Now that's just being mean...
That said, I do think Trump himself deserves a bit of credit; he picked a strong team, had a good strategy, and he owned the media with his outrageous tweeting and twaddle.
What nearly everyone failed to recognize (myself included) was how Trump truly understands how the media works. He deserves a fair bit of the credit.
It wasn't just about Hillary being an incredibly shit candidate who has almost single handedly destroyed the Democratic party. (Obama deserves some credit for that as well)
Eight years it is then.
they lost like they lost in 2004 against that dumb boy GW Bush, because they choose an overly ambitious shit candidate, last time it was Kerry, this time HRCThe focus should not be on how Trump won, but what the Democrats did to lose.

And this is honestly why Trump being President isn't going to be a big deal, relatively speaking. Clinton was the alternative and had absolutely zero justification for being president. Decades of running for President and I never once felt like she came close to answering the question: "Why are you worthy of being President"?Originally Posted by longway
Agreed, and both times they had the chance to elect candidates that were far superior (Dean in '04, Sanders in '16). A lot of similarities in terms of the primary selection in those two cycles. Democrats beat themselves with absolute turds for candidates both times.Originally Posted by Dragonfly
No, it was.Originally Posted by Mr Earl
And before that the attrocious windbag, Al Gore!
And recall, the only reason Clinton beat HWBush was thanks to pip-squeak Ross Perot!
And of course poor old bob dole never had a chance!
The DNC is toast!
As are the tired old bought and sold rethug political hacks.
Could this really be the dawning of the age of Aquarius?
Love, brotherhood, unity and integrity!

^Attention WalMart shoppers! Earl is playing his old worn out Hair vinyl again.
The nasty women of the DNC who attempted an electoral coup by preventing any real challenge to their annointed vagina. And the RNC were ready to commence the ritualistic battle, punch and judy style, with the same hands controlling each puppet with jeb.And this is honestly why Trump being President isn't going to be a big deal, relatively speaking.

Then along comes Trump...who has smashed it all up; revealing all.
Bernie had the right ideas, but you need heathen like trump to put those ideas into action. They would have eaten him alive in DC.Sanders in '16
He is the first barbarian to build a wall, not knock one down.

And he is the very first president who isn't a bought and sold political hack or a military man!
Also Trump is a genuine leader of men and women.
Let's hope the CIA doesn't assassinate him!
He is up against some mighty powerful players in the military industrial, agriculture and big pharma world.
Perhaps they will continue to underestimate the Donald.
How so?
As far as the electorate goes, an electorate that chooses a man that is uncouth, not so bright (brighter than Bush Jr I'll concede), unscrupulous in business dealings, talks down to everyone, is arrogant, a philanderer, .....and on goes the unflattering list, speaks volumes of that electorate.
As far as the system (electoral college) goes, well, when a candidate that got the national popular vote loses, then how can it be called a democracy?
You're simply parroting one sided lame-stream fake media, which was rendered irrelevant the moment Trump won.
For once in our lifetimes the voice of the people was heard.
It is indeed a historic event the lame media does not want you to acknowledge.
A president not owned by the big corporations, hard to imagine...but that's the way it is!
How do we know who he's indebted to? He refused to release his tax filings.Originally Posted by Mr Earl
Ok, so you say doubling the minimum wage will also drive up the upper wages(&7.50 to $15.00)which by all rights it should, and being fair that would put the $25.00 an hour wages at $50.00, now what effect do you think this will have on consumer pricing can we say, way up. So in essence what has been gained?
Maybe a better scenario would be to bring skilled jobs back, teach people they need a marketable skill and a decent work ethic to be economically successful,and do away with the illegal non skilled workers to give room for the young Americans to find jobs that can finance schooling to learn a skill.
Proves nothing except that anyone can keep up with his Twitter feed and see what he puts up there. Decide on their own if what he is doing is calculated or off the cuff.Originally Posted by RPETER65
The eve of this historical inauguration will be the 19th of this month. In spite of what you think, I am not very concerned about Trump's presidency.Originally Posted by Mr Earl
What I am concerned about is the high tension between the USA and Russia.
We will know soon enough what is in the intelligence report and what Trump has to say about what he will be told tomorrow.
^ and ^^ So true, and You don't mess with anyone who has 4490 nuclear warheads (that we know of). We don't have to like Putin but we do have to either co-exist with him (as Trump wisely understands) or not exist at all. Also unlike North Korea, no one seriously doubts Russia does have the ability to deliver them.
"The exact number of nuclear warheads is a state secret and is therefore a matter of guesswork. The Federation of American Scientists estimates that Russia possesses 4,490 nuclear warheads, while the U.S. has 4,500;"

Stanley Black & Decker, one of the U.S.A.’s most well known hand and power tool manufacturers, has unveiled plans to move some manufacturing back to the U.S. after the election of Donald J. Trump to the White House.
In remarks to investors during a Thursday conference call, Stanley Black & Decker CEO James Loree said it just makes “business sense” to move manufacturing back to the U.S., especially given the uncertainty of trade relations with China and Mexico, USA Today reported.
“It’s going to be advisable to have more manufacturing in the U.S.,” Loree added.
“We believe this is an excellent opportunity to re-Americanize and revitalize this legendary brand,” he concluded.
Stanley Black & Decker has been slowly increasing jobs in the U.S. for the past several years. Its current level of some 3,000 workers is already up 800 from 2013. It is not yet known how many more jobs the company will be bringing to the U.S. as a result of its latest announcement.
The remarks come after the company announced the impending purchase of the Sears Craftsman tool line for about $900 million after Sears suffered another round of setbacks which will include the closing of at least 150 more stores.
Stanley Black & Decker is not alone in a sudden interest in re-investing in the U.S. since the election of Donald J. Trump.
Only days ago at the start of the new year, Ford Motors announced it was canceling plans to build new manufacturing facilities in Mexico and will instead re-invest in America.
But Ford is only the latest. A whole list of companies have already promised to bring investment and jobs to America since Trump’s election.
Immediately after Trump’s big November win, such companies as Carrier, SoftBank, U.S. Steel, and IBM all announced major additions to the U.S. job market.
