Political fatigue has set in

Just flipping through the news channels. They are all so freaking ridiculous. I think I can speak for many when I say I am just freaking tired of it all. Politics fatigue has set in and I find myself not giving a darn.

I turned it off the moment Trump won.

I knew Republicans would be insufferable to deal with, like Gamecocks winning over our Tigers. I catch stuff here and there when there is no way to really avoid it but I can't imagine actively searching out the hour long yelling at each other shows that Fox News and others embrace. I can sum up the next four years for you. It is still better than Hillary and Trump can't clean up the mess Obama left in just 4 years and if you don't like Trump, leave ya sore loser. Go Tigers.

I didn't turn the new on until election day.

At that time I had no idea what platform Trump was campaigning on or what was expected from him by his supporters. I'll giving the guy a chance because he says exactly what I feel this country needs.
I doubt he'll be able or intends to do everything he says but he sure beats the helll out of what we've had for 8 years.

Sorry brosuf, but I feel the exact opposite. The snowflakes and Libs are insane right now and they just can't grasp that Trump is the President. Its tiring and annoying. I am quitting for a while.

IMO, Trump is out politicking the politicians.

He gets down in the dirt by going straight to the public. Until people who supported Trump stop supporting him because of the tweets he will continue. I seriously doubt that will happen. At this point it looks like the only pigs squealing are those Trump has in a headlock, the media, the dems and the extreme left wing.
You can't deny they've pumped enough BS at Trump to deserve a good old fashioned public bashing after all Trump has endured and survived from them. America was sick of politicians and voted for a man who doesn't function like a politician, one who won't take chit or stand silent while the media and other oppositions snipe at him.
Twitter is Trump's weapon and he is developing a good aim. The obvious thing to do with a man like Trump is stop giving him ammo, stop taking cheap shots, use a little diplomacy when it comes to reporting instead of insults and lies.
IMO, it's just two pigs wrestling in a mudhole. Both are enjoying doing what they do best.

Trump will make that tough with all of his tweeting.

His poll numbers are dropping and he isn't even officially on the job yet.

Hillary win-95%.
This is just like it was during the pre-election. People don't want to tell the truth about supporting Trump because they're sick of being called racists.

The polls didn't say 95%. More like 80%.
It's bizarre how often we hear that "the polls were wrong" when the polls do nothing more than produce a likely--and explicitly uncertain--expectation.

It's not as if the pollsters are on a lucky streak or something. People don't want to publically admit they support Trump because they don't like to be called racist.
It's not as if there isn't a possible correlation between the pre-election and post election poll. BTW, had a talking head on TV not reported that the NYT predicted a probability of 95% Hillary win I wouldn't have said it. I resent.
