Maybe Trump needs to look out his window today..he might actually see 1000's of Muslim-Americans celebrating. Not just a figment of his imagination this time.....
How is she going act when HER finger is on the button when the camera is not on her?
Compared to the man who can be baited by a Tweet? Compared to a man who his own staff doesn't trust with Twitter? Compared to the man who Putin plans to make his puppet?
President Clinton will do just fine. She's the most qualified person to ever run for the office.
Remarkably it didn't happen. So now we sit back and wait to see how soon Trump becomes a Putin puppet, how soon he shifts the unjust risk of early death onto twenty million Americans, and how soon he becomes an international pariah. If he cedes his power to Pence, he probably can avoid the latter.
I mentioned in another thread that his biggest challenge now is appearing to his supporters that he's kept the promises they think he's made to them. That is practically impossible because he made such vague and non-specific promises. For example, the KKK sees a promise as a promise to Make America White Again, while a steelworker sees that same promise as a promise to furnish him a high paying job within a few months. As such, he's bound to fail in the eyes of one if not both. I wonder how his supporters will treat his party in the midterm elections. After failing to live up to the promises his supporters think he's made to them, not well, I suspect.
Still the damage is done. He'll solidify a regressive SCOTUS for another generation. The young people of today will wake up a decade from now wondering why we (including me, I suspect, even though I fought it as best as I could) left them a nation so beholden to such immoral values. The best we can do is plant an olive tree and hope that our great-grandchildren's children are born into a nation that has recovered the moral standing that our nation is about to lose.
He's definitely had a couple of public tantrums when there has been bad news for him in polls, and when he had to leave debates that even he knew he lost badly.
But just how bad will it be on Election Night?
I think it's 50/50 whether he even comes out in person for his Election Night event. The fact that he's already planned it as a small, "intimate" event shows that he doesn't want to be embarrassed in front of a big crowd when he loses.
now what do you have to say? Guess we will never hear or see his tantrum. You must be beside yourself after all the "Trump can't do it" threads you and a few others have started in the last 6 months.

I wouldn't be so sure. Remember, he's still got a GOP that has worked hard against him, and may have a very hard time stomaching subverting their interest in favor of his. Even if that doesn't turn out to be a problem, he'll still have the challenge of accomplishing the impossible things he consciously intended to accomplish. While he'll probably have good success delivering on the sexist, racist, xenophobic, homophobic, and Islamophobic aspects, I think he's in for a big shock when he encounters the reality that stands in the way of the economic and national security aspects. I suspect we'll still get to see the predicted Trump tantrum(s), but even more dangerously we'll see them as he is sitting in the Oval Office.

You are blabbering.
Of course he will have to learn on the job. Of course it isn't going to be easy to undo the damage done by eight years of incompetence. I am certain that blue collar Americans don't expect a high paying job to be coming their way tomorrow, unlike how some citizens expected Obama to cover their car payments and mortgages..
With any luck, our kids will once again look at our nation as one of exceptionalism. One that leads, not follows. One that has pride in its history. One that is not divided.
BTW, WTF are you talking about with the "immoral values" comment. You do realize Trump ran against Hillary Clinton, don't you?
No I'm speaking truth you don't want to hear. There's nothing worse that a sore winner.

So what you're saying is that he's going to intentionally roll us back into the Great Recession we were in when President Obama took office... that's going to be something he's going to do deliberately? Really?

I didn't say "tomorrow". If you have to lie so directly about what other people are saying, just to have something to say in response, that should be an indicator to you that you're wrong.

Why would any nation want to follow? Many nations followed while they were beaten down by world war, but what makes you think that any nation would actually care to be a subject state of another?

What portions of history, specifically, are you referring to?

You believed that nonsense? Wow. Okay well "let's see". I'm willing to give it a few months to see how well Trump makes Muslims and Puerto Ricans love him.

Yes. I do. Hillary Clinton is a good Methodist and has honored her Methodist values all her life. Meanwhile, Donald Trump admits to committing adultery and then dumping his wife for the younger woman with whom he committed adultery - twice! Beyond that, and more importantly, Trump has promised to violate every precept of the Higher Ground Moral Declaration. So he either breaks his promises (which is immoral) or he keeps his promises (which is also immoral).
