it was always worth a shot for them, nothing to lose and maybe a little to gain, who knows maybe trump will impose import tariffs and the US will reverse the rot that has taken hold, maybe just maybe they can rebuild manufacturing againQuote:

To the degree that Mr Trump is serious about pursuing policies that improve the lives of working families in this country, I and other progressives are prepared to work with him.
To the degree that he pursues racist, sexist, xenophobic and anti-environment policies, we will vigorously oppose him".
Anyone who believes Trumps pre election persona will relate much to President Trump doesn't now much about politics.
He will tone it down , he wont cut off China , he wont bring the jobs home as it isnt feasible. I could go on.
The President is a figure head not someone in total control of the country.
Go **** yourself.Quote:

I am content with Trump as president, I am not thrilled or happy about the outcome but he won't be as bad as you think, much like Brexit.
As long as he builds a wall then nothing else matters.Quote:

Also take a look at Hollywood, the media luvvies exclusively backed Clinton, in fact the highest profile endorsements Trump received were iron Mike Tyson and Gary Busey.
I found this election fascinating. As you probably know, America is like two countries, Rural Vs Urban. I have first hand experience of the differences, I was lucky enough to be able to work in America for three months shortly after Obama was elected in 2008. I was based in Milwaukee but regularly had to go "upstate" to the sticks. I listened to talk radio the whole time I was there, I was surprised by the liberal nature of the content in Milwaukee but when I traveled outside of the city the stations were quite terrifying, angry and the hatred of Obama was palpable. This wasn't even the deep south.
It's a fair point, but Trump isn't a politician. Whether you think Obama was a good president or not, he had the statesman aura about him, and Trump needs to find that.Quote:

It's interesting that American politicians always bang on about looking after their middle class whereas here it's all about hard-working families (who are presumably not middle class in the main).Quote:

I was surprised that enough white heterosexuals remained in the critical swing states to push Trump over the line.Quote:

When she made those comments - a serious mistake for many reasons - she was talking about the people who were actively supporting Trump during the election campaign, not future voters. So not 'half the country' - just half the Trump activists!Quote:

No, not having a go at you bruv - I totally agree with you about how crass his campaign was. We'll just have to wait and see if a crass campaign translates into a crass presidency. :thumbup:Quote:
