Yes! "I resign."

I'm not a "leftist" either. I would like him to leave office and let someone (I don't actually care from which party, because I'm not a member of any) who understands the job take over.

Nope. It is true that I have never liked Trump (he's a loathsome individual), I really don't care that Clinton didn't win.

Granted, I am not a "leftist" or a "lefty," but I am fairly liberal.

I don't think too many people (except Clinton's biggest fans, maybe) care about who didn't win. Just who did and how unfit he is for office.

I bet they would still be outraged. They would scream about Trump abandoning America, and he needs to finish what he started. Then they would make up a bunch of anonymous sources claiming he resigned because he knew he was about to be impeached or indicted, and how we need to start a criminal investigation into Trump and everyone he's ever met.

I realize that you need to believe this in order to justify your choices. But Hillary does not have a cult of personality and she was something of a compromise, a centrist.

Her heart was in the right place, she does care about people but she is so much like a liberal Republican from the 60's and 70's that she failed to generate a high level of enthusiasm among the ordinary people in her party.

It appears that some Trump supporters have a hard time understanding that, because I have seen this claim before. Politics is not a team sport, but you people seem to be confused about that.

I have been voting since the early 70's, and I very often backed candidates which lost, but we always were able to get behind the new president. That is what the 'pivot' is all about. A president realizes he represents the needs and aspirations of all Americans and tries to be fair and accommodating and engages in consensus building. This is why in normal presidencies the approval rating swings quite a bit over time, we expect that.

This president is incapable of doing any of that, he sees a country of winners and losers and the losers can just suck it up. Beyond that he is corrupt and morally deficient, at some level everyone is aware of that. He is 'in the pocket' of some one, or a cabal of interests, and he is selling out our great country.

We see that a man who barely squeaked by and captured the white house with the support of many working class Americans is engaging in economic policies which hurts them deeply, yet they refuse to acknowledge it. I think it is mis-placed pride.

Hardly. Pence would follow the same policies.

I think there would be a lot of celebrating.

You get high marks for imagination.
