US Politics

[T-72]

Obama address now

 

[cloud4000]

Trump has won the election and Republic still stands. It's not just about the candidates, but the system. What will be interesting to see is what policies a Trump Administration will produce to address the problems he talked about in his campaign. Slogans are one thing, policy is another. Let's see what happens.

 

[ChineseTiger1986]

I think Trump's policy on Syria, if he really follows through with his words, will be a major departure from the Clinton/Obama (and the Republican policy) of past several years.
But, yes, on China, the game will continue.

Check what Ron Paul said on the Infowars, the economy and foreign policy aren't going to change that much.

The US is going to keep printing more money, so more tension on Europe and Middle East.

To celebrate our great victory this evening, a great song to remind us of the great tasks that lay ahead and to motivate us to carry on the torch of hope, just as many a patriots have done in the generations long gone:

Well at least Trump was gracious in victory, and a big turn from before.. though that is easy to do when you get what you want. Hopefully I've misjudged him and he is actually a wise leader who can simply play the fool very well, Hillary conceded with minimum fuss, and the transition of power will proceed largely smoothly, as it has done throughout almost all of our history.

As the song you posted is saying, the Republic will march on, and now that the elections are over it is time to give Trump a real chance, look with new eyes, and see what he does and its effects. All Americans want what's best for our country, and I'm pragmatic enough to give him a chance to win me over now that the vote is decided.

With the sweep in the elections, He will hardly get a better chance. He has his mandate, lets see if he puts it to better use than Obama did, along with the Republican congress.

A victory to those who voted a 3rd Party, we now have proved to the World yet again the Idiotic Power of the Sheep, and the harm they caused to themselves.

Well said! The fact of the matter is that 4-8 years from now, a new administration will take over from Trumps. It's America's institutions that will survive and prosper.

Democracy in Action

Thank you. Thank you all very much. Thank you so much. A very rowdy group. Thank you, my friends. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you so very much for being here. I love you all, too. Last night I congratulated Donald Trump and offered to work with him on behalf of our country.

I hope that he will be a successful president for all Americans. This is not the outcome we wanted or we worked so hard for, and I'm sorry we did not win this election for the values we share and the vision we hold for our country.

But I feel pride and gratitude for this wonderful campaign that we built together. This vast, diverse, creative, unruly, energized campaign. You represent the best of America, and being your candidate has been one of the greatest honors of my life.

I know how disappointed you feel, because I feel it too. And so do tens of millions of Americans who invested their hopes and dreams in this effort. This is painful, and it will be for a long time. But I want you to remember this.

Our campaign was never about one person, or even one election. It was about the country we love and building an America that is hopeful, inclusive, and big-hearted. We have seen that our nation is more deeply divided than we thought. But I still believe in America, and I always will. And if you do, then we must accept this result and then look to the future. Donald Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead. Our constitutional democracy enshrines the peaceful transfer of power.

We don't just respect that. We cherish it. It also enshrines the rule of law; the principle we are all equal in rights and dignity; freedom of worship and expression. We respect and cherish these values, too, and we must defend them.

[Applause]

Let me add: Our constitutional democracy demands our participation, not just every four years, but all the time. So let's do all we can to keep advancing the causes and values we all hold dear. Making our economy work for everyone, not just those at the top, protecting our country and protecting our planet.

And breaking down all the barriers that hold any American back from achieving their dreams. We spent a year and a half bringing together millions of people from every corner of our country to say with one voice that we believe that the American dream is big enough for everyone.

For people of all races, and religions, for men and women, for immigrants, for LGBT people, and people with disabilities. For everyone.

I am so grateful to stand with all of you. I want to thank Tim Kaine and Anne Holton for being our partners on this journey. [Cheers and applause]

It has been a joy get to go know them better and gives me great hope and comfort to know that Tim will remain on the front lines of our democracy representing Virginia in the Senate. [Cheers and applause]

To Barack and Michelle Obama, our country owes you an enormous debt of gratitude.

We thank you for your graceful, determined leadership that has meant so much to so many Americans and people across the world. And to Bill and Chelsea, Mark, Charlotte, Aidan, our brothers and our entire family, my love for you means more than I can ever express.

You crisscrossed this country, even 4-month-old Aidan, who traveled with his mom. I will always be grateful to the talented, dedicated men and women at our headquarters in Brooklyn and across our country.

You poured your hearts into this campaign. To some of you who are veterans, it was a campaign after you had done other campaigns. Some of you, it was your first campaign. I want each of you to know that you were the best campaign anybody could have ever expected or wanted.

And to the millions of volunteers, community leaders, activists and union organizers who knocked on doors, talked to their neighbors, posted on Facebook — even in secret private Facebook sites.

I want everybody coming out from behind that and make sure your voices are heard going forward. [Cheers and applause]

To anyone that sent contributions, even as small as $5, that kept us going, thank you. To all of us, and to the young people in particular, I hope you will hear this — I have, as Tim said, I have spent my entire life fighting for what I believe in.

I've had successes and setbacks and sometimes painful ones. Many of you are at the beginning of your professional, public, and political careers — you will have successes and setbacks too.

This loss hurts, but please never stop believing that fighting for what's right is worth it.

It is, it is worth it. [Cheers and applause]

And so we need — we need you to keep up these fights now and for the rest of your lives. And to all the women, and especially the young women, who put their faith in this campaign and in me: I want you to know that nothing has made me prouder than to be your champion.

Now, I know we have still not shattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling, but someday someone will — and hopefully sooner than we might think right now. [Cheers and applause]

And to all of the little girls who are watching this, never doubt that you are valuable and powerful and deserving of every chance and opportunity in the world to pursue and achieve your own dreams.
[Cheers and applause]

Finally, finally, I am so grateful for our country and for all it has given to me.

I count my blessings every single day that I am an American, and I still believe, as deeply as I ever have, that if we stand together and work together with respect for our differences, strengthen our convictions, and love for this nation, our best days are still ahead of us.

Because, you know, I believe we are stronger together and we will go forward together. And you should never, ever regret fighting for that. You know, scripture tells us, let us not grow weary of doing good, for in good season we shall reap. My friends, let us have faith in each other, let us not grow weary and lose heart, for there are more seasons to come and there is more work to do.

I am incredibly honored and grateful to have had this chance to represent all of you in this consequential election. May God bless you and may God bless the United States of America."

Has Leftists around the world recovered from the shock yet?
Libtards still think Trump has no right to enter the white house.. & it's right of the left to Govern the masses! Leftists need to open their eyes & make peace with the fact that ideology as has come full circle! You can not demean or show utter contempt to the ideology or those who are opposed to yours! Hence the wind of changes around the developed & developing world, from Europe to America to Asia!

 

[T-72]

anyone notice that Trump always maintained a degree of respect for Obama all through the campaign, no nicknames etc

 

[ChineseTiger1986]

He also claimed to pay the respect for Hillary, and still being old buddies after the election. Such thing "put her in jail" simply won't happen. This is the political compromisation between the elites.

- Hillary won't go to the jail and the Fed won't get audited.

- Trump will do everything to contain China just like Obama did before.

- Assad still needs to go and Ukraine has to join NATO.

Hillary just lost in the President interview, so he will do her jobs, and the jobs remain the same.

 

[T-72]

he could have branded Obama for life, and it would have stuck lol

poor crooked hillary

Putin and Merkel, cant wait for that photo op

 

[flamer84]

Got to love the internet today,hollywood's a$$ on fire

anyone notice that Trump always maintained a degree of respect for Obama all through the campaign, no nicknames etc

Because he's smart,after the hispanics he didn't want to alienate the black vote altogether.

Yeah right....9 hours later than she should have done it,after probably crying in a pillow all day and abandoning her supporters in the middle of the night.

Hillary just lost in the President interview, so he will do her jobs, and the jobs remain the same.

we'll see, China figured prominently in his rhetoric all through the primaries and into the general campaign, but on stuff like fixing the trade deficit and to do with intellectual property etc, not so much for a military confrontation but he did drop a few "they're building fortresses in the SCS"

lets see, Trump and Duterte should be interesting..

http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-reaction-philippines-idUSKBN13412N

So far there is no indication that he will want to remove Assad, no more Saudi terror influence in the white house, lets hope so anyway.

Because he's smart,after the hispanics he didn't want to alienate the black vote altogether.

he did ok with the hispanics and blacks, much better than Romney, right ?

His campaign was never racially motivated in that sense, the white nationalists just happened to find some common ground with him but there's nothing nefarious cooking there. The WN stuff is a reality that all western societies must eventual confront, regulation political fringe loonies for now.

I'm afraid that is a lesson the left will never learn.

I'm sure they didn't die for a manipulative,lying,corrupt shedevil bankrolled by gulf arab money,campaigning with lady Gaga,Beyonce and her from the hood husband Jay z,to become President.

Hey werent you gonna leave the forum if trump wins
