Others disagree.
Why didn't you vote for Trump?

I beg to differ... Eisenhower developed the highway system all across the country. This system has been a huge boon to our economy, as well as making it easier for travelers all through the years.

Would that we could have Eisenhower back. Look how far this country has descended into the muck since then. And now we have the con man, know-nothing, and nonstop liar Trump - our very own national horror show.

I'm an Anyone But Hillary person. I don't live in a swing state. I live in Texas. I could decide to vote for someone else, or not vote for POTUS. Doesn't matter, Trump was still going to win in Texas. Did I hope someone else would get the nomination? Sure. Perhaps mostly, my grandfather looked for certain things in a POTUS...'traditional presidential bearing', etc. where Trump isn't necessarily a 'good fit'. Some other reasons as well. IF iI lived in a swing state?????? I don't know. I honestly don't know if I could have 'pulled the lever' for Trump or not. No matter my location, I would never vote for Hillary for any elected office. I won't breathe a sigh of relief until the envelopes from the electors are opened this coming Friday (the Constitution is silent about who is considered the PEOTUS and who is considered the VPEOTUS during this period between the electors casting their votes and the 'elector envelopes' being opened and counted). Once those envelopes have been opened, and those votes have been counted, the 'POTUS line of succession' is the same as after the inauguration (at least re POTUS and VPOTUS). I'm probably being paranoid, but to me the chance of Hillary becoming POTUS re this cycle won't be absolute zero until that moment. After that moment, Trump will have 100% delivered re the one thing I cared about...making sure Hillary didn't get elected POTUS in 2016. I must admit, I don't like the idea of Jared and Ivanka having offices in the West Wing. I didn't like it with Hillary, and the same goes for the spouse/child/in-law of any other POTUS....not just Bill.

It's going to be a long two years at least for you. Would you be any more comfortable with Pence as POTUS?

Just checking if I have the narrative correct.
Of course they are, that's just another law that wasn't enforced by Obamas "justice" department. I have absolutely no problem with businesses who knowingly hire illegals being prosecuted along with illegals being jailed and/or deported.

^^^^Well said, RMESMH!

Hopefully, it will be a long 4 (hopefully!) 8 years for her

Good question re: Pence. All these anti-Trumps haven't thought that one through

Reduce taxes on me to pay for benefits for which I will be ineligible.

Stop outsourcing of jobs, including ending H1B visas, and bring back jobs to America. It's ludicrous when manufacturing and engineering tasks are performed (badly) overseas.

Get rid of all illegals and secure the border with Mexico. (You can't run a country when 1 in 12 workers is not legally authorized to work here. Even Mexico recognizes that. Try actually buying a piece of land in Mexico and see what the amount of bureaucracy you have to crawl through.)

Stop the intrusion of the social justice warriors, liberal arts, financial paper shuffling in everything and recognize the value of blue collar skilled work, physical sciences, medicine, and engineering.
