This was a vote of frustration - a big FU to the political system. What happens next I have no clue. Clearly major cuts in spending on domestic programs, major military increases, major tax cuts - it's going to be interesting to see where we are at in 2 years.
I would like to extend my apologies to the rest of the civilized world. From President Obama to Donald Trump. It's real life Dune!!! Baron Harkonnen has taken over!!!
How does the Canadian Anthem go again? Also I need the French Canadian version... I've packed my boys in ice to test and prepare them for the cold like they've never been before... Oh Canada!!! Something Something Something..
you know, you have to believe that there is a fair number of people who voted for Obama and then voted for Trump. Wonder what their thought processes were.
He got one more point than Romney among whites with 70% turnout (opposed to 72% in 2012). Trump's gains over Romney were with minorities.
I am so embarassed to be an American right now. But you are right. Dems will be blamed for the fiasco that will be created. A lot of people are going to suffer. It's amazing - Republicans broke gov't by refusing to cooperate and then gets rewarded for it.
Lol.. what a ****ing childish post. I don't want either one of these dumb ****s in office but your biased ignorance is comical. Thanks for the laugh.
The thing I got out of watching all this coverage is that 98% of the counties in the US are red, not blue.
What a load of monumental crap. Trump, the WORST candidate in the history of the country, is going to be the next president, and the Dems STILL cannot concede a hand in this outcome? This is just beyond delusional. If you cannot see the clear impetus for the party to rid itself of the toxic, corrupt cabal that has betrayed its constituency and led to this outcome then you should just push for a breakup of the country and be done with it.
You could say the same for a lying, stealing, corrupt person as well. All the hate for Trump when Clinton is just as bad, and could possibly be worse. That's up in the air.
How dare you call half of the country idiots. The real and only idiots are the corrupt Dem Elites who really treated Bernie and his supporters like trash.
