I'd cry, too, if I lived in a country that didn't know how to lose in regularly scheduled tests of its democratic governance, lowering the bar so low to offer a disgusted electorate the two most unpopular candidates in its history.
Boehner was "my man" for trying to make the republic's dysfunctional system work as the founders intended by re-writing over many years. The GOP vowed to oppose everything Obama proposed before he was sworn in; Obama's plea to the party was the opposite at his last press conference.
Until Americans learn to lose--- and win---respecting each other and their institutions they will remain a great country tearing itself to pieces, a collective "party of the people" a distant memory. On a personal note, James and I are Canadians of differing sides who know how to lose. I lose more often!

The sociopathic degree of your ignorant pomposity is really hilarious. Your generalizations, according to the subjective morality of your commie philosophy are only valid to your fellow anti-American, statist, religious nuttjobs. As usual, you ignore the objective reality of the situation. On one hand, we had a candidate that promised perpetuating the statist agenda of economic destruction and loss of freedom, a fact of the last eight years. The other candidate promised change and relief from the statist policies of the past, but who was relentlessly psychopolitically demonized on a personal level. Just like any Republican would have been. Obviously only the dupes, minions, and useful idiots bought into that one. Now, as expected, you continue to parrot the psychopolitical narrative, despite it being de facto disproven by the election results. You are irrelevant, as are references to your country, and are becoming pathetically more so with each passing day.
I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.

....Until Americans learn to lose--- and win---respecting each other and their institutions they will remain a great country tearing itself to pieces.... Mop up those tears. Common ground yet again, you don't live here. Just kidding, we'll get a list of places you can vote anyway. You let your feelings run away with you because of the polls that lets you down. In truth, there was really only one most unpopular candidate in history. The country completely understood hill. She said it herself, well parroted michelle, 'when I go low, give me a minute, I'll go lower'. She's really stepped it up eh, in the last couple of weeks.

A person so partisan to say the vote is the end of Washington's "tyranny," to believe the US will be mended by more of the selfishness posted here, is about to learn the limits of power, "the objective reality" of the conversation.

I've broadcast here my opinion of Clinton and Trump, amassing hundreds of millions because they're Clinton and Trump. Their quotes are embarrassments to themselves, their parties, their country and the world. Get over it. Tit-for-tat is childish. Sandboxes are for play or excretions. Your vote was to rid yourselves of lousy representation. Get on with it, as most other countries do.

No trout at Tim's. Fishing for wild brook trout on open-year-round, 10 daily limit, virgin Cape Breton Island of Nova Scotia.

Craig, " the most unpopular candidate in history" got 2 million more votes than Trump. I can easily understand someone not liking Hillary Clinton, but it's hard to grasp why anyone would consider Trump's election a resounding mandate for anything. The guy got in by the skin of his teeth. It will be most interesting to see how we all fare a few months down the road. I hope for the best but fear for the worst.

King, it doesn't look like you're 'getting over it'. If Trump builds a hundred more towers over the next four years, and pulls a random name out of the basket of deplorables, he'll make a better selection than the divisive purpose driven legislative ideolog that hill would'a force fed us on the 'new' 5-4 Supreme court. It's weird huh, a conservative court will generally limit its power, hill said she wanted one that would progress into a new world. But hey, the high court served up ocare on a platter, a glorious thing the left would rather forget. Don't forget what Ken mentioned, the high court ruled it was a 'tax', didn't they? Time to move on, eh? Shellfish have to be brought up again and again, it's only any good when it's fresh. Are you looking towards the future, or concerned about the 'legacy'. Step back, take a breath, bo'll get a moderate sprinkling of gratuitous kudos. Well since he didn't teach 'em to read, it'll take the form of stick figure illustrations on social media.

Of anyone here Bill, you would seem to be the last person who would want a more populous state like kali telling folks in Montana what to do. Do you want their hunting regs dictating if you can access your favorite spots? Since you're fearing for the worst, you're willing to speculate. What do you think would happen if all of western and upstate New York or Northern California was put into play. You honestly don't believe Trump would have recognized the numbers and spent time in the areas were folks give up and don't bother to vote? You do understand that as a courtesy, the election reporters will wait till the second that kali polls close. Then, they immediately call the state for the dem and had them 55 electoral votes. Is that 'fair' to spot the dem 20% of the vote that they need, just for having a pulse. I bet there's a ton of Californians who would beg to differ if they thought it mattered.
