And let's also dispel with this myth that "Republicans like Donald Trump".... I realize we all have pretty short memories when it comes to politics, but you'll remember that of the one that voted, 65% did NOT vote for Donald Trump in the primaries. A compelling majority of us would have preferred someone else, but when faced with the choice of an unstable buffoon like Trump, or someone that at the very least, would have created an environment for more far Left Lunacy to take hold, we chose the buffoon. Think about that. That's an indictment of your side.
Quite a few "liberals" didn't want Hillary.
Bernie Sanders was the anti-establishment candidate on the "liberal" side.
Either way, the plutocracy won this election. The rest of us lost.
Just like every election, regardless of which candidate wins.
Lets put something in perspective here. There are approx. 300,000,000 citizens of this country conservatively. Hillary has about a 2,000,000 vote lead in the popular vote, but let's give her 3,000,000 just for fun. That's 1% more people that would have preferred her. That's what you call a negligible difference, and an embarrassment when you consider that Obama won the PV by 10 million in '08... Even if we just limit it to the number of people who voted, she's still only got, what, 1.5% more? Where I come from, that doesn't constitute a "much larger portion"....

In six months or less, you and everyone else will be loving Donald Trump...
The 46.6% of the country that did not vote for Trump is by the numbers. That is not an estimate, that is counted votes with more liberal areas in the West still to be counted so his percentage will likely decrease.
I understand why people are scared to be outed as Trump voters, in Seattle Trump got only 8% of the vote. He is definitely not liked there so that 8% is probably keeping very quiet.
This the problem. the Left is out of control and will attack anyone who does not swallow the cool aid. One of these some will have to defend themselves and there is goo from this. Liberals just need to wait 4 years and put their Candidate out there.
Problem for the left, most of the DNC is felons, which was expose from the McKeef Videos!
Conservatives did not fair well under the attacks of Obama and his government.
It is painful to watch the president they love hated by the other half of the country. It is easier to attack than defend. When one is on the side that dislikes the man in office, they can just sit by and insult.
Trump supporters are rejoicing now but trust me, they will grow tired of how much the president they like is disliked by over half of the country. Over half. They will grow weary of defending him. And if he privatizes Medicare and Social Security, a lot of unpleasantness will likely follow; only time will tell. For those that think they will get rich with Social Security privatization and will then have no problem affording private insurance policies at 70, Enron employees thought they would be rich too.
The electoral college may elect the president, but it doesn't negate that a much larger portion of the country did not want Trump. They are reminded daily that a small number of rural voters had more power than entire metropolitan areas. Both areas may work and pay taxes but saying those large areas have less say is not going to wear well when Trump makes those inevitable mistakes.
"It is easier to attack than defend" just as you have just done.

Well said.
Thanks to Obama, the democrook party is in the worst shape it's been in for almost a CENTURY.
And instead of learning from its mistakes, it's doubling down on them.
Keep it up, Dems.
Keep advocating open borders, reverse racism and sexism, unvetted Muslim refugees, hating on white people, giving rights to illegal aliens, excusing criminals and rioters, etc.

Criticizing Obama was a full time job the last 8 years, not much to criticize when it comes to congress since they didn't really do much.
