The Republican Party used to be known as the Party of Lincoln. Mr. Lincoln was the first Republican elected to the Presidency. He is generally considered to be our greatest president. Where do you think Mr. Trump will be rated on that scale?
Hillary won the popular vote. The GOP has never let a little thing like their opponent receiving more votes from getting in their way of taking office.
Frankfreak: He still has no plans or policies but the corrupt creeps he’s likely to appoint certainly do! We can only hope some of the Republicans in the Senate, like those who disavowed him, will team up with Democrats to preserve the nation Trump’s attitude will destroy. Gee, he MIGHT even be forced by them to actually READ the Constitution for the first time in his life.
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.
It’s a cycle: the economy gains under Democrats and loses under Republicans. When the GOP screws up badly enough, the Dems will be allowed back to partially clean up the wreckage, until it looks good enough to the Republicans again to come back.
Check out dailykos.com about getting rid of the electoral college. There is info about the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. Tim Kaine quoted Faulkner: They kilt us but they ain’t whooped us.
We survived the Civil War, We survived Nixon. In two years, we will be able to replace enough of these guys to shut down the system Trump sets up, and then we can go back to deadlock until we are able to replace him in four years. Conversely, and I say this with no reasonable expectation of in being a possibility, maybe he will do a decent job. Since we are stuck with him, we need to do what we can with what we’ve got and start dismantling the DNC so they aren’t as corrupt as he is. Bernie would have won and been an actual advocate for the people if the DNC hadn’t done everything possible to thwart the people’s choice.
That’s exactly how more than half of America feels right now. I was truly inspired when I visited the Lincoln Memorial a year ago. Our country & the world will never be the same once Trump has the Oval Office

Trump promised to turn the ghettos into police states.

It needs be noted that in the 1960’s the Party of Lincoln and the Dixicrats switched seats.
