True. Seems like he changed many opinions when he won. Hopefully most of those opinion changes will be for the better in the long run.
He did and although entirely contradictory to previous comments he's made in the past, I think this makes sense. Regardless of your opinion of the EC, both sides knew how elections are fought and won and had a team behind them advising of strategy. Both campaigns would have been very different otherwise, so who knows the outcome in that instance.
But lets face it, the winner rationalizes their win and the loser criticizes their loss. We all know their would have been an ongoing tantrum had Hillary won the election but lost the popular vote.

The primitive sex drive part of my brain is okay with that.
Well right now hope is the only thing left so...

What a fucking nightmare. I've always had a pit in my stomach from the time I was a kid in the 80s for the white nationalist machismo culture on display back then during Reagan's reign. I've always intrinsically distrusted rural, religious types and even moderately conservative "Costco" families. The sentiment of American Exceptionalism always made me cringe. It all always rubbed me the wrong way. And now I see the fruition of that unsettling feeling.

S. E. Cupp does it for me.
I'm base like that.
Shes very attractive but the second I found out she had some fake atheist shtick going, man that was disappointing and ruined any attraction i had towards her.
It's looking more and more likely that Christie is going to get muscled out of any position if Pence has any say in the matter.This is actually quite funny seeing how much work Christie put in for trump just to be pushed aside and get nothing. We need to take that window pic of the wii u and replace it with Christie.

Never understood why everyone made such a big deal out of this. It was obviously just an awkward hand wave.

It was, but it was also fitting.
That is actually a really scary though.

I mean his point is correct. You have electoral and political reform to fix a broken system; not to overturn an individual result.
Been saying for a long time Americans need to debate political reform more.

More like a "Hail Hydr..... oh shit im on TV.. look natural look natural, thats it just a wave.. just a wave you miserable peasants, 2016 will destroy your miserable lives"
though not at the bigger venues with Trump family, she campaigned for him quite a bit in MI in the final days before the election. Rather than Education (just my sad sad depressing joke) I expect her on something worse...like Sec. of Interior. Drill Baby Drill (and fuck over all our National Parks)
I'm interested in learning more about this "code of ethics" that they don't have yet.

Mess.
Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and maybe Tallahassee are relatively blue areas because of the cities.
The rest of my state is full of sister-fucking gator-hunting hillbilly meth heads and retirement communities who call the police when a black person stops to tie their shoe in a 500m radius.

And people wonder why the right feels unrepresented by the left.... I wouldnt want to vote for any candidate that refer to rural people that way either.
What's Megatron up to?

Does it matter? Do those peoples votes count less than yours? Last I checked they count the same, so if you are going to just call them deplorables, why would they even consider voting for you? The problem isnt going to go away by outright ignoring them, they'll just grow to hate you more and more. Any chance of ever having a meaningful dialogue with these people goes out the window as soon as you put your self on a high horse above them and declare them miserable pieces of shit.

To be fair, it's possible that someone just explained how the EC works to him in terms a 5 yo could understand.
This isn't rural Wisconsin or even Iowa we're talking about.
They actually count more than mine when it comes to the Presidential election. And I'm lucky enough to live in a swing state (Though its swing status might be gone in the future).
Last I checked, I'm not running for office.
Admittedly my blood's been running a bit hotter than usual lately and I was stigmatizing with my statement, so I do apologize for that. Florida, however, has an enormous problem with racial disparity and having a massive elderly population does nothing to help bridge that gulf. We're dealing with a tea party governor who has driven our state medicaid system into the fucking dirt by refusing government subsidy for our in-state CAID system because it was tied into the ACA. The people who are affected by this (those low-income rural folks I mentioned) don't consider that the Republican governor's fault, though. They just know that ACA moved in and their CAID benefits imploded.

I find it terrifying that a lot of Americans say 'let's give him a chance'.
This man will ruin America, and take the world down with him. Now is absolutely not the time to normalise him and his ilk.

Every other billboard on 75 once you leave the Tampa Bay area (Sumter County and beyond) has some kind of anti-abortion messaging. Then there is the one that says "We the People... In 2012 STOP OBAMA" that is still standing 4 fucking years later. Not to mention all the Confederate flags either flying by the interstate or on the backs of cars.
Hell, I've spent time in Ocala on several occasions. They're nice people, but they don't want anything to do with your "Librul Agenda". You're not going to get them to change their minds unless it comes straight to them from Fox News.
The fact that the same people are appearing on lists for multiple positions leads me to believe they do not know what the fuck they are doing.... I wasn't as politically aware during Obama's election, but surely it wasn't as chaotic and random as this? Surely he knew what person would do which job best as opposed to Trump who just has his inner circle guys on a list and giving them positions seemingly at random.
