Given the dialogue here this election season, I thought it would be appropriate to extend my sincere congratulations to all of you who supported the Trump campaign. I thought his acceptance speech was terrific, and I hope he turns out to be a great President for the country.

Hopefully someone he trusts will hand him a primer on the US Constitution so he knows what is expected of him.
Cheers, RL!
He seemed almost awed during his acceptance speech. He just needs to surround himself with good intelligent people.

I wasn't for Trump because of his various escapades, but his acceptance speech has given me a glimmer of hope. As has been said above, if he surrounds himself with capable people and listens to their counsel before reaching decisions I may be able to sleep peacefully at night.
Congratulations President-elect Donald Trump.
May God watch over you and these United States. God bless America!

He has always alluded to the fact that he would become "more presidential" when he needed to be. His acceptance speech provided a little insight to that side of him. I hope he continues it and picks intelligent, critical thinkers to his cabinet positions and allows them the freedom to say what needs to be said and do what needs to be done.
Congratulations, POTUSE Trump!
I sincerely wish him the very best of success...for our sakes as a nation!

Hopefully, with the election of Mr. Trump we've gained at least a temporary respite from the liberal depredations accompanying the "decline of empire" phase we currently find our country in.
I'm cautiously optimistic about the "surround himself with good intelligent people" part. I've always felt that an easy way to gauge a person’s character is to look at the people he surrounds himself with. I only needed to look at the qualities of the two VP picks to confirm (lock in concrete) my initial impressions. Trump picked someone capable of leading the country if necessary; Clinton picked someone who would never overshadow her.
President (Elect) Trump faces a difficult challenge changing the tone of the public dialog and addressing the damage caused by the previous administration. I think (pray) he's up to it. Bottom Line - even if I hadn't started this electoral season in a "burn the house down" mood, I'd be feeling pretty good right now.

I Agree with Peregrino!
One of the positive things I think I see coming from this election is the death of identity politics. That is what has been dividing us and has been promoted by the political elites and the media/pundits for far too long. This is precisely why they misread or didn't see what was going on in this election cycle.
We are "One nation under God, indivisible..." time to get back to that POV.
I listen to Morning Joe on MSNBC when I am getting ready for work in the mornings. This morning the message was one of unity and sincere optimism for a Trump presidency. I think they may be getting it and that gives me hope.
Donald Trump has one of the most essential qualities for leadership, he genuinely likes people, he listens, and he has good instincts. (Don't confuse the showman with the person.)
Also, he reads people very well and recognizes talent, e.g. Kellyanne Conway. Most of all he is not a hard-baked ideolog and that above all else is what it will take to find real solutions to our problems and unite our country and its diverse cultures once again.

2 out of 3 ain't bad, eh, what?

If Romney had balls you'd have been 3/3.

We have a VP-elect that rides a HD Street Glide and has been known to lead a few charity rides for soldiers. It'll be a nice change from dear leader, who wears his mom jeans while riding his eco-friendly 21 speed beast. Just sayin'

I congratulate Mr. Trump on his win. Like a lot of others I wasn't a fan but I sure didn't want the other side.
There is a sense of hope that he will start the turnaround that this country needs to survive. I don't think he can fix it but I think he can start the process.
Its' time to get back to our country's values that Obama and Hillary knew nothing about. Men are men, women are women, and they aren't afraid to say so!
The brainwashed youth of today will have to be shown what a strong country looks like. That is the challenge for they are the future!

Don't be mean. Those jeans were a present from Michael. :D
Trump knows how to win. He knows how to negotiate. He likes to be popular, too-there's the crux.
I don't wanna see no wafflin'.
That said, the SCOTUS has a better chance.
Don't be mean. Those jeans were a present from Michael. :D
Does Michelle know about this Michael? :D

I've been wondering the same thing...and then I thought, "Maybe it's Michael Moore??? OMFG - what a horrible and disgusting image that I wish I could video tape and leak onto the net".

Thank you!
I sent Ted a few bucks but I sent President Elect Trump even more. And talked to a few folks about why they need to vote for Mr. Trump. I told them in a nutshell, a vote for Mr. Trump is a vote for freedom.
I might have also said that every Green Beret I know is voting for Mr. Trump........ ;)
Haven't visited you gents in here since election night...it was a late night, with good quality rum in one hand, a cigar in the other...and very fine, patriotic friends of mine smiling ear to ear at my sides.
Gents, the feeling of deep satisfaction I've had the last few days from the greatest upset in our Country's political history has been indescribable.
I hope....and know ;)...many of you have felt the same.
Having attended a Trump rally in the primary and last month...I felt in my heart the enthusiasm I witnessed was what would put Trump over the top onto victory...something not being recorded in the polls and, certainly, being ignored in the MSM.
Going into election night, I remained assured that Trump had a solid, fighting chance, and I'm just so thankful I kept the faith.
God bless all of us...and all Americans...that took a stand on November 8th, saying, 'NO! We will not let our Country go quietly into the night!'
God bless America.

Last week we had a minor disaster at the house that has required the intervention of insurance adjusters and various trades people from three or four different companies. Today was the first post election day some of them were in the house. Four individuals working in pairs were here throughout the day. Their ages ranged from 20s to 30s. All were ethnic minorities and each, cautiously, asked what I thought of the election. Of course as a good SF guy seeking to gain rather than give information, I reversed the question and asked how they voted. Three, all Hispanic (no military service), said they voted for Trump; one, an African American (13 year Army veteran, 11B and commo, 3 tours Iraq, 1 Afghanistan), said he "preferred" Clinton.
The three Trump voters each cited the email scandal, while one also said he feared Clinton would come after his guns. The one who "preferred" Clinton said her experience was important to him. He did not come across as a die hard Clintonista.
All four condemned the current protests, and they each stated that the results of an election need to be respected.
I think there might be some hope for us after all.

Trump's problems in his first year as President will come from the Senate not the House.
ML Turtle will be the boulder on the path to anything getting done.
Come on, boys; quit wringin' your hands. Read everything TR's got out on gittin' ready, do it, and chill. it's done. Probably the best case scenario, as well.
(I ain't preachin' to no QP's here; just the worry warts.
Will return with further pearls of wisdom after gun season-starts tomorrow.
Wait with bated breath-could be a good pic comin'.:lifter
President Elect Trump, on what must have been a very hectic day filled with briefings...
Trump calls slain cop’s widow to offer condolences
By Larry Celona and Chris PerezNovember 10, 2016 | 8:26pm
NY Post
President-elect Donald Trump called slain NYPD Sgt. Paul Tuozzolo’s widow Thursday morning and personally extended his “condolences” to her on the day that thousands of police officers paid tribute to the fallen Finest at his funeral.
“I’m very sorry I cannot be there with you today. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time,” Trump told the grieving woman, according to a source.
“I want to express my condolences from me and my family.”
