Donald Trump did not "scheme" his way into the white house. He simply ran for president like all the other candidates and nothing more. Unless they do away with the electoral college we're stuck with it, like it or not. You cannot pick and choose which elections to complain about it.

I blame Hillary Clinton for the gutter sniping that she did throughout her campaign by trying to convince the "uneducated" that Donald Trump shouldn't have his finger on the "button". That's utter nonsense and meant to create fear in some people. I hope that Hillary crawls right back under whatever rock she came out of and that her communist influence peddling is over. In fact I think that Hillary would be happiest living in places like China, Cuba, or North Korea. Then she wouldn't have to try so hard to create Communism here.

I was not happy with the selection of Obama as our president for the past 8 years, but I lived with it, so Hillary's follower's will simply have to do the same, assuming that their adult enough to live with that decision. If they choose to move to Canada, then hopefully they'll stay there and not vote in our next election. Good riddance!

Research Saul Alinsky so you can find out who the real Hillary Clinton is. The first thing they want to do is to control healthcare (DONE!). Then they try to increase poverty (DONE!), then increase the national debt (DONE!), bring in gun control (which she's openly spoken of doing), among other things such as influencing the education of our children (IN PROGRESS). Another agenda item is the removal of God from education. Obama has had great influence on the military in trying to remove the word "God" and "Christmas".

If anyone here truly believes that having a Communist as our president then I invite them to move to a communist country instead of trying to change ours.

I noticed that some people here are from Scotland, Australia, and New Zealand. They have communist parties in every one of those countries also, so beware of some peoples' opinions here.

Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama are cut from the same communist thinking of Saul Alinsky. They truly did want to CHANGE AMERICA to communism. Hillary interviewed Saul Alinsky for her master's thesis and Obama followed Alinsky's methods in his early days as a Chicago community organizer. I sincerely hope that we're done with the two of them, but I suspect that they'll both be a thorn in our side for years to come.

Russia Was in Contact With Trump’s People During the Campaign

well my my my
ain't thsi something?


for months Trump himself has STRONGLY denied any connections or even contact with any Russians
seems it ain't so

Russia Was in Contact With Trump’s People During the Campaign

http://www.redstate.com/aglanon/2016/11/10/russia-contact-trumps-people-campaign/

seems the deception has started and he's not even picked out the carpet for the Oval Office yet

ever heard that saying

"meet the new boss SAME as the old boss"

Trump is learning politics REAL fast
he better drain the swamp as he has said
before he becomes one of the swamp dwellers himself

I'd like to give him a chance
but its not looking good is it?

Without delving into my personal opinion of Trump, one of my biggest concerns is that he makes good on his promise to either pull out of NATO, or refuses to help a NATO country that hasn't contributed their full 2%. Potentially Putin could well view statements like that as an open invitation to walk across neighboring borders unchallenged, knowing the US military will sit back and let it happen based on one person's skewed business ethics. In much the same way he'd stiff a contractor working on one of his casinos, he'd let an entire country be swallowed up by Russia on purely economic grounds - ironic for a man who's based his empire on not paying his share.
Dubya worried me, but this guy has political Tourettes syndrome, little or no understanding of the world at large, and a worsening case of megalomania. And we just gave him control of the entire US military and the launch codes...

I think something will change.  By having someone in office who is not part of the inner circle and has been there for decades, perhaps even other world leaders will try to deal with this on a real level and finally there will be better agreements and a much less chance of a nuclear war.  The focus is not on the LGBT when in terms of America we have huge economic, energy, and immigration issues which will effect all of us and could threaten the survival of our country.

I am proud to be an American and looking forward with a positive attitude and anticipating a change for the better. 

If we strengthen our industry and bring manufacturing home to the U.S. instead of taking all the jobs to other countries, it will benefit the poor and the middle class. All of us, independent of sexual preference, race, or wealth deserve equal treatment and opportunity. No group should be singled out for special treatment.

A person should not be elected to political office based on gender or race. The current policies and leadership have proved to be ineffective in solving our problems. It was time for a change and now there has been.

I don't care about your race or your sexual orientation just as long as you don't throw your attitude in my face regarding any chip that you might have on your shoulder because you're unhappy with who you are as a person. I can deal with just about anyone as long as they don't come at me with preconceived ideas based on their own prejudicial biases. I've admitted the fact that I've become biased ONLY because I've dealt with other peoples' bias related attitudes for too long. (Pavlov's dog)

Regarding LGBTQ, I don't understand it or want to understand it. I'm tired of Hollywood cramming their lifestyle down our throats. There are only about 3.8% of people (possibly slightly higher) who identify as LGBTQ in the U.S. As long as people keep their sex lives private I'm good with that.

With regards to our recent election, it is what it is, so move on if you don't agree with the results.

I have no doubt that Donald Trump will be able to fill any vacancy that he's hiring for. After all, it is the "presidency" and people trip over themselves and screw other people all the time just to get a promotion in corporate America. That's a BS article.

Trump won because he is King of Achievers. He won because the only thing he is terrible at is loosing. It was his destiny all along. This is not to say he is not without faults... He is not a God of Flawlessness. But he is the Houdini of Success. There is an apt purpose behind everything he does. To proudly place his youngest prominently beside himself during victory speech is telling to winning the future long after he is gone. America loves Dynasties. He won because he deserved to win. He won because he earned it. He won because he knew he could not loose and he won because I, and NCgirl and FluMom and others here and tens of millions of other Americans knew this as well. Like him or not, he has already made America a little Greater. -Oneflu

You're all a bunch of spoiled little babies who didn't get your way in this election. It is what it is at this point and we have to at least give Mr. Trump a chance. He might surprise all of us. On the other hand I might even be disappointed in him. It is way to early for all this moaning and groaning. Some of you on this forum are too full of yourselves. Grow up!

Look, I and conservatives were not happy when Obama became president but NO one created a riot or blocked traffic on highways. We have liberals who can not graciously accept President elect Trump as conservatives did in 2008 or 2012.

As a person in education (mostly liberals) we have taught our children that they will never lose. All get ribbons or trophies even if they lose at any contest. These mostly young people protesting do not know how to lose a contest so they think that if they stomp their feet they will get what they want. Life does not work that way!

Look Trump has children and grand children he is not going to press the nuclear button you are all hysterical for no reason!

Give Trump the same respect and chance conservatives gave to Obama.

FluMom, I do not think Trump will deliberately spark a nuclear war. I just think that things are delicately balanced and he does not "get it" which makes his chances of making fatal mistakes greater.  Both Truman and Roosevelt were family men, yet down came the bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

I've done my fair share of marching and placard waving in my time, and the people who come along on the chance that it might escalate were ever present. They were never there when you needed people to hand out leaflets or collect signatures, and much of the time you'd never even seen them before - but they'd show up to cause mayhem for the sake of it despite your best efforts to rein them in, and oftentimes it was for a cause they clearly had little interest in. It was the drama and adrenaline that brought them out.

That said, some of the things that Trump is now proposing have an awfully familiar ring to them. He was quoted on Thursday as saying that all Muslims within the US will be required to register, and when challenged by reporters on how that compared to Jews being required to do the same by the the Nazis, his reply was "You tell me".

I'm not so naive that I don't realize we have enemies within Islam, but I fail to see the logic in giving more Muslims a reason to radicalize by alienating them further. Declaring war on all members of a particular faith within our borders seems like sheer folly to me, but doesn't surprise me given Trump's lack of experience and temperament.

In that respect, I'm sure Ben Carson's comparison of Syrian refugees to rabid dogs running around your neighborhood isn't exactly winning over any hearts and minds either...

Sam Vaknin's thoughts on Donald Trump:

i was reading a book the othr day called"GREENMANTLE"by john bucan,Greenmantle is the second of five novels by John Buchan featuring the character of Richard Hannay, first published in 1916 by Hodder & Stoughton, London. Wikipedia

Technophobe wrote: I knew about the nerve gas, Chuck.  But I still think an end to the conflict, absolutely any end at all, is better than the continuing conflict.  If the war is over then he has no reason to gas his people anymore.   If things go on as they are, there will not be anyone left to gas - except the rebels and Isil in their tunnels and bunkers with their western made gas masks, NBC suits and weaponry. Make no mistake, Assad is a monster.  Russia only backs him to wind up the west.  Should Trump concede to Putin over this, then it will confirm to the Russian people that "Putin is the strong leader they want".  It will also make any further negotiations with Putin more problematic, as Putin will know that Trump is malleable (rather than just suspect it): - Bad news for America,  Bad news for the Western world in general, but still a final end to armageddon for the Syrians.  An awful end, but at least it will be an end.

Look, Obama was a community organizer, a Senator for 3 years and he became President with NO experience! Obama had NO experience in foreign matters.   Obama's one main asset was the fact he was the first black president.

At least Trump is a billionaire, who has built businesses (yes, some failures but when you are a billionaire you will have failures), he has negotiated both with foreign and domestic people on large contracts, employed thousands of people and knows how to fire the bureaucrats who do nothing in D.C.

I am less worried about Trump than the VERY inexperienced Obama and we are still alive today despite Obama's large inexperience when he became President.

Get real folks just because your candidate did not win is no reason to down the person who did win.

Of you have ever watched Australian politics,you will know our politicians have developed the great art of the double backflip on any/all what they said in the run to an election,no wonder I am the biggest cinic ,

No point arguing amongst ourselves,what's done is done ,time to move on and hope for the "slate wiper".......
