She will be president in four years.

Yep. Just like all the people defrauded by Trump University, they will no divide into two camps. Those willing to admit that they got nothing they were promised and were conned and those who will refuse to admit they got nothing they were promised and will claim that it was a great deal even though they know it was a con.

The guy isn't even in office yet and it is already obvious that every Trump voter got rooked.

No, no , no, no. We didn't get rooked. We have already raked in the jackpot. Anything else after this is a bonus.

Speaking for myself, I always said that I had no idea what Trump would do if he got elected. I hope he builds the wall and appoints some Constitutionalists to the Supreme Court, but I wouldn't even bet a nickel on that. I will admit that others believe he will deliver on a lot more than that, but Republican voters are accustomed to being stabbed in the back by the people we elect, so it won't be that big of a shock.

Here's what we already won:

1. Kept the most corrupt candidate to ever run for President out of office. You're welcome!

2. Destroyed two political dynasties in one shot, the Bushes and the Clintons.

3. Kept the Republican Establishment guys out of the White House. Short-lived perhaps, but it feels good to get it done even for a week.

4. Proved that you can win by being politically incorrect. Do not underestimate what this means moving forward.

5. Proved that there is a huge silent group of people who will vote to reform government, even if the people who make promises to get in power stab us in the back. We're still here.

6. Proved that the MSM does NOT have the power to choose the President.

7. Proved that we DO NOT have to go along with unrestricted illegal immigration and open borders to get elected.

Even if Trump morphs into Bill Clinton II, which I think is highly likely, the victories will still be there, the forces which created them will still be there, the clear path that Trump blazed through the woods will still be there for others to follow, and the lesson that crapping on half the country for decades might get you thrown out of power will still be there.

A faithless Trump is to be expected. The fact that we got this far is already an unprecedented accomplishment.

This^^^ is so unintelligent

That's funny DiscoGay. You are saying that lying to everyone was okay because of the outcome. The end justifies the means. That is the same thing you said that Clinton did with her foreign policy. Did you attend Trump University?

No. The lesson is that Trump got elected because of what he said. If it turns out to be lies, it doesn't change the fact that people voted for the message. This shouldn't be hard to understand, but you're letting your hatred for Trump and his supporters get in the way of clear thinking. But then, I think that's all we're going to get out of the left for the next four years, so I am not expecting any more from you.

There will be some lonely voices on the left trying to tell you guys that demonizing the right is part of the reason you lost, and that maybe you should dial that back a bit. They are already out there. You should listen to those voices because that's the way forward for all of us.

"We did nothing but demonize Obama for 8 years, but since we're in charge now you should be nice. But you won't because you are all hell-spawn bent on destroying everything."

He's a Trumper. What did you expect?

DiscoGay paid but never went to class. It was a donation to his Donald made through the school so that Trump could write the tuition off against other business losses.

The world must be a very confusing place from your point of view. You know, after Trump won I came back here to see if any of my leftist friends here showed any signs of learning something. I haven't found it yet. It disappoints me, but doesn't surprise me.

I will keep watching, and if it happens I won't miss it. If I understand HOW it happened then I will have found the Holy Grail of politics. I'm predicting it won't happen.

It is very confusing. It is confusing that so many people can so effectively shelter themselves and buffer against all dissenting opinions while twisting logic however they see fit to reaffirm their own beliefs.

You continually demonize "Them" and then expect them to play nice. You think YOU are always are in the right and THEY are wrong. You say they should listen to you, while you are completely unwilling to extend the same courtesy. This phenomenon is prevalent on both sides, and why this election was going to result in ~20-25% of the country being stark raving mad no matter who won.

"This is a war we can't win...after 10,000 years it's still 'Us' against 'Them'."

Clinton's corruption doesn't even rate in the historical ranks, but leaving that stuff aside:

you get a fraud as president, a conman, who has brought in the "political establishment" to the White House already. Look at who he has already:

Reince Priebus, head of the RNC, Jeff Sessions, Republican Senator, Rudy Giuliani, Republican presidential candidate and frequent RNC speaker, he's interviewed Mitt Romney, he's acted buddy-buddy with Mitch McConnell.

Anti-establishment was a joke in the first place for a billionaire, but you can see the Republican lifers lining up at his door, and getting admitted.

yes, it's very smart to trade away real things for symbolic victory!

It's a well known adage in politics that "elections are about screwing over your enemies while governing is about screwing over your friends."

Why did Trump win?

One of the best posts in the history of LetsRun.com. Do you live near Baltimore? We should be friends. I'll buy you a beer.

There are already contracts out for THE WALL.

on top of that...

Trump's plan for his first 100 days in office.

The plan (below) outlines three main areas of focus: cleaning up Washington, including by imposing term limits on Congress; protecting American workers; and restoring rule of law. He also laid out his plan for working with Congress to introduce 10 pieces of legislation that would repeal Obamacare, fund the construction of a wall at the Southern border (with a provision that Mexico would reimburse the U.S.), encourage infrastructure investment, rebuild military bases, promote school choice and more.

* FIRST, propose a Constitutional Amendment to impose term limits on all members of Congress;

* SECOND, a hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health);

* THIRD, a requirement that for every new federal regulation, two existing regulations must be eliminated;

* FOURTH, a 5 year-ban on White House and Congressional officials becoming lobbyists after they leave government service;

* FIFTH, a lifetime ban on White House officials lobbying on behalf of a foreign government;

* SIXTH, a complete ban on foreign lobbyists raising money for American elections.

On the same day, I will begin taking the following 7 actions to protect American workers:

* FIRST, I will announce my intention to renegotiate NAFTA or withdraw from the deal under Article 2205

* SECOND, I will announce our withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership

* THIRD, I will direct my Secretary of the Treasury to label China a currency manipulator

* FOURTH, I will direct the Secretary of Commerce and U.S. Trade Representative to identify all foreign trading abuses that unfairly impact American workers and direct them to use every tool under American and international law to end those abuses immediately

* FIFTH, I will lift the restrictions on the production of $50 trillion dollars' worth of job-producing American energy reserves, including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal.

* SIXTH, lift the Obama-Clinton roadblocks and allow vital energy infrastructure projects, like the Keystone Pipeline, to move forward

* SEVENTH, cancel billions in payments to U.N. climate change programs and use the money to fix America's water and environmental infrastructure

Additionally, on the first day, I will take the following five actions to restore security and the constitutional rule of law:

* FIRST, cancel every unconstitutional executive action, memorandum and order issued by President Obama

* SECOND, begin the process of selecting a replacement for Justice Scalia from one of the 20 judges on my list, who will uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States

* THIRD, cancel all federal funding to Sanctuary Cities

* FOURTH, begin removing the more than 2 million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that won't take them back

* FIFTH, suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur. All vetting of people coming into our country will be considered extreme vetting.

Next, I will work with Congress to introduce the following broader legislative measures and fight for their passage within the first 100 days of my Administration:

Middle Class Tax Relief And Simplification Act. An economic plan designed to grow the economy 4% per year and create at least 25 million new jobs through massive tax reduction and simplification, in combination with trade reform, regulatory relief, and lifting the restrictions on American energy. The largest tax reductions are for the middle class. A middle-class family with 2 children will get a 35% tax cut. The current number of brackets will be reduced from 7 to 3, and tax forms will likewise be greatly simplified. The business rate will be lowered from 35 to 15 percent, and the trillions of dollars of American corporate money overseas can now be brought back at a 10 percent rate.

End The Offshoring Act. Establishes tariffs to discourage companies from laying off their workers in order to relocate in other countries and ship their products back to the U.S. tax-free.

American Energy & Infrastructure Act. Leverages public-private partnerships, and private investments through tax incentives, to spur $1 trillion in infrastructure investment over 10 years. It is revenue neutral.

School Choice And Education Opportunity Act. Redirects education dollars to give parents the right to send their kid to the public, private, charter, magnet, religious or home school of their choice. Ends common core, brings education supervision to local communities. It expands vocational and technical education, and make 2 and 4-year college more affordable.

Repeal and Replace Obamacare Act. Fully repeals Obamacare and replaces it with Health Savings Accounts, the ability to purchase health insurance across state lines, and lets states manage Medicaid funds. Reforms will also include cutting the red tape at the FDA: there are over 4,000 drugs awaiting approval, and we especially want to speed the approval of life-saving medications.

Affordable Childcare and Eldercare Act. Allows Americans to deduct childcare and elder care from their taxes, incentivizes employers to provide on-side childcare services, and creates tax-free Dependent Care Savings Accounts for both young and elderly dependents, with matching contributions for low-income families.

End Illegal Immigration Act Fully-funds the construction of a wall on our southern border with the full understanding that the country Mexico will be reimbursing the United States for the full cost of such wall; establishes a 2-year mandatory minimum federal prison sentence for illegally re-entering the U.S. after a previous deportation, and a 5-year mandatory minimum for illegally re-entering for those with felony convictions, multiple misdemeanor convictions or two or more prior deportations; also reforms visa rules to enhance penalties for overstaying and to ensure open jobs are offered to American workers first.

Restoring Community Safety Act. Reduces surging crime, drugs and violence by creating a Task Force On Violent Crime and increasing funding for programs that train and assist local police; increases resources for federal law enforcement agencies and federal prosecutors to dismantle criminal gangs and put violent offenders behind bars.

Restoring National Security Act. Rebuilds our military by eliminating the defense sequester and expanding military investment; provides Veterans with the ability to receive public VA treatment or attend the private doctor of their choice; protects our vital infrastructure from cyber-attack; establishes new screening procedures for immigration to ensure those who are admitted to our country support our people and our values

Clean up Corruption in Washington Act. Enacts new ethics reforms to Drain the Swamp and reduce the corrupting influence of special interests on our politics.

On November 8th, Americans will be voting for this 100-day plan to restore prosperity to our economy, security to our communities, and honesty to our government.

This is my pledge to you.

HRC was a particularly uninspiring candidate with plenty of baggage who's main argument was "the other guy sucks". For a "historic election that could change the course of history" there was a pretty low turnout along with a decent amount of 3rd party voters (myself included).

Average Democrat (Biden et al.) probably would have beaten Trump comfortably (just as Average Republican would have beaten HRC), especially considering Obama's recent favorability ratings. If allowed, Obama running for a third term would have won going away as well, in spite of the inevitable "King Obama" fear-mongering.

That and $5.37 (or however much it is now) will get you something at Starbucks.
