Nice post. I wish I could feel this optimistic so soon.


As I said elsewhere, Trump is going to be a target of the media he slammed for a year and a half. They will be digging up and broadcasting so much crap that I think he's going to regret ever running. Trump played "You Can't Always Get What You Want" at this rallies. Sometimes you get what you want, and then wish you hadn't.

Yeah, and I wonder how the population (well, the GOP part of it) will react when all three branches of gov't are GOP controlled and things go south. Who will they have to blame then?

My bets are on Obama. They might as well. It's worked so well for them in the past.

They would have done the same thing with Clinton, had she won.

Yes, in general, but there are some differences, which was how I interpreted grindael's statement that Trump would be a target of the media.

The example I can't get out of my head is Trump's mocking of the disabled reporter. That was disrespectful and inappropriate in the extreme, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't know of an incident where Clinton behaved that way on the campaign trail.

If they didn't impeach her first and "lock her up". :wink:
