    Well I for one am not afraid to admit I was wrong. I didn't think America would vote for Trump and it is clear I was wrong about that. So for all the Trump supporter here, you were right, to all the #NEVERTRUMP well done on voting your conscience.

    I still feel that even though my slim hope for third party is very much dashed, I'm glad I can say I didn't contribute to it.

    What kind of third party are you looking for?

    One that actually follows the Constitution and wants to shrink the government back down to original size.

    I'm libertarian, if that answers the question. And yes, I do feel they are closer to the Constitution.

    I've never been more wrong about an election in my life. We can throw out all the conventional wisdom about running a campaign and there ought to be a whole bunch of pollsters that lose their jobs.

    It looks like Republicans will control all three branches of government. I'm looking forward to repealing Obamacare, tearing up the Iran nuke deal and reversing Obama's executive orders for starters. Let's get a conservative on SCOTUS, cut government regulations, and get the economy going for real.

    Yes I would love to see Trump prove me wrong about how I think he will govern. Still will never vote for him but if he actually puts conservative judges on the bench and works with the GOP instead of the Dems than he won't be as bad as president as I expect.

    I appreciate when people can admit they were wrong. I just hope everyone who made the claim all along that Trump was a DNC plant who was trying to lose will be as big of people and own up to it.

    Your state has a Libertarian Party.
    But I have several problems with the LP - First they take no stand on abortion.
    They tend to want to be isolationists
    other issues as well.

    Yeah, I think the official party is pro-choice, though their wording is they want the government out of it entirely. I'm prolife who supports abortion in a small percentage of cases (such as life of the mother). My feeling is that as human beings the unborn have Constitutional rights, so they ought to be covered under that as well.
    I don't agree with every single policy, though I do agree with the general ideology. I do think we should stay out of matters involving other countries, at least far more than we have been.

    In fairness, haven't you been wrong enough? Why not give him the benefit of the doubt for a change.

    I voted for sound SCOTUS picks today, not Trump. But I do hope he will surround himself with smart people as Reagan did and make a really good president in all other areas.

    Wonder why Hillary didn't give that concession speech? I wonder if she didn't have one prepared. Hillary is cancer....Trump is the radical mega dose of chemo....both deadly.

    Those who voted for Trump best enjoy the moment. They will have years in which to repent.

    I think it's really interesting that both Democrats and Republicans are surprised at the election results. I wonder if that has anything to do with the way the press reports the "facts" and information on the candidates and the race.

    For the next four (eight?) years, are you gonna act like how you've accused the Obama detractors of acting for the last eight?

    Let's see what happens over the next 24 months....

    You, like all the media pundits and know it all elite politicians underestimated the depth of the anger and frustration of the American people that Trump had tapped into.

    It's been on display since he began to win primaries, but many just refused to see it and acknowledge it. The fact that a thoroughly corrupt Hillary Clinton was his opponent helped immeasurably.

    I do not mind admitting that I was a bit surprised by the result and that it appears that I was wrong about him being a DNC agent.

    Though I still have strong reservations about an aspiring authoritarian occupying the White House, for the good of the Nation, I hope that he is successful and is true to the Constitution.
