Trump, Pence, Bannon, Pryor..... Conversion camps, KKK sympathizers, race registries, oh boy. I think we just set our clocks back about 50 years. Racists and homophobes galore...

How about Ted Cruz for possible AG? Maybe it's just me, but that man creeps me out.

Penoyer, you should consider whether these exaggerations of yours are healthy.

And in case you are wondering, yes, I have said the same things to my conservative friends when they say, for example, that Obama is Muslim and wants to secretly bring sharia to the US.

It's utter madness to succumb to these wild exaggerations and accusations.

And it's just weird.

Quoted from Grandma Bear How about Ted Cruz for possible AG? Maybe it's just me, but that man creeps me out.

Back in March, Cruz suggested that the U.S. government should "patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods". That sounded Nazi-like then, and even worse now given the post-election fear in the streets.

Cruz has a huge creep factor.

I do think we have to not over weigh things that are said in a campaign. Bernie and Hillary were not going to give free college tuition to everyone. Trump is not going deport 15 million people.

I'm not defending outrageous statements, just saying we can relax a little.

Back in 2008, Obama's future energy czar called for policies that would raise gas to $10 a gallon. Obama seconded it, though he said the change should be gradual. None of that happened.

Quoted from leitskev Cruz has a huge creep factor. I do think we have to not over weigh things that are said in a campaign. Bernie and Hillary were not going to give free college tuition to everyone. Trump is not going deport 15 million people.

Big diff between Democratic rhetoric about free stuff vs. GOP rhetoric about how we should treat non-white people in America.

Trump created the current widespread fear, and whether or not he did it to get elected, it will likely never go away.  Those Tweets and his speeches are forever in black ink.

I can't help it, but whenever I see Cruz, I think of Blackadder in season 1.

I just got back from a 15 day cruise through Panama (riddled with flu by the way - finally recovering). So, I got the election results while in Nicaragua. Guess my feelings could have been summed up as bewildered.

My personal feelings have been that Trump is insane and psychologically damaged with no impulse control. All dangerous characteristics for a President. I sincerely hope I am dead wrong. I hope he turns out to be great.

I think he got elected because folks believe that traditional politicians have abandoned them in favor of lobbyist and bankers and merely have an interest in getting elected rather than in serving those they represent. I believe that as well and could have voted for any sane person that represented that position. Good God, I hope I am wrong about Trump. I am going to try to keep an open mind.

Good post Dave.

You can always count on Jon for rational thinking

Not 1 day in office yet and Ford will stay in Kentucky to make big suv's (the cars people want to drive) Apple will make iphones in the US, and gone soon will be a president that travelled the world for 8yrs apologizing for his country which he is supposed to love. Illegals (that means the law which a civilized society agrees to follow) will realize now that they are free to return to lawful citizenship of their countries, whereby they have been most certainly missed.

What a win-win for everyone!

Quoted from TonyDionisio Not 1 day in office yet and Ford will stay in Kentucky to make big suv's (the cars people want to drive) Apple will make iphones in the US

Ford was never leaving. This is just Trump propaganda that for some reason people believe. The reality: "Asked if the company had any prior plans to shutter the plant, the Ford spokesman said it did not. 'No plans to close plants.'"

Apple is "considering" making phones in the US. Don't hold your breath. The position has basically been an ongoing Apple mantra for ten years.

Trump Tweets are not a legitimate source of news.

Quoted from Bogey Trump Tweets are not a legitimate source of news.

Actually, they kind of are -- if you take the opposite of whatever he says.

When he tweets, you know something, somewhere has struck a nerve.

Whatever he is "counter-punching" against contains at least a kernel of painful truth.

I suspect this will be ignored or dismissed too.

And look, I've always supported free trade, so I didn't back Trump on this.

But I keep an open mind. Let things play out, and let's cover them honestly. I've seen this before in my lifetime. In 1980, things were so bleak it was said the economy was not in recession, it was at the beginning of a permanent decline. Then Reagan completely turned it around. Did this result in the liberal media saying, wow, we were wrong! And this is really benefiting millions of people! Nope. They started calling success "greed". And to this day liberals rewrite that history. Ask Andrew!

That's how it will be now. The media and liberals say Trump won't bring jobs back. If he succeeds, they'll say, yeah, but all this work means less time for leisure. And all this success is just greed. What about the poor guy who doesn't want to work?

Throughout his campaign Trump bragged, "I never settle lawsuits."

Today, 10 days after the election, he settled the California class action fraud lawsuit against his Trump University for $25 million. Speaks for itself.
