The Democrats opted to build a coalition which failed to include white male idiots. In retrospect how could that have succeeded ?       
                                                                                                                                   Cuban                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              

Rome survived Nero, China survived Mao, Russia survived Stalin, Germany survived Hitler, Uganda survived Idi Amin, Cambodia survived Pol Pot. So why the wailing and gnashing of teeth over Drumpf? He is almost harmless in comparison. A little bit of racism here, a bit of sexism there, a few deportations and a wall. Bigly deal! Plus an Eastern Bloc model, if not a role model, thrown in for free as First Lady.
And Secretary Clinton? Server right! Trivia counts.
For want of a nail the shoe was lost,
for want of a shoe the horse was lost,
for want of a horse the knight was lost,
for want of a knight the battle was lost,
for want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
So a kingdom was lost—all for want of a nail.
The Secretary should take up shorthand-typing, as the technology might serve 'er better.

The innocent assumption is Trump will not implement more than 10% of what he said (which is a lot!!). What if we are wrong and he is serious??? History has shown that these mistakes happen.

Had Hillary been a tad more likable, a tad less bathed in sudden wealth, or tad less teller of obvious untruths, she would have won by a landslide.  She didn’t listen to your “don’t blow this, Hillary!”

What about Trump!!! Death and Despair how did we anger the Gods so profoundly?

Like many millions around the world we are hoping that by the dawn’s early light we will find out the Hillary has averted Trumpageddon                                                                                                                                                                                                   Mancunian                                                                                                


Hillary turned out to be weak candidate to run against Trump. How would Bernie have done if he had won the Democratic nomination?

Does the Trump Post Office Hotel in DC have anything to do with Centenary of the Easter Uprising?  Cos this result looks like a once in a century disaster.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Irishman   
      

 Cyclops: problem with people who are intelligent, well educated, generous, not afraid of foreigners or people of different religions, like you and me--is that we persistently make the mistake that we are a majority, instead of a small minority!
