Who is watching the election results??

It is not as bad as people would believe. Not a very good outcome for us, but not the end of the world. The thing is, beyond pandering to get votes from christian conservatives, Trump doesn't care about LGBT issues other than to him it should be decided at the state level (Still a horrible idea). With the defeat of Pat Mcory on the horizon, fewer Republicans are going to push for bills like HB2 as they all know it will negatively impact their economy. I do believe that HB2 without the governors support will be repealed or nullified rather quickly.

I have been amazed at how ugly this race was.  I have to say they were both very poor candidates and not wanting one of them is not enough to force me to vote for the other.  In the end, all we can hope is that the behavior of the campaign doesn't cross into the actual term and the advisors that surround those with power are smarter than the office holders themselves.

As far as money, power and greed goes.  This isn't the first election to show that as the main focus.  This election more than anything shows how sick of Washington people are, with any luck the sitting policy makers may notice that. 

Either way, the sun is up today and I am planning to enjoy my time as it is.

Agreed Jessica.

There was a great deal of demagoguery from both candidates and from both campaigns. 

The most encouraging thing I saw this election cycle was Tump's victory speech in which he showed a level of class.  Where he changed his tone and language from that of campaigner to the tone of a statesman.  I doubt Clinton would have shown that much class, in fact doubt she could have, made that change.  She is too much the politician.

I do have a concern about how I will now be treated now in this retirement park full of Trump lawn signs.  I hope they don't take their dislike for me out on my near century old mother.  I have a dozen women here I could call supporters of me. I  hope the other near thousand can play nice.

I will have to do some politicking on my own.  Smile and be a lady to all the AWM here,  so we can maintain quiet enjoyment. I'm not the only democrat here,  but I  do feel like the only goldfish in a bowl surrounded by hungry republican cats peering in the top.

Management has tried to pull cloaked dirty tricks,  I did pass the word I will seek help from higher sources. That stopped the shenanigans for now.
