![]() i have to admit that i have more respect for Trump. He smartly ran a campaign based on HATE and HEAR. Americans responded to EMOTION because there was a lot of angry people out there in the midwest and south. regardless, he was the underdog and i always gain respect for when the underdog wins. with that said, hes said some sexist, racist things in the past. so i question his character and moral fiber. However i try to stay positive and hope that this leads to positive change. I'd label myself as more of a liberal (with fiscal conservative tendencies at times) but BALANCE is always good. despite his rhetoric, i think his job is to be a puppet for the GOP and execute their plans. i don't think this is the end of the world and i dont plan on moving to canada.
Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

All those Republicans who have been actually hurting them and making their lives harder are in full power now. DUDE I don't live in NY or a big city. I'm down in the HEART of RED AMERICA. I know EXACTLY what is going on. What has happened to these areas started a long time ago and it has nothing to do with Liberal Elites. Big Business did this to them. Big Money has control of the Government and still does. Trump is not a change agent that they believe him to be. HE IS THE VERY BIG BUSINESS member that screwed them to begin with and they let the Fox into the Hen House!!! |

![]() Folks were giddy over the idea that the GOP was coming apart and it's now the Democratic Party that has some serious issues going forward. They lost both houses and the presidency, and the Supreme Court is next. It's a day of reckoning for the Democrats. That old guard holding power in it has no more legitimacy.

EXACTLY!!! The problem is that many of the Progressive gains will be rolled back. This is the Republican's Wet Dream to have 100% control of the government. |

No I haven't looked at Trump's list of SC nominees. This is just my feeling.....and hope .....that during the election he pandered to the more extreme right wing to get votes. But Trump is Trump and will say and do what he wants. And now that is is the President elect, he is the most powerful person in the political establishment. He will continue to do what he wants/what his vision is for the future of America. To make the change in the corrupt political system that Trump is talking about, he must first change the campaign finance laws so big money doesn't buy candidates. So that is my hope. I am always optimistic at the beginning of new things ( like the Knicks seasons) and I give people the benefit of the doubt and hope for the best. Logically, this seems like what Trump will/should do. The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.

![]() Watching CBSN... commentator saying if Trump did what Hillary did last night, people would be up in arms. Yet again, people are asking "Where the heck is Hillary Clinton?"

![]() Glad to hear Trump has taken the high road so far, has talked about things like infrastructure improvements. Would like to hear how he is going to pay for it while cutting taxes. Hope this isnt another failed attempt to prove that trickle down economics work. Its right up there with alchemy.

![]() So, what of these "polls". It was brought up how Brexit was wrong and that our polls were oversampled. Is it another coincidence or is there something to it?
I mean, all of the MSM polls, wrong??? This is probably what Trump meant about corruption. The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift. Albert Einstein

![]() These are uncertain times, even scary to some degree, but Im taking some comfort right now that the Clinton dynasty in politics finally seems to be over. Good riddance.
Would like to see Tulsi Gabbard become the new face of the democratic party. I believe she has the background, and the smarts to reach across party lines without becoming republican lite. Hope so anyway. |

You can't look at this without context..Trump hinted he wouldn't concede and he would fight the outcome if he lost while Hillary said she would concede.. |
