The world was gloomy before I won - there was no hope. Now the market is up nearly 10% and Christmas spending is over a trillion dollars!

"Now the market is up nearly 10% "

Comrade Casino is a Compleat Republicon. He fully embodies and displays their twisted "values," and he will serve as the Republican "role model" for generations of Republican children to come.

If this happened due to Trump, then it will continue and they will never have rationalization to blame Obama for anything that happens after this.

WILL do this every time and get away with it. He will blame EVERY bad thing on Obama, and claim 100% credit for every good thing. The press will not call him on it, the RW sites will parrot it, and 100 million mouth-breathing bible banging, racist todgers and their spawn will believe it.

Lots of the UK pro-Brexit crowd are saying 'Look everything's fine'. Yes but the UK hasn't left the EU yet! It's the same with Trump. Wait until he's in the oval office and the sh*t starts hitting the fan before saying 'Everything's good'.

but I cannot keep that streak alive....the only reason I can find at all in my soul to NOT wish for the death of Trump via an exploding heart is the realization that Pence is only a slightly less outwardly insane alternative.

1) He wants to steal the meme mojo of "Thanks, Obama"; and...
2) He doesn't understand that the whole "Thanks, Obama" thing was actually mocking right wingers; and...
3) He's thanking himself.
