it's going to be infuriating to watch democrats bend over backwards to work with the trump admin "for the good of the country" after the GOP did nothing but obstruct obama for 8 years. at the very least conservatives should be able to admit to themselves now that the GOP obstructionism of the last 8 years was driven largely by racist sentiment, the same sentiment that culminated in a trump presidency

PRIMARIES are real things. we can use them for 2018.

IMO, that's a terrifying precedent to set. This is our system. Our candidate lost fair and square. Urging a subversion of the process for what we believe to be the right result is not healthy.

Um, so we'd have President Pence?

No thanks, I'll stick with Trump, believe it or not. At least until I know what he's going to do. There's a very real chance that the GOP fucks this up.

“I just had the opportunity to have an excellent conversation with President-elect Trump,” Obama said. “It was wide-ranging. We talked about some of the organizational issues in setting up the White House, we talked about foreign policy, we talked about domestic policy. And as I said last night, my number one priority in the coming two months is to facilitate a transition that ensures the president-elect is successful.”

Obama went on: “I believe that it is important to all of us, regardless of party and regardless of political preferences, to now come together, now work together, to deal with the many challenges that we face.”

Trump spoke next, and took a respectful tone toward Obama — “I have great respect,” he said. He said that their meeting was supposed to be brief, but, it “lasted for almost an hour and a half, and as far as I’m concerned it could have gone on for a lot longer.”

“We discussed a lot of different situations, some wonderful and some difficulties,” Trump continued. “I very much look forward to dealing with the president in the future, including counsel, to explain some of the difficulties, some of the high-flying assets, and some of the really great things that have been achieved.”
