Does the View need someone to annoy Joy Behar?
Elizabeth Hasselbeck makes Katrina Pierson look like a Rhodes Scholar.

Wasn't sure if you meant that the other way round?

Perhaps Elizabeth will join the administration as special counsellor just to annoy Rosie O Donnell - she hasn't had much work since she got sacked by (sorry resigned from!) Fox News.

I have to laugh at the Trump supporters who act as if votes from the likes of New York and California shouldn't count. Oh, yes, let's disenfranchise a fifth of the population cos they don't vote how you like!

i'm so disappointed

Trump has just named his Communications team and Katriona Pierson has been overlooked as press secretary

Dan Scavino to be the busiest man in the White House, he's going to be Trump's Social Media Director
Ha ha ha. Oh god to be a fly on the wall of the social media office.

""Uh Mr Scavino the president would like to tweet the nuclear codes, he said a DM to @pussys4putin would be fine''

I've just read in a prominent newspapers that Trump's political influence and the devastating effects of his landslide victory on a liberal female population (and feminist and lesbian as well) are not only evident in their disbelief of a humiliating political loss and the number of faithless electors who broke up allegiance with the establishment but also in their greatly diminished (sexual) libido.

I can not believe that they are going to blame their sexual life on Trump.

I reckon their Vagina Business should be kept to private confinements and not proclaimed to the whole world that they go frigid as though it was someone else's fault.

No, I mean that Katrina Pierson is one of the most asinine, ridiculous humans that has ever gone on Fox news and vomited up her garbage viewpoints in front of the American people.

Those posters in this thread who expressed the view that the number of electoral college votes should be based on the land area of each state instead of their population figures were actually saying that the votes of each person in the more densely populated states should be worth less.

The AP found that Eric Trump has exaggerated the size of his foundation and the donations it receives.
altho that could be a euphenism

It could also be like father, like son. Neither are capable of telling the truth.

Donald Trump's campaign co-chair tells Michelle Obama to go to Africa and live with a gorilla

“Obama catches mad cow disease after being caught having relations with a Hereford (cow). He dies before his trial and is buried in a cow pasture next to Valerie Jarrett,”
Ms Obama “return to being a male and let loose in the outback of Zimbabwe where she lives comfortably in a cave with Maxie, the gorilla”.
Good to see trump's "friends" are keeping to their low standards - and low levels of knowledge as there's no gorillas in Zimbabwe - though there is an aged dictator.

No, I'm saying that dismissing people and their opinions as "stupid" doesn't win elections. There have always been stupid people. On both sides of the political fence. Their votes are worth exactly the same as everyone elses.
its at least a triple problem.

Less bright, and less well educated, people don't do well in the modern economy. There's 4 or 5 billion people out there who can do what they do, cheaper.

That means that even if politicians listen to them, there's no answers to their problem. Less money to spend too as an aging population takes what could go to investment. The only miracle cures on offer - massive borrowing , or massive increases in growth, as promised by Trump , just won't happen. Trump's 4% growth rate is likely to be 2% in real terms ,and tincrease inflaton- not allowing for trade wars.

The US has a worse version of the problem Elderly voters don't want to retrain. House price differentials mean that fewer people can now move to states that have the better jobs. And the most successful areas are succesful - because they have the critical mass of supportive businesses and services, needed to function.

The result is that the least well educated swing to Trump, while the more highly educated swing to Clinton - producing a more, and more divided country on age, race,income, and education level.
