I'm a little concerned about Trump in foreign relations. I think he'll stick up for us, but I hope he doesn't say anything too stupid in the process. Looks like Putin is pleased with this outcome, so that's good....

I sincerely hope the next 4 years are interesting; we'll have to wait and see.



I edited your first two sentences and other than that, I couldn't have said it better myself. I don't think Trump is the sharpest tack in the drawer, nor is he well spoken. I hope he "drains the swamp" and surrounds himself with an honest cabinet. Change is coming. Just have to cross our fingers that the bull in the China shop doesn't screw it up worse.

This Republican victory was still a very narrow race and the silent majority spoke. Unfortunately, that majority is aging and I believe it is only a matter of time before our elections swing left permanently.
