They mean one victory party and one wake. I imagine a rather poorly attended wake.

Of course, they plan to have LOTS of police between them. Might be fun to watch NY's finest beating Trump supporters. I really doubt Hillary fans are going to want to leave their party.

A big problem that strikes me is that the Democrats have been screaming about whoever the Republican candidate might be as being the end of the world option. It’s sort of funny peering back at all of that. I would be willing to throw a thousand $ for charity if JEB were now Hillary’s opposing candidate. Or Mitt Romney. Or John McCain.

Those guys would not have screwed the pooch if elected and our nation would have continued on its way to wherever we are headed. Without so much as a few hiccups here and there. But now we face the prospect of the orange hewed Donald.

Lord forgive me..... for I have sinned.................

A big deal for the conservative tribe are the future appointments of SCOTUS judges. I would be willing to bet one share of EPRSQ that the list of potential judges The Donald recently submitted as possible nominees awhile back was supplied to him by Republican insiders.

The Donald knows nothing of them nor does he give one chit who they are or the philosophies they might hold. To him they are nothing more than an annoyance to be deployed on his way to occupying his Trump House.

I really cannot believe this is happening. Nor can most Republican power brokers. But he is their boy so they are doing the “best” they can with the powder keg they have been handed. Funny stuff if it weren’t so pathetic.

Absolutely! Don The Con is a former Lib after all. Hmm

This is how the voting went down. I didn't realize how bigoted and misogynistic America really is! Perhaps I need a reality check.

Yup. But looking at this map it is hard to imagine that still she won the popular vote.
Maybe the country is too damned big - needs to be split up into smaller parcels.

It just shows how unevenly the population is divided: Most of the people actually live in those blue districts. It is actually very encouraging in that America has so much vastly under-populated area, in terms of population growth in the future.

Until you actually visit those underpopulated areas and get a sense of why they are underpopulated.

It is hard to imagine, since only Republicans live in the red areas and only Democrats live in the blue areas.
