Election 2016 POTUS exit poll

Everyone I've talked to that says they voted Clinton seems to have done so begrudgingly and with mostly social issues in mind. Personally I scoffed at the whole "vote blue, no matter who" notion, and many of my friends and I threw our votes away to a third party in lieu of not voting at all. She would have been a mostly boring president, one many dems would probably have been eager to replace at the next chance. The people wanted change, and she wasn't about to bring it.

She's still taking the pizz

And no, I don't believe a presidency under her would be boring at all. With everything she has already gotten away with, being the POTUS would have enabled her and Bill to increase their fleecing of the people of the USA as well as foreign countries 100 fold. And they would have been blatant about it, knowing well that we couldn't do a darn thing about it. This was a very nasty bullet that we all dodged. Hopefully the Clinton era has come to what will be a very painful end for them.

Actually, thinking about it, I believe HilLIARy will look rather dashing in an orange jumpsuit.

I agree. All the voting of my youth was based on women's rights, freedom of choice, specifically. After I grew up, though, and was paying more in taxes than I'd grossed as a 20, 30 something, I became WAY more fiscally conservative. This is the path our country needs to follow. We are WAY too much in debt. We need to get out. Also, second amendment became very important to me, so my taste in supreme court justices changed.

But- I'm socially liberal, in terms of support for gay rights/marriage, etc. And the other thing I don't want to type on a computer at my place of employment.

But when it comes to the economy, we just have to fix that first, at the cost of everything else, even.

It's not that we didn't want a female president; we just didn't want Hillary. It's weak to try to pin that on people who didn't vote for her, just as it's weak to say people who voted for Trump hate women. I don't hate women, I am one.

Interesting to see all of the riots and protests going on right now because Trump won the election. I can't help but wonder, in retrospect, what would have happened had Obama lost either of his two election runs. I don't recall hearing about any riots or public protests from the people who voted for John McCain and Mitt Romney after those respective elections. Was that the case and I just missed it?

But I DO have a feeling that their might have even been demonstrations and riots had Trump lost. There were a LOT of rumors about the Democrats padding the ballot boxes with "mobile voters" and "magic votes", and people seemed to be working themselves up to a frenzy on both sides of the fence.

So perhaps riots and demonstrations are the "in" thing now when things just don't go your way. Thanks to all that showed us the way, for that.

But regardless of the job that Trump does while in office, I am doubtful he could possibly do a worse job that HilLIARy would have done for our country. I am actually optimistic that things might actually get better for a change.

Most interestingly to me, the Republicans now control all three branches of government. I guess we'll see how they do without any check at all against them. If you guys are right, it should be p awesome in the US for the next few years.

I know that I am certainly hoping that will be so. The Republicans won't have anyone to point their fingers at to blame if they blow this opportunity.

But this certainly would not be the first time that someone got voted in on his campaign promises, then once in office become inflicted with selective amnesia. Yet for some reason people will still vote them in for a second term.

I think people are very afraid of a Trump presidency, especially with all the hateful rhetoric that has gone on this election cycle and all of the rioting is a product of a lot of fear and anger. I know that I myself feel very nervous about the future and know that many of my friends do as well. However, as a democrat myself, I do not condone the rioting. I hope that all the violence and hate from both parties will calm down sooner rather than later.

I'm sure I saw that the stocks and shares were at an all time HIGH this morning . .

Kind of interesting how upbeat I feel since the election. Regardless of the rioting and protesting some people are doing. I guess a lot of those young folks took HilLIARy's promises to heart about free education and having their student loans forgiven and are now shattered to learn that they really will have to pay their own way. Tsk, tsk. Damn shame, isn't it children? Welcome to adulthood.

So as long as some whacko heavily influenced by the media's flame fanning from the wounded powers behind the Clintons doesn't kill Trump, I guess I'm expecting that this country will finally be making the turn around many of us have all been hoping for.

Of course, it's going to be an uphill battle for Trump, since he will have enemies deeply entrenched all throughout the government that will try their best to stymie any efforts he makes to try to fulfill his campaign promises.

But hopefully that draining of the swamp will begin ASAP and the leaches set out in the sunlight to dry up and die.
