Trump is a hero right now but he can quickly turn to zero - exhibit Prez Obama in his initial term. He has a lot on his plate that he has promised to do. |

Timbuktou, Mindfulness, you two should just get a room to do the needful and ease the tension. Your banter is cracking me up. You both have raised some salients points though. If I was an American, I don't know who I would have voted because we have a Misogynist and racist on one hand; A criminal (although only accused) and warmonger on the other hand. Hillary has done many harms when he was in the Senate and also SoS. Who knows if we would have peaceful middle east and Libya without her actions. The Donald on the other hand was just a loose cannon who talks without thinking. How will you deport 11 million immigrants? Do you know what this will do to the economy? Someone who doesn't think climate change isn't real and is only being propagated by the Chinese? I guess it was a case of lesser evil in this past election. Throughout this campaign, Hillary's team never really bothered to talk about/hammer on her policies; all they did was attack the Donald and play the gender/race card (the only reason I'm happy she lost) which in turn is only going to create a us versus them thinking to the public. Funny thing is, Trump may even surprise everyone and not even be as bad as he was during the campaign. He has been known to speak from both sides of his mouth. Afterall he has donated to Clinton's foundation and also donated for her when she was in Senate (they are both new yorkers) and he has also identified as a democrat in the past too. All in all, the next 4 years will be fun to watch. America either implodes or be great again. 3 Likes |

Kirinwa: It was the white women who brought about the idea of feminism and sold it to the black women. These same white women (majority of them) turned their backs on the black women and voted in Trump (although I'm not saying they should have voted on Hillary based on gender alone). This is how these white people keep selling these ideology to us and we we'll be carrying it on our heads like they were the ones that formed it in the first place. meanwhile the white people will drop this same ideology when it does favor them. They did the same thing to us with religion too. Now they've dropped religion would we are still caring it on our heads. I'm really sorry for the black race, we keep following these people every where while they leave us behind. 2 Likes |

bukatyne:This is not true, the analysis you might be referencing must have stated that Trump out performed previous GOP Presidential nominees in these demography. Hillary out performed him with these groups, but under performed Obama with these groups. Many democrats crossed over to vote for Trump, and many sat it out; also the Sander's effect affected her, the FBI interference also hurted her. What PMB is currently to many low income people voted for him and are now wailing will happen in the US very shortly. When they revoke Obamacare, 20mil ppl will lose coverage, same with the other social services. It is crazy that union families voted heavily for him many becos they falsely believed that he will bring back manufacturing jobs from Mexico and China whereas this guy is against union and they will start gutting unions anytime now. 1 Like |

carammel: It would be a great disservice to the nation if women voted based on genda only, especially when the woman in question is extremely crooked. Lots of women voted trump because they did not want Hillary's mess. Hillary was the problem not her genda. I'd bet my last kobo that any other woman would have won hands down. 1 Like |

This means that women only show they love their fellow women outwardly but deep within them,they would never support a woman to become a leader. Modern-feminism will have a hard time staying. my dear u are right. deep within them is jealousy. How 'll she rule us God forbid I rather give it to an embesil than her. it happened to me. I eventually won from d support of the male counterparts nd very few ladies. but it wasn't easy. I suffered in Der hand. disobedience , ill manners,and jealousy. women ! we be problem. May God help us |

One important lesson from the U.S elections is the realization that most women, irrespective of country like to be treated like trash. He demeaned tons of women in the U.S and they still voted for him. Makes you wonder. 1 Like |

carammel:This No 7 point by the OP which you quoted is a pure distortion of facts. Infact it's the other way round. Majority of women, blacks and Latinos voted for Hillary ahead of Trump, but not as overwhelmingly as they did for Obama in both 2008 and 2012, which is quite understandable as Obama belonged to one of these minority groups unlike Clinton who though was canvassing for their interest but can never seen as one of them. Here is a link by Pew, a research agency that did the demographics of the voters in terms of age, race, gender and education. www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/11/09/behind-trumps-victory-divisions-by-race-gender-education/ |

Onegai:You saw all these, but failed to see the violent protests and physical assaults meted on innocent people by "Saint" Hillary's supporters. Hypocrisy! President-elect Trump has come to stay , and no criticism, insults, protests or whining can stop him from taking the White House . The same way you and Hillary's supporters believed strongly she was the better candidate that's the way Trump's supporters thought of their candidate, only they were more in number in many states as regards the electoral college votes. And if anybody thinks that a man who was chosen by his own people according to the constitution should not be president, then there is no respect for the rule of law and the constitution...a behavior embodied by Hillary with her email scandals and Houdini-like escapes from justice. For God's sake this man did not stage a coup and seize power. He was duly elected. Please suck it up and live with it! Long live and a successful tenure President Trump. |

"If a Trump can beat a Clinton, then a Kardashian could trump a Kennedy" I find the comments below from "The New Yorker" interesting... [b]In the coming days, commentators will attempt to normalize this event. They will try to soothe their readers and viewers with thoughts about the “innate wisdom” and “essential decency” of the American people. They will downplay the virulence of the nationalism displayed, the cruel decision to elevate a man who rides in a gold-plated airliner but who has staked his claim with the populist rhetoric of blood and soil. George Orwell, the most fearless of commentators, was right to point out that public opinion is no more innately wise than humans are innately kind. People can behave foolishly, recklessly, self-destructively in the aggregate just as they can individually. Sometimes all they require is a leader of cunning, a demagogue who reads the waves of resentment and rides them to a popular victory. “The point is that the relative freedom which we enjoy depends of public opinion,” Orwell wrote in his essay “Freedom of the Park.” “The law is no protection. Governments make laws, but whether they are carried out, and how the police behave, depends on the general temper in the country. If large numbers of people are interested in freedom of speech, there will be freedom of speech, even if the law forbids it; if public opinion is sluggish, inconvenient minorities will be persecuted, even if laws exist to protect them.”[/b] http://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/an-american-tragedy-2? 1 Like |
