Ya women would have been much safer with Bill Clinton back in the White House.

Ya, I think I'm honestly worried most about one of my best friends who is a muslim. I'm more scared for him than anything else right now.

Well Donald, you won. I didn't vote for you and I didn't want you to win. I hope you prove me wrong and go on to be an amazing president. And for all the politicians out there, I hope every one saw what happened and realized Donald is here because of the republicans and democrats who failed to work together to make America better.

 

I hope we see a much more moderate Trump from here on out and that ultimately his policies will end up falling more in the middle. We shall see, but as an American, I hope you do an amazing job.

 

The 85% incumbency and gerrymandering effect disagrees in the sense they preserved the Congress despite the GOP being at about a 15-20% approval rating over parts of the last four years due to obstructionism and lack of creative/innovative policy ideas beyond trickle down economics.

 

But there will definitely be a backlash if he fails to govern in the middle....see 1994, 2006/08....2010/2014.

 

Who is going to protect those Americans who will lose medical coverage and be denied due to pre-existing conditions by the next insurer?

 

The environment/green movement was going to be a driver of employment growth...where is new job growth going to come from? All small and medium sized businesses?

Sick people with individual insurance through Obamacare. Once it's gone, and they're never going to get any decent coverage due to pre-existing conditions.

Obama ruined everyone's lives. Trump even said voting for Hillary is like voting for 4 more years of Obama. The weird part....Obama's approval rating is higher than Reagan's on election day 1988. The only 2 modern Presidents with a higher approval rating on election day were Reagan in 1984, and Bill Clinton in 2000.

Approval ratings, like polling, did not matter in this election. The people who came out in waves to support Trump did not respond to approval ratings polls nor any polling. They did not exist.

 

Until yesterday when they did by the millions. 1.1 million more people voted in Wisconsin alone in 2016 than in 2012.

They are called "politicians." And there are still 538 of them in Washington that will be making the laws. If they really wanted to "Drain the Swamp," people like McCain wouldn't be reelected. Not because he's a bad representative, but because he is a lifetime politician. That didn't happen.

Yes, draining the swamp and bringing in Guilianni, and Gingrich, and Christie into the cabinet doesn't exactly jive.

Many republicans are already supporting the green movement indirectly due to the economic benefits it has created rather than any concerns about climate change.

 

Republicans like jobs and money just as much as anyone.

 

The issue is going to be whether cutting federal subsidies undercuts the industry so much as to stall out significant progress, or whether the economics of renewable resources can carry the day themselves. In addition to cutting federal subsidies, it will be interesting to see how badly the Clean Power Plan and the regulations on coal, in particular, upset the economics of solar and wind energy.

What happened was the dems selected a candidate that simply couldnt be president.

She got more votes than Trump did so there's that.

Hillary since she's getting locked up!

C'mon, man. Trump already said it will be replaced by something terrific.

What happened was the dems selected a candidate that simply couldnt be president. It wasnt going to happen, I have said that for months. Bernie mops the floor with Trump this election but as we saw from wikileaks the DNC wasnt going to let that happen, under any circumstances. Not to mention that there is video proof thanks to James Okeefe of the dems admitting they pay the mentally ill to attack people at Trump rallies. The Clintons almost destroyed the entire democratic party. Hillary Clinton was the worst candidate in political history running the most negative garbage campaign possible. Colluding with the media and even establishment GOP politicians. That is why Trump won. Not because of raicism, sexism or any isms people want to insult people with. You lost because of the candidate you selected.

 

A guy who admittedly honeymooned in Russia, Socialist Party member who is just as annoying to hear speak as Hillary...with completely unrealistic free universal higher education policies and no chance at breaking up the big banks without the cooperation of Congress?

 

No...he never had a chance.

 

The polls that had him ahead of Trump are meaningless today.

 

 

C'mon, man. Trump already said it will be replaced by something terrific.

 

Yes, they'll open up state lines so insurers from 50 different states can reject them.

Hillary since she's getting locked up!

Where are you getting that number? Turnout was significantly down this year across the country and the vote totals between Obama and Romney were higher than Clinton and Trump is Wisconsin.

Yes, you are missing :

-Scientists (future scientists as well -- grad students / undergrad, etc.)

-Literally every human being on Earth.

 

Trump is essentially anti-science and believes climate change is a hoax. His presidency has the likely probability of destroying this planet. Climate change is already at terrible stages and likely irreversible, him becoming president likely will put the final nail in the coffin. We are all doomed. Admitedly, any of the other candidates would not have done all too much better, but this is like America saying "f*** you climate, who cares." Which, perhaps ironically, is what they have been doing for years now, so...

You do realize Trump has been accused of sexual assault by 12 women, right?

Yeah but think about how many women will be saved from breast cancer once they can't have abortions!

You aren't serious right? You forgot the green (sarcasm label)?

 

Sorry, supposed to be green.

Over the next year or so, I wouldn't be surprised to see some crossing of the aisles in Congress. At a minimum, I don't see a happy partnership between Trump and some of the Republicans in Congress.

Lowering taxes for the wealthy and business, bringing in Washington lifers to run federal programs.

 

Such a HUGE change. Drain that swamp

You aren't serious right? You forgot the green (sarcasm label)?

 

green font isnt necessary when the sarcasm is that evident
