The Media!
There’s plenty of blame to go around for the words “President-elect Donald Trump” and the catastrophic reality behind them, but the media is high on that list thanks to its failures on Trump combined with its obsessive hyping of Hillary Clinton’s email server. When one candidate is overwhelmingly truthful and the other candidate habitually lies, but people—not just confirmed partisans but media consumers in general—come away believing the liar is more truthful and the truthful candidate is more untrustworthy, there’s a serious problem in reporting. Just a quick glance at the word clouds above shows the problem. According to the media though, one of the major victims of a Trump presidency will be … the media. (LINK)
Several points about this:
- Studies proved that in 588 broadcast evening newscasts (between the conventions and election) there were 623 negative statements made about Donald Trump, while there were 145 negative statements made about Clinton over the same time period. Trump endured 440 minutes of negative coverage vs 185 minutes of negative coverage on Clinton. In fact over 90% of the Trump coverage was negative. (LINK)
- Only one of the two candidates was actually "under two FBI investigations" for criminal wrongdoing, had a checkered past that included previous legal investigations, and was engulfed in a wikileaks scandal that proved collusion between her candidacy, the DNC, the Justice Department, and the MSM... and that was not the candidate who garnered most of the negative attention.
- Lastly, while the Trump team certainly ran a full throttle nasty campaign against the former Secretary, they also had some very key, simple to remember, forward thinking, messages regarding what Trump with do if he became President. The fact that there was coverage about immigration, building a wall, free trade agreements, and potential relationships with people like Vladimir Putin, was based largely on the fact that Trump talked about such things. As it pertained to policy, there was no "there" there with Clinton. It was all tired, retreated, liberal rhetoric that we have heard a thousand times. Literally nothing of substance to report on.
Truth is that I am glad that our current crop of liberals are fooling themselves into believing that this was not about policy, direction, or much of anything political at all. The more they chalk this defeat up to the media, voter suppression, the electoral college, the KKK and everything else in between... the more likely it is that they will have a poor midterm and secure a second term for Donald Trump.

It's far ahead but I'm not even sure that Donald Trump would want a second term. After all, he's 70 now.
But it does look grim for Democrats and liberals for the midterm.
Democrats will be defending 10 senate seats in states won by Trump.
If Trump has an even moderately successful beginning to his term then it might be another disaster for the Democrats.
And 2020 will be another realignment election.

This was close enough that a number of individual factors could have tipped the scales. Fundamentally, though, it was the candidate and her campaign that doomed her.
A few thoughts as all of this sinks in:
Some will tell you the Republicans are unprepared for repeal and replace. Wrong. There is a plan. Don't let anyone tell you there is not. The plan was written by Paul Ryan as part of his "Better Way" document released in June of this year. It is not in legislative form, but it is as detailed as the plan Bill Clinton or Barack Obama had the morning after they were elected. I fully expect Speaker Ryan to take the point on putting the legislative details on the table, which will generally follow this outline.
As I pointed out in my blog post earlier this morning, Obamacare will effectively be repealed. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. The Trump voters voted for him expecting that he and the Republicans would do it and there is no turning back. This will be the first if not one of the first agenda items. Speaker Ryan, at his press conference this morning, reaffirmed that.
The repeal part will be the easiest part––not a literal repeal but a defunding of the money used for the exchange subsidies, the Medicaid expansion, and that run the exchanges.
The much harder part will be the replacement. Republicans will say to Democrats, "Help us create the new insurance system or be responsible for the consequences." Some are saying the Democrats won't cooperate. Here is why they will. In 2018, there are 23 Democratic and two Independent Senators (who caucus with the Dems) that will be up for reelection––a great many in states that Donald Trump won last night! There is a clear mandate here to replace Obamacare. If these Democrats fight it and that arguably results in millions of people thrown off their coverage they will do so at their peril.
The best news here is that defunding and then replacement of Obamacare could ironically set the table for the first real bipartisan legislative effort in a very long time. The one we should have had in the first place.

This is precisely the sort of smug, arrogant attitude from the left and from the media that got Trump elected.
You mean "Goofy Lizzy Warren" ?
Yeah, it would be scary (for you) if that's the best you have in 2020.
I see quite a bit of grumbling about the votes of "uneducated White men", usually with some implication of ignorance, bigotry, unreasoning anger or worse.
Frankly I'm getting tired if it, because it's pejorative and used as a bigoted racial stereotype. For anyone else it would be "blue collar", "working class", "non-degreed" or even "unprivileged", "economically disadvantaged", but no, not for these people. They are "uneducated", falling for hatred and upset about losing their "privilege".
They need to knock it off because the economic and political backlash can get a lot worse than what they're whining about now.
The Loser Crooked Hillary , in her best asshole voice asked how does one loss 1 Billion dollars, well , she just did, she raised and spent 1 Billion dollars, lost it all.
I believe this is good enough to be re-posted.

The Trump Dump Starts. Daily Mail GB
However, there are also worries about his plans after saying he would tear up several trade deals while ramping up import duties.
"It's been a Trumper-thumper of a couple of days in markets," CMC Markets analyst Jasper Lawler wrote in a note to clients.
"The Trump dump was quickly followed by the Trump jump and now it seems we're headed into the Trump slump."
Expectations that Trump's plans for huge spending projects will fan prices have lit a fire under the dollar as dealers bet the Federal Reserve will hike borrowing costs more aggressively to cap inflation.
That in turn has led to fears of large capital outflows as investors go back to the US for better, safer returns.
The greenback almost hit 107 yen on Thursday for the first time since July and it maintained most of the gains heading into the weekend.
The dollar meanwhile hit a new all-time high at just under 21.39 pesos.
The unit -- as well as the Mexican stock market -- has been hammered by fears Trump will follow through on campaign pledges to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement, as well as pressure the country to pay billions of dollars for a giant border wall.
"The new Donald Trump vision for America is drawing the attention of international capital," said Lawler.
"This renewed belief in a better environment for corporate America is at the expense of Europe and especially emerging markets.
"Malaysia and Indonesia have been caught in the eye of the emerging market storm. The central banks of both nations were forced to defend sliding currencies. Hot money has steamed across the Pacific into US assets," he added.

Harry Reid breaks silence: Trump's election has 'emboldened the forces of hate and bigotry'
Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid ripped into President-elect Donald Trump on Friday, calling the New York businessman a "sexual predator who lost the popular vote and fueled his campaign with bigotry and hate.
"The election of Donald Trump has emboldened the forces of hate and bigotry in American," Reid said in a statement.
In his first comments on the election of Trump, who shocked much of the US and world with his election night victory, the outgoing Nevada senator said "watching white nationalists celebrate while innocent Americans cry tears of fear does not feel like America.
"I have heard more stories in the past 48 hours of Americans living in fear of their own government and their fellow Americans than I can remember hearing in five decades in politics," he said.
Reid, the Senate minority leader, specifically pointed to the fear some minorities have expressed at the election of Trump.
"I've felt their tears and I've felt their fear," he said.
The five-term senator said that he felt "their fear is entirely rational" and implored the news media to not produce "fluff pieces."
"Every news piece that breathlessly obsesses over inauguration preparations compounds their fear by normalizing a man who has threatened to tear families apart, who has bragged about sexually assaulting women and who has directed crowds of thousands to intimidate reporters and assault African Americans," Reid said.
He added: "Their fear is legitimate and we must refuse to let it fall through the cracks between the fluff pieces."
Reid said that the "responsibility of healing" falls "at the feet of Donald Trump," who he noted "lost the popular vote.
"Winning the electoral college does not absolve Trump of the grave sins he committed against millions of Americans," Reid said. "Donald Trump may not possess the capacity to assuage those fears, but he owes it to this nation to try.
"If Trump wants to roll back tide of hate he unleashed, he has a tremendous amount of work to do and he must begin immediately," Reid concluded.
A professor who called Trump's presidency now says it won't last long
Few experts predicted Donald Trump would be the 45th president of the United States. One professor who did says Trump's administration won't last long.
As early as September, American University professor Allan Lichtman told The Washington Post that Trump would triumph. Now he's saying Congress will likely impeach President Trump and remove him from office before the end of his first term.
"They don't want Trump as president, because they can't control him. He's unpredictable. They'd love to have Pence — an absolutely down-the-line, conservative, controllable Republican. I'm quite certain Trump will give someone grounds for impeachment," Lichtman told the Washington Post.
Lots of Republicans said they were uncomfortable with Trump as their nominee for president. Having Mike Pence in the White House would put a more trusted establishment Republican in the job.

THE MAP THAT SHOULD HAVE THE GOP FEELING NERVOUS
http://www.electoral-vote.com/evp2016/Pres/Maps/Nov12.html#item-6
Trump Open to Keeping Parts of the Affordable Care Act
In a surprise move, yesterday Donald Trump said that he planned to keep parts of the Affordable Care Act, despite his spending months saying he planned to repeal the entire act and get rid of it, root and branch. The parts that he likes are the rules allowing adult children up to age 26 to stay on their parents' insurance policies and the prohibition against insurance companies discriminating against people with preexisting conditions. This sudden change of plans is not going to be popular with his many supporters who hate the entire law.
Trump probably doesn't realize the implications of what he just said. Any attempt to repeal the entire law would require an act of Congress. The Democrats would certainly filibuster any such attempt. At that point, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) would be in a bind. He could eliminate the filibuster for everything, including legislation, but he is well aware that the Republicans might be in the minority some day, and once the filibuster is dead and buried, it is not coming back from the grave.
If McConnell decides not to eliminate the filibuster for legislation, the best he could do is use the budget reconciliation process (which requires only 51 votes) to try to cripple the law. However, budget reconciliation can be done only for things that affect the budget. The Supreme Court ruled that the penalty for not being insured is a tax, and changing tax policy can be done using reconciliation. However, if Congress eliminated the hated tax but kept the rest of the law intact, then young, healthy people might not buy insurance. This would result in the insurance pool being largely old, sick people, forcing insurance companies to raise premiums. This would cause more people to drop insurance, and the entire healthcare system would collapse. McConnell doesn't want that, either.
So maybe McConnell will abolish the filibuster entirely and simply repeal the entire law, including the parts Trump likes. Not so fast. The insurance industry loves the ACA. After all, it brought in 22 million new customers. It doesn't care that the government is paying for them. Suddenly losing 22 million customers is something the industry has not prepared for. Furthermore, many of these people would then start using hospital emergency rooms for primary care. From the point of view of the hospitals, losing 22 million paying customers and in return getting 22 million people who want free care doesn't sound like any fun at all. If repeal came to a vote, healthcare and insurance lobbyists might just descend on Congress like a swarm of locusts to inform them of the size of their warchest for defeating members of Congress who vote for repeal. Also not helping things is that Obamacare sign-ups are surging as we speak, with the day after the election ending up as the busiest day of the year, thanks to 100,000 new enrollees. No matter what McConnell does, he has a big headache. (Andrew S. Tannenbaum, a Jew the Troothers hate)

1: Yesterday he said that he will keep coverage for existing conditions.
Yesterday he said that parents could provide insurance for up to the age of 26.
2: He said that he is contemplating modifications to the Obama Care law.
Those are two biggest issue that are Obama Care. Modification are not repeal.

HB got that packing done yet for you and your wife exit , like you said you were going to do?
I see those liberals that promised they would leave the US UPON a TRUMP WIN, are staying put, in the USA, but why break that promise?
Now, I haven't looked this morning, but I just bet Trump is already trying to backtrack from his promise, given in his first interview, that he will leave in place portions of Obamacare.
Another word for backtrack is "lie."
First he said he will (repeal),
then he won't.
Then he says he does (repeal)
then he don't.
He's lying again now,
so what is he going to do?
HB, got those tickets and packed yet to leave the USA?
Repeal of Obamacare will happen.
Then it will be replaced with some of the common sense items that are core to coverage of those that need it.
IF, you read HB, Repeal means that the replacement of it can not contain a single good idea within the current Obamacare Law.
HB go back to drinking, it is something you did very well.
so what is he going to do?"
President Trump will Repeal the current law, with Votes from many Democrats looking to become part of the solution.
President Trump will Replace with Help from Democrats/Republicans a new TrumpCare Law of the Land.
Any more stupid questions?

well pastor pederast, those you choose to inform your plagiarized opinions are insufferable and intellectually dishonest hacks like you and roger.
here's some refreshing intelligent commentary on trump's proposals for 0linsky-care:
Obamacare’s pre-existing conditions provision is another story. It makes it much, much harder to get rid of the individual mandate, which is one of the law’s least popular provisions. If insurers have to cover people who are sick on the same terms as people who are healthy, then people can forego buying health insurance while they’re healthy secure in the knowledge they can buy it when they get sick. Insurance markets can’t work that way: With only sick people paying premiums, those premiums will have to rise, and healthy people will have even less incentive to get covered. That’s basically why the individual mandate is in Obamacare even though President Obama campaigned against it in the 2008 Democratic primaries.
But you don’t have to get rid of protections for people with pre-existing conditions altogether to scrap Obamacare. You do have to modify them. Over the last few years, congressional Republicans have increasingly advocated replacing Obamacare’s regulation with a less restrictive one. Under the new regulation, insurers would have to cover people with pre-existing conditions on the same terms as everyone else so long as they had maintained insurance coverage beforehand. That way there would be no incentive to game the system. In fact there would be an incentive to get covered, with no need for an individual mandate.
Many Republicans plans would give tax credits for people who don’t have employer-provided coverage, so that they could buy policies that at least cover catastrophic medical expenses. Healthy people would thus have both the incentive and the means to get coverage, and that coverage would remain if they got sick.
If Trump delivers such legislation, he could perfectly fairly say that the new law protects people with pre-existing conditions. In short: Obamacare opponents should not get too alarmed by Trump’s remarks, so long as Republicans on the Hill and in the coming administration are clear about how to put that protection into operation—and how not to.

He said that he hasn't given much thought to a special prosecutor.
James and I showed Trump lied " HalfJane
Nope, but that is ok, we expect nothing from you two and you two always deliver less.
Hillary lost, Trump is the President Elect, Both the US Senate and US House is controlled by Republicans.
Keep Crying and make sure to get your new Liberal Icon , the Baby diaper safety pin and wear it proudly.
This has been fun, but , I have to do work around the ranch, so HalfJane, keep hugging each other in a queer way.
President Trump will be able to add 1 Trillion a year to the national Debt and the Liberals can not say a word.
Nor can they talk about "How with it be paid for" after 8 years of drunken obimbo spending, where that questions was never asked, can't start now, that would be hypocritical .

"He said that he hasn't given much thought to a special prosecutor."
hold on. are you trying to tell me that he's not a vindictive prick who politicizes everything like your boy 0linsky?
you don't say?
btw rog, the FBI investigation into the clinton crime family foundation continues.
and it appears that trump has chosen to govern instead of fuck around with going after granny the liar. he crushed her, humiliated her, and drove her into a sobbing fit that lasted for HOURS.
perhaps he's just being gracious and kind...
for now.
i'm sure he is reserving the right to prosecute her if and when he feels like it. that's what i'd do. let the threat of prosecution hang over her head like a sword of damocles.

RRB, The baby safety pin wearing liberal is having a very hard time with TRUMP, applying common sense to problem solving.

indeed.
you know, i am having a hard time remembering those republican riots in '08 and '12 when 0linsky won.
even google can't seem to find anything about them.
weird.
There is a all or nothing mime liberals are pushing that if you don't completely go back to the status quo anti-Obamacare, you are "not repealing Obamacare".
That of course is nonsense. As I said in my piece, they with probably keep the precondition coverage using high-risk pools similar to auto insurance. The extension of coverage to adult children will not be prohibited but also will not be required.
In fact, there will not be a lot of required coverage at all. Private insurance companies will have a lot more latitude to design coverage plans tailored to the individual's lifestyle and financial condition.
And allowing coverage plan to cross state lines will mean far larger pools of insurees to spread the risk.
In other words, the government mandate on coverage will be removed in favor of free market forces.
That is pretty much a repeal of Obamacare.
I think Trump will eventually appoint a special prosecutor (after all, the FBI still has compelling evidence that Clinton and her staff have committed felonies) but it is not a priority for him.
I should have said. Absent of a pardon from Obama.

Democrats now control only 13 state legislatures (26%). If they lose 1 more they fall below the % needed to stop constitutional amendments.

PAUL KRUGMAN: Elections Aren’t Necessarily About the Truth
KRUGMAN: “First of all, remember that elections determine who gets the power, not who offers the truth. The Trump campaign was unprecedented in its dishonesty; the fact that the lies didn’t exact a political price, that they even resonated with a large bloc of voters, doesn’t make them any less false. No, our inner cities aren’t war zones with record crime. No, we aren’t the highest-taxed nation in the world. No, climate change isn’t a hoax promoted by the Chinese.”
“So if you’re tempted to concede that the alt-right’s vision of the world might have some truth to it, don’t. Lies are lies, no matter how much power backs them up.”
CH, you ignore the fact that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote.
Donald Trump is repudiating every single policies he campaigned on.
I told you that he's a con artist.
Everything he got your love, is in the trash.
CH, you ignore the fact that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote.
All Hillary Clinton won was Washington DC, New York, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle.
I sure you would be ecstatic if only the big city votes were counted. But is doesn't work that way in America
you ignore the fact that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote.
She didn't come close to the 320-350 ECV you predicted
He said that he hasn't given much thought to a special prosecutor.
As I wrote a few days ago, that's more of an undertaking than just hiring some guy and turning him loose. What Trump really wants is for the Clinton's to disappear from the spotlight so that he can get on with business.
His evolving position on health care is falling in line with what I outlined earlier as well. Maybe Trump has someone reading Coldheartedblog LOL.
Roger, the national popular vote is literally irrelevant in our Republic. Trump won the popular vote in enough states to win the election. The margins of those various popular votes are also irrelevant.
Plagiarized spam
Say hello to President elect Trump.
Say hello to President elect Trump, pedo
Popular vote means nothing.
Say hello to President elect Trump.
"Maybe Trump has someone reading Coldheartedblog LOL."
LOL, maybe!

If so, Trump someone, have someone get in touch ;) I have an idea involving a predictive model of the entire nation - every person. That would come in handy in designing policy, or even in future campaigns ...
CH, you ignore the fact that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote." HB the dumbest ass on the internet.
The correct Answer to the above Baby Diaper Safety Pin wearing liberals.

HB you might want to put some ice on that candy ass sissy bitch.
wp, I respectfully disagree.
I know how it works, and why they wrote it in the Constitution.
I know there's no chance of amending the Constitution.
Disagree how? Each State apportions its votes for the President as the state sees fit. Do you disagree with that?

Nobody won the popular vote, because
A) it takes a majority to win, and
B) there WAS no national popular vote. There were a series of State popular votes.
