Does anyone else wonder what Trump voters were voting FOR?

The footage of the enraged shopper yelling at retail workers. The racist rants of the woman in line at JC Penney. The angry dude screaming at the other people on the Delta (?) flight. The epithet-filled comments on so many Facebook posts.

It's like the country picked up a big rock on Election Day, and unearthed a metric shit ton of ugly maggots.

It's pretty clear that many of these people feel entitled to something they weren't getting before. Something that they still feel strongly that Twitler is going to get for them despite all evidence to the contrary. What was it, exactly?

A more peaceful planet?
A more secure retirement?
A better job?
A better life for their kids?

No, I haven't listened to a bunch of Trump stump speeches, but other than saying HE'S a great businessman and really smart, did he actually promise anything to his voters other than a wall and locking up Hillary?

Potential Hamilton Electors slate

What about Romney/Cuban?

A legitimate Republican who's worked with Dems. And a legitimate billionaire. Supreme Court will still be a loss, but we have a more moderate (and Russian-free) administration.

Where is the support forum for the LA runoff?

538 is claiming that Kennedy wins but I'm wondering if anyone here has a different opinion? 51-49 is still possible, right?
