Hillary did not listen, and her advisers had no clue.
My suggestions to Hillary were precise; her advisers did not understand the unfathomable loyalty Trump had earned from the disaffected Americans, and how to reach out to them and embrace. I wrote two articles in Huffington post, the first one was written on 08/03/2016 11:18 pm ET and the second on was written two days before the election day emphasizing what Hillary needed to do. Our founding fathers have laid a strong foundation of the checks and balances to ensure America remains a great nation, and thank God for the solid, stable government it has provided for the last 240 years and it will continue to be one. Individuals come and go, but the systems will sustain. I trust our system, and no matter who the president is, America will remain America.
We have more work on our hands to build a cohesive America, and I am committed to assertively seek to build such a nation where no American has to live in apprehension or fear of the other. Thanks to Huffington Post for paving the way for such an America. Please join me in rebuilding America at www. Centerforpluralism.com Excerpts from both the articles are appended below with the links to the articles

Understanding Trump, the Pied Piper – on August 3, 2016
Why do people fall for Trump? If you look at the history of any minority, be it Black, Irish, Italians, Jews or Catholics in the recent past, and Muslims, Hindus, LGBT, Hispanics and other minorities now, you see a common quest for recognition.
The LGBT, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs and members of other minorities love it when a Congressman, Senator or an actor speaks up kindly about them. They love the leader and become his or her defenders and promoters. Most leaders are genuine with a few exceptions. John McCain was authentic when he corrected the woman, “No, Madam. Obama is good family man….” And so was General Powell, who said, “So what if he is a Muslim?” These are unforgettable moments that Muslims Cherish, likewise there are moments like this for every community.
Hillary needs to pay attention to this. Those Americans, who have seen good times in the sixties through the 90’s with hiccups in the Mid-eighties, faced hard times after the economic collapse in 2006 brought in by Bush-Cheney’s reckless regime.
The Job losses, business closures, massive budget deficits, unprecedented home foreclosures, divorces and deeply disturbed family lives made it difficult for Middle America. No one talked about them; they were simply not a part of the conversation.
I hope Hillary Clinton hears me out; I am not a Democrat but a Patriotic American who wants the good for my country.
It is time for Hillary to emphatically include the disenfranchised ones, as an American Muslim, who is deeply committed to build a cohesive America that is good for all Americans; I offer the following pluralistic solution. “Hillary, please care for my fellow Americans who are hurt, they are White Americans who are ignored. They are honest hard working people who have seen good times, and now when the immigrants are prospering it is painful for them to see their quality of life decline. You have to pay attention and fix this fix. I know you are for all Americans, but it is time to reach out and embrace them, have a specific economic plan for them. If you don’t do it, the Pied Piper will bring a disaster to them and that will hurt every one of us.
My prosperity hinges on the prosperity of others around me, and my safety depend on how safe people are around me. It behooves me, you, and all of us to ensure that we ride the train together, and make sure no one is left behind.

Hillary’s last ditch effort – the final speech
“My priority is to reach out to my fellow Americans who had it good until the disaster from wars brought misery to them; the white Americans. We are going to find ways and means for them to recover from the difficult times they have endured while others Americans have prospered. “
The author of the following speech believes that Hillary Clinton needs to deliver this message in one fashion or the other on Monday, November 7, 2016.
