The bottom line is that democracy works when people accepts the outcome of the election. No violence or death or rioting. The loser congratulates the victor and the victor was magnanimous in his acceptance speech. Obama and Trump will meet tomorrow to set up the peaceful transfer of power. No billions of $ was carted out of the country by politicians. Hope our people in Nigeria will take that into effect. Politics ain't do or die.

She won the popular vote which is still sad but a sign of hope that a small number added to the majority of Americans who obviously reject Trump.

We've got a fight on our hands everyone who loves America.It won't be easy as Democrats,we'll be scorned and made the laughing stock of the world as we currently are but let's keep our heads high and see the bigger picture,we must root out hate,misogyny,and divisive politics that has weakened our democracy.

Our best days are ahead.We are Stronger Together.

I debated this issue all day with a few colleagues today. In my opinion, this decision to vote a sexist, racist bigot as POTUS is one of the pitfalls of democracy. Brexit was another pitfall. Inasmuch as democracy is a government of the people, there are times (such as this) when I feel that the people shouldn't be given the freewill to make a decision that is inimical to commonsense. I could be wrong on this.

I'm not American, I'm British; but I'm bothered by this, because this decision to vote Trump will affect the policies of governments around the world, including the British government. Lets hope that the views he vehemently proposed whilst campaigning do not ever get actualized, otherwise my fellow country people back home in Nigeria will struggle to get visas to America. grin

I really think warren will run in 2020. She has a good chance. One of Hillary's problem is that she got 7m less votes than obama which means base was not energized enough.

You're right that the Dem base didn't turn out enough. She got 5% less of the Black vote than Obama; and 6% less of the Latino vote than Obama's 2012 haul. Moreover, when I saw exit polls that put Trump's share of the women vote at 42%, I knew it would be a long night because most polls (before the election) gave him between 33-35% of the female vote. Even White married women voted for him in greater numbers than they did for Romney and McCain(at least 11% more).

With regard to 2020, Warren would be 70 and could be deemed to old to be president by Democrats in general. I believe ageism was a substantial factor in Bernie's loss to Hillary in the primaries. If he was younger than her, he may have well clinched the nomination.
I'm going out on a limb to predict that NY Senator, Kirsten Gillibrand, Sherrod Brown, Governor Martin O' Malley, Cory Booker, California senator-elect Kamala Harris could be strong front-runners for Democrats in 2020.

On the Republican side, Trump's victory has put a premature end to the presidential hopes of Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio, John Kasich, Jeb Bush et al. Pence would be their nominee if Trump declines to run for reelection. But all that could change if the economy goes into a recession/depression within the next four years. Then, the former opponents of Trump would be emboldened to challenge their party's incumbent VP, just as Reagan challenged President Ford in 1976.

Question of the day for conspiracy theorists.

Trump's presidency means their will be substantial support for Israel and the Iran deal is shaky. Does this mean jews still run America since Obama and bibi didnt really get along?

May God add six years plus your remaining years here on earth. Some people who are calling Trump a racist here, are the actual racist themselves. Obama is black but the only legacy he and Hillary left for Africa was to destroy and gloried in the destruction of Libya, as well as the refusal to designate Boko Haram as a terrorist organization. Call it hypocritical wickedness. The worst part of it is that it was under a black president that the US witness a record killing of blacks by racist and kkk infested mad cops, and the sellout president did nothing about it. The economic fortunes of African American communities grew worse under a black president, with increased violence becoming the norm of daily living in African American neighborhoods.

Now, how do you expect them to come out and vote when they have been repeatedly lied to and neglected, even by their own brother?

What happened in this election is simply more of a protest vote, not that Trump was more credible than Hilary.

There is a limit a man can go when pushed to the wall; be sure to see last gasp show of indifference, and that's exactly what this election was about - despite all the wrong things Trump said and did, he still got elected.

Hell has no fury like the backlash from an indifferent voter.



One origin for you. I said it from the beginning but I was laughed at.

Right on! Appleyard. Good to see you here.

The vote fraud was EPIC, but they never expected so many to turn out for Trump, they underestimated the anger of good Americans.

God really answers prayers.

It's time for Amerika to return to godly values and Trump being an old man, with little time left on this side of the Divide, will certainly commence the process and reverse the slide to the dark side epitomised by the blood letting lot.

Truly, God is great!

I greet you, dear brother. Truly, God is great. To Him be glory and praise forever. The United States was founded on the principles of Godly reverence, but today, they have kicked out God and brought in Satan to the homes, schools and everything else. But its never too late, for God is not finish with that country yet. Now we can breath a sigh of relief as the fear of a global war just subsided by 65 degrees. The demons of war are foaming right now, as their human puppet agent is failing them one by one. For when the devil begins a move, the Holy Spirit is always on hand to counter it, making a public show of them. Once again, God has given another chance to make amends before the nuclear winter gathers again.

On this note, I hope and pray that Trump contribute much to global peace as earlier promised. The human race must take advantage of this momentum.

God bless us all.

No, my Jewish priend, your best days died yesterday when Trump disgraced the entire Clinton Machines & news media. grin I wish the Amerikans will sing “Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead” at the demise of Killary’s “Political Funeral” just as the British people sang it at Margaret Thatcher’s funeral ……… Good riddance. grin

Proverbs 29:2 - When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn. grin

Take heart my priend. If only you had taken my advice & memorised these words “President Trump” weeks ago, you wouldn't be in limbo by now. grin

It's astonishing, Trump surpassed expectations. The problem with folks who've been finding dis victory hard to digest is DAT they have been swallowing d bias media narrative of Trump ever since dis campaign started. The silent majority have always been with Trump as opposed to d ones d media have been projecting. Even d mainstream have acknowledged their mistake.
