The concession and congratulation speeches are so phoney.

I disagree. I listened to both Trump and Clinton ( believe you meant acceptance rather than congratulations) and thought that they were both heartfelt and meaningful for the audience they were intended for.

Please don't tell me what I meant...I meant exactly what I said.

Our poll on here was more accurate than most of the others. Maybe they should hire us next time.

Everything about the clintons was (and still is) phony and corrupt.
May they go into a hole and disappear forever.
I fear that may be wishful thinking, however...

Thousands laid off permanently in the Polling field due to no longer needed at these performance levels.

Retraining as Meteorologist has been offered.

Just thought I'd try to end this with a little humor.

Looks like Trump may actually have had a "coat tails" effect here in New Hampshire. How to quantify that? Well ...... the tall.....5'10" ..... very attractive....and very athletic.... very well spoken.....very knowlegeable....Senator Kelly Ayotte just barely, by a tiny number got beat by Gov Maggie Hassan....while Chris Sununu beat Colin Van Ostern by a couple percentage points

Kelly Ayotte's presence will definitely be missed in the US Senate.....especially by all the fellow Republican male senators........ she was very well liked......so, goooood-bye Kelly........ and boo-hoo! Did I vote for Kelly......no? I voted for Maggie Hassan.....but it's a big stunner that Kelly is out.....which did not happen until all the votes were counted the day after.

Sen Ayotte had announced she would be writing in Mike Pence, while Chris Sununu stuck with the Donald......and that is somewhat telling for the Trump coat tails effect here in NH.

Congrats on at least, getting your senate candidate in...Kelly Ayotte showed her true colors when she scrambled to distance herself (to save her own seat) from Trump after the "locker room" tape. Bad move on her part...

I liked Kelly, but I didn't like her politics, she was caught up in this middle of the road, get along horse manure and I think it cost her the election. At least you know what you are getting with Hassan, hopefully she will only last one term.

My son's High School is offering counseling yesterday and today for students and teachers who are upset about the election results. I can barely type this without laughing.... Would there have been counseling if Hill had won?? I think not.

Or how about the aggressive demonstrations (politically correct for rioting) going on in many cities. Remember all those conservatives rioting when Obama took office...me neither.

Can you imagine if Republicans had hung Hillary like this? The media frenzy would be so loud and it would have created rioting for sure. I'll bet most of these people protesting didn't even vote. Which party is the intolerant one? Its very clear.

Major · 11-10-2016, 11:44 AM

I am not surprised by the riots and public displays of disrespect. I've read many, many articles saying how liberals are "terrified" and "disgusted" by the election results. Safe spaces and counseling provided for students at college! Are you kidding me? Well, as a conservative, don't think for a second that I wasn't equally "disgusted" and "terrified" by Obama's election. I was worried about respect for the Constitution, the status of our standing in the world, foreign policy, maintaining our military, socialized medicine, to name a few. (Most of my worries came to fruition.) However, I'm an adult, and I need to work for a living. I don't have the luxury of protesting when I don't get my own way. Also, I respect our Constitution and the electoral process, even when it doesn't go my way. We are teaching our children to be petulant when they don't get their own way. This needs to change.

Donzi Minx · 11-10-2016, 12:15 PM

Sorry Don.
I had no idea this would turn mushroom cloud explosive.

Choppy at the Lake today?!!!

TCC · 11-10-2016, 02:28 PM

Which party's supporters are massively intolerant? Grossly immature? Prone to violence and destruction? It doesn't require a doctorate to figure that out.

The fringe elements of both.

rsmlp · 11-10-2016, 04:36 PM

Are always tolerant when you agree with them but when you don't? Not so much. Is that "progressive"?

Puck · 11-10-2016, 04:46 PM

No it's hypocrisy. But hypocrites exist on both sides. They just have different labels.

Rusty · 11-10-2016, 05:35 PM

Trump's first executive order will be that everyone in his cabinet dye their hair orange.

The DNC stole Bernie's drubbing of Hillary in the primary then poured millions into NH to oust Kelly and we gave them exactly what they wanted. It's a disgrace that we threw out an honest, Independent, fiscal conservative. NH is all done as an independent state.
