The point is that Trump throws shit at the wall to rabble rouse, whether it sticks or not doesn't matter. This looked like just more Trump shit that flunked a websearch.

Wonder what "I won't get fooled again" sounds played in reverse, do tell.

I will wager that more than half of Trump voters don't even know there was a band called 'The Who.'

Lack of historical knowledge, both pop and real, is a great reason why history sort of repeats. Though WWIII will be different in important ways....

It is like all those young voters choosing Johnson because Hillary was not cool.

Guess what Johnson will never pass tuition free college. At least Hillary would have been able to sign it if came to her desk one day.

Trump was new on the political scene and sold himself effectively; selling Hillary was like selling a day old bread. Blaming the voters is not going to help, understanding why is the key.

Democrats have a lot of young leaders in the wings, Republicans not that many. Maybe our young leaders can reach out better to the young voters, but for that to happen, the Pelosi's and the Reid's need to vacate the scene.

Excellent point and the premature anointing of Hillary discouraged them from running. One might say prevented. Bernie was allowed to challenge her because he was perceived as not having a chance. He surprised them and they didn't learn, which hurt them against Trump.

Hillary was like a third term for Bill and I guess the Rust Belters remembered Bill.

55% of Millennials voted for HRC and Trump got 37%. The remaining 8% were divided between Johnson and Stein. So, they did their job and most certainly didn't break for Uncle Doobie.

It was old white people who elected Trump, people just like you and me.

The answer to that one is obvious but doesn't happen to be the point I was responding to. As it happens, Romney got 37% of the Millennial vote too but that's not on point either.

On Wednesday White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the president still believes Mr. Trump is unfit to succeed him but respects the outcome of the election.

The Obamas canceled a photo-op of the current and future first couples outside the south entrance of the White House.
