Yeah, that's the one. As opposed to the REST of the news outlets that did HilLIEery's bidding. Even with all of those outlets firmly in her camp, she still lost.
Listen, I know your butt hurts more than a pretty boy in prison, but you really need to get over it. Donald J. Trump is the 45th President of the United States.
New York and Chicago were all in with respect to their sanctuary status — until they were hit with the challenge of actually providing sanctuary. In other words, typical liberal hypocrisy.

I'm cold, but I need to deal with reality and take the good and not-so-good.
Ask not what your country can do FOR you; ask what they are about to do TO YOU!!

I get the entertainment value.
But I also fear for The United States of America. The people. The land. The law of the land - which enshrines liberty, equality, justice, a unique ststem of checks and balances on power among the three branches of government, The Bill of Rights which includes among others - freedom of the press and of religion and of protest.

The day a mentally ill con man took over the presidency of The United States.

If these are things you truly value, the past eight years must have been truly miserable for you!

You've got that utterly wrong, Bryce. But everyone here knows - you know that.

Going out at a very high 58% approval while Trump comes in at 40% approval undermines the theory that people didn't like what happened the last 8 years...

58% is better than average, but I wouldn't call it "very high". If it was, say 75%, that would be another story. The number you quote would indicate that 42% of the people don't like what has happened over the past eight years.
Polls, as we've seen, can contain inaccuracies. I've never put much stock in them, even before November 8th.

Considering recent presidents... W went out at 40... Clinton went out at 56... HW was at 62... I suppose he's in the ballpark... they didn't ask before that... 58-42 is also a landslide...

Again, I wouldn't consider that a landslide. If my kid scores 58% on a test, he gets a failing grade.
Majority? Yes, but a mediocre majority.
Obama is like any other president....some good....some bad....some in-between.

Well in an election it is anyways.... a 16 point gap in this hyper polarized world is really good...
