If we're talking about candidates Cory Booker would be interesting.
 
I have a feeling dem voters may have even had a hand in all this. All that talk of "the GOP is dead and can never recover" likely pissed a lot of people off to cast spite votes. When one side gets too cocky it seems like the american people have a way of shutting that down every 4 or 8 years.

It sure seems like most of the elected Republicans hate him. If he comes out with some ridiculous bullshit, I have to think they will stop him. I just have a hard time believing that the world is going to end now that Trump is the President. I don't think he's going to be a good President, not by any means, but I don't think we're going to suddenly shift back to some extremely oppressive regime.

the house and senate are going to push trump to be hyper conservative. Nothing is off the table. I've said it before but I'm more worried he won't be able to stop THEM.

That's possible. I really hope we don't see a bunch of anti-gay rights, or anti-minority. I'm hoping they focus on the economy.

Trump doesn't give a shit, he'll push what he wants to push. I don't see him doing any anti-gay stuff. Anti-muslim stuff may come out as well as anti-illegals which will lead to tensions in the latino communities though.

@Denny Crane or @SlyPokerDog or anyone.

You need 60 votes to stop a filibuster correct?

Wait two days after a filibuster begins. Obtain sixteen signatures on a motion to invoke cloture. Wait another two days before the Senate can vote on cloture. Make sure that three-fifths of the Senate (sixty Senators) vote to end debate.

I'm confused at how you can be happy about this. Your right to marry who you love is up for grabs. Pence HATES you.

This is the scary thing. Pence is a bigger worm than Trump, and this is coming from myself in Indiana, who has been subject to his dumbass religiously-driven agenda first hand.

Our country is going backwards.

I see the next four years as a Pence administration....sort of like Cheney was with Bush...Trump will speechify and make appearances but Pence is their puppet master
 


Wikileaks has a 10-year record of never releasing a single falsified document, and is not connected to Russia. Everything they released were the actual e-mails of Hillary Clinton and her campaign staff. You had the opportunity to look through a window into the Hillary Clinton campaign, but you didn’t.

By ignoring the leaks, you ignored reality.

By not listening to your fellow Americans, and accusing them of being “conspiracy theorists” and trusting the corporate media, you ignored reality. By only following other liberals on social media, and only reading liberal or corporate news, once again ignoring reality. When Hillary Clinton was caught rigging the primary against Bernie Sanders, and Democrats nominated her anyway they ignored reality.

Everyone was simply insulating themselves within their own echo chamber ignoring anything outside their bubble.

Just read an article about the Trump cabinet appointees....looks like a CEO club....

Trump has a number of advisers with whom he has built business relationships over the years. Insurance company CEO John Ridings Lee, 79, has been advising Trump on health insurance while oil tycoon Harold Hamm, 70, has Trump’s ear on energy policy, Politico reported. On trade, Trump seeks advice from former steel executive Dan DiMicco, 66.

As for economic policy, Trump gets advice from G. Brint Ryan of Dallas, who advises companies on how to minimize their tax bills.

As for education secretary, Trump has praised former primary rival Ben Carson, a retired pediatric neurosurgeon, and his views, the Washington Post reported. Carson is a strong supporter of school choice and rewarding good teachers. Carson also is seen as a contender to head Health and Human Services.

Forrest Lucas, head of Lucas Oil, is a possible candidate for interior secretary although Politico noted Donald Trump Jr. is interested in that job. Possible picks for agriculture secretary include Bruce Rastetter, who made his fortune in pork, ethanol and farm real estate, and Chuck Conner, president of the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives.

Trump also has talked to J. Larry Nichols, chairman emeritus of Devon Energy Corp; coal executive Joe Craft, Excel Services chief Donald Hoffman and Wilbur Ross of WL Ross & Co., an investment firm, Politico said.

Wrong. She wasn't using it to get elected. The racists who were doing tomahawk chops at the Scott Brown rally's were using it against her.

Bro.... so for the first time in my life, I grew my full beard out earlier this year. I wear plaid a lot. Then my ex got me that hat. On the way to work one day (you know how you take that last look in the mirror before you leave?) I look in the mirror before I hit the door.

"I look like a fuckin' hipster"

Is what I thought. The beard was gone the next day.
