If he appoints Sarah Palin to something, I'd say that pretty much settles it.

No but he sure exposed all the butthurts out there for what they are, just as the gay marriage proposals exposed the bigotry that many Christians had for gays, that's for sure.

I agree he just exposed how dumb the populace has always been. It doesn't take much. Just look at the English level on most internet sites. These guys have to learn one language. Just one. They still can't get 3rd grade grammar down. Worlds richest country and this is the level of language. Go to Europe and you see them speaking 3-4 languages with excellent grammar.

All of this from a group that actually respected their teachers. With today's kids even that is gone.

The level of most Hollywood movies and MSM is already at the 3rd grade level. He just brought his showbusiness skills to politics. It worked great.

Im sure others will try to emulate it.

I should probably find out first: are you talking about the upright moral brigade throwing away their values and pitching decency out the window for political gain and to rail against perceived threats?

I don't get the feeling people are butthurt about Trump winning. I think they are genuinely either fearful for the U.S., for themselves, or both. Financially, Trump is probably okay for me, as long as he doesn't completely destroy our economy. On environmental issues, social issues, and the well-being of the country I am fearful. I guess you can say I am butthurt in the sense that I expected better from Americans. Its absolutely ridiculous.

Oh you mean irrational fear is ok? It's good to be completely irrational and full of fear, way to teach your kids bro.

They hate anyone who doesn't completely agree with their twisted world views. They want to dictate to you what to do with yourself, regulate a woman's right to choose but don't touch their guns, 4x4 pickups or tell them to go on a diet because they are Christians (in name only fellas, in name only).

I cannot stomach going to church anymore because of people like this. I can't take being around so much hate all packed up into a small space. The Religitards of today are no different than they were when Jesus walked the earth and he had to go round and round with them back in the day as they tried to force themselves upon the people. Yep big religion is not Christian nor is hating on people because they are different.
