Thousands take to the streets to protest results. I don't recall Republicans protesting and marching when Obama won. These people are ridiculous

As for the media and pundits - the closest in recent history is the Truman-Dewey elections and them missing the call. Perhaps some will remember the photo of the newspaper publishing Dewey wins with Truman holding it as the winner in '48

Haha that's great. Seriously wtf is wrong with these people? High school kids walking out of class to protest? College kids protesting in the streets. Do they seriously believe Obamacare is sustainable and free college is good for this country? It's a bunch of people that have basically been living free their entire lives and have no effing idea how the real world works...where money comes from and who has to pay for stuff. False reality. We have an entire generation that is entitled and thinks everyone should get everything they need for little work. That is the exact opposite of the ideals our country was built on. And why we are in huge trouble as a country.

Trump winning is not going to magically change this. Trump has an opportunity to become one of the greatest presidents of all time if he can connect with these people, motivate them to join society and give them purpose, give them meaning. Almost like fdr and the ccc. Infrastructure is one of his policies, maybe get these people good jobs working on the nation's roadways and airports so they have pride in strengthening our nation. I dunno. If he can't connect with these people and there's constant unrest, he will go down as one of the worst. Forget Isis, forget foreign economic threats. Motivating the youth of this country to be productive citizens that pull their weight should be the #1 priority of this administration. Today's youth is supposed to be our foundation for a strong country...if their mindsets don't get turned around we will crumble together

Lol. Sounds like something Texas would pull. I love the comment about Canada's social services including their healthcare. I'd bet money these fools haven't looked to see what Canada's tax rate is.

Libs have been melting pretty hard the last couple of days. I gotta say I was as surprised as they were.

It's Fowlers fault. He was campaigning for GJ.

I'll admit I voted third party (not GJ) because I didn't respect Trump enough to vote for him even though I agree with a lot of his positions. I did not think it would have been this close in our blue state. The people I know who voted for GJ would have typically voted Republican but were in the same boat as me.

I was really hoping Mills would have won in my district. It was very close.

I think a lot of the Trump voters came out because they were sick of the snotty liberals pushing their white guilt agenda and talking down to them. White pride! :lol:
