All I’ll say on the matter for now is that I hope the American people at large will really be satisfied with the guy they’ve elected and whatever he brings to the table in the future, good or bad. They’re the ones who voted for him, after all, so if it goes south, it’s really more on them than anything.
Electoral votes: • Wendell Willkie®, 82 (1940) • Barry Goldwater®, 52 (1964) • Walter Mondale (D), 13 (1984) • Michael Dukakis (D), 111 (1988)
These serious, sober, responsible, principled, experienced, respectable candidates combined managed to pile up a grand total of 258 electoral votes in 4 separate presidential elections.
Their political parties did not expire as a result.
One of the many great things about the election result is that all those who tried so hard to bolster Private Citizen Hillary and weaken President-Elect Trump like this artist utterly, totally, and completely failed. This is wonderful!
One of the reasons I voted for Trump was as a rebuke to the media who needs to remember that the real job of a free press is to hold ALL our politicians accountable and work for us, the citizenry. The free press is supposed to influence government by keeping it honest, not trying to influence the public to support a political party.
Given the vigor that much of the media, like the artist of this piece had for propping up Private Citizen Hillary, I had no faith that they would do anything other than protect her regardless of what she did. That is unacceptable.
At least with President Elect Trump, I can expect the media, and this artist, to endlessly be scrutinizing his decisions and actions and even though they will probably be doing it in order to get a Democratic President in 2020, at least indirectly, they will be doing their job, since most of these so called members of the “free” press don’t seem to have the ethical fortitude to rise to what they should be doing, working for us, the citizens, not for the DNC.

I suppose Trump is celebrating with a cocaine and sex orgy with under age girls.
Its the end of the world as we know it. The mean people won. Say good bye to health care and hello to nuclear war.

Remember “Monty Python’s ‘Life of Brian’”? “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” (whistle here).

We’ve been through this before. It won’t be pleasant, but the GOP will screw the pooch again, and so on.

You know who got more votes, right? If it had been the other way round, the GOP would be screaming it from the rooftops.
