The names the media keeps listing for Trump's Administration - I don't know whether comedy or tragedy is the best word to describe it

Also, if you look at all the 'losers':

2016: Clinton
2012: Romney
2008: McCain
2004: Kerry
2000: Al Gore
1996: Bob Dole
1992: George H.W Bush

They were all perceived as the more boring candidate. You can even go further back with Reagan beating Carter and Mondale. Trump doesn't have charisma in the same way Obama did, but he does carry an energy and did clearly capture a lot of people (obviously Clinton won the popular vote, but still)

It makes you think about much of a role personality politics is having on swaying independents. So maybe fielding someone like Oprah wouldn't be such a bad idea, really.

Imagine Oprah vs Trump in 2020.... 2 celebrity billionaires running for president

I could see Mark Cuban running. He needs to turn Democrat though.

Pretty good read.

Obama is such a smart, good hearted guy. I can't believe he's about to hand the reigns over to an absolute fool

White women own up to it: You're the reason Hillary Clinton lost

I don't understand white women.

Fifty-three percent of you chose an indisputably unqualified man for a job over a woman who could run circles around him.

Isn't that the very thing you're always complaining about in the workplace?

Here, you had an opportunity to place a woman in the most coveted position in our land. And you blew it.

Perhaps you thought he was a better fit. How many times have women heard that excuse when being turned down for a position? After all, the predominantly male power structure — the Congress in this case — would feel more comfortable with someone at the helm who looks and thinks like them.

And white women, exit polls show that you apparently bought into that ridiculous, stereotypical notion.

It wasn't just the uneducated ones who voted for Trump, either. Forty-five percent of you hold college degrees.

Black women thought you were serious about breaking that glass ceiling. But when you were close enough to touch it, you turned around and walked away. Maybe it wasn't all that important to you after all.

If white women struggle to achieve equal status with white men, know that it is twice as difficult for black women. Still, 94 percent of black women voted for Clinton. And unlike white men, of which 63 percent voted for Trump, 80 percent of black men voted for Clinton.

So while everyone's pointing a finger at someone else for messing up this election, when it comes to black voters, you need to keep your hands in your pocket. Don't dare accuse black voters of staying home in urban cities like Detroit, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Cincinnati and Cleveland and allowing rural white voters to outnumber them at the polls. Latino women turned out in stronger numbers than you too. Sixty-eight percent of them voted for Clinton.

According to a study by the Center for Talent Innovation, a New York-based think tank that studies labor trends involving gender and other areas, black women and white women view power in completely different ways.

As it turns out, black women are nearly three times more likely to aspire to a powerful position with a prestigious title than white women. The reason is simple. Black women are used to being in control.

We come from a long line of matriarchs — black women who prevailed as breadwinners despite a relentless undertow of discrimination and economic hardship, according to the 2014 study, "Ambition in Black and White: The Feminist Narrative Revised."

And as far as black women are concerned, you can be sure of this: We're going to think long and hard the next time white women ask us to follow them up a ladder so they can leave us out on a ledge.

OH MY GOODNESS. If this article did not GIVE ME LIFEEEEEEEEE. LISTEN. She did that!

I agree. We need to start looking at what happened in NC four years ago, because that's what I think is going to happen on a national scale. They need to come up with a 'Moral Monday' for DC

The Republican establishment is so pathetic for solely blaming Trump for ruining their party. They did it to themselves by wasting their time grooming Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio as their nominee and allowing Trump to swoop in and gain mass support with a powerful contrarian "screw the establishment" movement and turning their party into even more of a joke. Nobody was here for another Bush and Rubio wasn't ready for prime time, so they essentially handed Hillary the win from the get-go. Now their atrocious handling of this election is backfiring because they could very easily lose the presidency, senate, and House. Talent won.

The irony of people calling the Clintons immune from the law

[Achilles.]

If you’re trying to call the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, you might find yourself on hold for . . . the afternoon.

The committee’s phones became jammed most of Friday after a Facebook post calling for an investigation into President-elect Donald Trump’s finances started to go viral. The message urged readers to call the panel to “support the call for a bipartisan review of Trump’s financials and apparent conflicts of interest” after Trump’s daughter and son-in-law joined his private meeting Thursday night at Trump Tower with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
