I watched CNN at ~noon today, they were lamenting that Trump won because too many voters stayed home and didn't vote...Hispanics, blacks, the uneducated...My local station (a CBS affiliate) reported that voter turnout was greater (75% vs 70%) than the 2012 election...
"Exit polls"...Now the talking heads are saying that voters gave misleading information when they left the polls and were interviewed...Nobody was asking questions at my polling place...I visited another polling place (a library in the nearest city), still no interviewers... Where were all these 'exit polls' taking place??? Certainly not in my predominantly blue collar neighborhoods... Why would anyone lie about how/why they voted??? I would be happy to elect a woman president - I think Sarah Palin would have been a viable candidate, if she had had four or eight years as vice with McCain as president... Now they're talking about Trump structuring a third party separate from the Republican party...I say, good on him!

A 3rd - viable party would be very nice
I would also like to see more independent newscasts. I am amazed that i see the same stories and SAME footage on two different stations. |

Oh the horror!!! The press and polling organizations just don't want to accept responsibility for being negligent...
We can sympathize with their problem... Their advertising revenues have sunk to the point that they had to eliminate much of their staff - including a number of very competent journalists. They probably pruned away the expensive (and competent) ones, and kept many younger, more inexperienced and more socially relevant appearing reporters. You know - the ones with less experience to base their judgement upon... Now - what to do! We press outlets have their image to uphold and their legacy to protect. Unfortunately, like much of the progressive politicians' smoke screens, American workers - voters with a stake in the economy and their communities - can see through all this. Just as the lies the press publishes and the progressives tell about the Second Amendment are proved false by gun sales, the lies the press publishes about conservatives have been proven by President Elect Trump. I feel like we've dodged a bullet, but that the shooters are still out there, biding their time. Let's get the Supreme Court issues wrapped up for the rest of our generations, and get on with responsible governance. As a Second Amendment oriented fiscal conservative and social libertarian, in truth, nobody in public office really represents me. I have to take the good where I find it...

Personally, I believe it's just BS excuses anyway. Like you say, the turnout is proof enough that this is what the people wanted. |

When does Obama issue a blanket pardon for Hillary? Has Comey started working on his resume yet?

CNN is very biased in this election.
I learned a new 3-character Chinese noun on wenxuecity.com (a misc website). The noun has been used to label CNN frequently in the past due to they liked pointing fingers on many world affairs. Not sure there is a direct English translation... by meaning, it's "a whore pretending to be Holy Mother of Christ".... Well, Beijing must like CNN on US election,,, at least, not labeling CNN this time. |

Unfortunately, I live in a blue state.
In fact, if it weren't for New York City, we also would be red [source: Buffalo News]. IMHO, NYC should be a state all by itself. Did you know that new York City has more people than NINE US states combined??? New York City - 8.406 million (2013) New Hampshire 1,326,813 Rhode Island 1,055,173 Montana 1,023,579 Delaware 935,614 South Dakota 853,175 North Dakota 739,482 Alaska 737,732 Vermont 626,011 Wyoming 584,153

Just read some Yahoo News reporting riot in Portland OR. That's a little bit surprising to me -- is Portland a big city with many liberals?
Another news reported that Trump reconfirmed that he planned to deport 2 to 3 million undocumented immigrants who have criminal records. This number is astonishing. If I remembered right, there are 12 million undocumented immigrants, and 25% has criminal records????!!! If he does this not in a controlled way but in big hurry, there could be a danger of causing social unrest in some cities. |

Let's take a deep breath before we start hyperventilating about what could be.
The liberals seems to have that covered quite well. dju |

Besides some idiots, I already feel a wave of optimism starting to evolve. Politicians make lousy presidents. Eric
