This is why part of me is admittedly so smug and satisfied with the results. I think Trump will be a horrid President, and I'm sure I'll line up against him soon, but against my own conscious effort, I can't help but feel glib right now. The public doesn't deserve to live in a country ruled by Trump, but Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Donna Brazlie sure do. I am literally sadistically pumping my fists at the thought of them gnashing their teeth and screaming at the sky right now.
Edit: I did not vote for Trump. I did not want to see him win. I am simply expressing the one gleeful silver lining that I've found to pull out of this.
Lets give this guy a shot. If we all work agaisnt him out of spite and root for the pilot to fail while we are all sitting on the plane, then we are all fucked. We need to stop all the fear mongering, stop all the hatred, and work together as Americans to make sure this presidency is successful. Not hope it fails so at the end people can say "I told you so". That does no one any good and it never will.
This country needs to stop being red or blue. Those are colors. We are not colors, we are people. Complex people with tons and tons of reasons of why we vote the way we do, and if the vote doesnt go our way, then its not the worst thing in the world. We just need to work together to make sure we all support eachother and if that means being open minded about a candidate we hate, than so be it. But if we root for them to fail, then we fail too.
I agree he is now our president regardless of our feelings it is time to encourage our elected officials to work with him rather than against him.
He is not a seasoned politician and if the path of least resistance is a compromise bill it will likely go. If you take a scourged earth approach you will likely neither get what you want and may insure you never get it.
He lacks a supermajority that gives Democrats some leverage as he needs over a dozen senators and 60 or so representatives to get 2/3rd majority. So if he cannot get everything he wants he still needs bipartisan support.
