I still can't stop laughing at the butthurt.

Funny thing is, you can tell the liberals know they're being hypocrites. They really, really want to lash out and throw a fit, but they know they ridiculed Obama critics for far less for years. Nevermind no one really started critiquing Obama until a good 18 months in (that doesn't register).

Generally, the reaction of the "intellectual elite" is what you'd expect when someone comes in and says "I replaced your textbooks with comics..." The entire thing is so much more about being self important, than self aware.

When considering granting power at the federal level, I'd say it's always helpful to imagine yourself doing so with the worst-case overseers in position.
Thank you… That's because it always comes to that at some point

You can say that about the more prolific conservative posters on this site.

And this, in a nutshell, is the reason for my belief in "minarchism."

The Trump government is basically Goldman Sachs.

So much for "Draining the swamp"; 2020 can't come soon enough!

Gonna be an entertaining four years to say the least. I thought the Twitter crying from our president elect would subside and he would start focusing on more important matters. WRONG.

Entertaining and hopefully nothing gets done at the Federal level. That's our only hope.

Lulz. You telling anyone to grow up is the height of irony.

It does kinda seem like this. These choices really don't seem less problematic than those of administrations past.

Initially, I thought the same. Now, I wonder if it'll change even after he becomes president.

Honestly, I'm thinking this was a best-case-scenario even before the election was decided.

The best thing Trump can do (or Hillary could have done, for that matter) is cause gridlock. I continue to be more and more convinced that the least oppressive government is the least effective government.

Are you certain she won't run in 2020? If she does, after this election, she could definitely win.

If she runs, what will crack me up the most is how her campaign will change, only to grab the most votes. Those who were once deplorables will now be targeted for votes, etc. Can't wait.

Are the Dems that dumb to rig another primary for her? I say there is a very small chance she runs, but it also wouldn't shock me, because her ego has no limitation on how low can it go. The better questions:

-Assuming the DNC doesn't play any favorites again, could Hillary even win the primary? I have a hard time seeing her defeat Warren, Booker, or Sanders. It also wouldn't shock me if the DNC played favorites again, because deep down I don't think they want their party to turn into the socialist party.

-Her health was questionable this election, will her health be better in 4 years?

-Will she even have any $$ in her war chest? Sounds like the Clinton Foundation has already seen a significant drop in donations. She couldn't even beat Trump when she out spent him by a massive amount.

-Do the Dems even want the Clintons around anymore?

Overall, Hillary running again would be a win for the GOP. There obviously wasn't enough enthusiasm for Hillary this election, it will be even worse if she is the candidate in 2020. Not only that, but if she were the candidate she would prevent the few bright spots the Dems have from running.

No way Hillary runs again. No way Bernie runs again. You'll see some fresh faces next time. Booker will probably be the front runner although I 'm not sure its a great idea. He's a wall street shill like Hillary, and he might even be more narcissistic than both Clintons.

I could see Bernie going for it again, even though he is old as fuck.

Nah.. he'll give someone his endorsement but he wont run again. His endorsement will be worth more than Hillary's.
