I believe "Berniebros" were originally those who said they would never vote for Clinton. Lately, it's been used much more broadly, often by Clintonites trying to shame all Sanders supporters. You might want to think twice before describing yourself as one...

Although I didn't vote for him, I recall being hopeful for Obama uniting the country, stopping the seas from rising etc. Broken promises. Sad to see the far-left unable to accept the results of a Republican presidency, Senate and House and even more Governors. He not only defeated Mrs. Clinton but her enablers in the corrupt media. The protesters may not know it but this was a win for all Americans. God Bless America, President-elect Trump, Senate and House!

Other than the very first part, didn't you just describe pretty much every single politician out there? As far as relevant political experience you'd look for in a politician goes, Trump has plenty - he has a pulse, he sat in a chair for many years, and he got paid a lot for it.

President Obama was a newer junior Senator with a very limited voting record (present doesnt count) on which people could base their opinion on.
He was against Gay Marriage at the time, that we know. I only say that because I would think many people would've been turned off by that.

I will never understand why people feel the need to put Obama's middle name so front and center. Like who the heck cares if he has a funky middle name? Xenophobes? His whole name is kinda funny by a lot of peoples standards. People didn't seem to see the need to put it there outside of W. for Bush. I have no idea what John McCain or Romney's middle name is, Mitch McConnel, Paul Ryan, Nancy Pelosi, New Gingrich, Ken Starr, ect and nobody said Bill Jefferson Clinton outside of official swearing in or legal proceedings. Iunno just seems to sort of imply something which I am not quite sure what it is.

Not that I would give him a second thought after his despicable treatment of President-elect Trump, but I believe Romney's real name has often been mentioned as Willard Mitt Romney. We also have the oft-mentioned middle name of John Forbes Kerry whose ancestors changed the name from the Jewish "Kohn" replacing it with the name of one of Ireland's most popular counties. We've also had Dwight David Eisenhower. John Fitzgerald Kennedy. John Quincy Adams. That's just from memory. Barack Hussein Obama is his name. What's the problem?

By anon
Thu, 11/10/2016 - 3:27pm
Wages have been flat. Home ownership is at historic lows. Millions of people have given up hope of being back in the workforce. And there's an untold number of those who have given up the notion of ever owning a home or would dare to get a mortgage to buy one. For 8 years, people who have raised legitimate questions about administration policies have been flagged as racist by those on the left.
Yet, since the ACA, I have been through 4 different health plans in 5 years because the employers cannot or will not support the escalating costs. My out of pockets are higher - my deductibles make me wonder why I even have health insurance. Did I get to keep my doctor? Yes, but I don't like my doctor - so it's not a win for me.
Meanwhile, have you taken a look at what it costs to feed your family lately? (And I am talking about the food that doesn't make people sick). When the Fed says there's no inflation - they are right - so long as you're not talking about food and fuel. The lack of inflation is not evidence of a strong economy thanks to the policies of an wise administration. It's evidence of the power of denial.
My point is this: your comment, while I defend to my death your right to make it, suggests that we have no been living in the same country. "People are going to suffer." you say. People HAVE been suffering. They are fed up. For me, I don't think I really appreciated my own descent into hopelessness until a glimmer of hope appeared. And it wasn't Trump. It was that the country voted the way it wanted - not the way the media hoped it would. Never did I expect to feel as I did yesterday morning: more hopeful for the future of this country and its people than I have had in 8 long years.
And PS: Some may give Obama credit for being the "gay president" - but let's be fair, the Mass SJC and the US Supreme Court get the kudos for that. As a gay man, I'm happier because of their actions - not this administration's. And at the risk of dredging up the past: President Clinton threw the gays under the bus barely a month into office. It's beyond disingenuous to suggest that Mrs. Clinton mindset would be any different. Don't Ask - Don't Tell - Don't Forget.

Watching democracy in action is so inspiring. Protesting is something the older generation has become apathetic to. They only enjoy sitting at a counter at DD's complaining to their friends about the state of the world and whether the Pats won or not. More power to these people whether you or agree with them or not.

You mean like voting?
Saying that the duly appointed President-elect is not their President and protesting as they are looks like the beginnings of mob rule to me. If Clinton had cared about Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Florida rather than working on unwinnable states and the results flipped, would you be calling the same march by Trump supporters democracy in action?
For the record, I voted for the same guy Suldog voted for. If we did STV voting, Clinton would have gotten my third preference.

That way of looking at it is narcissistic. The goal of the election was to spend as little money as possible to win 270 or more many electoral votes. Trump spent half of what Clinton spent and won... and am pretty sure he did it without superpacs. Sweet. My man. After spending double what Trump spent and virtually pledging her soul to the superpac donors, you think someone would have told Clinton that the goal was not to get the majority to vote for her. Maybe she has some leftover campaign money to start a PSA on how elections work in this country, you know, do some good for once in her life.

Hillary and her supporters with their electoral blame game got her essentially nowhere this election. It is getting her nowhere now. Her strategy to include winning the popular vote failed miserably as an end game thing. Be like Trump and shun the electoral blame game, shun the popularity contest and instead strive to win the electoral game at half the price. That is what makes one a winner. Now if one wants to wallow in victimhood.. well, carry on Hilliary and Hillary supporters. I look forward to seeing who tries hardest to play victim in these coming days. I am guessing it will be the hipster millennials. They are already lamenting some sort of plight of being black or latino. That sort of mindset is like a victim Yahtzee.
