Well, not for another three weeks.

And, this thread is NOT focused on looking back, and trying to re-do the election. This thread is concerned with trepidations about the President-elect, going forward. It is entirely valid and important that Americans stay engaged with their government, like it or not.

I think he is courageous to deal with real problems he is not a politician, he can become a stat man with his long term vision he is spontaneous and a winner. For sur , he ll face a big difficulties because America is already in deep problems:.

I doubt very much that any government releases info anyway, unless it's what they want other countries to believe.

I also doubt that even Hillary could be that stupid. I wouldn't mind betting that what she did with those emails was done on purpose, with the blessing of the President and probably the idea of the FBI.

The Americans told Russia and China exactly what the Americans wanted Russia and China to know.

We had a documentary here a few weeks ago, it was how our own MI5 catch terrorists etc, through phone tapping and email and all this stuff. So basically MI5 have told the BBC to make a documentary to tell the terrorists exactly what they want the terrorists to know.

yep,some Americans finally started to come to their Senses,when they voted against that 'Undocumented Felon' Hillary!
Trump is far from perfect,but definitely a step or two up from Hillary!

trump has good success with twitter so far might as well stay wit it, i dont think he will give away any secrets there are none people cant find out anyway, we have no secrets left, i think h will do a good job, i voted for him because he is a non politician , he edoesnt need to steal, her doesn't need bribes, and he hanst learned howto get around the the government yet, i believe he will keep us in mind on whatever he does, i expect him to fulfill his promised. all this depends on whether he gets killed before he actually gets in the white house, there is no protection from someone who is going to kill you
i know this from experience.. my hope is that he makes thru the inauguration alive. all the bikers in the world cant help him if someone is paid to kill him. i believe he was a good choice for us all. if he doesn't keep his promises ill never vote again.

its nice to believe that rich people dont steal,,,,

understandable since they are rarely nicked for it, as their wealth makes it more acceptable as a part of 'doing business'

I hope he will keep us in mind too, us including muslims, mexicans, women , and african americans

I see nothing , unfortunately, in his seventy years of wealth and resources that indicates he is prone to think of anything but his pockets,,,


I do not wish him any ill will, I hope he wont be the catastrophe his words and actions leave me feeling he will be , he won on a campaign of glamourizing impulsive outbursts and violence so I see he has a double edged sword of potential violent attacks against him

not only from the pool of those who didnt vote for him based on his campaign rhetoric

and from the equal pool of potentially violent suppoters who did vote for him , because of the same rhetoric

He'll do no worse than the egghead that we have had for the last 8 years. Hilary would have been a disaster. Trump is a result of them both ...enjoy!

its a tired cliche that it 'cant get worse'



things can ALWAYS be worse, in fact just eight short years ago they WERE worse,,,verge of depression worse

lack of experience and self control can be a fair predictor of how much worse things can get

I actually agree. It's life, he's going to be President in 15 days now and it is every American's right to speak up if they don't agree with our elected officials as long as they don't threaten or attempt to harm them.

It's called misdirection. You distract them and get them to look the opposite way while you do what you need to do while their distracted.

I highly doubt he will give out secrets. Joe Biden sure has. Every time he opens his mouth.

Doesn't matter. To some the guy will never be any good, regardless of what he does. Fault will be found.

They refuse to support the new President.. because their choice lost.

But they don't see just how clear that mindset is to everyone else, so it discounts anything coming out of their mouths.

Sour grapes has a long after taste

hit the nail on the head

with every President in my lifetime

some people always will find fault in ANYTHING a President does if that person was not their choice,,,

in Politics, it seems abundantly an 'us vs them' perception

dems seek any way to attach the negatives to republicans
reps seek any way to attach the negatives to dems
libs seek any way to attach the negatives to conservatives
etc,,,etc,,,etc,,,,


even in political campaigns,, rep will have all negative to say about other reps in the game,, as will dems

until someone is elected, and suddenly, all that negative is replaced with nothing but praise for 'their' candidate



the objective traits: give credit where credit is due and pause when it is earned

and

what's good for the goose,,,


are nearly extinct in the world of political discussion
