Dear Trumpkins

a reply to: Bloodydagger

Except Trump isn't a politician. Hes a business tycoon.

Yes, he is. He was involved in politics since the 80's.

I said in that reply you quoted that people in America are sick of establishment politics and last night is proof of it.

You mean half of the people. Well, less then half according to the current vote count.

a reply to: introvert

Talking Politics and actually being around politician inner circles doing political work 24/7 are two different things, you know. Me and you talk politics, but we are not politicians. At least im NOT.

Hate...Hate....Hate...and more hate. For the last year I have been bashed in here for supporting the GOP nominee. Told I was deluded...racist...misogynistic...Islam hater...all of it.

I am not gloating. I am just relieved Hillary is not in office. There are no apologies needed. Those people who acted the way they did know who they are and an election will not change them nor will it change me.

The hate however is incredible from those who have lost. Incredible. This election was won by everyone. Men. Women. All people.

if you contest the election, there is a process you can go through to voice your frustration.

And again, I don't want you to leave, I would rather work with you. I would rather we all worked together. But at some point, we will have to put the anger behind us.

He was in the running to be Bush's VP pick. He's very much part of the political machine. But yesterday's election made it absolutely certain. Trump is now a politician.

What will he do?

Where did I say I contest the election?

We don't have to work together. We elect people to do that for us. Will they work together in our best interests?

No. Not even with Trump as president.

But at some point, we will have to put the anger behind us.

Who's angry?

I'm no more a Trumpkin than you are a shill-bot. Take your loss and shut your mouth.

Good Luck Donald J Trump....I didn't think you could do it, I misread the will of the electorate but you have spoken and I will support all Americans.

You and I misread the electoral college and Trump's team read it perfectly. As for the Popular vote, Trump lost.

Our democracy has always been an experiment...and the next four years will be an enormous one. For the sake of the country I hope the anti-Trump crowd is as wrong about his competency as they were about his prospects for winning.

a reply to: theantediluvian

Enjoy your victory.

Oh we will.

Just think about the hundreds of threads on here, thousands of posts demagoguing Trump.

ALL FOR NOTHING.

Makes the VICTORY all the sweeter.

Agriculture secretary
The most controversial name on the transition’s current short list is Sid Miller, the current secretary of agriculture in Texas, who caused a firestorm just days ago after his campaign’s Twitter account referred to Clinton as a ‘c---.‘ Miller said it was a staffer mistake and apologized.

Health and Human Services secretary
Among the names receiving buzz: Florida Gov. Rick Scott,

Energy secretary
Continental Resources CEO Harold Hamm has long been seen as a leading candidate for Energy Secretary. Hamm, an Oklahoma billionaire who has been a friend of Trump’s for years

Homeland Security secretary

Environmental Protection Agency administrator
While Trump has called for eliminating the EPA, he has more recently modified that positions, saying in September that he’ll “refocus the EPA on its core mission

Myron Ebell, a climate skeptic who is running the EPA working group on Trump’s transition team, is seen as a top candidate to lead the agency.

Thanks for that list.

I think Rudy is a lock for Attorney General.

And that should really scare some people. He was and still is - a helluva prosecutor. That's how he "made his bones" so to speak, and the reason he was elected Mayor for two terms in NYC.

It's going to be interesting, no doubt.

a reply to: Indigo5

That's a scary list.

a reply to: Indigo5

I know I'm ready to turn on him is he doesnt start measuring up. I cant speak for everyone else that fought for him, but I will always remain convinced the Billary people by and large would never turn on her. They already fully accepted the deepest and the darkest of her and the DNC's etc. They'd have voted her back in even after starting WW3, goosetepping brigades in DC like Red Square, all of it. And then voted her in again, and again, if she managed o remain alive that long.

this one goes out to all the clintonites,

Darn. After reading the title, I was so hoping this was gonna be an "I'm leaving the country" thread.

Oh well, can't win em all.

It'll be awhile, they probably needed quite a bit of antidepressants after trumps win. Let the haze clear, then the witty banter shall return.

Did anyone take note of the popular vote in Arkansas?
Trump: 60.4%
Clinton: 33.8%

When Hillary decided to run for US Senate, instead of running in a state that she called home for almost two decades, she ran off to New York. She didn't want to represent us. Why would we want to vote for her?

a reply to: ColdWisdom

That's the ONE thing I've noticed from the left, they are REALLY big at projection...lol

That's a scary list.

Ya...A Climate Denier heading the EPA, Giuliani as AG and Palin as Secretary of the interior..Not to mention he has the balls to propose his son as a Cabinet Member and the AG from FL that was part of the pay-to-drop-lawsuit scandal..

And a Senate and House on board...

He will tip the SCOTUS..and all proposed nominees are open to overturning Roe vs. Wade..in the next four years he will likely have 1-2 more justices to appoint, given the number in their eighties.

Trump is about payback...to his loyal inner circle and his enemies...it's one of the few things he is consistent about.

I am glad that the disenfranchised and angry half of the country got a win and had their voices heard.

I dread what it will cost them and the rest of us. Beware of what you wish for.
