What would Trump fans do? Clearly, they would say the system is rigged, the Electoral College must be abolished, and that they must commit mass suicide as directed by their Dear Leader. Amen.

Looks like this happened, except switch the sides.

We need to find more of these threads and bring up these types of topics in person as well. Everyone keep predicting the future, thinks they are so smart, and when they are wrong, enough time has passed that they completely forgot.

Is it me or have Democrats talking points not changed even after the election?

For lots of folks like myself (didn't vote for Trump or Hillary) there is a feeling of "Ugh, look what happened" while there is a parallel thought of "Oh, well at least THAT didn't happen" it was a no win situation nomatter how you slice it.

Study history to find out why.
Experience is the best life lesson, don't you think?

Let this lesson be etched into the brain of those confused on this situation, the Popular Vote makes a nice little consolation trophy.

Trump's (and the Trunpsters') flaming aside, it's not the better-educated conservatives who are abandoning rational dialogue. But some of the more militant Lefties seem ready to kick the chessboard over if they don't get their way.

As Clint Eastwood's "drifter" persona once said to a rattlesnake: "Keep singin', partner".
Keep singin' partner.

Looks like we got us a partner den up in here.

Their goal is nothing less than a marginalization of all among the electorate who understand the need for open markets, in order to create a one-party Socialist state along the lines of Mexico's Institutional Revolutionary (oxymoron?) Party (PRI).

And that prospect scares me far more than a few tantrums when Trump learns things won't run quite as smoothly as he expected. Both Trump and the Clintons are power-obsessed, but the latter are far more attuned to the use (and abuse) of the levers of power.
Interesting insight.

There's a lot of smoke and mirrors coming from within our own government now driven by the ridiculously effective manufactured news put out by the msm, but Trump methodically gets things done to improve our messed up country and the world at large.

God knows what the Clintons would have done by now, with all these "resistors" at their side... Thus why America voted as we did.

Oh, I just voted... Both one and two.

Why so few votes on this poll?

Because snowflakes could not possibly wrap their minds around Trump winning the Electoral College, and thus the Presidency.

Actually, they're still mumbling and stumbling around in that state right now! Can we get them a therapy puppy?

They're gonna need a therapy Saint Bernard when this Impeachment Fantasy falls through.

guess you got that one wrong: no, we aren't at war, thank God, but he certainly is not being regulated by anyone or anything. He has proven to be interesting and a person that think for himself and says what he thinks, for better or worse.
