I wonder what Mike Pence's role will be. Didn't Donald say his plan was to #maga and leave operations to the veep?

Maybe we should just elect Trump president
not my words…thoughts?
To the candidate who thought she had it in the bag lol:
You and your cabal at the DNC/DLC, Center for American Progress, Podesta Group et al illegally tipped the scales in the Democratic primary to pass you the throne despite it being clear that the Progressive Left is the major viable arm of the Democratic party. Yet you still refused to beg the Left's forgiveness and completely change your corporatist/war-mongering ways and secure our support, requisite to win the general. No, you spat in the face of the Left, appointed a Wall St. crony in Tim Kaine (the man was so useless that you won the state he governs by less than Obama's margin in 2008) when simply adding Bernie to the ticket would've won a resounding victory. Bernie alone would've wiped the floor with Trump and nothing could convince me otherwise. Further note that women did not come out in droves for you and neither did the youth vote, again when contrasted with Obama's performances.
The black vote supported you in the primary but when more information was disclosed of the generationally detrimental impact of you and your husband's crime bill of the 1990s and how you facilitated in the creation of corporate prisons, a large segment of voters seemed to have stayed home. What does this say about you and your history of cronyism/war-mongering? Your failure to allow light to shine on your errors (disclose your dumb emails and Wall St. tapes immediately - voters are much more forgiving than you think; proven by the citizenry's ability to overlook Trump's disgustingness) and sheer tone-deafness to a populous that would rather Russia allegedly commit espionage than be dragged into further unjust wars and horrific trade agreements that disenfranchise the Rust Belt (an area we on the Left should shred you for losing for us a generation at least) was shocking. And to top it all off, you and your supporters have left us to fend off and deal with decisions from a Supreme Court that will inch by inch whittle away at the rights of minorities to vote, invade women and other people's privacy and gerrymander the political landscape to ensure the Republican party's viability for at least two generations to come.
For that alone, you and all those comprising the center of the Democratic Party owe the country an apology and should slither away from "public service" and hopefully from anything to do with politics (God knows each and every one of you will find employment as some filthy lobbyist/political consultant by tomorrow morning) and allow the Progressive wing to fix the country. Today is not a sad day but a day of recompense. We let this happen.
He will serve a short term. I'd be surprised if he even has the will to finish one term. The hope is by then, a Progressive candidate will be thrust on the scene to truly represent the ideals of all Americans (even the many who voted for the first time and saw Trump as the better evil than Clinton). Even the super power that we are sometimes requires a wake up call. That day is here.

I think Joe Biden would have been a more viable candidate than Bernie (or Hillary).
Poor ol Martin O'Malley is all "How come nobody is saying *I* would've won?"
And Jim Webb is just walking around punching people.

Some really, really solid points on here. But I think today I need to go listen to music and take a long walk away from social media and computers and TV. I'm done with this stuff for a while. Life will go on. I hope that some really good music will come out of the next four years.
Absolutely blown away. As I walked into my polling place a guy tried handing me the Republican sample ballot while saying "Vote For Pedro!", I didn't think he was talking to me. He said it again as I walked by him. He said it a 3rd time and I finally turned around and realized he was directing this statement to me, he was walking away and told his friend "What!? He looked like Pedro to me!"
Glad my vote didn't go to his party. Completely devastated for my family and friends. I knew he was bringing out a LOT of people who "hate" politics, but to think that he built a platform on fear mongering and hate speech…. and won? Jesus Christ.
KKK is out on the streets celebrating in NC in full garb. Amazing. Absolutely amazing.

senate will flip blue in 2 years, if history holds, so he has 2 years of unfettered power.
I am in the ANGER phase….WTF.. every single fuckin' republican in the country except like 10 had no problem voting for Trump? After all the talk about #NeverTrump.. it was all just bullshit.. they all went along with it…61% of vets voted for Trump.. the guy who skirted Vietnam.. called screwing women in the 70s his Vietnam, insulted John McCain for being a POW etc etc….
WTF is wrong with people…
according to the exits a higher percentage of republicans voted for Trump than the percentage of democrats that voted for Hillary…
oh and lets imagine Trump accepting defeat if he had won the popular vote….
