I’m a democrat and will say that those guys were heroes. Don’t let one bad seed taint your perception.Super hopeful that he would give a concession speech and put the good of the country ahead of himself, but really doubt he has it in him.
He’s opened my eyes in one way. I had no idea what good hearted men that Bush, Bush, and McCain were until now. President Trump has certainly impacted my perception there.
It’s going to be very interesting to learn how many conservatives come to share your opinion. I don’t want to make any predictions about that; I’ve been wrong too often. We’ll just have to wait and see.I voted for him. I don’t like him but I stomached him - just not interested in what Democrats have to say in general type of thing. But that’s beside the point. Now that he has pretty clearly lost - I just want him to shut up, finish his term, and go away. I really do.
Have you thought about getting into the polling business?It’s going to be very interesting to learn how many conservatives come to share your opinion. I don’t want to make any predictions about that; I’ve been wrong too often. We’ll just have to wait and see.
I hated stats in college. Man did I hate that class.Have you thought about getting into the polling business?
Doesn't seem to matter.I hated stats in college. Man did I hate that class.
A lot more than you think I expect. He’s really an unlikeable person.It’s going to be very interesting to learn how many conservatives come to share your opinion. I don’t want to make any predictions about that; I’ve been wrong too often. We’ll just have to wait and see.
No way he could match Trump’s broad appeal.Tom Cotton scares me because he appears to share all of Donald Trump’s nationalist views, yet he is serious and very competent.
I've seen clips from the Bush and McCain concession speeches circulating on Twitter, but I haven't seen Romney's. Was there something wrong with his, or is he unfairly getting left out of all the fun?I had no idea what good hearted men that Bush, Bush, and McCain were until now.
I’ve never doubted Romney’s integrity. I’ve always been convinced he’s a good man with good intentions for every American.I've seen clips from the Bush and McCain concession speeches circulating on Twitter, but I haven't seen Romney's.

I agree. I'm sure his concession speech was excellent. Somebody needs to make a clip and add it to the mix.I’ve never doubted Romney’s integrity. I’ve always been convinced he’s a good man with good intentions for every American.
Same here, but as I look back, it’s amazing how much more interesting my professor could have made it. All numbers, no context. Totes boring.I hated stats in college. Man did I hate that class.
That’s too bad. My favorite class to teach is AP Stats. It’s all about learning how to have a finely tuned BS detector. I highly recommend looking into the 1 credit class from the University of Washington called “Calling Bull####”. The entire course is available for free on YouTube.I hated stats in college. Man did I hate that class.

I'm really not sure why she rolled over so easily. I thought that race was close enough where she should have had a recount.Excerpts from Hillary Clinton’s concession speech: https://youtu.be/-yHgE9W699w
Totally agree. He has only himself to blame for losing. I love most of his vision for the country but despise him as a person. He is one of the biggest a holes ever.I voted for him. I don’t like him but I stomached him - just not interested in what Democrats have to say in general type of thing. But that’s beside the point. Now that he has pretty clearly lost - I just want him to shut up, finish his term, and go away. I really do.
He’s never struck me that way at all. He always struck me as an in-your-face with it person.Trump has struck me as a "wolf in sheep's clothing" type. He says one thing, but his actions belie his words, and can, to borrow a phrase from my faith, deceive the unwary.
Cotton vs Mayor Pete in 2024. Battle of ex-McKinsey guys.Tom Cotton scares me because he appears to share all of Donald Trump’s nationalist views, yet he is serious and very competent.
This is my concern too. Not only is he competent but regular people don't know him and therefore don't hate him so there won't be a fraction of the pushback.Tom Cotton scares me because he appears to share all of Donald Trump’s nationalist views, yet he is serious and very competent.
I don’t feel any need to heap praise on these former candidates just for acting like normal human beings. Their concession speeches were totally normal and expected behavior for a public servant in our country. The media has completely failed us over the past 4 years by normalizing Trump’s obvious derangement. I know there are a few fringe exceptions, but the great majority of reporting on this man has been cowardly. He came to my city last year and ranted about how toilets flush for several minutes. Every reporter should have called out his insanity, which has always been a significant national risk. I read the NPR story the next day and there was no mention of it. There are hundreds if not thousands of similar examples of this during his term. The media simply accepted the fact we have a psychotic maniac as our president and normalized it.Super hopeful that he would give a concession speech and put the good of the country ahead of himself, but really doubt he has it in him.
He’s opened my eyes in one way. I had no idea what good hearted men that Bush, Bush, and McCain were until now. President Trump has certainly impacted my perception there.
In fairness, I could be wrong about him, but his lying, especially the other evening, made me think that he is either disconnected from reality, or forcibly driving a false narrative.He’s never struck me that way at all. He always struck me as an in-your-face with it person.
I hear you.I voted for him. I don’t like him but I stomached him - just not interested in what Democrats have to say in general type of thing. But that’s beside the point. Now that he has pretty clearly lost - I just want him to shut up, finish his term, and go away. I really do.
Those are the party politic types, and each side has them. I’d consider them the true “middle” where if you talk just policy the common ground between each side is highlighted and the bridge visible. How to prevent the retraction to “sides” once a specific capitalized letter is then introduced, I have no ideaSuppose I don’t get the people who vote for him but then don’t like it when Trump acts like Trump.
Lots of people love power. And access to power.I think an underappreciated fact about the Trump era is that people who genuinely personally dislike him were a key part of his coalition.
I heard from a few people as the November election approached.....you don't have to like him to vote for him. Another one I heard...a candidate doesn't have to have good character to vote for them.I think an underappreciated fact about the Trump era is that people who genuinely personally dislike him were a key part of his coalition.
In a year, the COVID crisis will be over and the economy will start booming.You may have not liked him, but you will be rethinking this in 1 year.
Very Trump sounding. There's already new COVID strain out of Denmark. I have been on record sayin i don't agree with Trump's handling of COVID. In my opinion It's coming back this winter and the economy will suffer.In a year, the COVID crisis will be over and the economy will start booming.
No offense, but I can 100% guarantee I will not be. In fact, the fact that I won't be thinking about it at all is a big reason why I'm so content and relieved right now.You may have not liked him, but you will be rethinking this in 1 year.
You voted Biden because you hate Trump, not because you love Biden. Trump voters loved Trump. Food for thought.No offense, but I can 100% guarantee I will not be. In fact, the fact that I won't be thinking about it at all is a big reason why I'm so content and relieved right now.
Yep.You voted Biden because you hate Trump, not because you love Biden. Trump voters loved Trump. Food for thought.
I voted Trump in '16 but I wasn't all that pumped about it. I liked that he wasn't a career politician who got wealthy in office. I figured he'd do well with the economy. I actually kinda liked his ##### ways for a bit after 8 years of Obama who was afraid to piss anyone off, and always seemed like weak sauce to me..You voted Biden because you hate Trump, not because you love Biden. Trump voters loved Trump. Food for thought.
He’s on my radar as someone Donald could anoint to carry the maga bannerTom Cotton scares me because he appears to share all of Donald Trump’s nationalist views, yet he is serious and very competent.
Here we go. Here's all of them.I’ve never doubted Romney’s integrity. I’ve always been convinced he’s a good man with good intentions for every American.I've seen clips from the Bush and McCain concession speeches circulating on Twitter, but I haven't seen Romney's. Was there something wrong with his, or is he unfairly getting left out of all the fun?
I don't vote for a candidate because of love for the candidate. I vote for a candidate because of love for my country. Donald Trump caused so much harm, so much pain. I don't know if Biden can actually get things going, and if he fails, I won't let him off the hook. However, we know what Trump would do, and I will not stand by if I can help change that.You voted Biden because you hate Trump, not because you love Biden. Trump voters loved Trump. Food for thought.
Coming back? The U.S. is setting new records daily.I have been on record sayin i don't agree with Trump's handling of COVID. In my opinion It's coming back this winter and the economy will suffer.
Not a chance.You may have not liked him, but you will be rethinking this in 1 year.
They’re not mutually exclusive. Both can be true.Suppose I don’t get the people who vote for him but then don’t like it when Trump acts like Trump.
While this is correct, it's a small consolation whenever Trump railed against the media for something wrong he did, made a decision that clearly benefited only him or a business he had been involved with, or when he goes golfing instead of doing actual work.They’re not mutually exclusive. Both can be true.
