    AND, I'd say almost half of the people who voted for Clinton, wanted another candidate but again, she was thrust upon them. Clinton had almost 60% negative ratings.

    Ha! Now this is a lefty I can agree with. Except I support Trump! He was the only one supportable.
    I kind a like the label, Mr. Deplorable.

    Finally. Fucking spot on.

    Check out this article:

    http://www.cracked.com/blog/6-reasons-trumps-rise-that-no-one-talks-about/

    Written by a Liberal who comes from the "small town". Beautifully written.

    I'm 25% Hispanic, the descendant of a Mexican Immigrant. I'm also a Bisexual man. And I voted for Trump without a second thought. It had nothing to do with his race or anyone else's race. That's a cop-out for fools to throw more labels and excuses at someone with.

    If it's one thing I can say is that I think, after Obama got elected, the Right had a LOT of soul-searching to do. They had to decide to set aside their feelings on gay marriage and weed, and focus on the Government instead. And that's exactly what they've done.

    Oh sure, a few Republicans still moan about gays and weed, but....look at all the weed initiatives that passed recently in deep Republican territory.

    I think they finally GET it. And it shows that they learned their lessons. They won.

    Same here. Obama called us "Bitter Clingers", Hillary called us "Deplorables", the media and celebrities called us "Racist", and Harry Reid called us "White Supremacist".

    Then Trump came along and called us "Americans".

    To me, it was a no-brainer. Trump all the way.

    Nope. If anything, whenever I see a comment like this, I smile and pat myself on the back; knowing that I made the right choice.

    Trump appreciates your support.

    Viewing each other as opponents in the political arena began with Jefferson and his allies in the media attacking John Adams. It worked, he won.

    John Adams initiated and signed into law, the first Sedition act.
    In enforcing this law, he ushered in the beginning of Rock n Roll.

    "Of the four acts, the Sedition Act was the most distressing to staunch First Amendment advocates. They objected to the fact that treasonable activity was vaguely defined, was defined at the discretion of the president and would be punished by heavy fines and imprisonment. The arrest and imprisonment of 25 men for supposedly violating the Sedition Act ignited an enormous outcry against the legislation. Among those arrested was Benjamin Franklin’s grandson, Benjamin Franklin Bache, who was the editor of the Republican-leaning Philadelphia Democrat-Republican Aurora."

    Watch this video. It's a really interesting way how editing has been used to make Trump look worse than he is. I'm not a supporter of Trump, but this is the kind of bullshit manipulation that is going unchecked right now.

    sorry, no matter what folks want to blame on the media...Trump single handedly made himself look worse day in and day out.....now he's humbled because he just got buried in real responsibility and surrounded by much smarter folks than he spouted he was....he's eating crow and backtracking on a lot of his campaign schpiel even now......making Trump look bad just took listening to him give a speech...even for the most objective listener

    You didn't get the point. Why are organizations splicing together his speeches to make him look even more bigoted?

    You'd have to ask them...but Trump came out punching out of the gate....the media from my view started counterpunching...I'm saying he threw the first punches and in several directions...this and it's no secret he alienated some powerful old school money in DC....he made a messy bed from the start..why they splice bloopers together....they get clicks.....they fill the 4 hour window of news hunger that never stops looking for the next click. Then 4 hours later it's another one....and on and on...Trump could blame his own twitter account on a lot of this

    Kevin Van Ord is failing to recognize that Trump won slightly fewer votes than Romney. The real story is that Dem voters stayed home in droves

    He's not backtracking anything. Lib media is still lying to you and always will. Your sheeplishness is apparent. You don't even know what he actually said, ever. How can you know what he'll do?

    you know this is getting old Maris....I don't base my judgement of Trump on TV or journalists......I base mine on words from his own mouth....you can wear blinders in your Trump celebration and I won't judge you for it but you need to stop putting me on this evil liberal conspirator list you have going...I'm not that guy.

    I consider this a personal insult.....so I'm responding in kind....your fucking tunnel vision and divisionary banter is apparent...call me a sheep and I'll call you a guy without a fucking clue who doesn't know anything about me....I welcome any disagreement with my views if you want to talk about yours but define me this way and you can fuck off....support your views with reasoning and stop baiting people who disagree with you

    Thanks for admitting the press is a total fake. But you still support every lie they tell you? You remind me of the Moonies.
