General Election 2024

Most people have a binary reaction to the election result. Happy that Trump won. Or unhappy that Trump won. I am both. Unhappy that Trump will be President. But happy that Kamala will not be. I stand by my assessment that this election was a repudiation of the Biden/Harris administration and the overall Democrat policies. Lord knows what a rout it would have been if not for ROEvember voters. Do I have confidence that a Trump administration can fix any of the mess from the Biden/Harris rule? Of course not. But it’s got to be better than 4 more years of Democrat Presidency.

Looks like Senate and House will also ride the anti-Democrat wave and turn red as well. I’m not happy about that. I think it is best for the country when one of the three powers keeps the other two in check.

I look at it, as it will be harder for the Republicans to shift blame.

4 more years of Trump buffoonery. Has he committed any crimes yet?

not yet
but the ones he was going to be prosecuted for will be dropped
and he most likely will never be sentenced for the one he was convicted of

one man - ABOVE THE LAW

welcome to the good ole USA_______________a place where a completely disgraceful person will sit at the very top

.

Trump still is the same character and did the same things wrong. Nothing different about his character today than yesterday. Can't help if more people valued something else.

I am just absolutely mind boggled that Trump won the popular vote. The electoral college does not surprise me, but how did so many people vote for the worst president in modern history. The last four years have been so good, and now it will be a descent into chaos. I don't understand what is going on with modern Americans, I feel like the country is losing it's mind.

He'll go down as the best President in history.

It was a no-brainer.

It'll be more obvious later when they load up Gitmo.

I heard an MSNBC regular who once had a tingling up his leg ranting about the immigration policy of the Biden administration being a huge failure.

My first thought is that perhaps he, and his cohorts, could have helped the administration by criticizing the administration more along the way and chiding them to do better.

I found MSNBC all-in on Trump being horrible all the time when I watched their shows. Perhaps they could have kept pushing that narrative while actually trying to prod the administration to fix bad policy. A few minutes pushing better policy might have turned out a whole lot better for the Democrats than just attacking Trump all the time.

The election was a referendum on the Biden/Harris administration.

The good thing for everyone is that the next election is in two years. The Democrats can change course and the President Elect has a propensity to screw up.

We shall see...

He has a long way to go to be considered that. He can do things better this time than last time...but I am only cautiously optimistic about that happening.

He is the reason Joe Biden was able to pass his signature legislation. His actions after the last election cost the Republicans two Senate seats in Georgia. Just one would have been enough to keep those things from passing.

That's not possible, his first term was so low (bottom 3 average,) even if his second term he is number 1 (won't happen,) the best he can get rated statistically is maybe 20-30 range.

If all he did was root out the corruption of the Mockingbird, he'd be the best President in our history, bar none.

He'd have two years to do it if a trifecta is in place.
