[aggie49]

I voted for Clinton also. I am very concerned about our country with Trump in control. The rest of the world is laughing at now. They won't have any respect for him.

I voted for Clinton. I am worried about my future now that Trump has been elected.

I voted for Clinton also.  I am worried about our relationship with other countries now and what the results could mean for our country

I also voted for Clinton but I live in Utah; which is usually, a red state.  A lot of Utahns wear the Republican label so the electoral votes went to Trump.

I think a percentage of people were voting for "CHANGE".  They assume that a change with Trump in the driver's seat will be an improvement.  I'm not so sure about that.  I think some people don't comprehend the potential damage he could do.

That being said, I will adapt.  I also suggest that we all fasten our seat belts because the next 4 years with Trump could be a bumpy ride.

Peace.

Hillary.

Give the man a chance. It won't be easy and he needs our support. I personally am glad that a man was voted in who was not part of the political machine. And I believe he is honest and honestly loves the United States.

If you've read any of my posts on FC, you would probably know who I voted for. It's not a very popular position around here (on FC) evidently.

I cannot say it did not sway me when veterans, the police, union leaders, and farmers voted for him. To me that's powerful stuff. The elitists do not care about us little guys. You know, the ones trying to make a buck on the internet to help make ends meet.

I respect your right to vote for the person you believed was the better candidate, but I hope you didn't vote for her because she's a woman or because she defamed Donald Trump with many lies during the entire campaign.

I don't believe for a moment that he's a maniac ready to blow up the entire world with nuclear weapons. I truly believe he loves his country and wants to make it a better place for all of us.

Don't crucify me for my opinion. I have some friends and family who voted for Clinton and I still love them. I just wonder how they came to their decision in the face of all the lies and corruption that were unfolding.

I had a very hard time voting in this election.  I did vote, though.  I voted for Hillary Clinton.  Although she has a lot of excess negative baggage, I believe she would do a better job for the majority of our citizens than her opponent would do.

linderlizze:  How can you say that, do you have blinders on, I voted for Clinton because I think she was the best person for the job.  Trump is crazy, all you can say is Clinton lies, look how many lies Trump have told.

I voted for Hillary and feel very sad that the election went the way it did.  Liz, I did not vote for her because she is a woman.  I voted for the candidate that I felt was concerned about the issues that concern me.   The environment was a big issue for me.   Donald Trump has already announced he may be putting an energy lobbyist, Mike McKenna, as head of the DOE.  He also wants to eliminate the EPA.  I am looking at the people he is looking to surround himself and it scares me.  There is also talk of Sarah Palin being in his adminstration and Chris Christie.   I just cannot support someone whose views are so far from my own.   I am afraid for the future of our children.   I understand people wanted change from the current political situation but I don't believe the change we will see from Trump is the change most folks wanted.   Time will tell.

i didnt vote...but if i had voted i dont think it would have been hilary..i dont believe in abortions..but other than that..i mean are we really ready for a woman president,we are getting there.but i honestly dont think so yet..we have too many emotions when it comes to war and such..she may have been a good one who knows..but i dont think i could have lived with myself in a situation to kill innocents..but im sure we will get one..who knows she may get it next time..my opinion only..no haters please

[debidoo]

Well see everyone has an opinion and mine is that Trump might have his own "issues" but I think Clinton could not be trusted to have anyone's best interests at heart.  I think she would sell this country down river in a heartbeat and everyone in it.  So I guess either way the majority of people didn't trust her to be president.

I understand what you're saying about the lack of trust in Hillary and her not being able to be trusted in having anyone's best interests at heart.  I personally don't agree with that statement but respect your view.   But can you trust Donald Trump to have "everyone's best interest"?    What about all the small businesses he didn't pay after they did work on his casinos, etc.?  His business record, for me, has proven he only has his interests at heart.   Personally, I would have preferred the woman who has fought for children, women, and the minorities rights all of her life.

we Americans say we want peace.
burning the flag and riots in the streets  are not the means for peace.
our emotions have been strung up too high.
some of us have been blinded by the truth.
we will get our liberty back.
how many people have to tell someone to calm down before we really do?
most elections in our history have divided us.
the presidential seat is a place of honor.
it is also a place of great responsibility.
we've seen the corrupt political machine working for years.

I voted Trump. I believe 100% that we will have a woman President someday soon and I support that happening, but I do not believe Hillary was the right person for that.  The mainstream media is so unprofessionally biased in favor of Hillary and the liberal platform in general and so opposed to anything conservative.  Hillary and the media ran a fear campaign.  The picture they painted of a potential Trump administration of racism, bigotry, warmongering, etc. is so far removed from reality, but was painted with a brush of fear and hate.   Trump is NOT going to round up and throw all illegal immigrants out of the country; he is NOT going to start a nuclear war because of some insults and a thin skin; he is not going to kill peace loving Islamic people; although the things Trump has said about women were abhorrent, he is not going to rape women in the White House or anywhere else (it was okay for Bill to do the things he did and for Hillary to do anything to destroy the reputations of those women - double standard?); he is NOT going to destroy our country to line his pockets (and will not be in the pockets of special interest groups like Hillary would have been).  In the next 4 or 8 years - none of these things that Hillary supporters say is going to happen will actually happen.


That said, I did not vote for Trump based upon his politics or his personality (although I am willing to give him a chance and see he can they accomplish).  I voted for Trump because I could not in good conscience vote for Hillary and all of her lies and the very obvious double standard that exists if you have liberal versus conservative views; I voted for Trump, knowing that he is smart enough to surround himself with smart people in his cabinet and knowing that he would bring the Supreme Court back to center rather than ultra-left for decades to come.


I voted for Donald Trump because I am opposed to abortion, especially when so many people use it as a method of birth control and not because of any health risks.  I voted for Donald Trump because Obamacare has been an absolute disaster and has negatively impacted my medical costs.


My vote for Donald Trump does not make me a racist or a homophobe or a deplorable person and I am so tired of those out there who equate one with the other simply because the media or Rosie O'Donnell or Cher or Myley Cyrus told them it was the case. 


I voted for Donald Trump as the lesser of two evils and I was not willing to throw my vote away to some third party candidate.  I accepted Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama as the prior Presidents elected during my lifetime in the elections in which I was old enough to vote.  I did not vote for each of these, but I accepted them as the country's choice.  It should be no different now with Donald Trump.  Let's give him a fair chance and see what he does. Let's accept him as the President-elect. Let's stop the name calling and protests because things didn't go our way.  Is he perfect?  Not even close. But there has never been a perfect person to walk this earth other than JC.
