I was following one of those on election night also.........I don't recall which one but it was interesting to watch. I remember how amazed I was when it put Trump over 50%.

All I can say is that is was a good thing the media thought Hillary would win. If they suspected Trump winning they never would have had election night coverage! You can go to the MSN homepage today and no headline features Trump's electoral win yesterday: MSN.com - Hotmail, Outlook, Skype, Bing, Latest News, Photos & Videos. At least Reuters mentions it!

My God! How stupid can these liberals get? They think they are the ones that should rule this country and nobody else should be able to vote. Also, they believe this country loves Hillary and that could be farthest from the truth. The people do not love Hillary. Anyway, pucker up you have a new president and hopefully he will do good things for this country. he has a lot to overcome from the last eight.

Eight years of " Hope & Change " was enough for the ' Common Sense ' Vote

America does not need to be so dependent on Government, as they work for us

Agreed. It's on Hillary and the Democratic Party that they lost. Period.

I don't understand the repeated sentiment that women "feel fear" as a result of Trump winning. I just don't. The guy may be a serial philanderer, but what are my fellow females really thinking that produces such fear, exactly? That Donald Trump will arrive at the homes of all American women and grab them in the p*ssy? That we'll suddenly be plunged back into garment factories and forced to work for pennies while being sexually assaulted by men in the workplace? That our voting rights will be taken away? That spousal abuse will become legal once again? I am trying to understand whatever legitimate concerns there may be but I'm honestly struggling here.

To me they are behaving like the drug user, that talks their supplier into an advance because they are supposed to have money on Friday, and Friday is approaching and they still don't have any money! They talk about right wing lunatics and then they act like lunatics! It's like they are addicted to fine arts and somebody is going to pull the plug!

In complete agreement with the above, and I like how you wrote it. Thank you!

Another "agreement" with this post.

And, were these people representative of the "highly educated" that supported Hillary? Of course, "highly educated" has nothing to do with intelligence level.
