Technically, I suppose you are right. Warren Harding and James Buchanan are considered the two worst Presidents.

You need to read this .. seriously

Political Correctness' is Totalitarian Mind Control.... At its core, then, political correctness is nothing more nor less than the unjust intimidation of others into thinking and speaking a certain way. As such, it is pure totalitarian mind control.

His behavior projects he'll be the whiniest POTUS in history who runs to Tweet at the slightest provocation of a meaningless, minor criticism. Not a good quality for a man who chose to place himself on the biggest public stage in the world.

I'll wait until I see what he actually does.

My expectations are low, but as I've said before, I hope I'm embarrassed for not voting for him.

All this hoopla reminds me of the hype everyone had for Johnny Manziel (football player), who then went on to disappoint in a huge way.

I'd prefer low expectations and then joy if we're surprised - in the same way most people (but not I) viewed the Dallas Cowboys picking up Zeke Elliott, who was the fourth pick in the first round of the draft.

It's smarter to be cautiously optimistic, at best.

The cheerleaders are gonna have a lot of crow to eat if they're wrong.

We've seen the party system stood on it's head, the Republicans now the workingman's friend while the old party of the workingman adheres itself to their new constituency the economically marginalized.

As for the clickbait declaration of Trump becoming the best ever president, we can easily see the new journalism rising, celebrating their own success with more inane crap surfacing as news. Donald Trump's victory signals the arrival of one very significant, inescapable, truth, and that is the fact of our two party political system's demise. Both parties have failed America miserably, yes, among all the sports fan brand of celebratory hoopla, we've seen our two party political system dissolving into a three ring circus where entertainers and people of dubious character, are elevated to the top leadership roles.

The worst of all of this lies in the fact of both parties smashing their competitors, stooping to the lowest behavior in order to commandeer their position, the bellicose Trump shouting through his trousers, talking nonsense while being cheered on by the nonsensical. Clinton being cheered by her loyal fans, the other half of the nonsensical hopefuls. I know there must be others who have seen through this charade of democracy, when THEY pick the candidates, and THEY squelch the competition, the question arises---Are we being served by the two parties? Meet the new boss..
The fact is, even with a liberal media throwing everything they could at Trump, even with Hollywood liberals dancing and singing, one, Madonna, even offering a BJ of you vote for Hillary, Trump still won and Democrats lost more seats in government in modern history.

And if giving Trump a chance yeilds accusations such as yours, so be it. Trump is president elect and I'm going to give him a chance.

All these angry posts by the progressive left are nothing but the death throes of a dying animal.

Default The best

No doubt, even the Liberals will have no use for their crayons and bubbles in a year from now.

Like most of us here I'm very familiar with your points of view, knuckles bleeding from your beating on Obama will now be healed by the arrival of your new messiah, your new hopey changy guy who just loves people such as yourself. A man who when told of your plight regarding Obamacare will get that fixed first thing, I'll be watching on the sidelines as the circus of the new savior passes by. A big thank you for the periodic humor, and---you won't have to "give him a chance," he's right where he wanted to be and you no longer count for much. Hope and change, where have I heard that before..............

It's depressing. I was hoping to find some fact base good reason to support him, but I haven't found anything yet but empty promises and a fine snake oil salesman. No one is all good and no one is all bad, but so far all I've read about him is bad. I'll keep looking. Sigh. I'm sure I can find something good if I dig way down to the bottom of that barrel.
