Yikes! And he makes a good point (this is something I had to learn, too). Is that he doesn't have a choice. Regardless of his personal alignment, the state has voted in a certain way and he is responsible for aligning with that vote. That is too bad. I really hope this madness ends soon.

It's crazy, and like the guy says in the video the tensions and rancor is really wild out there. I live in California and have some left over Trump for President 2016 bumper stickers, and I have been putting them in strategic locations such as in Barnes and Noble, a bagel shop and so on just to observe some go into complete freak fits as part of a social experiment on the state of mind of Hillary Democrats - man oh man (woman oh woman), it's nuts out there.

Today, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, who is believed to be one of those who was almost physically assaulted by an enraged Hillary Clinton after losing the election while having an "episode", and who is a longtime friend and associate of Bill and Hillary Clinton, told the Washington Post that Hillary "is finished with politics". McAuliffe said that Clinton’s loss to Trump was "especially tough for the Clintons" and "... it’s hard, very tough" because on election night they were sure they were going to win, but then didn't. He then added, "uh... As governor of Virginia, I’ve got to move forward" which struck a tone with some that he is dumping the Clinton's and focusing on his own political survival.

There is a lot of concern in the Democratic Party that they are totally entrapped by the party establishment which just re-elected House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi today in a closed-door vote, clearly communicating a "nothing changes" policy and message by the establishment despite losing the State Legislatures, House, Senate, Governorships, Presidency, and soon the Supreme Court, and with Pelosi at the healm further losses one year from now in Louisiana and two years from now in the House are guaranteed.

Today also, the sex offender of an under aged 15-year-old girl and Democrat Anthony Weiner left his Tennessee sex addiction rehabilitation clinic and went to the shared apartment in New York with Huma Abedin, and Huma was spotted also later entering the apartment after visiting Elizabeth Arden's Red Door Salon as well as getting her nails manicured at Blooming Nails. She is now in the apartment with Anthony despite stating back in August they were separated, and rumor is Huma is now pissed off with Hillary and she and her husband will be cooperating with the FBI to put Hillary in prison.

What a day.

True that. Not nowadays. Sadly.

Sadly is right. And I know things like this come from the extreme of both sides. This is unacceptable. No one, democrat , republican or other should be subject to threats or intimidation for taking part in our electoral system. I'm all for spirited debate. Sometimes I get a different perspective than I had before. Sometimes my original thoughts are reinforced. But the thought of wishing or threatening harm toward another who has a different perspective than me? Not gonna happen. I'm very concerned about the country our children are inheriting from us. We can do better.

Yes, but better perhaps for all to see what lies beneath that thin veil of liberal 'open mindedness inclusiveness' we hear so much about

I saw some Trump supporters demonstrating in my town before the election, middle of the day, on the sidewalk, men women and children with signs, flasks, the most benign demonstration I ever saw in my life

Later the same day, I heard the local public radio hosts, call them a 'flash mob' and they laughed about suggesting people should 'fall asleep at the wheel' when they passed by..:eek: considering what happened in Nice not so long ago, this is one of the most disturbing things I heard during the whole election. I really should have filed a complaint but didn't get around to it.

I read an article yesterday about an elector who resigned because he could not, in good conscience, vote for the person his state elected him to vote for... It was well-written.

That was Texas. He said he felt Donald Trump wasn't "biblically qualified" to be president, whatever that means. But yeah, if your not going to carry the people of your states will as an elector then by all means resign. I think he did the right thing considering.

He did.

As a Christian, I would think you could understand the ideological differences between what the common tenets of the faith preach compared to the actualized character of Donald Trump. You know what I mean? Even as an atheist, I can see the discrepancies and conflicts that are bound to arise between himself and the Evangelical voters. What I find more surprising is that this doesn't happen more often.

I think anyone who would take the time out and go to such lengths to stalk anti-Trump supporters should maybe want to rethink referring to others as being nuts and having freak fits.

Well, considering a group of armed terrorists who took over a federal building in Oregon were acquitted, this is probably going to be the least of our worries in the future.

If they qualify as terrorist, they weren't very good at it.
