We ought to keep watch, hold Trump's feet to the fire if need be, but more than that be watchful of both House and Senate Republicans who try to undercut him in the interest of "business as usual."
Hopefully, he'll run his key positions like his old (if you can't hack it) "You're fired!" persona.
NO fan of DT but this has to make me think he may be the shake-up the country needs.
Rush is right: The RINO mainstream GOP created the The Donald Candidate they did not support.
The Trumpster's presidency will be interesting to watch.
The same goes for election night results coming through. Polls are still open on the West Coast while we're hearing ("with 1% precincts reporting") that Y is in the lead or captured a key state may drive voters out west to reconsider whether they show up or not.
If I were running for a national office, I would actually want to be a couple points behind in the polls on the Monday/Tuesday of election week (or, ideally, be leading by a huge margin at that point).
That's me dino's story and I'm sticking with it.
There's something about Jeb's smile that makes me think of a contented cow.
This election was unique in the history of the US. There has never been another one where the losing side was so convinced, right up to the start of the election, that they'd win, AND was so convinced that their opponent was the essence of evil. Keep this in mind and have sympathy for your lefty friends. Don't mock them.
What lefty friends?
Lots of weird things happened, such as the last-minute "discovered" ballots in Durham NC that voted only for Hillary and for (NC Governor candidate) Roy Cooper but not for any of the other positions on the ballot. The strange result is that Republican Dan Forest won the Lieutenant Governor's position, while Democrat Roy Cooper squeaked into the Governorship by 5000 votes.
Actually its a modified 9mm carbine that looks like an AR-15. It has two 30-round clips.
I call it "Hillary."
This election shows one reason the electoral college system arguably exists: to lessen the chance of unequitable rule by disconnected urbanites in big cities.
I'm still sticking to my 76% number!
Of course they were rigged it is in the interest of the pollster to keep being paid for their services. This means immense pressure to shade the numbers and methodology to yield the result your client is seeking. Or as close to it as you can reasonably manage.
So the polls were adjusted by the pollsters. For Clinton you over sample Democrats and under sample republicans. If you need more margin you oversample independents too. Especially in demographic groups friendly to you client.
Not to mention after harassing trump supporters relentlessly on the media, many either would not answer polls or did not answer honestly.
Like the old saying does.....
There are lies, damn lies, and statistics.
We all know which of the three enables the largest lie.
Me no need no stinking polls.
Me no trust no stinking polls.
Me no feel a need to prove the stinking obvious.
Just changed the title for the second time today!

I settled on the Rasmussen poll pretty early on because it was consistent in its methodology. That let me check in on it for shifts in general trends.
Once a LOT of people have made up their minds, it isn't likely that A LOT of them will change them. That made the polls showing rapid swings suspect, at best.
Guess you've read Sneezy my own typo for Snezy by now.
There is a difference between using definitions incorrectly and overlooking typographical errors, though.
The national polls were by definition misleading because they didn't account for electoral votes. Hitlery's concentrated support in large urban centers: NYC, Chicago, and Bay Area CA slanted the national popular vote, but the more wide-spread less urban vote was more important electorally.
pollsters influencing the data, the media unduly influencing opinion, the angry echo chamber silencing disagreement.
Wonder how many "agree with me or I'll make you miserable" PC bullies got secretly paid back Tuesday.
I went on record saying the emails would sink Hillary way back in the primaries. I was wrong there. Then I said that someone was going to come along out of the woodwork and bump her out of the running like happened with Obama. I thought it would be Sanders. I was wrong on that one. As it turned out I was "sort of right" in the end, in that her crookedness came back to haunt her and Trump came out of the proverbial woodwork and kicked her out for good. three cheers for Karma...
Recall during a debate Trump telling Hillary something akin to "Seven in one day this late? Come On!"
All the evil hag did was to say nothing about it. Do believe she did not directly respond to Trump's accusations about her email scandal either, which included the wanton destruction of subpoenaed evidence.
There are two polls that got it right~

Those who got it wrong I suspect were not all that innocent.
