Finally! That was brutal. I was banned early in the day on Election Day. Congrats to all of you who were on the Trump Train early and often. I certainly was abandoned at Conventional Wisdom Crossing.
A few thoughts/observations:
I now believe the single biggest issue in the entire world is Islam. Europe did it wrong. Trump has a chance to do it right. I agree with Sam Harris that if Clinton had simply been honest after Orlando, she would have won (if 1 in 100 Trump voters had voted for her, she would have won.) Instead, she talked about gun control and then lectured Middle America on so-called Islamophobia.
I will admit to having greedily drunk the tears of all the snowflakes in the Javits Center on Election Night. It was truly beautiful watching the melt in real time.
I still think Trump is an incurious egomaniac, but there are bright spots...Rex Tillerson for starters.
I think there's a chance that the media will be out of gas even before the inauguration. Almost every single headline/story I read comes breathlessly and trying to make every last thing seem as extreme as possible. It's a pace that just can't be kept. Tillerson is another good example. Any attempt to make it seem as if Tillerson "doesn't have political experience" immediately branded the writer as an ignoramus.
I think Trump is going to face way more opposition from a supposedly friendly Congress than is being assumed. I am deeply skeptical that any sizable infrastructure bill will pass.
I thought the buried lede of Election Night was California legalizing marijuana. I'm interested to see where this goes, although I don't like some of Trump's picks on this topic.
Trump's victory was very narrow, so you should be careful to treat it as some landslide mandate. He proves how quickly things can change.

Any presidential election resulting in more than 300+ electoral votes is a landslide victory in my book

Why did they ban you?
I've disagreed with you quite a bit, but I think it's better to have a wider array of voices on here, so welcome back.

You are certainly welcome to believe that at your own peril.

I was suspended for several days on Election Night right before Trump reached 270 Electoral votes because I posted "Tic...Tic...Tic..." several times to represent time running out on the Dumacrats.
A few posters RA'd me because it bothered them soooo much.

You can see by my post history that my last post was way before the polls closed.

I consider it a landslide since everyone was predicting Loser Clinton was going to beat Trump in a landslide.

Trump has proven he doesn't need mandates. He just gets shite done and keeps on rolling forward. I didn't believe it at first, and he still has to follow through. However, He eats the political establishment for breakfast and shits out Jobs, budget reform, and lots more to come.
