The last time the GOP had the Presidency, Congress, and the Senate was 1928. What followed was the Great Depression of '29, the rise of Hitler, and this little skirmish called WW2. Fun times.

Trump is the kid who shouted "Teachers are bad!" and promised pizza parties every day to win the middle school election.
How is he going to get me my pizza?

Hillary is the kid who's friends with the principal, and even though you'd like to think she's going to be on your side, you have this sneaking suspicion that she's going to shorten recess by 10 seconds every day until you only get a 5 minute lunch to eat your mandatory vegan hamburger in a teacher sanctioned "safe space".

This election just proves how uninformed voters have become, and I'm sorry to say, how many haters there are in this country.

And to all you principled Gary Johnson and Jill Stein supporters, congratulations. You helped elect Donald Trump  through his victories in Florida, Pennsylvania, and Michigan, among others. Enjoy the next 4-8 years.

I disagree with this. I know a LOT of people who voted for Johnson and none of them would've voted for HRC if Johnson was not an option.

Are you saying they would have voted for Trump or simply not voted?

I also know people who voted for Johnson, and today they deeply regret not voting for Hillary.

It's all hindsight, but I can't believe that the Johnson voters are happy with a Trump result, and even Johnson's own running mate, William Weld, said in the closing weeks of the campaign that he was focusing his efforts on trying to prevent a Trump presidency.

I think they all think Trump is a despicable person, but HRC is dangerously corrupt. None of the people I know that voted for Johnson regret it. Their hope was to get libertarians 5% so this two party system would end.

In 1968, George Wallace had 13.5% as a third party candidate, and in 1992, Ross Perot had 19% as a third party candidate; neither had any effect on the two party system.

Regardless, I think if HRC had won, Trump supporters would've blamed Johnson for that too.

The people of this country have wanted Reagan back since 1988. There have been two revolutionary developments in American politics this century: FDR's New Deal, and the Reagan return to smaller government and traditional values.

Trump is no Reagan. He has no real core belief, though he does seem to share with Reagan a vital pro-Americanism. And his message managed to appeal to the core Reagan voter in a way that has not been done since 1988. That's why Michigan, Penn, Ohio, Wisconsin all flipped.

It wasn't about bigotry. It was a complete rejection of progressive preaching. Most people want all races and creeds to have a fair shot. No one supports injustice. But we live in a complicated world, and these things can't all be fixed by government decree. When blacks get shot by police, it's complicated. The root causes of Islamic terrorism are complex, and though political correctness makes for an easy and comfortable ideology, it doesn't honestly approach the problem. And though most people believe immigration is essential to America, opening borders so we can bring a flood of new voters looking for benefits, or a flood of cheap labor, isn't helping those communities. So that too is complicated.

People like Obama the man. But the country has rejected Obamaism at every chance: 2010, 2012, and now 2016. 2014 reflected his personal popularity, but Republicans have swept the state houses of this country and both houses of Congress since 2010. That's a rejection of the Obama policies.

And finally, this is a rejection of a massively corrupt poltical machine. People can passify themselves with thoughts like "they all lie" or "they all sell influence", but that's the kool aid at work. The Clinton Machine is one of the most corrupt since Tammany. It has tentacles all through the vast bureaucracy, all of those tentacles getting extremely wealthy off their government connection. People have had enough of that. The Democrat Party needs to take a long, hard look at what it has become. Bernie's policies are naive, but at least he was an honest man. The Democrats need an infusion of more of that.

I heard Trump and his supporters talk a lot about how "rigged" the election was against him, and never heard Johnson's name come up among all the reasons they thought the odds were against him.

I suppose my biggest gripe with the Johnson vote is that he was no Bernie Sanders or Michael Bloomberg, both independents that could have credibly run as a third party candidate. Johnson blanked at what he would do about Aleppo, Syria ("What's Aleppo?"), and blanked again when he was asked what current foreign leader he respected ("Uh, the former president of Mexico." - who he couldn't remember by name!).

I get the argument that neither Trump or Hillary were attractive candidates, but I've held my nose in every election I've ever voted, knowing that whoever I voted for had a chance to be elected. Johnson had no chance to be elected, a vote for him had no effect on the two party system, and as far as I can tell, he left no political or social platform theme that will ever be remembered - other than "What's Aleppo?"

Say what you all will...Trump is going to continue to do exactly what he's done the last 18+ months - prove everyone wrong.

He can do it.  We can do it.  It's time for a change and The Don will make that happen.

Hey, you want to reject The Man and replace the system - go right ahead... but you better have a good fucking system to replace it with... not some wildcard ticking time-bomb who has no previous political experience, no concept of foreign policy, and is just flat out - out of his depth. This is a man with the full support of every racist white group in America, a building history of sex scandals, and arguably the greediest fucking human being on the planet.

You can talk about Clinton's corruption all you want, just wait until the man who never said no to a deal he didn't like has 4 years of political white house corruption behind him. are you kidding me right now? Every special interest group on the planet is drooling right now to buy out the man who would sell out his own grandma if it lined his pockets.

Well done, America. You just handed the key to America's 1500 or whatever nuclear weapons to a man who got baited into a blathering meltdown on Twitter by Rosie Fucking O'Donnell. The Valdimir Putin's and Kim Jongs of the world are going to eat him alive.
