I hope and almost pray that President Trump turns out to be the first president in modern US history to be a better president than anyone expects. Can miracles happen?
===============

I truly hope the same thing. I believed in the "movement," if you will... but I hope he lives up to all the hope we have in his ability to be an agent of change. I wish him the best. It won't be easy. But I truly hope he can be the man we want/need him to be.

pc is going down the tubes...

Our new president will teach us a new language.

Sometime this week, there will be a gloat thread. Here is a Taste:
Why Trump’s concession speech would be like no other in U.S. history

Your lips, to god's ears. I hope things calm down for the next few weeks so we can all catch a breath.

Doubt it. His naughty words are old grey pubed crap.

I'm a hideous democratic socialist.

Red states will now lead mother webster to the promised land...

My penis grew by 25% in length when Trump won Wisconsin.

Pot looks like it passes. We can smoke our way through the next four years I suppose. FUUuuuuuu ....hhhh ...

Hooked up with a hottie that works at a dispensary last weekend. She told me she hopes recreational doesn't pass in CA because:

- It'll be taxed heavily and all the money goes to one billionaire
- Under age 21 first time caught in possession is mandatory 6 months jail time
- They'll have to quit selling all derived products. Only buds, no edibles - to protect kids

just any guy says

Imagine all the votes for Johnson that were taken away from Trump and not Hillary.

Here, here

I filled out the whole ballot

Even flipped it over to vote no to keep judges around five more years of senility

I sat there a minute and looked at the Pence part, and was like I can't do it. Almost wrote in Bernie but went with cannabis Johnson vote instead

Trump is VERY close to winning Iowa, New Hampshire, WISCONSIN and Arizona.

That would do it, even if he were to lose Michigan & Pennsylvania (and Trump is close even in Pennsylvania).

Hillary is being prepped to make a concession speech as I write this.

I was waiting for the had great boobs?

Come on Tdove. It's the new America. Even I get to say shit like that now. ;)

No worries. I had it coming. It's the risk one takes.

One point out in PA with 20% left. Could happen.

Why Trump won. Seth Myers demonstrates why.

Instead of listening to the Bernie or Bust voters, especially all the independent and swing voters, the Democrats just expected that anyone who isn't a die-hard conservative would automatically vote for Hillary out of fear of a Trump presidency. That assumption proved wrong. If the fear of Trump wasn't enough to get primary voters, die-hard Democrats, to vote for Bernie, the candidate guaranteed to beat Trump, then why would that fear persuade independent and swing voters?

The DNC's tactic of fear has utterly failed. Now the Democrats and all mainstream media and Hollywood have to acknowledge that you cannot shame or scare voters into voting how you want them to. You actually have to listen to the people who say, "Hey, we want to vote for a Democrat, but we cannot vote for Hillary. Give us another choice or lose the election.". Those people are being honest, and if you ignore them then you don't get their votes. Learn.

They won't.

Is this in the bag yet?

We're not prematurely celebrating are we

Very lady like doll. Salute.

Judy Woodruff on PBS has had her patented look of grave concern on her face since 6pm PST. She just cannot fathom that people would not automatically vote for a woman, even as the woman in question, and her political machine, aided by scores of really dumb single-gender voters, shunted aside Bernie Sanders, who was the only hope we had.

This is done. T-rump.

Dan8267 says

Any reasonable candidate would have beaten Trump.

So true. A little sour grapes sounding ... but fuck ... gaff monster Biden would have trounced him.

I blame the butthurt neckbeard losers in their mommys basements

Where's AF? Out buying a Gatling gun for when Trump institutes the Purge?

This is done. T-rump.

I'm not sure that's true. She could win if she wins every other remaining state. Take another sip.

They voted Trump! Yes. I blame them too. :)

Comey came through!
Secretary of Defense reward for him!

The ammo prop passed in CA ... so that is exactly right!

Libbies had to jump on the "first" bandwagon with the rookie Obama.
After drinking that nectar they couldn't resist coming back for more "first"...

I wonder what the Guardian is saying, those sell outs of the working class.

Be nice Thunder, be nice, enjoy the victory. Have more Jack.

Turd sandwich. It's what's for dinner.

Rew says

Definitely. And I would have voted for Biden. He's actually a good guy, great at reaching compromises, and has good policies. He didn't run because Hillary was next in line. And that's the problem with both parties. They act like they are royalty and the throne passes in a predetermined order. Trump is like some pretender to the throne who ousted the rightful heir to the Republican throne, Jeb Bush.

So true. A little sour grapes sounding ... but fuck ... gaff monster Biden would have trounced him.

What about the DNC? Why didn't they go with Bernie?.... and stand a chance, maybe? The movement for Trump wasn't exactly dissimilar to the movement for Bernie. We all know the DNC personally selected Hillary. It was clearly the wrong bet. Even Trump may beat her (I'm still giving her the possibility of sweeping every remaining state).

Japan (Nikkei 225) is down 5.35%, sp500 futures down 4.95%, nasdaq100 futures down 5.35%, oil futures at $43.34 (-3.65%)

Damn it. I was thinking about selling stock today, but then I was so sure Hillary would win that I decided to wait for the inevitable Hillary rally tomorrow. Bad mistake.

I sense a great disturbance in the butt-hurt, as if millions of Hillary supporters suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

The lox licking wasserman shultz had a caper OD and rigged the primary.
