PJ Media ^ | November 10, 2016 | Tom Knighton

“People are frustrated, people are just really sad and shocked,” said Trey Boynton, the director of multi-ethnic student affairs at the University of Michigan. “A lot of people are feeling like there has been a loss. We talked about grief today and about the loss of hope that this election would solidify the progress that was being made.”

There was a steady flow of students entering Ms. Boynton’s office Wednesday. They spent the day sprawled around the center, playing with Play-Doh and coloring in coloring books, as they sought comfort and distraction.

Are these the generation that didn’t play ball games to win? The same generation who didn’t have toy guns and little soldiers to play with? Is this the same generation that got hurt by someone in the class that called them a dirty name or threw chewing gum at them? To much emphasis on BS feelings, man and woman up, sticks and stones can break your bones but names will only harm you, if you run for office! I was called Deplorable, uneducated, redneck by a pussy and I didn’t cry over it. So Pussy who thought she was the smartest woman in the world actually showed how stupid she really was and lost.

“You must have been frightened, particularly because your parents were probably scared——”

My father had died 4 years earlier———we were tough in those days,now I am a spoiled rotten Senior.

....I find this particularly amusing because I started saying that Odungo
would give Biden Play Doh to go play in the rose garden when they wanted him out of earshot in the WH back in 2010.

Are they curled up in balls on the floor, sucking on their thumbs? Are they wrapped up in fuzzy blankets?

Sheesh. I remember when Reagan won in ‘80 and how proud everyone was, and the leftie college students weren’t provided with hug-and-cry rooms.

Give them a job cleaning the college bathrooms every morning and evening until they are feeling better. Shouldn’t take long to recover.

Hilarious if it wasn’t so serious.

Adult cry-babies are our future leaders of tomorrow.

G-d help us all.

They ‘ve grown up in a world where lies and a lack of common sense was the norm, Obama. They can’t deal with the truth.

It would be helpful if a lot of these places were shut down. They obviously aren’t higher learning. These babies need to be thrown out into the world to find work.
