If he threatens to pull out of them, that may lead to an increase in tariffs, and the cost of goods will rise. Hopefully, he does not do that and instead keeps the current trade deals once he figures out pulling out of them would hurt prices of everyday goods.



He will be our President and I do hope he does maintain that rationality. I also hope he does not listen to the crazies and instead takes a moderate approach.
He is less cray than Ted Cruz.

Wow. Passed out way early last night.

Donald Trump is the leader of the free world. I am ready for the shitshow!


I would now focus my pointing and laughing to the DNC.

Zwick is now 0-2 and he thinks he's smarter than most of us. Take it easy on him, he's nothing but a sheep to the DNC and it's hard for him to accept how wrong they are.

The state that raised him and is the reason for his nickname he made sure take a huge shit on on his way out the door as he's going to a blue state now. Guys a fraud and loser.

Whitelash? Trump was ahead in exit polls among blacks compared to Romney 4 years ago. He was able to get enough blacks to realize that the DNC only pays attention every 4 years to you. Even with one of your own in the WH the last 8!

Sleeper, Zwick, Boat, jed, isadore.....GOODNIGHT NOW

He won't, never was going to...and LOL @ you people for thinking that humping those memes for 6 months was a winning strategery. The best quote from one of last night's pundits was something I've been saying for months now:

"The media and the democrats take him literally, but not seriously. His supporters take him seriously, but not literally."

Who takes the biggest loss in all of this other than the country? I see the media. They have been completely exposed.

Also liberals only have themselves to blame. The smugness and lack of humility played a big part in motivating pissed off people to vote.

Also X factor in this election.. Dems divide and conquer conquest. It led to trump playing the game. He found the working class. Oh the irony of Dems losing to divide and conquer.

Let's hope. Really, let's hope he does not enact much of what he said throughout the campaign.
Reince already said there will not be a deportation force, so there's that...

Agree, the media got pounded and institutions as a whole took a hit.
Agree on the last part too. Trump won with a remarkable strategy.

no blindness.. I know hillary is a flawed candidate. Trump is a flawed human being though.

Zwick, calling people and supporters racist, sexist, etc is what got the democrats in this mess (besides putting up the most unelectable candidate ever, honestly wtf were they thinking). But painting a broad brush on people for having differing opinions pissed off a lot of these silent democrat voters

I don't remember which network I was watching at the time, but someone referenced a poll that stated that 18% of voters disliked both candidates? Anyone know anything about this? I would have thought this would be a far higher number, even with the party-line sheeple on both sides.

I'm somewhat enjoying it.

The wannabe feminists are my favorite so far. Yeah...she totally lost because she's a woman.

by silent democrat voters, you mean middle aged white men. Yes, we know Trump did a great job with them. They didn't vote for Hillary in the primaries either, remember?
