That's part of the problem. We in SF, NY, Boston live in a bubble, "fantasy America". We do not see how the rest (75%) of America is doing. My friends are buying $800,000 - $1mil homes and think that they did pretty ok while some poor schmuck in Alabama is eating Oreos for dinner... The income gap is huge and these elections are the result of this historical inequality. I'm not calling for communism our socialism here just saying that half of the country are not doing well. Now if we get those self driving trucks rolling - what happens with the last accessible middle class paying job in USA - truck driver and huge portion of middle class America that is still hanging in somehow? We need a change that Hillary couldn't provide and I doubt that Trump could do it either.

I am particularly happy that people outside of that SF/NY/Boston bubble chose Donald Trump, while acknowledging his character flaws, instead of paying any attention whatsoever to the mass media.

Though I fully agree with you -- We need a change (which change? I'm not sure!). Hilary Clinton definitely couldn't provide any positive change; also doubt Donald Trump can, thus I apathetically voted for a different candidate than either Clinton or Trump. Yet, I fully stand behind President Trump (feels weird to say that, eh.. I know..) as our president, with our country balanced in unity. I hope for the best with his leadership of the next four years!

Well there was no other choice except voting against all and disrupting election process which would never happen with out some major unification across America. Not happening today.

So here we are taking sharp 90 degree turn at the fork. We would rather have a clown in the white house (with mysterious bag of tricks) than continuing with the current policies.

This is not over. These elections are just the beginning. I hope that there will be no blood shed... :(
