You either die a joke or live long enough to see yourself become the president.

Right now I would paraphrase it as something like: Fuck you! Donald Trump! Fuck you! Donald Trump!

In a few years it might be something more along the lines of: Fuck you Donald Trump!

Or maybe the meth will have worn off by then.

Seriously making me think he never tried to make it this far and kept saying and doing worse shit in order to lose, and failed.

Or he's doing what he always does and doing a 180 for appearances. But no one calls him out on it for some reason.
 
From talking to some who voted Trump, they voted for him not for his negative comments (they were against all of his negatives) but voted for him because even with those comments they feel the government has failed them and Hillary would be more of same, Hillary is horrible and has done worse than Trump even with his comments (bringing up the Syria thing and some of her past actions), feel that Trump's skills will help him more than Hillary considering he's not part of "the system" so he's a fresh start for things. They also feel Trump's negative comments were bullshit and a tactic used to get more votes (stated that he used the same tactic he talked about in his book except on a political scale). To the "Hillary is worse" stuff, they said that even with Trump's bluffs that still doesn't account up to the negatives that Hillary's actually done that people aren't talking about.

Sure, a lot of that isn't rural America but that's what I get from some who actually voted for Trump. Me I voted for Hillary so I had to ask.

The guy holding the sign is wrong because Trump married an immigrant.

That's not what bigotry meaaaaaaaaaans!

Trump gives a lot to charity.

Media spins everything.

You'll spin my name go fuck yourself.

Trump traveled the world feeding kids.

I still can't believe you guys are reading that second tweet as straight-forward, un-ironic, non-looming speech. It's exactly the same content as the first one written in a way to fool peop... oh.

It's really interesting because people are essentially saying, "I voted for Trump because I don't believe the words he said. And I didn't vote for Hillary because I didn't believe the words she said."

That's the rationale my dad has. Hillary is criminal, she wants to raise taxes, Trump was just saying stuff to win but he'll change when he's president because you can't act like that as leader of free world. Voting against Hillary, not for Trump, and so on

That's the rationale of a non-rural middle class person. And we're not even white; we're Puerto Rican and lived in the Bronx most of our lives

The Electoral College members are the ones who actually give their respective state's electoral votes away.

Generally, they fall in line with how the voting went in the primary. Trump won the EC vote despite losing the popular vote.

However, when the EC members cast their vote, they have the power to use their discretion and not give their points to Trump.

so I can commit the ultimate sin and hope for Trump replaced with a sane person?

I mean, if you live in the US, you should write your Electorate and protest.

Yep.

That's the rationale of those who I asked who aren't in rural America and were actually voting for Trump in blue states. They're white and educated. Me? I'm a Southern black man.

His PR team needs to take full control of his Twitter account. Him using it at this point will only make things worse.

No.. Let him keep it. Make sure every single person in this country remembers exactly what we have allowed. His twitter is our daily reminder to get involved, volunteer, organize, and protest.
 
Instead of asking for calm and tolerance, he whines about not getting unconditional support.

He doesn't even realize that he's sending a terrible message by being defensive all the time.

This is going to be a very painful 4 years for the country if he doesn't extend some sort of olive branch.

Worth a shot, though as far as I'm aware, the EC has always voted by the popular vote in their state. I think we are stuck with him unless something wild happens, like multiple states protesting and swapping candidates. I just don't see it happening.
