Tompkins Democratic Victory Party feels like 'morgue' as whispers of Trump presidency creep in

ITHACA, N.Y. -- The Tompkins County Democratic Victory Party in downtown Ithaca feels like a "morgue" as less than half a dozen people remain to watch the numbers of the presidential election roll in.

One Democrat who left early said the room felt like a "morgue".

Democrat Matt Van Houten, the newly elected District Attorney said, "I don't know what to say...I had thought that Hillary was a lock."

He said he never remembers feeling this kind of dread on the eve of a national election before. The closest thing he can recall is when George W. Bush and Al Gore were deadlocked for the presidency in Florida back in 2000.

"I don't think that that compares to this," he said.

Assembly woman Barbra Lifton, who won her eighth term Tuesday night, was nearly in tears as she put on her salmon colored coat to leave the the ballroom.

She said in frustration, "We don't know who he is. We don't know who he is!"

But we know who Hillary is and that’s why we voted against her.

“We don’t know who he is. We don’t know who he is!”

As if they knew who Obama was 8 years ago.

I think that this is a signal that America is tired of the ruling elite. We have asked for a change now maybe Congress will listen.I hope and pray that folks will try and come together and work for the betterment of America. Trump and Pence has a lot of work to do and I pray for good choices when he picks his cabinet.

Yeah, well, a lot of people know what Hillary is, and they want no part of her.

So much irony everywhere I look. I guess it would not be sporting of me to point it out to those around me and would not do me any favors in the long run, but ... it would be fun.

Liberals were blindsided by the liars in their own party.

They were played for fools by their own political operatives.

Did democrats really believe that their goons ONLY lied to us?

No way.

They lied to them - they lied to the press - they lied to the pundits... They've been doing it for years.

What a hoot - hoisted by their own patard...

That’s because most Dem voters are already dead.

I savor their gloom! I was stationed at the NROTC at Cornell and I did not like the general population even way back then. They think they are so superior.

Hey #DemonRatScum ‘Not knowing who he is’ didn’t keep you from nominating Barack Hussein Obama! I’ll be willing to bet that the ‘J’ for Mr Trump’s middle name is a Judeo-Christian name; James, John or even Joseph perhaps.
