I get all of the butt hurt.  8 years ago I, as a Republican I cheered on our democratic, first black president.  Not happy with the results but sure as hell supported him.  The table has turned and times have changed.  If you don't give Trump a chance, you're just a miscreant.  A great day for America!

    The policies you find abhorrent, are specific to you.  You are not the US.  Dumb 8 years ago as history will attest was electing President Obama.

    So you're saying we shouldn't actually give him a chance to pursue policies we believe will hurt the country, but instead work to get someone else elected next time?

    Im disappointed to hear this brother Brent. You had to know that it was a disaster in the making.
     
    Not happy with the results

    My brother, it could not have ended any other way.

    Don't belittle and simplify.  Yes, you need a new candidate.  And in four years it will be the incumbent.

    I hope Hillary runs again.  Pretty sure she is the only person who Trump could have beaten.

    Trump beat all of them.  Hilliary was a Democratic Party patsy.  Hilliary only needs to size a blue dress.

    After 4 years of Trump we will see what the country needs and go from there.  Maybe he will be great and we will get 4 more golden years.  Nobody knows.

    Two sides of the same coin. We all saw (H)uge  flaws in the last three Presidents. 

    I voted Libertarian this round...because I knew I wasn't in a swing state.  We need more than 2 options.  I supported a Republican President and ironically went to war in Afghanistan under a democratic President who promised I wouldn't be there. The world is way too complicated to be one side or the other now. The only way Americans win is by mitigating the forces that keep shoveling BS down our throats (govt and media) and accept that we don't have to demonize one way of thinking to validate our own. 

    Having said that, I am looking forward to the potential of having someone in office who has not been in politics. I digress. 'Merica

    You think Trumplethinskin will actually last 4 years?

    No, that would be the thinking of a simpleton.  8 years is much more likely.

    I think we should hope for better candidates from both parties, no matter what.

    He will. We finally put a good, God fearing man in office. God does not bless those who turn their backs on him. Hence the miserable last 8 years. 
    I really liked that President Trump mentioned God several times. I don't know who wrote his speech, but there where a couple of Masonic catchphrases in it. I liked that as well.
