Exploding heads all over the place
It's so delicious. Sorry to pile on, but these people brought all this on themselves. As Obama's preacher once said, "anti-Trumpster chickens, are coming home, TO ROOST!"
All I'm reading right now is article after article of all these idiots who thought a Trump victory had zero chance of happening. The hand wringing and the lashing out has been more than satisfying. Thank you for making my morning almost as pleasant as last night.

Yeah I don't know how excited I am for his Presidency but I sure as hell am enjoying the sight of bubbles bursting and falling to the ground almost everywhere. Watching the Today Show wondering how many hours went into making victory vignettes for Trump vs. those made for Clinton. They probably had a month's worth of material ready to cue until the results came in and they had to get crackin' on enough video to make it through the morning.

The "Intelligentsia" just can't come to grips with the fact that a great divide separates them from the rest of us. Now they know that, when the public gets pissed-off enough...even the UNTHINKABLE becomes possible.

the mainstream media news and some cable stations will take a big hit as well - what viewership they still had, will be dwindling

The only two times I turned on MSNBC this election cycle was when the Access Hollywood tape broke (and the people all sitting around the table reveling in the opinion that Trump MUST step down now...  ), and last night, when they couldn't accept what was happening before their very eyes.
I did happen to tune in when Chris Matthews was making some VERY excellent points...I am going to try and find that video and post it...it was some amazing stuff, for that channel...

Someone sent me a screenshot of the CNN site shortly after it was over.

Ditto.
Somewhat buried in all the hoopla is that the GOP retains control of the House and Senate. All in all, I see the election as a repudiation of the Obama regime. The death spiral of the Obama legacy begins today.
At the same time, Congress looks like the same old GOP establishment, and I doubt that they will be falling all over themselves to give Trump what he wants. The Senate will be 51-49 Republican, and I have seen no trend toward new leadership there. The House is 238-191. Lots of recent rumors about whether Paul Ryan will remain Speaker, or if he even wants to.
Trump isn't going to find it easy working with Congress. He probably be better off holding back and letting Pence take the lead on any legislative efforts. But I don't know if his ego would allow that.

The trend has been clear since 2010 at the grass roots level. Obama managed to rise above it based solely on personality politics. The elites mistook that for reality.
But then this election was greatly influenced by personality too. Trump's is arrogant and Hillary doesn't have one.

Great minds think alike...well at least sometimes.  But I agree totally with you. It will be an uphill battle for Trump. As I wrote earlier on another thread, the Beltway Establishment on both sides of the aisle already resents him greatly. They will view Trump as a rank political amateur, a neophyte outsider and a trouble-maker who has come to DC to demolish their house of cards.

Inertia is the driving force in Washington. Ronald Reagan came in thinking that he could clean house and got educated. Obama thought he could put an end to "politics as usual" and never did figure it out. Trump is as naive and egotistical as Obama and has no where near the leadership ability of Reagan. Life will go on as usual.
