Donald Trump managed to parlay an existing family fortune and his father’s network of connections into a successful real estate empire and a larger family fortune, which he nearly lost due to his own mismanagement. He undoubtedly has some business talent which he displayed in the 70's and 80's. But he also…

In the South a traitor is considered a Great American.

Good. Glad you cleared that up. Now go away because your opinion is way the fuck off.

She isn’t the President. Your guy is. You fucked up. Bad. And re-litigating the election isn’t distracting anybody from your role in the dismantling of this country. One thing I can with confidence say of a hypothetical Clinton presidency—when it was over the country would still be around.

“Also, Clinton would have whole-heartedly continued the Wall Street-centric neo-liberal policies of the last 40 years and expanded on economic inequality while also pushing for austerity to win over conservative voters.”

Attacks on Clinton were enough to get people to vote for Trump. That, and this mealy-mouthed false equivalence bullshit that you’re engaging in right now.

She’s an intelligent person who has spent the majority of her adult life in public service. In terms of virtue and decency, she wouldn’t have much competition from the vast majority of former presidents, low a bar as that might be.

Fuck man, even if he’s caught doing that it would be spun away. Remember, this is the party that praised Putin to bash Obama. They have no shame.

Oh here the fuck we go. “Wah wah, Clinton’s just as bad!”

No one mentioned Clinton but you.

Can we please focus on the nightmare that is before us, thank you

“Lastly, I don’t think any person would have chosen Hillary as a paragon of virtue and human decency.”

We had a choice between a flawed non-lunatic and an extremely, fatally flawed lunatic with a penchant for sexual assault. We chose poorly.

we’d get endless congressional hearings about bullshit if clinton were president, effectively shutting down government for 4 years.

I don’t disagree with any of those things, but it’s like comparing your least favorite ice cream with a waffle cone full of bloody diarrhea. You might not like either one, but there’s a clear right choice.

Their voters have proven that they’ll vote Republican no matter what valid criticism can be lobbed at the party. They just did this.

This is much more accurate than a lot of these comments.

You know, I’ve looked and I’ve looked and I just can’t see anywhere in my comment where I said a single fucking thing about Hillary Clinton.

As the residents of Trumpistan are so fond of saying, she lost. Get over it. Focus on the short-fingered piss golem we’ve got to deal with now.

I don’t think any reasonable person doubts that those things would be far less likely under Clinton.

If Republicans were smart—if they were a rational political party able to act in their own best interests—they’d impeach Trump as soon as possible.

My expectations and hopes are unbelievably low. I’ll actually consider the next four years a success if there are no nuclear weapons deployed and no significant land wars. I’m assuming that the economy, the social safety net, and basic human decency are already doomed.
