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.

On November 8, 2016, the winner of the presidential election was...

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...

There's a sucker born every minute. As any good business man (like Trump) knows.

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.


Lois Learner any one?

When all is said and done, it comes down to the following:

Libs and Democrooks: you had your little flutter and you lost.

That's the way it goes sometimes.

But continue with your temper tantrums.

I find them most amusing.

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.

I'm loving it!

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.
