I guess rabid Trump supporters aren't the only ones who are, for all intents and purposes, functionally illiterate:

I expected more anger from the libs/dems. But maybe they're faint cause welfare checks don't come til the 15th, and most are still asleep.

Yes, because the party/ candidate you choose to support determines your literacy.

The people have been short-changed. I feel sorry for the voters in Alaska, Arizona, Michigan, Minnesota and New Hampshire.

They took the time to vote, but because mass media doesn't want the proper landslide victory to show, those 44 electoral votes remain undeclared (30 of which were in Trump's favor). Not that this would change the outcome, but it could be called "poor sportsmanship". In any major sporting event, does any person or team just stop because they know they have no chance? Is that a team you want to be a part of?

What about all the people in tears and disbelief at the Clinton rally? She didn't even come out and show any respect whatsoever. Is that a leader you want?

I really hope the rest of the country doesn't act as poorly. Have some class and get back to work!!

Yes. In baseball, it's call the bottom of the 9th.

Well when you can't even properly spell (or just don't know it) your candidates name it's pretty telling.

don't worry, Trump's acceptance speech was nice for them:

I’ve just received a call from Secretary Clinton. She congratulated us — it’s about us — on our victory, and I congratulated her and her family on a very, very hard-fought campaign. I mean, she — she fought very hard.

Hillary has worked very long and very hard over a long period of time, and we owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country.

I mean that very sincerely.

Now it’s time for America to bind the wounds of division; have to get together. To all Republicans and Democrats and independents across this nation, I say it is time for us to come together as one united people.

It’s time. I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be president for all Americans, and this is so important to me.

For those who have chosen not to support me in the past, of which there were a few people. . .I’m reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so that we can work together and unify our great country.

As I’ve said from the beginning, ours was not a campaign, but rather an incredible and great movement made up of millions of hard-working men and women who love their country and want a better, brighter future for themselves and for their families.

It’s a movement comprised of Americans from all races, religions, backgrounds and beliefs who want and expect our government to serve the people, and serve the people it will.

Working together, we will begin the urgent task of rebuilding our nation and renewing the American dream. I’ve spent my entire life and business looking at the untapped potential in projects and in people all over the world. That is now what I want to do for our country.
