It is a wake.
They'll have to melt the crown down.
It's going to be fun. I think that Trump more than any other candidate had better stick to the promises or he'll become a one term president.

Now that he won, the real work begins I thought that he really does want the best for the country. He didn't have to get into politics and spend his our money to do it. He has a great business, a great family, and more $$ than he could spend

I thought Hillary was a great danger to our country and needed to be defeated. And tonight she WAS defeated.

I think he's done it Herb! They're tweeting out pics from 5th Avenue right now, at Hillary's camp it looks like a wake.

It might be a tad early but , congratulations term2
You have been the staunchest Trump supporter I have seen in the gulch!

The every day Joe is speaking in small town USA saying to the katie perry, Miley Cyrus and Rosie O'Donnell and the rest of the elites mocking their problems and concerns
Giving a nod to a trump and a one finger salute to the kakistocrats.

I am also a recent admirer, as I have said before Donald Trump has withstood more relentless abuse from the media and pop culture than any candidate in my opinion. has grown substantially and often mentioned many common sense approaches to our country's issues. I am encouraged by the early election projections.

Very appropriate. Those blue collar white guys that he appeals to are the forgotten voters.

He was famous and popular and women threw themselves at him, too.
But yes, Bill Clinton was a sexual predator.
No doubt.

But not your guy. He was different.

Okaay. I got nothin' WS.
People see what they want to see and hear what they want to hear.

I have too Herb. Buffoons don't create $10 billion business empires. I would like to see the balance sheets of those who call him that. He can be justly criticized on plenty of issues, such as free trade, and we can complain about his anti-intellectualism, but I think we have to remember he spent his life as a businessman, not a politician or philosopher. Which brings to mind a quote of Ayn Rand's to the effect that "the reason most Americans are so anti-intellectual is because so many intellectuals are anti-American."

I have no candidate that is on the ticket so I certainty do not think my write in will win. While I did not vote for Johnson I would still like to see him get 5%, or even 10%. Even if it means Hillary wins. We wont change things until people stop thinking binary in elections, because as long as we vote against someone rather than for someone we will not get a good person in.

By good I mean someone who respects the idea that the same rule of law applies to all, small constitutionally limited federal government and capitalism (which means truly free markets).

Does that person even exist in politics for the office of president any longer? Not so sure they do. Our politics have slid so far to the liberal socialist side that even the less socialist are also socialist lights. Not sure we will ever see a good option again until the nonsense leads to something catastrophic that humbles us and makes us face reality as a culture.

I am likely destine to write in someone for president for the rest of my future voting years.

Just in the interest of clarity, he said "they let you" talking about how some women throw themselves at the famous. Not actually sexual assault.

That would be Bill Clinton.

Serial sexual assault is a bye these days?

He bragged on grabbing their crotch. Just another perk of being the billionaire in the room.

For Trump to have gotten as far as he has is a miracle in itself. Should he win the election it would be a tribute to his stamina, if nothing else. He was everywhere all the time while Clinton spent more and more millions without ever catching up with him. His bulldog tenacity illustrates how he became a billionaire. You may call him a buffoon, or several other less pleasant names, but personally, I have come to admire him.

I'm not at all confident that my candidate will win, but I'm hopeful that he gets at least 5% of the vote.

I don't think I've ever seen an election where so many people on both sides were so confident their candidate would win.

I think the electoral college is a sham. It needs to be eliminated as it gives some of us more of a vote than others, depending on where we live, Its like the superdelegates that the dems had in their primary. Its fodder for the crooked to manipulate. I think Trump will win the popular vote but lose the electoral vote. Too bad for all of us if that happens.

When the choice is between a buffoon and a criminal I will chose the buffoon every time. Less mischief that way.

That is because the "progressives" (liberal-socialists) have taken over the education system. Students are taught that making money and corporations are evil nefarious people who pollute the planet and hoard all the money. Even if we changed that right now, it will take 20-30 years for it to take effect.

I shall forlorn hope step into the breech to vote for upholding not The Donald so much as salvaging preserving a rule by law Constitution and a sanely balanced Supreme Court..

Thank you. And here's to "the forlorn hope."

The trolling mouse coward strikes again. +1 by the title.

I am hoping we can spot Trump a couple of points due to the amount of people who won't admit they are voting for him. I agree completely with your larger point about educating the young... that's the only long term solution. Even with $20 trillion in debt hanging over their heads due to this generation of socialists, millennials still warm to it due to the altruist-collectivist indoctrination they've had since they entered grade school.

Me dino be thinking of the "forlorn hope" in Bernard Cornwell's Richard Sharpe series of novels mostly about the First Napoleonic War.
Want a promotion badly enough? Volunteer to attack that first breech made in a French fort's walls.
Most of those who "goes into the breech" with that group called "the forlorn hope" gets killed.
Yeah, not everyone can be that Richard Sharpe fictional character.

I doubt it. The electoral college map does not look good for Trump. The Dems seem to have the big states (Northeast, Californai, North West & Illinois). Republicans have more states but with smaller electoral college counts (Except Texas). Very hard for a republican to get to 270. Bush barely did it in 2000 and 2004. Since then the electorate has changed and has become more liberal/socialist. We need to get more college students reading and understanding Ayn Rand.
