Love the Trump the man's man .. to heck with all that pomp and circumstance.. lets get down to the real business of running this country. DRAIN THE SWAMP!
Why in God's name are you people still saying that?! It makes NO SENSE anymore. None.
I never said it was a landslide. But it's not "barely" nor is that "slim". National votes are not what matters, and libs knew that before the election. They were all talking about the electoral votes and how Hillary was going to have over 300, gloating about a "landslide". Truth seems to hurt some liberals...not that I care.
No, I said Trump likes to call it a landslide, when his victory is actually at the bottom of the pile in terms of EC votes won. To transpose his victory onto an easier to understand scale of 100, with 1 being George Washington winning 100% of the EC votes and 100 being last place, the very bottom of the barrel , Trump would rank 79th.
And when you consider that about 100,000 votes combined in 3 states has Clinton winning, it is pretty slim by some margins. And please note that these margins are STATE popular vote numbers, so they do count in terms of deciding EC votes, and 100,000 swung the election to Trump.
He is legit, but it was actually close. When removing an average of 33,000 votes or so from each of 3 states from one candidate would change the outcome, thats a close call.
I'm still okay with my vote. I am loving his cabinet picks from what I hear at the confirmation hearings. These guys are awesome. I am so psyched !
Is he unorthodox ? Totally. Do I think he will try and do the right thing for the country ? Absolutely. Will he ever get any credit for trying ? No. Never.
I never liked Clinton and liked Trump's F-You attitude. But I always thought he would start to act more presidential after he was elected president.
From what I saw on today's press conference, that does not seem to be the case. He was acting like a maniac. He continued to trash our nation's intelligence agencies. He lashed out at the press. And for me, the most damaging was that he said he would not release his tax returns. He told us he would release them after his audit. Now he is saying he will not. I actually want to see them. I thought nothing of it when he said he'd release them after the audit, but now I feel fooled.
He also seemed very angry. He seems to have gone back on many of his promises. It is almost like he is working for the elite and only worried about himself.
I am still holding out hope, but did I make a major mistake voting for Trump?
P.S. I understand that living in NY, and us having the electoral college, my vote probably didn't even matter, but I voted with my heart and for what I thought was best for our country.
Thank you so very much for your post.
I'm sorry that I don't have time right now to read the whole thread, but - as a liberal Democrat myself - I've been wondering this a lot. Clearly, there are far more Americans than I'd have imagined whose votes showed them to be selfish, bigoted, bullying ignoramuses. But there are a few who just seem to have misjudged the situation, or didn't read enough to see his horrible history, or were blinded by their hatred of Hillary, or perhaps voted early before some of the bad things surfaced.
I just want to commend you on your being straightforward about posting this. These forums seem heavily right-wing, and you may get a lot of grief for your honesty.
Are you calling her crooked because of that university she ran that swindled people out of their money that wound up being settled out of court due to her political aspirations? Is that it?
Maybe he made an election day decision to eenie meenie minie moe pull the lever for Trump but a quick check at the OP's past posts shows he is not even a lukewarm Trump supporter. He is in the minority. Almost every person who voted for him is still pleased with their decision. Theres always going to be people who have a hard time making decisions and who constantly change their minds and second guess their actions. Anyone who had any conviction in their vote will give him a good year in office before they change their mind.
I am not a lib nor a Conserv. I'm more to the left when it comes ot social issues and more to the right when it comes to economics. But I ended up voting Trump. Not everyone has to be ultra left or right.
In July you call him Anti-Christ and in November you vote for him? No wonder you are confused.

Even reporters who hoped and prayed, just to demoralize his supporters mind you, that he would go back on his words are giving up. No pivoting on the horizon CNN.
