Draining the swamp! That’s why he had those Washington outsiders Christie and Guiliani on his team! His supporters are in for a surprise if they believe he’s going to come in and actually drain the swamp.

My favorite Christian conspiracy theory is that Trump was just a “vehicle” used by “God” to get Pence elected past all of the godless Liberals. Now that he’s done that, he’ll be struck down for being a terrible person, and Pence will be POTUS.

Right. Trump still won’t do any work and turn the reigns over to the R establishment to do whatever they want in the Sen and House and he’ll just sign whatever they out in front of him.

Nah man. Did you read the article? Scocca makes the very important, very true point that Obama did try to help - health care, investment in public works/employment (infrastucture and green energy). Republicans purposefully blocked all of this, knowing full well it would inflict pain upon these very same working class…

As someone who deals with schools in those “shit holes” you describe (Midwest region), allow me to tell you that you are clueless.

Technology doesn’t solve everything, and in fact is a big reason for the dearth of manufacturing jobs, but connectivity allows for flexible, at home work.

So basically the Dem answer is live on government charity and disability fraud

maybe bolster a safety net.

He’s not going to do anything for them because he never planned to do anything for them, or for anyone else. This has been a gigantic self-felating ego exercise from the beginning, and now he gets to swan around and grope supermodels and be called “Mr. President”

Trump has spent his entire professional life not delivering on unrealistic promises that he’s made. I don’t think he’s going to change now.

He’s not going to be able to do anything for them, is the point. He lied to their faces and they ate it up. 

Pence... might actually be worse? This reminds me of when some people were disappointed that W didn’t actually choke to death on that pretzel and I had to remind them that meant Cheney would be the president.

How does an ID ensure that the person it names is the person holding it? Thousands of college kids slip past the net of required IDs every night from bouncers that are expecting it. We think elderly low-paid poll workers are going to do better?

Never claimed to speak for whoever you are, but it’s much more pragmatic than that. Vote third party in a Presidential election all you want, but there’s no denying that neither one had a snowball’s chance in hell of actually winning. And a Republican controlled government will not have the best interests of anyone…

Because Hillary isn’t progress enough you are willing to have a complete moron and demonstrable misogynist become POTUS? Fuck that type of precious purity politics nonsense. One day you will be an adult and you will realize that sometimes half a good solution is better than one complete shitshow of a solution.

Kamala Harris, Tammy Duckworth and Cory Booker.

Yes, but she’s rich so it’s no skin off her back. I have no idea how he can possibly unite us. His voters don’t want him to be, “Everyone’s president”, they’re planning on him being their president. There’s no common ground.

Ideologial purity is apparently the privilege of rich white people. Fuck Susan, Jill, and Gary up the cornholes.

I am just going to keep copy/pasting these numbers . . . .

Omg, yes fuck you Susan Sarandon. I hope you enjoy clinging to your ideological purity while Trump guts this country and drags us back to 1851 or whenever he believes America was great before.
