The evil part of me hopes Trump takes revenge on the Republicans who didn't support him.  I'm sure I'll be over these ugly thought in a day or two.

He will. He never forgets. Democrats in Congress must now begin exploiting his emotional vulnerabilities.

Oh he definitely will. I mean he is a petty child after all

Getting really irritated with people at work. I had to down play my Hillary support.

I know, this is so hard. I thought I was too cynical to cry over an election, but I found myself doing just that this afternoon.

Do u all think had Bernie been nominee he would have won

I cried this morning, like the ugly cry in the movies, especially as I was holding onto the counter and coughing at the same time. 

 

I saw a colleague in the hallway earlier who was walking out the teacher's lounge. She looked so upset. We exchanged knowingly glances before I caught up to her to chat briefly. She said, "I thought of you last night." And then, she went on to say she wished she had stayed out of the lounge because they were putting down Hillary. This is ILLINOIS!!!! 45 minutes south of Chicago.

Nope, he just wasn't a strong candidate overall.

Ugh, and I hope I'm wrong but I imagine it's going to be awhile before a woman gets another shot at the top of he ticket.

To answer your question, I came across this which seems to be the prevailing sentiment going round on social media. Also keep in mind that Hillary won the Popular Vote.

 

 

I love Bernie, but you're [!@#$%^&*] kidding yourself if you think this [!@#$%^&*] racist rightwing country would've voted for a Jewish socialist

I am also in Illinois, in Chicago, and my entire office team is devastated. Absolutely enraged this happened. We all voted, make no mistake. We all took it way too seriously to be passive.

I wish my coworkers were as devastated as me. Misery does love company. I only know of one who was upset and another who was disappointed. You'd think there'd be more.

I find myself thinking of the worse case scenario if Trump retaliates against his political opponents 

Glad that people are out protesting and denouncing this monster. I hope it continues to all through his reign of terror.

Hillary's concession speech and President Obama acknowledging the win today made me cry. I was crying with a runny nose and everything. The first black POTUS will be followed by a candidate endorsed by a KKK.
