I didn't vote for Trump. I'm not disappointed he's winning, and may be president elect soon.

How do we know what the future holds if Trump becomes POTUS? I for one have hope. It won't be all on him. The rest of the government is accountable too. Maybe we all feel like Captain Kirk aka Trump will be taking us into uncharted territory, but why assume the future?

Big problem is that he'll nominate Scalia clones which will eliminate all restrictions on bribe money in politics that Scalia loved. This means 30 years of no influence on public policy for 99% of the population (not members of the big money donor class).

We're entering a new era of plutocracy we havent seen before if Trump gets his way.

At least Republicans will have full accountability after Trump comes in. Most governors, state legislators, the president, congress, and senate will all be controlled by Republicans. That way they can't blame minorities and political correctness for the nations problems.

I didn't vote for Obama, but once he was elected I wished him well because he was the president. He was MY president. I wanted him to succeed because if he succeeded we would all succeed. I feel the same way about Trump tonight.

You forgot to mention safeguarding the Second Amendment. Nothing more important.
Now maybe ammo prices will come down.

This has to terrify her. She no longer has a sympathetic government to protect her.

If he didn't have a republican house AND senate to work with I'd be okay. But he now has free reign for at least 2 years. Moderate republicans have effectively been neutralized. This is Trump and the Tea Party's show now.

America just gave the crazy guy a blank check.

But you'll still blame everyone but him somehow when he screws up. Probably Obama.

Well, lets see how this goes!

Democrats are the ones who have benefited from all that so-called "bribe money". And it's very hard to get over the biggest Super PAC of them all, the media. This year people got sick of the media refusing to cover real stories about Clinton corruption while throwing every bit of mud they could at Trump.

I think you have misread this election. This election proved that big donors aren't as powerful as they have been in the past. Jeb Bush spent nearly 100 million dollars and still only won about 2% of the primary. How much did Hillary spend? How many Wikileaks emails proved outright collusion between the DNC and the media? Even with all that money and media support, Hillary is probably going to lose.

Not sure I want to see her in prison, unless of course she is found guilty of crimes.

Either way, I am not going to miss her mealy mouthed ridiculous painted on smile.
