I recall nearly identical posts from you in 2008 and 2012.

I don’t recall one in 2016.

Well, 2008 and 2012 was a pattern. Not so much 2016. So it makes sense to deviate in your thoughts in 2016. Trump was not just another politician. I think maybe we can all agree on that.

For my part I will poke fun at Trump incessantly until he concedes, and then only opportunistically after that.

For the most part I’m trying not to criticize his supporters directly. I’ve deleted several comments right after making them for that very reason. Yet I know it’s a goal I haven’t fully achieved.

Thanks for the self awareness.

Also, gloating is a hell of a lot more fun than being as mad as a hatter who's just discovered that all his hats have inexplicably shrunk in the wash.

Nothing wrong with poking fun at politicians, but I'd restrict it to those instances that are actually funny.

I for one thought that the Four Seasons fiasco was hilarious, although admittedly it distracted people from Rudy's eloquence and integrity.

The Four Seasons thing is hilarious! Have at it! I don't mind humor. It's the personal insults that are pissing me off.

Oh my God, is Trump planning on going out like Jim Jones? Somebody needs to stop him - and not just for the sake of Hope Hicks! There are at least 2-3 other people worth saving!

What if Trump never concede?
You have a contingency for that?

You just went from "hope is the last to die" to "mass suicide". Well, that's on you.

Yeah, but you can sit on its head and drown it.
