It's been an incredible journey and frankly it's amazing he managed to cross the finish line. What a winner!
I'm excited about the future of my country. OPTIMISM! No more self loathing and defeatism. Time to rekindle the American dream.

Trump's victory speech was gracious and I hope Americans rally behind him. I intend this to be a general comment: once a candidate wins the presidency, I think it right for Americans to offer best wishes and as much support that they can, given their political views.
I get that you think that sometimes bipartisanism is needed, but this man's views seem so deeply offensive and dangerous to the rest of the modern world that trying to be "balanced" is actually just making holding those views seem acceptable.
There were at least two major issues that could have made significant progress if Obama had tread a more middle of the road path in his first term. Gun Violence and Police Brutality. Thats saying nothing of the immigration crisis going on with minors fleeing south America en mass.
Later in his tenure I see a different Obama who just looks to be just as disenfranchised with the political system of America as the American people and I hope the lesson everyone can take away is the first priority of any ruling party should be to build bridges to the opposition, not ram through their policy's. If that is the case it is the job of the opposition to facilitate finding and pursuing common ground not just opposing everything, if you oppose everything you will just harden the differences and places where people do agree will be ignored for the sake of signaling
There's no future for America now. It's going to squander everything it's earned in the last 240 years inside of two.
Way to hand China the keys to the world.
