He's the perfect statesman. He can govern like a pro it in his sleep!

I'm sorry you feel Trump can do no right, I am giving him the benefit of the doubt and assuming most of what he said in the race to presidency was strategic and intentionally populist. He has already said several things that highlight he is aware of his new role and what it means and thats very hopeful

    Heh, I was talking about the media's attitude, not mine. The opinion of Obola should've been a tip off.

    So... Trump is now a scumbag because he plans to  take as little salary  as possible ($1 by law) for being president. HAHAH.

     

    Between this, the sneaking out for dinner,  and the whole steak fiasco.. how can anyone take the media seriously when they whine about Trump? :p

    I do wonder whether he/ Time believed what was written in that article or if they felt compelled to do it as the alternative was to admit they had things completely wrong. Neither is a great prospect for motivation, of course, but Time was one of the most stridently anti Trump media (things like the 'Meltdown' and 'Complete Meltdown' covers) so they have to come up with some reason for why they were wrong apart from them being rubbish- because if they're rubbish then why would you buy their mag? Have to say though, I actually haven't seen many articles in that vein. Lots of general wailings and 'where did we go wrongs' from the media, lots of post facto Hillary blaming, very little Bernie Blaming. Guess the loss was sufficiently bad and unexpected that it has caused a genuine jolt, while the Gore 2000 loss at least could be mitigated by/ chalked up to hanging chads or 'cheating' from Katherine Harris.

     

    I'd tend to rate the overall Democrat response as being pretty decently self aware- so far. It's a big organisation with lots of vested interests, it can't pivot on a dime. The Wasserman-Schultz's and Brazile's are unlike to fall on their swords politically or metaphorically but there does seem to be some acknowledgement that things went Very Wrong and a desire to fix them. Probably the only way to make things worse is to blame Bernie for everything, though, and that has to be a temptation for Hillary supporters.

    The easy cop out is blame white people for being racists even though many of the same states that voted for Trump also voted for Obama. Yet they are racist because they chose one whitey over another. L0L

     

    A more plausible reason is racist (and sexist) black men (and women) did not want to vote for a white woman (or man) so didn't even bother to vote.
