Draining the swamp was for the purpose of finding retreads for his cabinet.

US election 2016 results: Meet President Trump's possible cabinet - BBC News

I think you misunderstand us. We wanted change but not at the expense of an unhinged President who has brought out the worst in the country. Certainly not the kind of change Trump brings to the table.

Oh the irony. Back when Trump mistakenly thought Romney had won the popular vote. Seems like an endorsement for the electoral college to go with the popular vote.

Poor old Chris Christie. First he missed out on the VP spot to Pence, and now Pence has taken his spot as head of the transition team.

I've got a feeling he's going to get Ambassador to Afghanistan when this is all said and done.

He may get a jail sentence the way the Bridgegate trial went for his aides.

Debbie Dingell gets it - she is a Dem

Dingell pointed to her constituents’ real wages, which, despite President Obama’s auto-industry bailout, have at best stagnated.

“They don’t feel better off,” she explained. “They have less purchasing power; their health insurance costs more; they don’t trust their pensions to be there; and because we are a cyclical industry, they are frightened that something bad could happen at any time.”

“The president did save my state’s industry,” she continued. “But what many keep missing is that working men and women don’t see this in their lives. They feel the system is rigged against them. And those workers are white, black, Hispanic, Muslim — all races, creeds and colors. Economic and national security fears overcame all other factors when they walked into the voting booth.”

etc etc

If those people think their wages will increase under the Republicans...they have not been paying attention the last 20 years.

Change

They voted for Donald, would they have voted for another Bush, probably not.

It has started. An unannounced Wheely-bin appeared at all the properties on my street today. The note that came with it is obviously deceptive. Something about automation, safety, aesthetics. environment, WTF!

I cannot help but like this post.

Very curious

Hard for them to understand..it seems..but if a reasonably sane Republican had won we would still be displeased but not anywhere near how we feel now. We would simply have given it a chance because that person would not have encouraged the hatred and racism nor would he have been as totally clueless as Trump is.

Not the point, and why the left and Clinton supporters don't seem to get the simple fact that the decline has happened during Republican and Democrat administrations - and people just wanted a change and only Trump or Sanders represented a change. Many Trump supporters I have talked to just as fed up with Republicans in Congress as they are with Democrats. The more establishment Republicans went against Trump, it made some more likely to vote for Trump.

My own impression is that the Trump voters were not necessarily convinced his stated plans would work, but were convinced Clinton was a continuation
of the status quo.

Ironic that the Republican congress blocked a lot of Obama's initiatives, now will probably block many of Trump's.

You still do not get it.

If he had been seen as another Repub he would not have won.
