Just b/c the opposing party says that, doesn't mean its true you know?

What about the great wall of china?

People say things to deter, think for yourself?

I'm sure, Trump won't do anything to cause "many people to lose their health insureance", personally Obamacare has been a disaster and doctors will tell you that.

You are parroting the fears that the opposing party has instilled in you.
Doesn't take a whole lot of reading to understand why Trump's wall is all but impossible, and you don't need to learn this from "the opposing party." As explained before, besides the physical issues, there is the more significant problem/issue related to the fact that Mexico is a real ally of ours, sharing our border just to the south -- peacefully -- a significant trading partner as well, source of needed labor that Americans have arranged and paid for to pick our vegetables, wash our dishes, clean our hotel rooms and houses, do construction, landscaping..., American citizens and American businesses large and small, Hispanics only to be called criminals by Trump and his band of uneducated white males. These are the people who "instill fear in me!" Along with a few other uncomfortable emotions...

The people Hillary called "dumb", "uneducated", "deplorable", "unredeemable", "racist", "xenophobic", etc. Americans who "live in their parents' basement".

One could argue it's for the common good but it was a **** poor solution that anyone with a head for numbers would have seen as a looming disaster. The answer isn't to simply repeal it but we need a better solution.

As a legal immigrant who became a citizen, who has a graduate degree and who is close to the top 1% through hard work and not hedge fund money I took offense to her remark...and voted accordingly.

Well, considering who just won president, those adjectives accurately fit.

you shouldn't be embarrassed to be an American today - you should be proud to be an American.

No... they don't. Those fit more for those who blindly wanted to follow another liberal that was bent on continuing failed policies (or worsening them) without actually trying to stand up for the majority who didn't want them. It didn't work and she failed. No sense in being all tore up about it now. Obviously more people didn't want the "change" she proposed. When failed policy doesn't work you have to stop trying to use it at some point.




Tell me this.... what specifically did Hillary or Obama do for you that was so great you were willing to continue to follow them no matter what?

Actually, I think the American public woke up and realized what BOTH parties have been doing and that's why Trump won.
He's pretty much the anti-GOP/DEM candidate as both parties hate and/or are scared of him...
