All I could think last night was...what were people thinking??? 
El, my state voted for Hillary too, so no one can blame us.   

I'm nervously waiting for the stock market to open today.     Could be a disaster.  I sure hope not.

UM, I had to laugh at the "dumber than a box of rocks" comment.  lol  Of course we did have Bush, too.
Well, hopefully Congress won't allow him to mess up too bad.  I'm prayin'.

Sorry world!

I am not political; Had I actually voted it would have been for "None of the above." (Think Brewster's Millions)

Having said that-I can see why Trump won.  People are just plain tired of career politicians.

Guess we will have to see what the next 4 years brings.  I don't expect much.  Aside from executive orders, how much 'power' does the President actually *have*?

He is a cog in a machine.  Changing one part doesn't change the over-all operation of 'the machine'.  A pretty simplistic view-point, but that is how I see it.

I kind of feel the same way Elegance..either way it was hard to feel good about who to vote for.  The people wanted change.

And I think UM ( as I haven't been following the elections too closely) Congress is majority Republican also.

Just because they are also republican, I do not expect them to go along with a lot of what the Trumpet was blowing on about in his campaign speeches... In fact, at least from my view, most  congressional republicans don't like him much either...

That's true UM. A lot of them didn't support him running. New word for what happened. Whitelash.

The people wanted change.

OK I was wrong... It was Clinton who won the popular vote. GRRRRR.  I didn't vote for her, just wondering when it is we are going to put up for a vote on getting rid of the electoral college and have the person who won the most votes win the election??

Yes in it, 'change' is what the people wanted yet what type of change will Trump bring exactly? From what I see his own wife wouldn't be allowed to come in the country either.

As a Native American descendant I take offence at Trump's comments of 'taking our country back'. Who's country? Take it back from what who or what? Seems to me Trump's got quite a few things confused  Isn't Trump too old for a MLC? lol

[in it]

uhhhh yeah hes too old.

 He comes from privilege. He's a narcissist. They are constantly in a MLC. He has issues he hasn't ever dealt with. I just heard on TV how he said his Dad was a great guy.

Donald had a paper route as a child..when it rained the chauffeur took him to the houses.

When Donald was a pre-teen his father sent him to military school. Apparently he felt he needed discipline.

It's a sad day for this country. I'd be really concerned if I were a woman or a minority, yet many of them must have voted for Trump or he wouldn't have won. In fact, I know several women who are proud that they voted for him. Like Thunder, I'm not looking forward to seeing the stock market's response to this lunacy. And yet, part of me is thinking at least we won't have to deal with Hillary as president. WTF?

I'm a little nervous about posting this. Who knows who will be reading through this thread in 6 months looking for "disloyal" Americans?

I feel like someone died today.
