Regardless of who's in, I hope for something resembling progress for the entire nation and getting things actually accomplished instead of eight years of partisanship and bickering with nothing positive for the American people coming out of it.
Hope is nice, reality is that bubbles come and go regardless of who is in office, they are often the result of action and policy from previous administrations. These things don't happen over night, but its best to have them come quickly so you can work your way through them.

I'd hate to see anything bad happen to the nation under any president.

If things fall apart with Russia, China or the Middle East, it'll be interesting if she tries to blame the problems on the previous administration after she spent so many years as Secretary of State. If the economy tanks, it'll be hard to pin the blame on George W. Bush after 8 years of a Democratic president, but I'm sure she'd try.

The crash is coming regardless... people will blame whoever holds the reigns at the time. Sad but true.

Better that it be liberals in the middle of a 12 year run of power.

Sadly they will try to figure out a way to pin it on "right wing conspiracy theories" or "obstructionism" because it could never be their own failed policies at work.

You really believe that? The woman blamed her embarrassing speech statements on Abe Lincoln.

So you're willing to cut off your nose to spite your face, huh? Because if it all tanks, you're going down too.

Geez, Trump hasn't even lost yet (though he surely will), and you guys are already acting like sore losers. LMAO

I can hear an old co-worker (Obama supporter) in my head right now....

"I like Obama! My 401k looks great! Duuuurr... national debt? What's national debt? We're not paying more in taxes for his policies are we? Duuuurr..."

Better to live in reality than fantasy.

I am just trying to find a bright spot. :P

Again, why do poor Americans hate themselves. You would rather see the economy collapse and you and your family's fortunes go down than see us succeed. Weird!
