If I had known that Georgia ran open primaries, I would have voted in the Republican Primary, and picked John Kasich.

That night, well, it was more like that morning. I found out about the results the following morning. I was a asleep when Trump won. I went work that day depressed and scared. My co-workers weren't thrilled about it. However, two fellow Black male co-workers were like "it is what it is, we're not going to worry about it".

I don't get what is to like about him. Nothing has helped me one bit.
Your co-workers’ response was the normal response. That has been my response to every election where “the other candidate” won. The overreaction of people on the left, is what made this election fun, but it is ultimately bad for the country.

It wasn't fun to watch. I am someone who doesn't like clown shows. I didn't like either of the two main candidates running. I look at it like this. Some of the things Trump has said and things he has supported, it actually scares me, and it scared others. I had to wonder how my life would be impacted by Trump being President. At the time, I figured my co-workers would be concerned about the things Trump might do. They didn't seem worried.

And I remember the day Obama became President. Facebook became a site of histrionics. Second time around it took place. Ole Miss got crazy.

What Clinton supports should scare you more.

I'm glad Clinton lost, but I'll regret that she didn't win if Trump gets a second term.

I'm voting Trump again in 2020, but it depends on who they put up against Trump. If they put up someone like Hillary again, Trump will be around 4 more years.

If we’re even around in 2020. Trump will likely destroy the world with his reckless decisions before then.

Yeah, dropping out of the Paris Climate Deal, Deportations nearly doubling, vetting processes for people from known countries of terrorism, keystone pipeline coming back, yeah, we are so screwed for 2020.

I know, right?

I don't understand the doom and gloom predictions promoted by the left to use fear mongering to keep people afraid to go out and enjoy life.
Trump isn't perfect, and the establishment works tirelessly 24/7 to ensure another non-politician is elected despite that is exactly what is needed. He's tackling a tough job and learning many things as he goes along. That being said, I believe the Trump we'll see in 2020 will be different than the one we have known since 2015.
