    Yes it is as they have no choice. If they dont like Trump because he is white then thats racism but in this case they had no choice it was a white man or a white woman

    Well we know its not because he is white, because black folks have been voting for white men since what? 1966 or 1968.

    The left went bonkers when Reagan won, when Bush II won, but their reaction to Trump is a whole new level of ugly. Not only are they advancing "Trump's not a legit president", they're organizing protests, calling for boycotts, threatening & blacklisting entertainers, airing anti-Trump adds, inserting anti-Trump slurs into TV sitcoms, defending fake news,
    attacking Trump's wife & kids and essentially doing everything within their "anti-Trump coalition" to disrupt a peaceful transition & his presidency.
    Just today I read a couple op-ed's, one headlined "Ivanka Trump's Dangerous Fake Feminism" in the NYT, another headlined "Should designers dress Melania and Ivanka?" in the WP. There's not a thimbleful of common sense mutual respect displayed in either, but both exemplify how deeply resentful the anti-Trump are and the extremes they'll go to finding avenues to justify their rage.

    The left is proving conservatives right. The left doesn't want to work together with republicans and they're not Patriots.

    You are making my point. This dumbass didn't wait before he claimed Trump was illegitimate. Did you even read the OP?

    Donald Trump refused to say that he’d respect the results of this election.That’s a direct threat to our democracy.

    President Obama and the Democrats didn't want to work with Republicans. With their super majority, they felt they didn't need to.

    They're all partisan hacks.

    The reason the left lost the election is because they focus->obsess on civil rights and racial issues the(*)degree that they are blind to(*)other issues like economy, jobs, and simply making a living on a good paying job and feeling safe from crime.

    When Trump criticizes Lewis for failing to provide these things for his district, the left jumps in and says(*)'But he is a civil rights here!'.(*)Again the left doesn't get it. Again the left is focused on the wrong things and instead of defending lewis they divert the conversation(*)back to their obsession and ignore the basics of what Americans need today.

    In 2012 Lewis further besmirched his civil rights-era credibility by asking delegates at the Democratic National Convention “whether they want to go back to a society where blacks were beaten, presumably by voting for Mitt Romney,”

    And they wonder why the GOP and Trump swept the elections?

    Maybe that self-delusion is infectious. Justice Thomas has the same belief in his own ‘self-importance.’ What a horrible waste of a Supreme Court seat he turned out to be.

    When did Justice Thomas say that anyone who won any election of any kind was not legitimate? He said in October that the nation's capital is "broken", and not many of us, either Left or Right, would disagree with that: http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2016/10/26/clarence-thomas-supreme-court/92799602/

    But did Thomas declare that anybody was not legitimate? You may be thinking of someone else...?

    You guys are the ones saying he prefers to ignore that and identify as black only why should I assume he has something for his white heritage? What did his black heritage ever do for him his father abandoned him and he seems to have turned his back on all of them including his brother.

    Well it was rigged. Look at how Lying Crooked Hillary and her gang screwed Bernie in the primaries and how the crooks gave her the debate questions before the debates. Those things are a matter of historical record and can't be denied.

    Hillary got 5 million less votes than Obama did in 2012. Even before the eMails came out, 45% of Sanders supporters said the wouldn't vote for Hillary. Bernie got 13 million votes X 45% = 5.8 million votes. Looks like they meant it.

    Pssst . . . obviously you meant to say the OBAMA CONTROLLED intelligence agencies. It's sort of like how the DOJ (Department of Justice) focused pretty much exclusively on the things and issues of concern to the radical leftist nation-hating, race-agitating Commander-in-Chief Barack Obama for the last eight years. Different president means different focuses. Soon now Donald Trump will BE president and -- just like magic -- after he puts his foot on the necks of Obama's suborned intelligence drones, they will discover what is and is not both real and important or they will be looking for work. Obama did precisely the same thing when he became president, just like Bush did the same thing before him and Clinton did the same thing before him. All incoming presidents have to re-educate their . . . bureaucratic drones.
