I remember someone posting Trump's recommendations for replacing the ACA here back in the early days of the primary. If anyone can find it, it would make a good yardstick with which to compare whatever plans he eventually comes up with. As I remember, his proposals sounded pretty reasonable.

That might be the most ignorant, offensive, and disgusting thing I've ever seen on the net, and I'm assuming that she let the kid back in once she turned off her camera. She was apparently completely unmoved by his pleas and tears. Forget for a second her warped sense of what Trump represents, even if your kid says he voted for Hitler in a mock-election at school, you sit them down and talk to them, teach them why they're wrong. I'd love to see someone go to that house with convincing-looking eviction/repossession papers and armed guards, and film her screams and cries as she's led away so the world can see it on the web. That poor kid. He deserves a real mother, not a POS like her.

As if that isn't enough right there to tell everyone everything they need to know about our so-called public servants and the laws they pass. My sister is a self-employed small business owner with a preexisting condition, and she supported the ACA because insurance was too expensive and nobody would cover anything relating to her specific malady. After passage of the ACA, her insurance is even more expensive, her out of pocket expenses have skyrocketed, and she can no longer see the same specialist - so she is often forced to simply stay home in bed and suffer.

People need to get the hell over themselves. That's just plain idiotic.

Dad called you a p#ssy!

I was wondering about that too, especially as it came on the heels of his criticism regarding Republicans' not being known for 'equality'.

I'm convinced that there will indeed be some fairly sizeable sections built. There's already some fairly lengthy stretches of wall along the border with Mexico. I do agree though that the concept of something ala the great wall of China going up is laughable.

Nothing teaches quite like experience.

I can understand their feeling like they do, especially at that age. It's likely that this was the first presidential election for each and every one of them, and I remember how committed to the ideal I was at that time of my life. I was crushed when Jimmy Carter lost to Regan, and I believed all the hyperbole that was being foisted around about how we were going to be in a nuclear war with Russia in no time at all. They're young and idealistic, and I do understand their excitement for helping to try to elect the first female president. I honestly feel a little sympathy for them. But then again, tough t#tties. A little dose of reality will help open their eyes a bit.

They're simply pointing out consistent behavior by the usual bunch of suspects, who can't help lauding their smug self-righteousness over the common oafs who do not view life through a leftist bubble, and don't give a crap if they offend up to 50% of their own potential audience. You'd understand if you didn't share so many of those traits as well.

At least those weirdos are relatively quiet by comparison, and collect things rather than burn/smash other peoples' property.

"According to KTVU, about 100 protesters gathered in Oakland and sought to block freeways and create a commotion. The protesters forced BART to shut down and at least one demonstrator was struck by a vehicle." http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/11/09/protests-erupt-in-california-after-trump-wins-election.html

I guess all we can say for now is....

I was just looking around at some of the news sites. The hyperbole is off the charts.

I don't think you're going to get much argument around here. Those of us that are grateful that we're not facing another Clinton presidency are, it appears to me, keeping their fingers crossed that things might not work out too badly. But that remains to be seen.

So does this mean that the Garrison/Jenner ticket wins?

I just saw that for the first time only a few days ago. He should have put that forward more publicly and from the beginning to help balance his loose-cannon persona.

I honestly don't think that she'll get nailed for any of it. Her & Bill are usually pretty well insulated from consequence. Those around her are probably pretty nervous though. I suspect that it's not desperation as much as it is anger. When one administration promises to put the coal industry out of business by making the costs of regulatory compliance such that there is no longer profit, and then does it, then the next candidate had better expect voter opposition if they promise people more of the same.

I don't think any of us thought he was going to win, input from Juror or not. I don't trust most news outlets to not skew polls, and I still thought Trump would lose. I really didn't think this would be much more than a limited nationalist movement.

They're just idiots caught on camera losing the contents of their bowels on television. They simply do not understand. Politicians rely on their celebrity to gain support from a politically oblivious public-at-large. Trump used his celebrity to elbow his way past some pretty damned qualified candidates, most of which I would have supported way before deciding to cast my vote for Trump. Once he gained the public's attention, all he had to do was beat Hillary and/or Bernie. Frankly, I thought Hillary would win, but if it goes Trump's way after all, then I understand why. Matthews and Maddow are too partisan to actually report from the unbiased point of view that a reporter should have. This is just further proof of that.
