The GOP has it made right now. They're going to sit back and give Trump enough rope to hang himself, and then they get Pence as President, their obvious preference. It'll happen, just a matter of when it's politically expedient for them to do it.

And the Dems might want to leave it be until the next election so they could face Trump or Pence and win the White House.

A sentiment I've seen online a bit in the last few days is Trump voters admitting that things look to be going off the rails already, but that the blame with Trump getting elected lies not with those who voted for him, but for everyone else who was mean to Trump, or was politically correct, or had priorities other than white america or manufacturing jobs. Because those are the people responsible for creating this climate where so many people felt compelled to vote for Trump. Essentially 'you made me do it by telling me I shouldn't.' The abdication of responsibility there is staggering. At least the regret is coming swiftly, even if the blame is misplaced.

Donald J. Trump ‏@realDonaldTrump
.@CNN is in a total meltdown with their FAKE NEWS because their ratings are tanking since election and their credibility will soon be gone!

It's incredible to watch a president elect go out of his way to try bury a news channel. Pretty surreal.

Sorry no time for a link. He's also taking credit for Amazon creating 100k new jobs

As one of Amazon's postal slaves that really tees me off.

It's got nothing to do with you puddledink

Because, you know, a company plots it's expansion and hiring plans that involve 100,000 additional jobs in just a couple of weeks. That isn't something that takes months and months of careful analysis, modeling etc. It's not like in 2015 they opened more than 18 facilities in the US and were expected to continue to grow through 2016, 17, 18...... Nope. All Donald.

btw this was the employee number growth trend as of about a year ago...

A careful eye will notice that from Q1 2015 to Q1 2016 they added over a 100,000 employees. The bulk of those are going to be in the US market which is still 60+% of the business. Also note that these are full time and part time jobs.

He is completely obsessed with things he shouldn't be and avoiding things he should, unbelievable that anyone thinks he is capable of running a country.

Over the past few years the US Post Office has completely overhauled its business plan to accommodate Amazon.

We were on the road to abolishing Saturday mail delivery.

Now we still deliver 6 days a week and have added Sunday Amazon delivery.

Multiply that by all the POs in the US ; that's a lot of new employees due to Amazon .


Has nothing to do with the Florida Orange.

Unfortunately it also means tens of thousands of retail jobs lost as malls and stores close all over the US/world
