    To their great credit, many Dem voters visualised an America under Hillary and wisely decided to stay home rather than put her in the WH..:)

    Nothing to do with the facts that Trump got a heavy turnout of Independent voters, as well as long-time, blue collar Democrats also voting for Trump?

    Some... c'mon, at least make the effort to make a true statement. Generalizations are very poor rhetoric.

    You got that right. Now let's get things done... I like Ted Cruz as a supreme Court Justice. Liberal policies were voted out. Let's get some good right wing supreme Court justices. That be real nice.

    Not only that, but under 8 years of the "Great Uniter", the country's voters are split down the middle.

    Obama sucked when it came to uniting the nation. He did some really good things. Great things actually, but racist white people just couldn't stand the idea of a black man in charge... unfortunately that means we need a lot more of them, and we may never get a black president as good as Obama. The man was a the genuine article.

    I wouldn't say racist white people alone. I'm white, & I'm about as far from being racist as anyone you will ever meet, & I still think his entire agenda/presidency sucked. Color/Gender is insignificant.

    It is my understanding that the claim that color is insignificant is considered racist.

    You still have much work to do to not be racist, grasshopper.

    Good points.

    Those Progressive Leftist Democrats should listen to Donald, for a change, eh?

    "The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy. The phony electoral college made a laughing stock of our nation. The loser one! This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy! Our nation is totally divided! The world is laughing at us. Our country is now in serious and unprecedented trouble...like never before

    We can't let this happen. Lets fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice! We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. He lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election. We should have a revolution in this country."

    Given that President Obama is currently assigned 62% favorability by the American people and President-elect Trump 42% favorability, the incumbent may be wise to "just keep it up," no doubt - whatever it is that he's doing. (Such antics as publicly mocking the disabled would only increase his popularity with a dubious ilk.)

    Democrats in general can take little solace in their racking up more presidential votes than Republicans for the sixth time in the past seven elections, though, nor in the continuing demographic changes, nor in their increasing support from younger Americans and those with a college education.

    The Party still need to address the needs of the aging, blue-collar White male that once comprised a reliable base of support for it, even if they are a shrinking percentage of the population.

    some red states have limited voting hours are other restrictions to the voting booth such as the lack of early voting - some people just do not have the time to spend the day on line waiting in order to vote

    Yep, I remember when he was elected in 08. I wished him luck in being our president. Turns out all he has done is pitted American against American and that sucks.

    I'm in a red state with limited voting times and I'm busy yet I thought voting is important enough to make time. Obviously people didn't think it was important enough or didn't like their choices.

    The way things are going, with BO demanding the protesters only speak louder, I do see a great deal of violence in store for those living in and around Ultra-Left urban Democrat areas.

    The most violent will be: St. Louis, Chicago, Baltimore, and Newark.

    Other cities that will be somewhat less violent are: Portland, NYC, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, and New Orleans.

    The higher percentage of Blacks, so will be the higher percentage of violence and destructive rioting. Generally, a Liberal state with liberal a Dem Governor and most importantly, a Liberal Dem Mayor and city government will tip the odds.

    Just because you might have a gun does not make your home and loved ones safe during such times. You can often be surrounded and burned alive.

    The Troubling Reason the Electoral College Exists
    http://time.com/4558510/electoral-college-history-slavery/
    Some claim that the founding fathers chose the Electoral College over direct election in order to balance the interests of high-population and low-population states. But the deepest political divisions in America have always run not between big and small states, but between the north and the south, and between the coasts and the interior.

    Therefore, it is the best system that "maintains a balance between the North and South, and between the coasts and the interior" of these United States. If you don't like it, move to a country like Mexico,Venezuela, or Cuba.

    Did you watch the video or read the contents?

    This is what I have said on this forum - I post links which prove you right wingers are wrong, you ignore those links, then later on you pretend that I never answered your charges and never posted any proof of the position I have taken.


    Now go back to that link, read the contents, and watch the video. See for yourself that it reveals a truth you right wingers refuse to see.

    So when is the Pathological Liar-elect moving to Mexico,Venezuela, or Cuba?

    Probably right after all those people on the Left move to wherever they said they'd move to if he got elected...

    Like all those people who said they'd move to wherever they said they'd move to 8 years ago.

    even if that is true, that is no "mandate"

    I do agree that some new young voters wanted Bernie and instead choose not to vote, not realizing that was the same as a vote for Trump and Trump thanks them

    You may be right. The Progressive Socialist haters of conservatives will soon wake up and realize that it's not the urban cities but the suburban areas that turned this election around. I see it spilling out to smaller urban areas around university towns and expanding outward to suburban areas. That's is when the trouble will start, suburban owners will not tolerate the violence and there will be blood in the streets of suburbia.
