This sounds like it would be enjoyable to watch, although I doubt thats the reaction the author wants.

I remember that day. I was on tenterhooks all day long, until about 10 pm Pacific time. Then, light shone for the first time in 8 long years, into the darkness of our country.

The snowflake overreactions almost make me wish that Trump was the exact fascist and threat to their existence they think he is.

i remember that day as well..i was sick to my stomach all day fearing for my country...and just as i have every presidential election since 2004, i was here on Free Republic following the election results- no TV was on in my office or room...then, around 1:30 in the morning EST, Freepers started posting:

“WISCONSIN!!”
“WISCONSIN!!”
“WISCONSIN!!”
“WE WON WISCONSIN!!”

i then knew it was in the bag...

I never doubted for one moment that President Trump would win the election. We sell at fairs in five different states and the outpouring of support for Trump was HUGH! BIGLY! And yeah I go and watch the election night videos for laughs and hoots as well as the snowflake collections.... I love the one where the young lass is screaming into her iphone that someone has to fix this Sh## right now!... Ha! I have had canddiates win and loose over the years and you know....for the most part Presidents really don’t change the way I live. I just get on with my life. But I REALLY enjoyed the TRUMP victory....My thought was if he spent his time eating two scoops of ice cream everyday in the oval office....we would still be better off.

American Horror Story kinda did that in the first episode. The Hillary supporters were sobbing and swearing while the Trump supporter tried to hump his big screen TV...

Troubling.

How about wishing he'll be a great president for America?

When they call Florida, I was sure we had it. When they wouldn’t call Georgia, I knew..

“I never doubted for one moment that President Trump would win the election.”

I knew Trump would win, too — assuming that “their” cheating wouldn’t be enough to turn the tide toward PIAPS. And it wasn’t. Thank God.

Hubby and I went out to dinner that night with my sister and BIL, then went back to our place to watch the returns. Sister got ill thinking the outcome could be really bad and they had to go home. Then, 1 a.m.-ish, phones started ringing among us siblings - celebrating.

Which America? Ours or theirs? Don’t think for a second that the two visions of the future are compatible.

>>Yes, it’s hard to imagine wanting to watch 11/8/16 today.

Speak for yourself butthurt butthead.

YOUR agenda got thumbs downed by the people of America from coast to coast. Hell no.

re #7 Youtube compilation of Top Media Election Night Meltdowns

I suppose I'm in the minority, there's so much hate from those "news" people that it's hard for me to watch. These are people who really, really hate the country.

>>Also tearful — and prayerful — are immigrants’ right activists in San Jose, especially a couple that expects to be split up under a President Trump

How many times did they vote that day?
