It sucks and our country took a step backwards today by electing a moron but it will ultimately be fine. There is still power to stop Trump if he doesn't do a good job. |

Agreed. We didn't elect a dictator. A government of checks and balances. For MANY Americans they're already not in ideal situations and losing out. They took a shot. I disagree with them but I get it. |

Not according to the 60 minutes story a few weeks back. The President gives the order,the General obeys the order. |

I disagree with them but I get it. You and Brick are correct. I do not really want to hear complaining however if Trump becomes some sort of executive order machine even if it is only to reverse previous orders. |

This belief of a nuclear WW3 was one of the more preposterous memes of the cycle. |

There is still power to stop Trump if he doesn't do a good job. he'll be castrated like most presidents are. during the campaign, the hopefuls always have a big mouth and are full of promises. people seem to forget how hopeless the 2000 election was. at least we won't have to suffer through a shitty recount this time. we can't get much worse as a country than we are now; and if 8 years of W led us to Obama, maybe this could lead us to the better half in 2020. |

If we were ever on the brink of nuclear war it is a much different discussion then him waking up one day and being mad and saying "Just nuke them!". The fact is that if Trump was to ever even consider launching a nuclear weapon he probably is going to be ignored and probably forcibly removed from power. |

By the time he launches one it would be too late. |

Trump would never nuke his BFF Putin. After all, his hackers rigged the election for Trump. |

Agreed, BRick. The initial shock has worn off. Trump will now move towards the center. |

The potential 15-25 million folks that have insurance coverage solely because of the ACA, not to mention a few million more on Medicaid, have no rational basis - nor do you, I might add - to think that they'll be 'fine'. |

Except for the state part it will look a lot like Obama's first two years with Reid and Pelosi. Elections have consequences. |

If it isn't working, there's another election for Congress in 2 years. |

We will be "fine" in the sense that domestic life won't change much. I still have fears about foreign policy. I'm trying to be optimistic and feel better than I did last night. That said, to dismiss other people's worries out of hand seems a bit arrogant to me. There are legitimate fears out there. |
