Dear Protesting Liberals In America

Reading through this thread I think we should combine both sides' points in a compromise and move forward.

Let's give the guy a chance whilst we all remain highly skeptical and hold him accountable if he steps out of bounds to either the left or the right of his path.

Good? Great, now get the frig out of the streets and go do something to productive with your day.

Now is the perfect time to apply Michelle Obama's policy of "when they go low, we go high."

Were she really a voice of the dems that phrase would carry some weight. See any dems advocating her policy? Neither have I.

I accept his presidency. Now we have to get ready to pay the consequences of his policies if he actually does what he said he would do.

good, then like I said, hows about we wait and see what he actually does, before we get all angry about it.

They should form a new political affiliation...

call it...

"The Pity Party"

...this is absolutely ludicrous behavior... perhaps even beyond ludicrous.

I don't know what you are talking about. I never said he should be arrested for being president. I said I hope he was lying when he said he would put ultra-conservatives on the Supreme Court.

Practical solutions, like building a wall and making Mexico pay for it?



I don't think you are in a position to talk about practical solutions.

We did come out and vote, and it's possible before it's all said and done, that Hillary will have up to a million more votes than Trump:

The biggest chunk of uncounted votes is in California. Washington State, New York, Oregon and Maryland also have large numbers of uncounted votes. Clinton won all those states, and if the trends continue, she will pad her lead by more than 1 million votes.

kxan.com...

If this turns out to be true, I think we can legitimately say that the will of the people was not followed here.

You didn't come out where it mattered. Trump won states that previously went to Obama - Pennsylvania, WI, MI, Ohio. What does that tell you? Are we to now believe this racist tripe that states that supported Obama in TWO elections all of a sudden decided to dust off their klan outfits to support Trump?

The fact is Trump had a message that resonated with these people who are far from the NYC / Ivory towers. I suspect large numbers of union voters went to Trump because they understand that issues with globalism as it is their jobs that are being lost.

Despite Trump being a billionaire, he works in Real Estate. He isn't a financier like say Romney. He knows what it is like to walk around a construction site and talk with guys with dirt under their nails. These guys traditionally supported Democrats because of their unions. However, they realized that the Democrats sold them out. They don't give a sh*t about your LBGTQ issues or any of the other SJW stuff. They also know how illegal immigrants are taking their jobs. The coal miners in PA. The Line workers at auto plants and other heavy manufacturing companies. Policemen. These people came out in droves to support Trump which is why he won those states that put him over the top.

rules of the election say differently

you want to change the rules now?

No, but to say the majority of people spoke in electing Trump would be factually incorrect.

I don't see how this is different than when we faced the GWB and Obama presidencies.

a reply to: introvert

no but perhaps sanctioning mexico for all the illegal immigrants we have absorbed and thus paid for through Tax may be a great idea, and force them to clean their #ing # country.

you are just so angry and he hasn't done anything yet.

BTW, I really really, didn't want a highly liberal judge appointed who might undermine the 2nd amendment. Are my wants and wishes any less important than yours?

Maybe if give them all "2016 Election Day Participation" trophies, they'll calm down a little?

We already got those in the form of "I Voted Today" stickers.

So far it looks like the majority voted for Clinton. So your point is invalid.

after you relax a bit and realize this is how things are going to be for a bit, look here and perhaps you can be the change you want to see.

aristotle.com...

What does that have to do with my post?

Stick to the topic. You're attempt at condescension is laughable.

Obama should have been working his butt off to fill Scalia's seat and not stumping for Hillary and hoping to hold the woman-vote hostage with the vacancy.

haha once for the republic and it's process now against, whatever is convenient for your argument at the time.. Trump won against all odds, against the media, lying polls, propaganda and violence from leftists, are you so obtuse that you cannot see the country has wholesale rejected the new age progressive ideology?

No, the country did not reject progressive policies. Less than half voted for Trump. That is not a wholesale rejection.

That is not very nice introvert and a very low way to show your dissatisfaction at the way your favorite party lost.

Favorite party? I'm not a Dem and I did not vote for Clinton. Your assumptions are embarrassing.

Insults are nothing but low punches use by cowards. What a shame.

Really? So then all of you are cowards for the things you said about Leftists, Hillary and Obama over the last 8 years?

a reply to: introvert

lol
no it is not factually incorrect
perhaps you do not understand how presidential elections work?
the majority of people did speak in electing trump

putting any weight on any other system is factually incorrect(unless of course you do not understand how presidential elections work)

wait a minute didnt all those models the dems put out show hill with 270+?
"he has no path to 270"
no discussion of problems with the rules then eh?

I'm not angry, but I understand why some people are.

I thought Trump was voted in because he would be the change the American people wanted. Apparently they forgot to look at the ideas he was touting to see that he would be just another politician that would keep the country going down the wrong track.
