ELECTION SURVEY----FEELINGS ABOUT OUTCOME

HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE OUTCOME OF THE MOST RECENT GENERAL  ELECTION?

Well pleased. (#15) Horrible. Insomnia, afraid for people's lives, afraid for progress on climate change, absolutely disgusted that so many people thought it was OK to validate his hateful words and actions. (#16) Horrified and scared. (#17)

Elated that we might finally be able to reduce pay-to-play politics, have a leader and a congress that might finally help reduce the deficit, and create an environment for growth, and a stronger middle class. (#18) Sad, concerned. (#19)

I am not a huge fan of Trump. I could not stand  Clinton, this after I, a moderate Republican voted for Obama. I am one of millions in her "Basket of Deplorables". Clinton was the darling of the media and liberal establishment. I know that Trump made this easy given his irrational  comments. But what troubles me most about the current liberal establishment and media, Is the arrogance and condescending nature it has toward others. This time, the little guy, said enough is enough, we want change and Clinton is just more of the same. Most of us were willing to take the gamble associated with Trump. So I feel good about the outcome of the election. I will note however I would feel better if the Democrats had won the U.S. Senate. I voted against Toomey and for McGinty.(#26)

Although happy Clinton did not win, I am worried about Donald Trump's  winning. The guy lacks moral character, degrades human beings, has been married three times and has gone bankrupt four times. Not exactly the type of guy you want leading our country. I can understand that people are concerned for our future. I do not know how Donald won. I think America is in a sad state but it takes someone like him to get people excited to vote. To make matters worse, I truly think if the Republican Party had a more qualified candidate  that Clinton would have won.(#27)

What I was expecting(#28) Still working through it.(#5) Severely Depressed.(#12) Feel very confident knowing we have a good chance of improving so many areas in our country.(#4) Heartsick(#20)
Determined to stay engaged and help turn this country green and socially responsible.(#2) Extremely sad. I feel like I entered the twilight zone.(#11)

Frustrated, very concerned, and angry.  Thoroughly frustrated and angered by our Electoral College system.  If our system treated the race for President, like every other race in which the victor is the one who receives the most votes, then Clinton would be President and there would be an entirely different outcome, dynamic, discussion, and prospects in this country.  As it is, I am very concerned about Trump with a Republican-controlled House and Senate.  I agree with all the criticisms about Trump: ignorant, misinformed, and uncurious about public affairs, temperamentally (and psychologically) unfit for the Presidency, and dangerously demagogic. In my opinion, there were some "bright spots" in terms of ballot initiatives.(#13)

Not good..(#21) Very unhappy.(#24) I was physically sickened and had to take deep breaths to calm down.(#10) Disgusted. Hate won. Divided we fall but how do we reconcile with that? I am seriously grieving for what I thought this country stood for. I am not happy that the popular vote will be overridden again.(#9)Terrible(#8) I don't like or understand it. Trump's character is seriously flawed, integrity wise, intellectually and knowledge.(#14) Surprised, discouraged. Trump won because he is an outsider, not a Washington type.(#24) Satisfied.(#29) Wait and see.(#30)

Somewhat resigned. The Republican Party has a campaign message from them by a faux  populist, while the Democratic Party resisted the take over by actual populist in Sanders. Unfortunately, the established Republican Party will most likely be the beneficiary of this. Two–four –eight years in the wilderness might enable progressives to reveal a popular party if it's addiction to oligarchy money can be broken.(#32)

Disappointed, scared.(#31) Grieved, scared, stunned.(#33) Terrible.(#34) Dreadful.(#37)
Shocking.(#38) Upset.(#39) Very proud  of America(#40) Okay(#41) Awesome. We did it! Sent a  message.(#42) Good. Lots of reps in the Senate, governor, etc.(#43) Positive, encouraged.(#44) Happy with it.(#45) Surprised, did not get support for Hillary.(#46) Overall happy.(#47) Fine.(#48) Just fine.(#49) It is what it is. People spoke, working people.(#50) Concerned–but rather conservative outcome as opposed to liberal.(#51)Not good. She won popular vote. People were angry. Would have voted for Bozo the clown.(#52) Change(#54)
Happy(#55) Disappointed(#56) Okay(#57) Fear.(#58)
Scared, nervous.(#59)Scared, disappointed. (#60)
Sad commentary on America.  (#61) Terrible (#62)

Not happy, Hope he changes, but so far he hasn't. He did do well in speaking to Obama.#64) Surprised with mixed feelings. Happy about Hillary's loss, not so happy about Trump's win.
(#65) Sad. (#66) Disappointed. (#67) Dismayed. (#68) Yippee, Yahoo. (#69) Sad, worry, (#70)
Great.(#71) Apprehensive. (#72) Scared. If they get an excuse like a terrorist attack, I fear they will try to take total power.(#73) Upheld my opinion that the US voter is not a deep thinker and that the electorate is not interested in facts.(#74)
All the more reason to remove Florida from our union.(#75) Surprised at first, then shocked, now have a need to find a way to be more active in protecting the basic rights of all.(#76) OK, but not excited. See what happens. Hope Congress can keep things in balance. (#77) Extremely disappointed. (#3)
