If Trump turns out to be even an adequate president then our whole system is flawed and over 200 years of leadership has been a bit of over kill. If a person; without the faintest hint of knowledge about constitutional law, no legislative experience, no experience holding elected office, or anything that would be a substitute for political experience can run the United States then we're back to square one.

A Trump presidency is the result of a cult of personality, anyone can be president now. Maybe, Howard Stern, Oprah or Shaq could run and win. I would think quite a few popular people who are smarter and more well liked than Trump are contemplating being president. So hopefully for the good of our nation Trump will be terrible and entertainers, celebrities, and pop stars will forget about having their turn as president of the United States.

Yea, like we found out about Hillary,... did you know it was because of a video? The server and 30,000 emails which were deleted. The media chose to give Hillary a pass no matter what the abuse and evidence and Obama supporters complied with their marching orders.

What is up lately with this deleted email fascination the right wing has? You guys missed the big one during the Bush Cheney years.
The George W. Bush White House

And the Bush administration failed to store its emails, as required by law, and then refused to comply with a congressional subpoena seeking some of those emails

The left said there was no law requiring storing of emails.. which is it?

In 4 years, the climate will be the same. It takes a long time for a warm period or an ice age to happen.

You have already seen this at the state level with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jesse Ventura, they didn't work out too well, we will see how this celebrity turns out. I'm pulling for either Lady Gaga or Kanye West in 2020

No matter what anyone thinks, or believe they know, Hillary was by far the most qualified candidate. A man with the same credentials would be the president elect; not some rich, spoiled kid that tweets like a kid that should be in school. Scary, very scary.

Maybe, while we are at it; the president and commander in chief positions should be two different jobs. I think Trump may be an average president and America, may able to overcome his one sided, closed minded views. However; as commander in chief, he falls flat.
DAMMIT!! The United States of America is NOT, and never has been, a DEMOCRACY!
As often as that has been pointed out in the last 90 days, one would think that even the stupidest person in the country would be aware of it by now.
The Founders of this country hated and feared "democracy". They did not create one. they created a Constitutional Representative Republic.

Are you saying that only lawyers with knowledge of Constitutional law are qualified to be president? Because that's what it sounds like.

Obviously, you have no knowledge of the Constitution, because the Constitution lists the qualifications for President, and that isn't one of them.

>>>> You described Obama exactly as you described Trump. So I guess we're stuck with both parties running boobs that only get elected because they beat even bigger boobs. Or because they get picked by the powers that be which is the more likely.

Default We'll probably never know the truth about this election and Trump's victory

We know the truth, Trump won, end of story. Americans first.
