If his cabinet plays out as expected.. yeah that actually cannot happen.

We've been waiting months for the pivot.
Then look at the people he's surrounded himself with. Giuliani. Gingrich. Possibly Michael Clarke. None of these are decent people or leaders.
By grabbing us all by the pussy?
a slim possibility though, unless SC justices drop out during Trump's term
I'm praying to every god I can think of for the health of the liberal justices right now.
What if we find the lost city of Atlantis and it's filled with Unicorns that can cure all of our diseases forever?
See I'm not sure she really got out there enough. It was the same thing with Bill in that Clinton's seem to do the minimum amount possible to get by. Which is of course problematic when your opponent is mobilizing voters in key areas better.

I said a few times that the DNC is as broken as the RNC is this year and was laughed away.
Anti-Establishment definitely was the vote of the people. They tried with the tea party it wasn't going well they went nuclear.

Who could have predicted that Japanese Donald Trump ad would be so successfully influential?
That would be a surprise.

"Once the west coast votes start rolling in Hillary will get the lead."
Gaf... like half a day ago.
The problem is that it wasn't a discussion between a candidate who says "I think we should stimulate economy through tax breaks" and one who says "I think we should stimulate it through increasing the minimum wage".
It was between a candidate who said "I think we should collaborate internationally over climate change" and one who said "Climate change is a conspiracy made up by the Chinese".
You can only reach across the aisle so much. If we compromised anymore we'd essentially be giving them everything they want.

The thought of Newt and Rudy getting a job in his cabinet makes me visibly ill.

At this point it doesn't matter what trump ends up doing. The problem is the people who will come into power (Gingrich, Pence, Giuliani etc) as a result of his success.

Says who?
Polls...
What polls?
Polls...most of them...all of them
Yeah thanks for all the polls that assured a HC victory
Also this is mostly DNC's fault for ignoring what most dems/independents wanted (Bernie) and pushing forward with HC. I am sure it would have been not this brutal if Bernie was in it.

I saw Ben Carson on the proposed list and laughed the crazed laugh of a man who has gone mad.

Let this sink in...
A person with no political background outside of some bribes and has more democratic ideas won the Republican nomination against established people in government. Said person destroyed those candidates and then went to the general election as a clown. Said clown toppled another well respected smart politician and he won the presidency by electoral votes something no one thought was even possible. Then Clinton barely won the popular vote by a margin so insignificant it really isn't worth bringing up.
Protest votes are a real thing. Hating the establishment is a real thing. People disgruntled with dynasty politics is a real thing.

This is the fault of everyone who didn't vote or voted third party. No one else.

Nope...a lot of people voted...just not for HC. She is the reason, DT won. Plain and simple.

Also Benjamin Ghazi
He lost by millions of votes. Most dems/independents wanted Hillary. They went with Hillary.
the kind of extremely patronizing and antagonizing comments i've seen in this thread are exactly why trump won. you do not peacefully convince people that you are right by aggressively making fun of them and telling them that they are wrong, even if it's true. that makes them even more entrenched in their own beliefs, and breeds resentment as well. it's really sad that the left has failed to realize this, and it has led to this massive divide in the country. i say that as someone who leans left-of-center when it comes to politics.

46.9% of the country didn't vote and a bit over 2% voted third party. She's also won the popular vote
Yeah, sure is a shame that the Clinton campaign didn't vote for themselves while the Trump campaign did.

well if they were going to shove her anywhere I guess that would be a kind of logical fit? Fuck I dunno of this feigned optimism is gonna stick.
That actual power is now Red meaning they are about to ravage a fuck ton of laws.
That would be quite a twist.
I sure hope there's a tiny parcel in him that truly wants a better America, because you guys are stuck with him for a while.

I really wish he was around to revel in the insanity of today. He would have absolutely tore Trump several new ones.
I agree, I wish the media did a better job of explaining Trump's faults instead of screaming the same old "YOU'RE RACIST REEEE" argument over and over again.
It cultivates resentment and makes people actively want to vote against her.
The wall and killing trade deals is not going to happen.
Obamacare is dead. Rich will have all time low taxes.
Rural America still fucked.

By like 0.2%. Against Trump. Let that set in, along with his Presidency...
And then the hard left would have torn him a new one for being intolerant and offensive... As much as I love Carlin and wish he was alive today, he wouldn't stand a chance.

Serious question as a european.
Read almost this entire thread trying to make me understand what the hell happened in your country.
But something doesn't seem right, all the posts have about the same question or are complaining.
Where are the 50.000.000!!! percentage that vote Trump saying something in this thread?
Iis there truly a part of society that we don't see or understand? (Like i think is happening all across Europe)

I'm more gutted about my country voting for bigotry, hate, and against science and common sense than I am Trump tanking it.
They did, people didn't care. If all someone heard was racism, its because they are the types to think being called a racist is worse than being one.
They are here, its the ones poking fun and saying I told you so. They don't have anything else to talk about, because their candidate didn't have a real platform. Unless you count hate and fear.
Trump's entire run, even before he ran for President was based on antagonizing, patronizing and appealing to resentiments.

The kick in the balls is if he is decent its further validation in the eyes of Republicans in the sense that if he's "decent" then Democrats in the House/Senate, being "the adults in the room" will play ball and he gets credit for being able to work Cross the Aisle where President Obama could not.
