You are just sad and bitter that the election did not end out the way you wanted. And the social services you are sapping will probably get cut!

I'll agree with this. The Wikileaks emails from the DNC proved they rigged the primary. Perhaps next time the establishment candidates will learn they shouldn't alienate and further anger the energized voter base that gets them elected.

Some were so angry after that they said they'd vote for Trump. Some I had to talk down and give them other options in third party candidates such as Jill Stein and Gary Johnson. Some wouldn't look at or read the Wikileaks emails and stayed in their little bubble and went to support Hillary Clinton. Even though she was proved to be a cheater and that the DNC schemed to rig the primary. Besides the emails flat out stating they didn't think much of those "annoying Sanders supports' and then acting like who need them by pandering to republicans. The real slap in the face was hiring Debbie Wasserman Schultz after she resigned as DNC chair. They weren't even trying to hide what they did or show remorse. They thought they could do it and get away with it even though they were caught.

To see all that and then have the private server emails investigated by the FBI with 30,000 of them deleted on top of that made people feel she was more corrupt than Trump. When she was Secretary she had her people destroy 18 devices with a hammer which included several computer hard drives and blackberry phones. With that kind of cover up and to say she innocently didn't know what she was doing looked disingenuous. One wonders what else where they hiding?

I guess people figured that a bully and liar whose lieing and cheating was all out in the open in your face 'take me as I am' was better than a two faced liar and a cheater who still had things to hide. We all learned that cheaters never win. The joker wins.

Yep. Them fools have yet to learn the truth. Those jobs re NEVER coming back to the US. Hell, they're even using robots more and more in Chinese factories now. Manual labor is redundant everywhere.

But Trump, as he said, loves the uneducated people. That's why they elected him.

But let's see if they still love him when he and the GOP repeal ObamaCare and they can't get health insurance for pre-existing conditions, or for their college-age kids, or even get any health insurance at all.

Let's see if they still love him when he starts trade wars with Europe and Asia that end up with high tariffs raising the prices of damn near everything they buy sky high.

Let's see if they still love him when his Supreme Court Justices overturn Roe v Wade and their daughters who got knocked up are forced to have babies they don't want.

Let's see if they still love him after their neighborhoods turn into empty holes-in-the-ground when he gets around to deporting millions of illegal immigrants instead of devising a path to citizenship that would yield millions of law-abiding, tax-paying Americans -- as most immigrants are anyway.

The America Trump voters want is NEVER coming back. The uneducated people just don't know it yet.

But I still think a better American is ahead. Even with a four-year delay.

Though they stand to gain most of the benefits which are still subject to negotiations, there were a few notable benefits to middle class working families in his tax proposal. In particular the marriage penalty is gone, AMT gone, slightly lower tax rates, and a biggy for those with children under 13 since he'll allow a full deduction of childcare cost limited to the average cost for the residing state. These savings can run into the tens of thousands for middle class families.

Basically she lost because she could not come up with good campaign slogans or connect to the public like Trump. Why was that? She did not want to risk offending her corporate sponsors. Trump was free to say whatever he wanted (though he clearly had some racist stuff, some of it very horrible) and he won, plain and simple.

This year both the Bushes and the Clintons were ENDED.
Trump is older then her and there are many politicans that are working that are older then her... so why would she have to retire?

Exactly. In fact, there are currently 30 US senators who are 69 years old or older. And 8 of them are over 80.
