Hillary was like a third term for Bill and I guess the Rust Belters remembered Bill.

A couple of generations raised pampered and coddled. They threw a tantrum and Mommy would pick them up and soothe them, give them a cookie. Now they think stomping their feet will get them what they want, to hell with the rules.
I got the proper response when I acted up as a kid- "Go ahead, throw a little fit. Get down on the floor and kick and scream. If you want to cry, I'll give you something to cry about."

These little snowflakes can pitch a bitch all they want about not liking the new prez. They think we've enjoyed the last 8 years? Suck it up buttercup.

It was old white people who elected Trump, people just like you and me.

And supposing he didn't get that 37% of millennials? Who would be prez?

The answer to that one is obvious but doesn't happen to be the point I was responding to. As it happens, Romney got 37% of the Millennial vote too but that's not on point either.

The chief sore loser-

On Wednesday White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the president still believes Mr. Trump is unfit to succeed him but respects the outcome of the election.

The Obamas canceled a photo-op of the current and future first couples outside the south entrance of the White House.

He is, in fact unfit, but he is the President elect.
Good luck with that shit.

I vaguely remember some folks talking about elections having consequences, and chickens coming home to roost.
