The NY Times never "said Hillary would win". Link to such an article or you're lying.
When you link to the NTY- YOU ARE LYING- take that!

There seems to be a trend: when challenged to produce evidence, double down on the name-calling.

I really hope this is satire. Your cult leader Trump reads NY Times every day and calls them for exclusive interviews all the time, so better tell him it's all fake.

Better tell the rest of the planet too, as NY Times has won more Pulitzers than any other media source on the planet, and is basically the most respected English-language newspaper on the planet.
You'll have to forgive the poor dear. He hasn't gotten his instructions from his blog crew yet

I have noticed a change. For a lot of people I know, a week now feels more like a month, and a month feels more like a year.

Trump's enduring presence- his complete domination of our news media- has made that happen. Even the guys who voted for him now want some relief from him in their face every day.

I don't think that weariness will be relieved by Trump. But the voters may be able to shut him up if they remove his hangarounds.

The problem here is the complete lack of either substance or character in the Trump administration. They don't accomplish anything but manage to look bad in the process. Tolerance for such failure and depravity will not run deep.

Governor's and mayor's offices, as well as county positions, went to democratic candidates. The Washington State Legislature is now completely controlled by democrats, as are those of the other two West Coast states.

The voters in suburban areas, which had fairly low turnouts in 2016, came out in large numbers, to overthrow those linked to Trump. This is not a brief flash of resistance, but the start of a major re-taking of territory. A hard lesson was learned, but it doesn't look like voter apathy will allow anyone to weasel into office by default, in the future.

There is a reason they call it "the Left coast."

The Leftists are grasping at straws, while their Party is being destroyed from within. Notice how they are trashing their own now, throwing Donna Brazile under the bus after her book came out.

Why would anyone want to read any article by the New York Times? They have never been friendly toward Republicans, and they lie.

"Progressivism" is Marxist-socialism, which is "collectivism," just as communism is. There's not a lot of difference.

The fact is that Donald Trump represents a return to Constitutional government. The Democrats still trash the Constitution, and are Marxist-socialists. There is noting that Donald Trump has done that deserves the thrashing the Left has been giving him. They just don't like that a globalist didn't win, and that one who puts America first has won. That is a welcome change from the Apologist-in-Chief, Barack Obama, who bowed to dictators and went around the world apologizing for America, reducing our stature in the world, dismantling our military, while at the same time constraining them with ridiculous "rules of engagement," and making military training a politically correct sort of kindergarten, even removing words and phrases from training manuals that might be deemed "offensive" to our enemies.

Obama's America is over. Trump is for America, the American people, and for our Constitutional principles. You may not like his style, but he is turning out to be a Giant in the world, and will bring back America's strength and military superiority, and he will support all of our allies (Obama's treatment of Israel was disgusting). He will also not coddle dictators, as Obama did.

Peace comes through strength, not from a limp wristed, effeminate "community organizer."
