I think everyone who did not vote for him should tweet LOSER! to him the next day. Think of it-several million tweets telling him what a loser he is.

That’s not a very high-ground thing to do. I think there will be a lot of hurt butts and it will be important to not alienate people more than they already are. The more the country can come together, the better.

I am already tired of the endless screaming that HRC’s 400 EV win was rigged and the will of all real Americans was subverted. Four years of it is going to be… painful.

America loses no matter which candidate wins. Hillary is a horrible human being utterly unworthy of public office, much less POTUS. Trump is batshit insane. There is no good outcome here. Best case scenario is Clinton wins but dies before being sworn in.

Traffic is already down in Trump properties. Anyone who didn’t vote for him should boycott them. Since most of his support comes from white men without college educations, they will hardly be able to afford to buy one meatball there.

You’re going to be a _real_ ray of sunshine if the Senate flips to Democratic control, ain’t ya, sparky?

Just think: A SCOTUS with a majority of fresh, young liberal faces, none of them looking to die or retire any time soon, all of them raring to hand down important decisions on gerrymandering and voter restriction laws to ensure that more and more House races become competitive.

You should probably know that all but one of my campaign contributions in recent years have gone to Democrats. I don’t really have a problem with sane, reasonable Democrats not named Hillary. Hell, I’m Facebook friends with several elected Democrats in an otherwise very red state.

Actually, 538 did some digging into Trump supporters and found that, at least in terms of people who came out to vote in the primaries, the median family income of a Trump supporter was $72,000, a figure substantially higher than the national median of $56,000, and considerably higher also than the median incomes of Democratic primary voters.
