    Your attempt to state a fact fails again, you have simply stated an opinion.  My opinion is that the new president will be more than adequate.

  • LOL I will hold you to that then.. and when you are wrong can I laugh my head off :P  Seriously a man who has no manners, little intelligence, and who insults everyone and everything other than his cronies nothing good can come of that UNLESS the system prevents him from doing as much damage as he promises

    Seriously, you will hold me to nothing and I don't interact with foreigners about the election.

    I don't know, I'm probably biased because I love Obama. I'm willing to give Trump a chance, though. I will have to wait and see what he does.

    The Presidency tends to magnify what the person already is, which PET has shown us quite clearly.

    I will surely miss him and his family.  He has shown nothing but class these last 8 years under very difficult circumstances.

    Many that still cannot appreciate that just may if Trump don't show some class himself once he is sworn in.

    I have many differences with President Obama (particularly my contention that he's a tyrant and a war criminal), but I will grant he shows a depth of intellect and a certain level-headedness (at least in public, I've read he can be temperamental in private) which I find admirable.

    The evidence to date suggests Trump will be very different. Within the past week, Trump has taken to Twitter to whine about the cast of Hamilton pleading its desires to VP-elect Pence and about Saturday Night Live caricaturizing him.

    Yes, taking to Twitter is a trivial response, and these are trivial incidents. But THAT'S EXACTLY THE POINT. Trump is taking the time to focus on such trivia and to complain about criticism that ANY president will inherently endure. Experienced rational politicians know the best way of dealing with it is to ignore it, or play along with the jokes (which has the effect of disarming the criticism). Trump, apparently, does not understand this.

    I think the checks and balances inherent in our political system, along with organice political pressures (e.g. other GOP politicians tell Trump to quit being such a thin-skinned self-centered nincompoop) will mitigate the damage Trump can do, but I suspect there will be many more incidents such as the ones I describe above.

  • The ahole needs to grow some cajones  and get used to it. 

    Is it so difficult to just say that, instead of your space wasting blabber?

    Even if I dislike the PET I dont think you should talk about him in such simplistic old fashioned macho ways. Having courage isn't about size of cajones and the ahole is not even worthy for a disagreement in the kindergarten.

    @Ran -- According to many Trump supporters (who tend to be authoritarian), his displays of histrionics and threats against perceived "enemies" IS a display of his "cajones."

    I tend to disagree. To me they are the hallmarks of narcissism and bullying, but we can't assume everyone has the same definition of "cajones" as you do.

  • Probably not. I wonder what you think. I really do. I wish there was a way to get this information.
