    That's speculation

    Where as Hillary lack of respect is fact to quote her "What does it matter anymore"

    Does it?

    Political football nonsense no one really cares.

    More bodies from American foreign policy with the republicans in charge this will continue.

    Its weird people think this will change.

    They farm young Republican working class for the military.

    BBC are reporting an NBC journalist has talked to Hillary and she has conceded.

    Quite amazing that Romney got absolutely slammed for using the phrase "binders full of women" (when he meant to say "binders of resumes of women")......and Trump suffers practically zero fallout from being an out and out misogynist......some of the polling data coming in shows that in some states he performed stronger among women than Clinton!!

    Because the Benghazi guards she hired under her watch were terrorists who turned on the facility.

    Where do people get the idea that Trump will be gracious? He hasn't been so far.

    Sounded pretty gracious for the few minutes I listen to his acceptance speech

    I don't blame Trump and I don't blame the millions of people that voted for him. The same with Brexit. Plenty of angry, racist rhetoric on both sides of the water, but the real story is that the political establishment cannot perpetually ride roughshod over people. It turned out to be Trump and Brexit, but it could have been someone else and some other act of defiance.

    2016, when the chickens came home to roost.

    Trump has gotten away with well documented corruption too though. Perhaps he was just just so brazen about it and that's why people look past it.

    He's a conman and neither were/are fit for the role.

    Prepare to see 4 years+ of the dismantling of any progressive legislation. The stifling of civil rights of many many people, the lining up pockets of military contractors, same old same old business men and Trump himself.

    America needs a long hard look at itself. Overdue a third party that could make in grounds but people voted on the very simple and empty promise of jobs and immigration.

    Don't blame people for not wanting Clinton, but seriously Donald fckn Trump. An heir, a failed businessman multiple times over, a conman, a misogynist, a xenophobe. Its just short of having Palin as his secretary of state to bein a fascist led country imo

    Big business are quids in.

    And the wealthy.

    This gives nothing to working people.

    Laugh able really.
