Get a grip we still have one of the fairest elections in the free world, even with voter suppression/voter fraud it does not tilt elections, more than half the nation didn't' even vote . Other countries really do have rigged elections unlike what Trump and his supporters tried to spread. In those countries the moment you pull out a picket sign to protest you get shot or put in jail without question. Just be happy you live here and move on.

Yep. The Dems and Obama ran roughshod over the minority while people warned that changing rules and sweeping executive orders could come back to haunt them. They laughed. And now Republicans control evrything and very little decorum is left. The Rs can do whatever they want if they decide to follow the lead set by the Dems these last 8 years.

I didn't say there was. I said IF there was no Electoral College - in other words, if the election was actually determined by the popular vote - she still wouldn't have won without a runoff or other system. With a popular vote, there must be a majority to determine the winner.

Liberalism just doesn’t work in the real world. Advocating ideas that make people’s lives worse, they fall apart at the first touch of reality (example, Obamacare), and that rely on a government that’s inevitably slow, stupid, and ineffective, it’s not going to be conducive to your happiness.

Liberal policies are candy-coated and may appear appealing at first, but inevitably do a lot of damage to everyone impacted by them. The better you understand the world and human nature, the easier life is going to be for you.

If you spend your whole life trying to slam a square peg into a round hole, it’s not likely to lead to contentment.

Although two weeks have lapsed, I am still really disappointed about the election results.
Yep, how 'bout that big blue wall, eh?

Enjoy the next four years. I'm going to.

If you can manage to not set yourself ablaze, or jump from a tall place, you just might see the pendulum swing back in a position more favorable to you.

You may even figure out that pendulum swing has little to nothing to do with politics.......


Go have a great day. Life is too short as it is.

The liberal compares America to utopia and finds it terribly wanting. Conservatives and others compare America to every other civilization that has ever existed and walks around wondering how he got so lucky as to be born or naturalized an American.

Oh... OK - sorry for the misunderstanding.

Hillary has herself to blame. She never visited Wisconsin after the convention. By many accounts, Bill tried to warn that those exact votes you describe above were a vulnerability that needed to be tended to, but he was ignored. It seems Hillary followed what her handlers put forth rather than the advice of her own husband who is the most popular politician of his generation.

Good. Serves 'em right. They wouldn't listen and now they get to stew in their own rancid juices.

Rust belt whites let down a lot of old women who wanted to see a female president before their last breath ��
