    Trump the winner did what he had to do to win the election, that's what winners do. Now he is trying to unite America and Americans. But Democrats hate a united America, so they push riots.

    So you think only nice people vote for a sexist, misogynistic, sociopathic , overly sensitive, vindictive, and delicately pursed mouth racist pig ?

    I don't, I think the people who voted for him must LIKE that or why would they vote for it ??? They must approve of him grabbing their daughters and wives and mothers by the crotch and laughing about it. They must approve of wealth letting you pick and choose the judge who is going to try your case based on his ethnicity.

    . There was no proof that Clinton had done anything wrong, just opinions and lies that these people you're defending took as truth with no proof.

    No, the people who voted for trump are either the "know nothings" or just as nasty and evil as trump, hating anyone who isn't white and male.


    Just wait and see......

    Absolutely. And all they can do send some low life people, probably not even Americans, run around cities, burn and destroy public property. (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)s who have never done any decent work in their miserable lives. All they know is destruction and violence.

    Don't bother, your head is buried too far in the sand or you're too delighted to have voted for a man who has every right to grab your daughter/mother/wife/sister by the crotch and laugh about it..

    If you want to whitewash every sexist, racist, nasty word Trump said in the last year I certainly can't change your mind.

    And you won't change mine. People who see nothing wrong with mocking the disabled are sick beyond measure. Good decent people don't even think of that.

    I DO love how Republicans NOW NEVER mention "family values" , their fake rallying cry of the PAST....:)


    Yes, Presidents in the past have done some rotten things AFTER they were elected.....now Repubs knew bout the stench beforehand and STILL voted for him....


    PS: "" know you have more sense than this"""....sorry I can't return the compliment.....I never noticed if you had any...

    I see you haven't lost our bumper stick assessment of the situation...

    Why would trump try to unite an America where he thinks no one has rights but white males?

    He spent months denigrating every race, religion and the female sex, preaching hate and ridiculing the disabled ...and now you think he want to "unite America""!??


    Did you think he was lying through his entire campaign ??!!



    His beliefs only leave room for white males, those are the only ones he wants to unite, unite against all the other groups...

    You fell for the left's spin on Trump, and now you feel duped and angry, I get it.

    Most of the rest of the country is ready to move forward, and the pockets of angry nasty liberals can either suck it up and join up with the rest of the country as we move forward and begin making America great again, or they can pout and spew hate for the next four (eight?) years. Your choice.

    We'll see who fell for what.....and your total denial of what Trump said is ridiculous...it's all on video with sound so you'll never escape what you are for...did you think Trump could simply erase his campaign??? No, it's still there. But you'll call that " the left's spin"...as if it never happened....:)


    Now, why are you so nasty and defensive? You have your pass to discriminate based on gender and race, the right to enjoy bullying and teach your kids to ridicule the less fortunate and disabled, and treat women like animals........aren't you happy? Why so defensive???

    Nasty and defensive - too much Obama worship may have rotted your brain.

    But enough of this petty back and forth. Now is the time for optimism and hope and moving our country forward. Join us or fight us, it's up to you.

    Peace out.

    Your full of it. Tell one thing you think Hillary would never do to be president? Trump is not a racist, period. That's where you boys screwed yourselves big time. No matter how many people tried to tell the American people Donal Trump is a racist it just is not so. Americans seen right through the scheme. Meanwhile he DNC emails popped up,and unshockingly there are emails with high ranking DNC workers using unbelievable racial slurs from the very people that have claimed to be for minorities for the past ( how many years) with not much to be seen in minority gain. So minorities stayed home and didn't vote. But you can't accept that? Grow up.

    why were we confident? Because of where the campaigns went. Remember the best most expensive polls are conducted by the campaings themselves. Wisconsin took everyone by surprise but Michigan and PA were seen by both campaigns from a mile away.

    Why do you think the Klinton Krime Krew was in Michigan the day before and the final rally was in PA ?

    So the bully is on the playground and we must all slink away? Or goose-step together?

    No, that's not going to happen. You may not realize it but he wasn't really elected "god" or King".


    Did the Republicans all bow down and worship Obama when he was elected?
    No.

    In fact #itch McConnell said emphatically that Republican's #1 priority was to "stop Obama".

    NOT create more jobs, NOT improve the economy, NOT create affordable health care for AMERICANS, NOT help ease racial tensions... but ONLY "Stop Obama".....

    But you think Democrats should abandon their ideals and morals and follow a misogynistic, racist sociopath , throw out the democratic ideals of America and join in your worship?

    No, we don't have to and shouldn't....not if we want a democracy where all PEOPLE are treated equally....

    Lesson number 1 from this election is that whoever is in charge of a political party must use common sense and NOT NOMINATE the candidate who is one of the most corrupted U.S politicians in history (if not the most corrupted) and despised across the country. To make matters worse the particular political party rigged their own electoral process to get the candidate of their choosing. It beggars belief.

    Democrats own arrogance, stubbornness and stupidity defeated them. So instead of burning down cities, destroying public property and rioting you'd better deal with your own elites which hare directly responsible for your defeat. You need to do a thorougher house cleaning.

    I see the worst candidate to ever run for political office lost, yet your side somehow seems shocked. How could this possibly be? When to everyone else , were shocked your shocked.

    I learned how the MSM totally manipulated the Democrats by feeding them false narratives which the Democrats totally believed. No matter how many times we said they were liars, the Democrats totally believed every word. Lesson for Democrats: media had their agenda and made them look like fools. Don't be so gullible and stupid.

    Well as they did Clinton bu then there was no country wide vote for either so all one can do is guess at what a national popular vote would have resulted in, pure speculation.

    What we did learn is that money doesn't win elections.

    Exactly. Now that we'll have a President that isn't campaigning for her, and her best buddy, we'll get a REAL investigation with an AG that isn't tied to her at the hip.

    Exposing the corruption. It's about time. <Rule 3/4>

    I didn't say 63 million voted for Hillary, I said 63 million rejected Trump, which included 4 million voting for third-party candidates. My very point was that those 63 million voters could not unite behind a single candidate in opposition to Trump.

    I think arrogant is a valid criticism, maybe disrespectful, but snobbish isn't necessary. I don't know why you're making this personal with the "you" accusation. Who do you think I am? I'm no Hillary supporter, but I have been an unabashed GOP/Trump critic this election because I genuinely did not think he could win, and now that he did I think it's going to be disappointing for many and horrifying for some.

    Where did I say anything about "angry white men?" Demographically Trump killed it among older white men. This is the "tyranny of the majority" that many fear because it shows that someone can get into office by appealing almost exclusively to America's largest demographic group. Like many others, I did not think an appeal to white nationalists could possibly garner enough support, but I was wrong and that makes it a lesson learned. It's weird that you would think that makes me racist.

    What do you mean? Obama won in 2008 with 365 electoral votes and 52.9% of the popular vote; in 2012 he won with 332 electoral votes and 51.1% of the popular vote. How do you get 50% rejected him?

    Directed at me or someone else? My OP wasn't defensive, and it would be ironic to call it "nasty," but maybe you were talking about someone else.

    Agree wholeheartedly with this sentiment.

    Do not agree with this sentiment. That really is the language of tyranny.

    It makes you racist because you're automatically assuming I'd be an "angry white man", or that my anger would be because of racial grievances. No. The "anger'(if it was there), was a self-fulfilling prophecy in which we were slandered. For being none other than who we were. Now, what is that again? Oh, yes, RACISM. The Democrat's blind(and professed) belief was that somehow being racist against us. "White Privilege", etc was acceptable.

    It's the same thing with the whole "Whites, College-educated Whites. Non-educated, etc." All of this was a concentrated effort to divide us.(What they call on HuffingtonPost "identity politics." And if they think that there's going to be a forgiving period for that, then they're even more deluded about the situation than I thought.

    Slander, is not something decent people should take lightly. People achieved good deeds in their life through their effort. Not through inheritances(about 1% or so inherit wealth. Ironically, including the Pres-Elect. Lucky bastard.) And not through "privilege". Those good people had been slandered a great deal.

    And that slander, has resulted in the political climate of today. We're mad because we'd been slandered, insulted, disrespected. And it will be a hard
    pull to bring us back into the fold. Calling "half of Trump's supporters xenophobic." is another such example.

    But because they had conditioned themselves(and the general public) that our interests should be ignored as a matter of principle(since we're the "largest demographic") correlated into everything else. There's no room left for us in the party, even as there are Liberal Whites for whatever reason, you'd have to ask them.

    But me? I'm not going to join a party that insults me. Their first step is not to insult half of the country. Like it or not, we're that size.
