• The University of Kansas reminded its stressed-out kids that therapy dogs, a regular campus feature, were available.
• Cornell University, an Ivy League school, held a campus-wide “cry-in,” with officials handing out tissues and hot chocolate.
• Tufts University offered its devastated students arts and crafts sessions. (OK, not kindergarten — more like summer camp.)
• At campuses from elite Yale to Connecticut to Iowa and beyond, professors canceled classes and/or exams — either because students asked or because instructors were too distraught to teach.

Now we need to submit and secure national voter ID laws. In addition to rolling back 'bracks "America" we need to secure the future. I firmly believe that with strong voter ID laws to ensure only American Citizens can vote once, we will level the playing field between liberal cesspools like Philly and the rest of America.
In August, Donald felt the same and I'm sure that relying on their cheating "machine" was a key factor in their overconfidence. Trump was Right! but still won. What else do we need to do to shut down the cheat machine and ensure fair future elections?

Voter integrity should be a big priority.

I completely agree this is the long range answer that will break the back of the Democrat shift to a special interest dominated voter base.
So long as we don't delude ourselves into believing blacks are going to come out and vote for a white Republican when the Dem's run a black man for the seat. Color trumps everything with this voting demo.

Yep. A large percentage of the country already has drivers licenses, passports, or state issued IDs. I don't know what it would cost the government to subsidize state issued photo IDs for the rest of the population, but whatever it is it's worth it. Unless I'm wrong that's how the left usually fights voter ID laws in court and it would take it off the table. Even if it costs a few hundred million it's worth it to protect the integrity of elections.
If they do it now states (and voters) will have a bit under four years to make it happen. That's more than enough time.

It is desperately needed, but will be hard to get into law and passed Constitutional challenges, even if it has public support.
Americans love to cheat, especially when they can get away with it. It is the national pastime. Everyone admires the fellow who does it. There is a deeply embedded trait in our DNA, "you can't make me!"
Moreover, there are two deeply troubling auras, the voter registration abuses of the old South, and the Nazi "give me your papers, please" more recently that causes many to resist any rational effective plan of voter ID.
Add to this our suspicion of any kind of Federal registration requirements, and getting support of a given program is daunting.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Some will always vote that way but I am equally sure a large number of intelligent, thinking, and practical black Americans will come to the obvious conclusion should the next 3-4 years prove what we know to be true regarding economic and domestic policy/philosophy. Many people just don't know better because they haven't seen better. Let's show them over the next 4 years and I believe a larger than expected shift could occur. Saying that black people will always vote for a black candidate versus a white one no matter the policy stance woukd indeed be racist and I don't believe all black peopled are racist anymore than all white people are. They just have to be shown that there IS a better way that works. So let's get down to that business.

Thanks for that oddball. A guy at work said the same stupid things about voter ID being racist. I told him that's wrong and prove it....... silence.

Throughout this great victory I keep letting one thing slip my mind: the fact that Trump has NEVER held elected office. This is one of my favorite things about his election to the Office Of President. Granted he is a billionaire, but it does lend a little more credence to the stories I was taught as a child about how any American can grow up to be President; for many years that seemed impossible. My faith has been restored that it does not always have to be a carreer politician.

Oddball thank you for that, had not seen but it illustrates that in the world of today, now may very well be a receptive time to overcome those "old" shadows do the right thing. Even if we used our state level majority to enact state level laws that would be a key step in the right direction.

There are now thousands of "analysts" in "shock" trying to understand "what went wrong???... how on Earth could Hillary have lost to Trump???" ... they wonder.
I'll make it really easy for them:
On one hand, we had Hillary Clinton: a completely corrupt globalist POS (Wikileaks proved what a piece of "human" garbage she is).
On the other hand is Donald J. Trump ... an almost God-like person, a true man of the people, a man who strongly connects to blue collar workers, a man who detests elites and all phony people, a man who is not owned by anyone, a man with an I.Q. of 162, a man who is always 3 - 5 moves ahead of his enemies. Further, Trump is sensitive & actually cares about people (yes... he does) and yet at the same time he's a super strong Alpha-male, he's a commanding towering figure of a man, he's a 16 hour/day workaholic, he's a true patriot, and last but not least, Donald J. Trump is a true defender of the Greater Western World.

That would be amazing to be able to say that I have served on that ship. Unfortunately I would be too old to reenlist to do so. It would follow with other notable ships I've served on being the USS Enterprise and the the USS Ronald Reagan (Plankowner).
