trump…
CTH: (Feeling empowered) You are hearing it here first. For all these weeks, you’ve had me on, humoring the small sliver of my people who watch THIS network. Well I’m here to tell you, this is going down tonight, right now – Trump pulled out all the stops in Michigan and Wisconsin and Pennsylvania while Hillary was resting her voice, and America – Donald Trump is going to be the next President of the United States!!! (Under his breath: Suck it you motherfuckers!!!)
Host: We are potentially looking at the biggest upset in modern American political history…

Chorus: Wha wha wha what’s happening? This can’t be really happening…

Host: It’s been a long night, folks, but we are ready to make a projection: Donald Trump has just been elected the 45th President of the United States!?

This surreal moment is captured around the nation as multiple groups come to grips with the realization that Donald Trump and not Hillary Clinton has just been elected President of the United States. The camera/spotlight shifts to the people/groups most impacted:

CofTH: What the hell just happened?
Chorus: What the hell just happened?
Hiilary (not comprehending): What the hell just happened?
DJT (confused): What the hell just happened?
Melania (horrified): What the hell just happened?
Republican Candidates (incredulous): What the hell just happened?

Chorus: Oh my God, you have forsaken
Your chosen people, you must be mistaken
Maybe we didn’t sing songs for Hillary
But a President Donald Trump should never be.
Maybe we didn’t vote like we did for Obama,
But we all know she’d win, just go ask yo’ Mama.
Lamentations ring out ‘cross the land
What the Hell just happened, we don’t understand.
