Liberals, SJWs, and all the looneys in the left created a lot of new Republicans.

Which was not even a plurality on election day.

The fastest growing Political Party is NO Party Affiliation. Maybe Trump is creating more Independents?

Anyone that takes ANY politicians word for something is a fool.

We'll have to see how Trump actually does, how the economy is doing etc.

Trump is a brash, unpolished liar. Hillary is a smooth, experienced polished liar. Honestly, which is worse? At least Trumps crap is easier to spot lol.

I think that was a rare bi-partisan effort given the choice between him and Hillary.

A lot of democrats and republicans felt abandoned by their party so much so that Trump played the outsider card all the way to the oval office.

I generally agree. The far left shift of the national Democrats on social issues is the main reason why the GOP is doing so well when demographic change should be sending them out to pasture. I still support most Democrat positions but can no longer vote for national Democrats. I voted Gary Johnson and local Democrats. Hillary represented the SJWs and Wall Street Liberals that I think ruined my party.

The mainstream media have given up trying to appeal to the public, and are on a suicidal bender.
They were instrumental in MAGA by helping Trump via their DNC/HRC bias.

Wrong. It was a plurality of EC votes. News Flash: That is what elects POTUS for centuries on end now.

They just live in a bubble where everyone has the exact same politcal opinions as them so they thinks everyone else in the country has those opinions. What I find distributing is how down right hateful and disrespectful CNN is becoming towards Conservatives. They are also extremely disrespectful to the Administration. Can you imagine the melt down which would have occurred if someone from FOX spoke to a Female Obama Aide the way that Anderson Copper spoke to Kellyann Conway?
