I for one don't want to see the Repubs running everything for a loooong time so I'm hoping some of you stop facilitating them by attacking swing voters because your brain can't wrap around the fact that hey...maybe your candidate and campaign were to blame?
Actually I'm in agreement with you on much of what you wrote. I agree that Hillary Clinton was a deeply flawed candidate (albeit less flawed than Trump), and I agree the DNC needs fresh leadership and a new approach. I think they are weak and need to be rebuilt from the ground up.

That said, the election is over. I'm no longer interested in any party trying to win votes, I'm only interested in telling the truth. And that is often obscured or distorted in this day and age of fake news.

By Monday they'll have Trump responsible for Jimmy Hoffa's disappearance.

MSNBC is now saying Trump is a Mob affiliate

Did they happen to say is that is a Step Up from being Hitler, or a Step Down?

I think they will probably get some Religious clerics together soon and proclaim that Trump is really Satan.
Annnnd - the Hysterical Meltdown continues

Wiki Leaks exposed the left. Dirtbags, all of you.
The right voted and the electorate, which is designed to protect the minority from the majority (hence popular vote isnt what we want) elected him in. And Congress approved it yesterday.
Now Mob ties. Hillary had none, BS. Bill Clinton and his Arkansas ties, no mob ties, BS.
Start paying attention and get a life and jobs liberals, you will be better off.
You sound upset.

Truer words have never been spoken.

Those chiming in from Omaha, Odessa and Okeechobee might not realize it, but your not going to get a gum wrapper moved on your job site in the greater metroplex as well as a lot of other places Trump does business without some kind of tribute being extended. How much is largely dependent on how deep the ties that bind are and we all know Trump doesn't play a nickle more than he has to.

Pretty much a domestic version of his dealings with Russia. Folks need to quit being so naive about how Trump amassed his empire.

Your statement is false, which is why you can't provide a real link. I often watch MSNBC and I saw the story about Joey No Socks, who was pictured next to President-Elect Trump at his New Year's Eve party. Nobody ever said Trump was a mob affiliate, so that's a lie. They only questioned his decision to ring in the New Year with a convicted felon with ties to the Gambino crime family. He's going to be the next POTUS. Are we supposed to ignore every story that doesn't praise and glorify Trump? I know that's the way he'd prefer it, but that's not why "Freedom of the Press" is in the Bill of Rights. If anything, the leader of our country should be under a lot more scrutiny than the rest of us, since our very lives depend on it.

By the way, this story was reported by numerous sources, not just MSNBC.

Just imagine if a Democrat did a fraction of what Trump has done since this election. Do you think the hyperventilating amongst the conservatives would put them in the hospital?

Then again I guess we should be used to facts being considered optional and of little importance when Trump's involved.
The electorate is the body of the electoral college. Then again I guess we should be used to non issues being considered important when the Obamabots are involved.

Say what you want about Trump, he's a lot better than Hillary who was the most corrupt candidate every to win a major parties nomination in the last 50 years.

Well, since the Russians hacked into both the DNC and RNC (contrary to Trump's false statement) but only released what they felt was detrimental to Clinton's campaign, we'll never really know which candidate was the most corrupt. Trump hasn't been a politician in the public eye for the past 30 years, but he certainly was involved in his share of unscrupulous business transactions.
