Nausea, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, diarrhea!

The leaked emails where Clinton's team wanted Trump to have a good chance at winning the Republican nomination look really bad now, seeing how he actually WON. They didn't give a poo poo that someone that terrible could be a step away from the White House, they only cared about making DREAD ABUELA the 1st woman president.

Agreed. But liberals think they are better than rural white trash and don't listen to them. Can you blame how angry white Poor's are who've lost their jobs to globalism and offhshoring? Democrat policies help them more than Republicians though.

Anyway I liked Trump's victory speech, he makes it seem things won't be so bad. I know better but I gotta find hope where I can.

Trying to come up with a list of all the ways Trump's campaign was a poo poo show, but in the end none of it mattered. Nothing matters.

E: Somebody kind of said it on the previous page but lol if you got a poli sci degree in the last few years. That whole field is going to be taking a good, long look inwards for a while.

Just your typical platitudes about unity and working for ALL of us. He was gracious in giving credit to Hillary for how hard she worked on her campaign. He said some things I agree with like rebuilding our infrastructure. But as the man himself says, these are just words. I just hope my worst fears don't get realized, plunging in a war, further income disparity, wider gap between rich and poor which would lead to another recession worse than the last.

He made positive remarks about Clinton, said politics is a nasty, nasty business, spoke about rebuilding our infrastructure and creating jobs out of that, then made comments stressing that he will be a President for all Americans regardless of race, religion, or political party and then thanked his family and close supporters. It was a carefully written speech and just words but they weren't bad words.
