Another idiot republican who didn’t vote for Trump, didn’t support Trump but is soooooo glad that Hillary didn’t win...

Just shut the f*ck up.

I’m not so sure that McCain, Graham and Flake didn’t vote for Hillary.

The NeverTrumpers = morons.

Anyone willing to give up 3 or 4 SCOTUS picks to Hillary is either insane or an idiot.

Trump exposed the Uniparty - the evil cabal in control of BOTH parties. Republicans are used to being the fake opposition party.

Why didn’t they have a plan to replace ObamaCare? They were for it. They were part of the problem.

Trump needs to purge the Republican party of RINOs and redefine the party as American first/anti-globalist sellout. The open borders crowd owns the RINOs.

I voted for Trump specifically because I knew I didn't want her anywhere near the Whitehouse ever again. I still have a lot of concerns about him. Pretty much the same as the guy in the article. I'm also pleasantly surprised by him. Maybe not so much, but some. I did expect him to jump in and get to work. That much has been no surprise. Maybe you should think a little longer before telling people to shut up. He needs all the help he can get, and better late than never. The Patriots who founded this country numbered less than a third of the population. Libs are around that already. Do not make the mistake of thinking this thing is won.

Pretty good statement.

Until I got to “allegations of sexual assault”. The BS factor filter kicked in very hard. He did not need to say that, it is rubbish.

But coming from the Leftist USA Today, it is downright amazing.

“Republicans” like this guy are what caused Trump to lose the popular vote. I lived in Illinois briefly from 2002 to 2005 and I voted in each primary and general election. Every damn one of them.

“Republicans” like this guy are what caused Trump to lose the popular vote.

The Popular vote idea really is that New York, Chicago and Los Angeles always selects the President the United States. Our founders didn't want stuff like this to happen so they created the Electoral college.

Besides that, Trump knew he probably would win New York, California, and Illinois, so he did not campaign there. Therefore forsaking the "Popular Vote" in effect to win the Electoral College and win the Presidency.

Hillary failed this spectacularly:

Why is he now so “pleasantly surprised”? Trump is doing exactly what he said he would do. He apparently wasn’t listening during the campaign.
