Final 2016 Daycare.com Presidential Poll

[mommyneedsadayoff]

I read something similar about how the fact that Trump always said "you, the American people, will make America great again", versus, "I, Hillary Clinton, will...." made a huge difference in how people looked at them. Ultimately, I didn't vote for Trump, but I am happy with the outcome.

One announcer mentioned how some voters went to the polls with the thought "do I really want more Obama years" and possibly changed their vote to Trump....the silent-voters helped Trump to win. They weren't going to vocalize that they voted for him but silently did so leading to a victory for him. This process brought back my HOPE for our country! Got large cup of coffee now to help me through the day from my sleepless night, though!

The major winner here was Trumps marketing strategy and we all know he is the best at marketing products. This time the product was the American President. Lots of people believed he will make things better and I don't blame them for thinking that and needing that but I can guarantee he won't do that.

I've heard many political analysts akin Trump to Andrew Jackson.....The only other presidential candidate who's own party did not support him.

He is often referred to as America's worst 'great' president.

I don't think anyone should make assumptions about what Trump can, can't, will or won't do...

A huge part of why he won was because Hillary and many of her followers severely underestimated him.

From a child care provider's perspective... I am happy for many reasons...

On my drive into work today, the local radio station was calling local border patrol offices and asking them how long the lines are for people exiting the US.

did they get an answer?

[Blackcat31]

did they get an answer?

Yes, every border patrol station they called while I was listening answered.

Some were amused, some probably didn't think it was funny at all and one said they had to schedule additional staff...just in case.

MN is normally a predominantly blue state but regardless of anyone's personal feelings most Minnesotan's still have the ability to find the humor in anything. We are very well known for MN Nice.

Partial birth abortion has been banned since 2008.

"The gruesome practice of partial-birth abortion has been illegal in this country for nine years–ever since the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the Federal Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act.

Sadly, Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton continues to stand by her vote against the law". :confused:

She has voted to uphold and legalize it.

I am conservative across most avenues, aside from same sex marriage, which I am for (so is Trump) Hillary voted against same sex marriage and in recent years changed her stance.

I am very pro-life, even anti death penalty. Life is sacred.

I am of course, happy with the election results. I am reminded of Reagan's election (or learning about it in school, it was prior to my birth :: ). I hope we can see the same prosperity we saw under 'Reaganomics', since Trump has similar tax views.

I stood in my polling cube last night for a good 10 minutes staring at those choices, changing my mind at least a dozen times before filling in that little circle.

sorry......I couldn't leave that one alone.

Bahaaa!!!::::

I am saddened by the number of high school-ers and college kids I know who were afraid to go to school today. The ones with the obnoxiously vocal parents whom have unwittingly made them targets.

Tires slashed, car doors keyed, lockers rifled and vandalized, fights, drinks being thrown at kids from moving cars in the parking lots, etc.

I've not heard of this locally.
Sorry your community is facing it.

My parents had a death threat spray painted onto their large trump sign in front of their house. "Die racist F****"

My mom is cuban.

Someone wore a trump hat to my dd's homeroom and he was attacked by three boys and had to be taken to the ER by ambulance.

Someone at our local college set a trash can on fire that spread in the cafeteria.

Insanity. I am so disheartened by the behavior and reactions to this election.

Reaganomics did nothing for me as a childcare provider in the 80s so I do not look forward to living that over.
And he supported making ketchup a vegetable in the f.p. as well as scrimping on portion sizes at the cost of nutritional requirements.
