Trump victory spurs protests nationwide

How are the democrats supposed to stop anything at all if they got nothing?

Meh, I disagree with the conclusion. I think Trump will turn out to be such a disaster that buyer's remorse will end up being almost certain. But that's just my personal prediction.

He'll be worst than Bush 43. The most scandalous president ever. Press will know. Especially when his aids go on late night tic tac runs.

There are rules in both the house and senate

They will have limited power in a few areas

Just as the republicans had limited power in Obama's first two years

Sorry but I don't see how the democrats hold any power at all.

Here's what I say to them, even though I despise Trump and am scared as hell of what's going to happen:

TOUGH SH!T!!!

How dare you sit on your asses and don't get out to vote when Donald 'f'ing Trump was a possibility.

I don't want to hear anything from the African American Community, who turned in lesser numbers for this election than they did for Obama. I don't want to hear Latinos whining about what happens to the illegals because they didn't turn out in big enough numbers either.

Women? Same damn thing.

You people stayed at home and now you reap what you've sow.

Thankfully I live in California and am a professional white male. It's not about anyone else's skin anymore but my own and that of my family's. If this people are so upset, then they should be protesting outside the doors of those who couldn't be bothered to mail in a g'damn ballot.

Its Cali, so its Blue no matter what. I heard they want to secede.

Lol ! When Texans were talking about seccession the Left claimed it was tantamount to a declaration of war.

These people should have showed up to vote. Hillary received 6 million fewer votes than Barack and Trump got a million less than Romney. So, there were 7 million fewer voters this time around than in 2012. And, if we go back to 2008--she had 10 million fewer votes than Obama.

So, maybe they should start by figuring out why so many people took a pass on voting this year.

I heard that Hillary's concession speech was delivered by email. :mrgreen:

To be fair, from what I've seen, Hillary's concession speech was as appropriate tone as Trump's victory speech was presidential.
Both were conciliatory, which I think is most appropriate for the occasion.

I saw only a portion of Hillary's speech, but... she was human! I thought it was heartfelt and well done.
 
Team America needs a sequel

I wonder how many of them did not bother voting themselves?

I think that's just the way the game is played now. I don't like it--I certainly didn't like it when the Republicans did it. But what's the alternative? The Dems can't just roll over. And look what obstinance has done for the GOP. It worked for them. Any thinking by the Dems that if they work with Republicans, that such cooperation will be reciprocated down the road would be naive in the extreme.

At this point though, I give up. Trump is going to be the face of the nation for at least four years, but none of his policies should affect my rights one wit. I've been in the Army and I'm too old to get drafted back in. My two older kids aren't going because one is too old, the other ineligible, and my youngest is severely asthmatic, so military service is right out for all of them. Plus they're all white. I take the bar exam in July so my second career kicks off around this time next year. Things like trade wars, declining markets, etc. shouldn't affect me all that much considering the fields I'm choosing to work in. And if there are mass deportations, so be it. I casted my vote against Trump, but not enough people saw it that would be affected by it couldn't be bothered to vote, so whatever.

Nothing short of nuclear war scares me. It's those who didn't get out and vote who should be scared. But that's on them.

So you want them to do the very thing that they criticized Republicans so thoroughly for. I believe that's called..... hypocrisy. I'm not too happy about President Trump either. But I'm going to be a grown up about it and I hope the Democrats will too. And don't forget, the filibuster rule was changed. But by all means continue to post like an angry hack that wants to lash out because he didn't like the election results. Scorched-earth politics is an ugly business where even the winners lose.

Hypocrisy?

If you shoot at someone, and then see they're about to fire back, you have no right to tell them to hold their fire.

This is the way the game is played now. Democrats need to "Make Trump a one term President." That should be their goal. Block everything he proposes, even if they agree with it--even if it would be good for the nation.

The GOP spent 8 years obstructing the function of the government and weaseled their way into a Supreme Court majority, and now they're going to ask the Democrats to play nice?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

The Dems spent 8 years obstructing the function of the government and blah blah blah during GW Bush; then blamed him for 8 more years to cover up for the social justice warrior they voted into office

Hypocrisy is the rule of the day for some it seems.
 
She spoke with class. Did good.

I'm all for it. They would lose their electoral influence in future US elections.

Trumps victory is as much as the DNCs fault as anyone's. They chose her and then undercut sanders to insure she won the nomination. Ironically, they preferred Trump over any other GOP candidate. He was supposed to be easy to beat and he would have, had they run just about anyone else other than Hillary.
 
I mean a majority of Americans didn't vote for him right? I would protest as well if I was them, let Trump know that they will not stand by and let them ban gay marriage, abortion etc.
