Presidential Election Aftermath: What Now / What Next?

Will there be a concession speech

 

I voted for Johnson by mail a few weeks ago, but felt like I wanted Hillary to win. But as the day went on, I realized that wasn't the case and I couldn't help but pull for Trump.

I'm obviously still concerned, but I'm hopeful. Let's see how these victory/concession speeches play out. After the Republican primary, Trump was actually very classy and did a relatively decent job of uniting the party. I hope he can do the same.

It's insane watching CNN and hearing how rational they are while eating crow. A far cry from where they've been the past few months. I really like what Van Jones said. The country needs to stop being naive and come together. On the left, there are some who genuinely have a perception that they will be he targets of bigotry. That can't happen and Trump needs to make this clear and stop all the vague racist BS. On the right, there are many who feel that they're issues are continuing to be marginalized and they're being simplistically labeled as racists for supporting Trump. That also can't happen.

But the main thing is, the democratic establishment absolutely needs to get their crap together.

 

I guess not

 

I find it funny that many trump supporters voted for Trump to "drain the swamp", but who just gave one party, who has been in control of government (except for the presidency), for the last six years, the keys to the government.

 

through all this, its nice to see that hillary's political career is all but done. she'll most likely fade into obscurity

just like all of trump's promises

 

Yea I will say this as someone who did vote for Hillary Clinton, she was a horrible candidate.

Donald Trump literally did everything wrong and he still won:

- Zero ground game
- Zero outreach to minorities
- Zero financies
- Zero establishment support
- Media against him

 

I normally try to stay away from political discussions. Everyone has opinions, are passionate about them and everyone else's is wrong.

But, I feel like this was choosing the lesser of two evils but not sure exactly who that was. Hillary is mared by her scandals and corruptions. Trump gives me no hope for the future of this country, especially with its foreign issues.

I am though curious about a Trump presidency, was he just playing the role the media painted for him and will continue so or will he at least be more sensible. Hillary has been in politics her entire life and she couldn't even beat this guy. I'm mostly fearful of the Republicans holding the house and the senate, and Trump has to fill empty seats of the Supreme Court.

I have no idea where I'm going with this... but I think we'll end up alright in the end. We might have to ride through hell, lose a tire and have to walk the rest of the way but we'll figure it out; America usually does.

 

Just realized Mike Pence will be VP.

****

 

That's gonna be so so funny, you guise... The comic value alone should skyrocket several careers (much like it probably did with G.W).

On a more serious note... can't believe you guys selected that clown.

 

trump's win shows just how fed up americans are with corruption in government. him winning is pretty much a huge middle finger to big govt

oh well, good luck with that clown for the next 4 years

 

All I have to say is:

 

I think people who struggles are looking for alternatives ( even the bad ones) without thinking unfortunately twice and about the consequences ... instead of voting for the obvious/regular politics who have done little to none through many years ...

It's understandable ...

 

Sure the Brexit was a much smarter decision ...
