No salvation there, all are now in the hands of regressives who will end the Progressive era and pretty much everything that made America good.

It is one thing to talk about repealing Obama care, another to actually throw millions of Americans out of health coverage. I know it is scary to rely on this,
but I think the realpolitik of political survival will be a nod and a wink from both Ryan and Trump as Schumer repeatedly filibusters the repeal bills.

God willing of course.

I might have qualified under the ACA but stuck with my private insurer - probably a good thing.

You are terribly naive. Since when did the Republicans give a flying fuck about the suffering of the poor or infirm. God made them that way for a reason.

No matter how well educated your most beautiful female neighbor is the chances are she may have voted for him too. Can you really walk out your door knowing this and hate everyone because you are surrounded by people that didn't come outside telling the world that they supported him and just went and silently voted for him so they could do so without hearing you call them uneducated? Go read the deplorables, you may see your neighbors picture holding their ballot marked trump. Such beautiful women of all ages ranging 18 to 90's. Yes, even 90's, and yes even in Maryland Rob. Some even had their old past middle aged kids to video them just incase nobody believed Trump had women support in those hard to believe areas. Thanks tv news, thanks for lying to people trying to dictate how they think... you did nothing but pissed off the people by lying, and Clinton drove the final nail by calling his supporters deplorable. You don't call hard working women deplorables..
So, I'm surrounded by gullible folks that can't be bothered to do their own Internet research outside of their echo chamber comfort zone.

A lot of the gullibles will eventually wake up. It's the ones who know exactly what they've voted for that worry me.

I am reveling in this.

Trump's election is a giant "Fuck You" to the corrupt elites than run both major parties. A sleeping giant has been awakened. There's going to be a lot of pain in the short run. But in the long run it's going to be a good thing.

Tom I hate to break this to you but they re-elected 99% of the corrupt elites so what is likely to change?

That doesn't matter.

Trump is the Big Kahuna.

They all thought that he would be poison to the down ballot Republicans, but instead they got swept in on his coat tails. All of his detractors will now be rushing to kneel before him.
