He gives the Democrats a good reason to get in gear for the next election. That's about all I've got. *shrug*

He exposed which Republicans (both public politicians and in personal life) I can respect for thinking for themselves, capable of digging into their conscience, and standing up for their convictions rather than falling along party lines like sheep.

He seems to want to really invest in our nation's infrastructure, unlike some of his fellow Republicans.

Oh I expect that the Dems will do everything in their power to get in the way. It's just how the R's and D's do things.

  • She would have lorded over the party like a giant sucking maw of darkness.
  • Anyone daring to seek public office would have to present themselves before her, give offerings of money, loyalty, and submission, kiss her ring, and then wait for her approval.

The Democrats should be dancing in the streets, din dong the witch is dead. They should be grateful that Trump won, he set them free.
You forgot the part about Chelsea being "next by divine monarchical right."

Let's all just agree. No more Bushes. No more Clintons.

Agreed. The Presidency is bigger than any one human. I absolutely detest almost everything he stands for, but early evididence is that he's taking the job seriously, and the gravity of the job is not lost on him. He'll make some policy decisions that I absolutely hate, but he will also have some good points too.

As another said, he ended the Bush and the Clinton dynasties, that's good.
He seems to be reasonable with his approach to ACA (keeping the pre-existing condition clause)
I think he's starting to separate election rhetoric (sadly needed to win) from reality.

I doubt I'll be singing his praises, but I am reasonably hopeful that the world won't come to an end, and that we'll find ways to grow as a nation.

I do hope that EVERYONE from both sides will reflect on what this election really meant. As someone who has mostly voted Dem all my life, I certainly have. I'll be a changed person as a result of this election and the outcome. It's up to me to make that a positive thing, to maintain my values, and (at the same time) to be flexible and open minded enough to accept the results and what will come from them.

Are you?

If you are anti-Roe v Wade then the answer is yes
if you support a ban on Muslims, the answer is yes
if you are against equal marriage rights for LGBT, then the answer is yes

Me, i don't really care what someone else does, who they pray to, or if they pray at all. It's a private matter, and it should be kept that way. Choosing to keep ALL religious activity out of publicly funded activity is how it should be. I'm not offended by others beliefs. I do find it offensive if they should start taking over school and other activities, and force me to choose between joining in, or being left out. (I don't want to be forced to sit by or join in if the prayer is to Allah, Jesus, God, Budha, or anyone else. It's a private matter.)
