I'm not worried about any of that. Everything will go back to normal after the post-election hysteria dissipates.Are you worried about riots in CA?

RBG will probably live on through sheer stubbornness.If he serves two terms he'll likely get to put forward 3 new Justices of the Supreme Court. Ruth Bader Ginsberg and Anthony Kennedy aren't getting any younger.
To be completely honest, the media is partly to blame.How pro-Clinton press is spinning it now -
Media's fault - http://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2016/11/9/13570724/media-obsession-emails

Everyone is to be blamed but her.
Fact is that she was one of (if not the) least popular mainstream presidential candidates in American history. The fact that she won the popular vote only proves that a better candidate would have beaten Trump.How pro-Clinton press is spinning it now -

Exactly, "the wall" will be explained as a figure of speech for stricter control over borders, like the rest of his most controversial stuff.As worried as people are, I don't think he will be as bad as people expect. He clearly isn't as stupid as his character potrayed, think he will reign it in a bit now and *HOPEFULLY* do the smart thing.
None of this deportation / wall building etc will happen.
we still don't know what are in his tax returns ffs.
Spot on, baz. It's understandable because the alternative is so depressing but America now have a sociopathic idiot in charge of their country. Since when does giving more power to a person like this make them less dangerous?Anyone who thinks Trump will now turn into a big cuddly bear and says he was always smart - need to go back and watch What they said when Trump was performing on his feet during the debates.
Not taking line Trump will suddenly become all statesmanlike. The guy is a loose cannon
I called it as I saw it. The numbers are usually not wrong, in this case they were.Raoul, how does it feel to have been so completely wrong on Trump for an entire year?
The Clinton foundation is corrupt, its certainly not flimsyI've not been interested in American politics for long. I started observing after Obama's second election.
The sad part for Clinton is that form all I have heard and seen, the reasons why she'd dislikes so much are flimsy.
The corruption tag doesn't wash wig me at all. A lot of it has simply been bad timing and stuff that can look dodgy if you spin it.
For me, the false equivalency in this cycle has been astonishing.
Tearing up the climate deal is as bad as anything you can think of.I think it won't be as bad as anti-Trump people think it will be, but not as good as Trump voters imagine it will be either. I'm hoping this result will eventually lead to a reshaping of politics in general; with less contempt for decent working class voters, a genuine offer for them that isn't just lip-service to their issues and a marginalisation of career politics and spin.
That could all be wishful thinking, so let's at least have a minimum amount of pain for the people of the US and the wider world in the next four years and a hope that the democrats and moderates in general pull their fecking socks up and get some better candidates than Hillary Clinton.
From what I can see you are actually reacting to the news very wellI called it as I saw it. The numbers are usually not wrong, in this case they were.
