who did you pick for the president

[madeara]

Hillary.  I'm sad she lost.

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. 

Our first order of business, however, is to grieve, to rage, to confess confusion, to shake with fear. Only when we let ourselves feel fully do we free our minds enough to think clearly about what is next.

So according to the Mayor of Minneapolis, it's perfectly reasonable, nay, it is our duty as first order of business to rage -- to express "violent, uncontrollable anger" (Google definition for "rage") -- in demonstrations in her city (and the rest of the country). After all, that is how all of the racist, sexist, homophobic later-Trump supporters acted when Pres. Obama was elected. Oh wait, that last part never happened... SMH

She later quoted Maya Angelou:

Hate, it has caused a lot of problems in the world, but has not solved one yet.

I guess to rage is not to hate in her world.

People fear that Trump will fly off the handle and start a nuclear war, yet this Mayor says that it is when we feel fully (and perhaps irrationally) that we have a clear mind to make good decisions. 

I just love seeing this kind of leftist leadership during this peaceful transition of power...

I feel the majority of the country was so desperate for change they voted against political corruption and the media more than they voted for Donald Trump. The masses took their collective middle finger and gave it to the corrupt government and the media.
But you know what? It's done. The election is over and now we must stand united and support the decision of the American people. And you know what? I hope President Trump does take all the illegal aliens from our country and send them home. They are here ILLEGALLY! They can return when they go through the proper channels. Period. If an intruder breaks into your home and steals from you and is caught and says the reason he broke in was to take some of your belongings to give himself a better life, is he a criminal? Was this illegal? You betcha! The fact that we tolerate illegal immigration into our beloved country is baffling to me in my opinion.

I voted for Trump,  He may  have been my first choice, i can tell you i would not have voted for Hillary at all. I have watched and listened to her for over 30 years and they was a lot of unsavory stunts she pulled, Yes Some day we may  very well have a woman president, Even though i am a republican and if i felt  that she  maybe a democrat was the right person i would vote for Her. Instead of saying you can't wait for Trump to start a war, may you should i hope he proves himself.

    Now that trump won, it's not rigged, only when he loses it's rigged.

at this point it doesnt matter who we voted for. We just need to get behind the new president and make this countyr better instead of divided.

[BlackSheepNY]

I voted for Trump, he was just the right choice for me.  I value openness, honesty, and love of country and Hillary just didn't/doesn't have it.  I also sincerely believe that too many people believe everything they hear or read just because it's in the main stream media.  Too many people today get butt hurt over things that are said.  There are way more important things to think about than whether someone called me a name or not.  What bothers me more than any name calling is the lies and deceit perpetrated by the Clintons and their "foundation."  Hillary let people die in Benghazi when it was her job to protect them.  She just blew it off and insulted the families of these men.  She can't be trusted, and I wasn't about to take that chance just because she's a "woman."

we pick clinton and it is so hard for me to think of trump as president i can not wait to see how long it takes him to cause a war and he needs to have a better under standing of women because i know him personally and can not stand him he puts women down i sure hope he knows what he got into

Seriously?  I couldn't imagine clinton as president.  Not sure why you think he is going to cause a war.  Somehow I am having a really hard time believing you know DONALD TRUMP personally. LOL

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.

Excellent post. I agree wholeheartedly.

[mgint]

trump she was a bad candidate

[dsawan]

no one

[rghvac69]

I voted for Donald Trump.

[debidoo]

Funny that you think Clinton is better than Trump.  I think Trump has problems but Hillary Clinton is totally and completely scary to me.  I think she is an evil person and I wouldn't trust her on any level.  There is no doubt in my mind that woman would sell this country down the river for a dime.  You know the bible says that God puts in high places who he wants?  Also that we are to pray for those persons.  Why can't everyone move on - show some respect for whoever is president, pray for them and quit disrespecting who God puts in office because to be honest that to me is a form of disrespecting God.  And this is the last I have to say on the subject lol.

[catchow]
