    Yep!
    He will win with probably less than 20% of all minority votes.

    He won his base of white people.
    That is the only base he courted.
    That is the only base he needed.

    Hate sells. Republicans have sold hate to the American public for so long I am actually wondering what happens now that they will control every aspect of government. There could be a miracle and their policies will actually work out...however, I know that's not true because I'm not a moron like over half the country apparently is and I know it will be a **** show for the ages. We are ****ing done as a super power. This is the final nail. Hate and Ignorance rule here.

    Think about the power he will have, he has the senate and congress. This will be ugly. I may have to stay away from the news, im not inclined to see the US banning people based on religion and rounding up families and kicking them out. Im just glad I live in a blue state now. This **** is going to get crazy.

    You had better believe that the whole states rights thing is going to go out the window in a heartbeat and all these progressive policies (higher minimum wage, mar1juana legalization) are gone.

    Trump has no desire to hand power to the states.

    Trump will fail to reform Washington unless his plan is to become a dictator. It will be interesting to see if what level of power he goes after.

    Yeah that wont affect me I dont smoke pot and Im not worried about the min wage, lol. I vote democratic not because it helps me but because you know if you are a human being who cares about people you kinda have to vote democrat lately. It'll affect people I know though and those people already have it hard.

    Nihilism won. Manufactured controversy won. Use of government institutions for political payback won. In short, just another night of precedents in a long line of GOP precedents of playing to the lowest common denominator. Only a statement against this form of politics could we have had any real victory

    The question now is what comes next? Where is the bottom for the American electorate?
    Right now, I anticipate him just letting the GOP have whatever the hell they want while he plays king. But who knows. We may start to get a sense as he assembles a cabinet. Obama's cabinet formation signaled a lot about his presidency.

    Well, it was good while it lasted. I can't believe this lying sack of crap won the presidency. It just proves that you can be a stone idiot and you can still beat a woman at anything.

    Old people don't care about their pocketbooks. I see a recession coming. It's bad people. It is really bad.

    Hoping for the best though.

    Hakeem Olajuwon and Yao Ming are banned from coming into the United States.. I guess they aren't true Rockets fans after all. And kiss 401k good bye because Trump has also crashed the stock market.

    Only those who work and make over a certain amount pay net taxes.

    That would actually work against every race except East Asians, Indians and Whites.
