2016 Election Coverage: Aka Every Way You Look at it You Lose.

I would be willing to bet that less than 50 percent of the protesters actually voted. Actually, probably less than 40 percent just going by the numbers of who came to vote.

But they are somehow justified in their protesting......

They are Liberals, what do you expect? Their brain doesn't function more than we need to look down on little people mentality because their mental capacity is lower than ours.

I'm not watching the news so don't really know what's going on, but Trump and many of his supporters promised to do the exact same thing if Hillary won.

My advice is to avoid the news for a while.

Trump said he wouldn't accept the results if he lost if he believed things were shady. If things were on the "up and up" he was content with the results. Where were all these protests when Obama won in 08 and 12? All the walk outs of classes and cry ins going?

There were no protests because he was clearly the better option and won the popular vote both times.

There were no protests because the right isn't comprised of cry baby losers. You want to act like a child all your life become a democrat. You want to behave like an adult when things don't go your way come on over to right side.

Awesome. That was about land rights and The government lost that case. Where was the looting and rioting in that story?

Ah yes, threatening to defend themselves against anybody that comes to try to take back a government building is way more of an adult reaction than rioting.

That was weak, hombre.

Is that the best you can come up with?

Liberals
 
I would say that standing up and protesting, calmly in place is more of an adult reaction that walking on the highways, burning and looting. I could be wrong

I don't agree with the method of getting fire arms involved, but then again, look what's happening in Standing Rock....

Yeah, brown people are getting attacked for standing up to oil while armed white people get ignored for taking over a federal building.

I discussed platforms in the context of the debate we had over my belief that it was inaccurate to portray Hillary as a moderate.

Seriously, what's the difference? Hillary is a moderate who was running on a platform pretty much divorced from her previous record. Why do you think Sanders was viewed by an acceptable option by so many?

How do you reason that?

In the previous discussion we had about this I also referenced her Senate record and her 08' campaign, both of which were indisputably liberal. I welcomed anybody to refute my assertion that she was consistently liberal and that the 'moderate' label was out of tune with reality (and definition), out of genuine curiosity for what examples might be proffered of her 'moderate' policy positions.

But, to address your first post ... do I think it was probable that a Hillary win would have yielded fertile ground for the growth/expansion/initiation of many of the progressive ideals of the Democratic party (such as challenging parts of the 2nd amendment)? Absolutely.

I mean, that's the very nature of contemporary politics, so I guess your point is a bit lost to me.

So, let me get this straight, Trump said if he lost he wouldn't accept the results because there was foul play involved, but if he won, which he did, then he would accept the results and you think the fact that he won could only possibly mean that everything was on the up and up?????

By the way, I don't think there was any foul play involved either way, the Repubs just ran a smarter, harder fought campaign and did a MUCH better job at getting their people out to vote and while I'm OK with the Dems marching and protesting (peacefully) if they want, I don't think it does anything but make them look worse and more clueless.

I don't totally agree with you, I mean standing there in place and protesting really isn't all that feasible, but yes expecting them to march in a peaceful, non-destructive manner that doesn't step on the rights of anyone else isn't, or at least shouldn't be, too much to ask. After all burning and looting isn't marching or protesting, it's a crime, IMO, period.

dumbfounded.

He is the President.

Is a brilliant politician.

Hoping he runs the country with the same efficiency, insight and creativity as he ran the campaign

We can hope ...

As much as I have been against Trump, he and his team really did something remarkable - and somewhat Reaganesque. Should we call the rust belt folk Trump Democrats? And from the little I read he did better with Hispanics, blacks and women than pundits imagined. In my mind turning MI, PA, WI all red was remarkable. He tapped into the fear and angst out there and fueled it and won those votes away from the out-of-touch both in the Republican and Democrat parties.
