TheYanks deserve what they've got. I just hope the CIA get another Lee Harvey Oswald set up.

Be careful what you wish for, if for some reason trump cannot serve as president then Pence will step in his place and he is far more right wing than Trump is!!!!

As for opinion polls, first they got it wildly wrong with Brexit, now they get this one completely wrong as well!!! They are done as regards anyone trusting them!!

The CIA/FBI will give him a chance first before having him accidently shot!

Peso's crashing, Mexicans will be running faster this way soon Laugh

Trump voters all came from the poorest, southern states. Areas with 10% college education rate. That says it all, it's not about change or anything like that. Pure hate and racism from the filthy segregated south carried Trump nothing to do with policy.

Now they have the validation they seek to harm others based on their ignorant opinions.

There are lots of people I know whom are devastated by this. The clock is going to be turned further back in a backwards country which had no leeway for such a thing.

The last time the Republicans won the Senate, House & Presidency was in the late 1920's. Shortly before the great depression... They're about to steal everything hand over fist. Glad I'll be going to blighty for a few months at Xmas now :O

But it wasn't just the South SS, it was lower educated whites in the un-diverse rural areas of all the red won states that felt ignored and pretty much were by the democrats; Wisconsin was a prime example where the Dems assumed the blue curtain would hold and never visited during the whole of the campaign. I can say I'm definitely not looking forward to the next 4 years and more from the global consequences rather than domestic ones.

Should have brought in S Koreans to do it - aren't they the best at math's and statistics these days ? Whistle

As for job creation, at least this keeps Alec Baldwin in work for 4 years on SNL.

For the poorest and minorities. This has enormous consequences...

On a psychological note:
Does "trump" mean the same in the US as in UK?
I can picture a fat bully-boy at school being laughed at and mercilessly ridiculed, who has never forgiven the poorer classes and "vowed to get his own back on society one day". (A bit like Johnny Cash's "Boy Named Sue".

I'm too upset by this to even joke about it. Trump stands for everything I'm against: bigotry, racism, elitism, misogyny, antiquated views on the environment, attitude to women... I had hoped to visit my friends again this year who live in Palm Springs, Ca, We were also interested in a Florida winter holiday. That won't happen now. My wife and I will not be traveling to the US with this monster in power. SCO, Stateside, Washington and others, you have my deepest sympathies. It's a sad, sad day.
