You can tell who Fibs idolizes here based on his likes. I bet he was just chomping at the bit to log in here to soak up the conservatism that deep down he knows is the correct path for our country. Denial can be so detrimental to your psyche.
Here is a handy chart to help you out. Direct your attention to the bottom right corner. Perhaps this will help explain your completely unhinged and skewered world view.

It's going to be fun to just point to successes as they happen, as opposed to liberals, who have to try and contort failure after failure into something else.
Like all other president-elects in the modern era, Donald Trump has enjoyed a surge in popularity since winning the White House. But if you surge up a mile from the bottom of the deep sea, you’ll still find yourself underwater. And after securing the honor of “least popular major-party nominee in recorded history,” Trump now lays claim to the title of least popular president-elect in modern memory.
Recent polls from YouGov and Morning Consult have put Trump’s approval rating in the mid-40s. At around this point in 2008, Gallup put Obama’s favorable rating at 68 percent; that figure was 59 percent for George W. Bush in mid-December 2000, and 58 percent for Bill Clinton in November 1992.
And when voters are asked to judge Trump’s performance as president-elect, he gets even worse marks. A new Pew poll finds that only 40 percent of Americans approve of Trump’s cabinet choices, while just 41 percent approve of the job he’s done so far in detailing his policies and plans for the future. As you can see from this graphic, both those figures are historically low.
What’s more, 38 percent of Americans expect Trump to make a poor or terrible president — 3 percent more than those who believe he will be a good or great one (18 percent think he will be just average).
A majority of Americans (54 percent) also say that their president-elect has “done too little” to distance himself from “white nationalist groups.” And nearly everyone in America — Democrat or Republican — thinks Trump needs to think more before he tweets: 82 percent of the public says Trump “will need to be more cautious about the kinds of things he says and tweets” once he takes office.
Separately, Pew’s survey suggests that liberals have one thing to thank Trump for — the president-elect has dramatically raised awareness about the level of bigotry that Muslims and African-Americans face in the United States.
In 2013, 45 percent of Americans told Pew there was “a lot” of discrimination against Muslims in America, while 22 percent said the same about African-Americans — today, those figures are 57 and 41 percent respectively.
So, a majority of America sees its president-elect as a reckless loudmouth who is soft on white nationalism, running a historically bad transition, and likely to have a presidency that’s average at best, and terrible at worst.
If only America were a democracy.
More polls! Too funny!
Okay, let's start with pointing to this wonderful accomplishment right out of the gate.
Trump Is the Least Popular President-elect in Modern American History
http://nymag.com/daily/intelligence...opular-president-elect-in-modern-history.html
On election night, Donald Trump presumably won 306 electoral votes — 36 more than needed to become president-elect. But he’s not officially president until those presumed electoral votes become official ones, a step that is likely to take place when the Electoral College meets December 19.
But there’s no guarantee.
Some state parties make electors take a moral pledge to vote for the candidate who won the popular vote there. Electors aren’t legally prohibited from casting their ballot for another candidate, however.
So far, just one Republican elector — Chris Suprun of Texas — has announced he won’t support Trump. Thirty-five more Republican electors must decide to follow Suprun’s lead between now and next Monday for Trump to be rejected, in which case the decision over who becomes president will be sent to the GOP-controlled House of Representatives.
One reason Electoral College members are turning against Trump: Faith
“As a person of faith…I can choose a good candidate, or even a great candidate.”
But Larry Lessig — an anti-Trump Harvard University constitutional law professor and co-founder of “Electors Trust,” which provides “free and strictly confidential legal support to any elector who wishes to vote their conscience” — says at least 20, and perhaps as many as 30, Republican electors are considering rejecting Trump.
Citing “three groups that I know of working with /supporting electors,” Lessig told ThinkProgress in an email that his figure is “based on my confidence in the reports from these three groups.”
During an MSNBC interview with Chuck Todd on Tuesday, Lessig said the goal he shares with groups like Hamilton Electors is to persuade at least 40 Republican electors to say they’re considering dumping Trump.
“Of course if they don’t get to 37 I doubt any of them beyond [Suprun] is going to vote against Donald Trump,” he said. “But if the number gets to 40, or around 40, I think you’re going to see a very interesting dynamic as they see there’s a reason for them to exercise the vote of conscience which I think they’re all struggling with right now.”
Lessig explained why he thinks electors who break their pledge to support Trump and vote for somebody else might actually be doing just what the Founding Fathers intended.
“One they take the pledge, they must vote that way — unless there’s an overriding moral reason not to vote that way,” he said. “Reasons like the threat of foreign government involvement in our election — or a candidate who refuses to live up to the foreign bribery clause by disassociating himself or divesting himself from assets that could be affected by foreign governments — raise exactly that reason.”
You guys should take a poll.Not saying it's gonna happen, but still remarkable it's even being discussed.
He does ok. I suspect he's slightly more secure in himself than you.Look at those tiny hands, oof. No wonder he has Napoleon complex.

If 37 GOP electors break with Trump, he might not become president.
The line on the right side of Skews Conservative is in perfect position. Everything to the left is fake news, everything to the right including most of Fox is fact.
What you WANT to believe has nothing to do with fact or fiction.
Thank you IndySteel. I also wish you - and your tormented soul - a Merry Christmas. I know it gets hot down there, where you reside, but hopefully you'll find something to soothe the pain.Merry Christmas, Tibtard.
What I KNOW is fact. Trump is the most powerful man in the world right now. You libtards are so distressed about it that you believe fake news from everyone to the left of that line just for the meager hope that it will keep you from slitting your wrists. Good luck with that.

The clock is ticking. We have until Dec. 19 to act. And the future of the country — indeed, the world — depends on it.
That’s the day the Electoral College votes and makes Donald Trump’s status as president-elect official. The electors have a duty to refuse to seat Trump — quite simply, on the grounds that he is a dangerous fascist, and it is unacceptable for a fascist to become the president of the United States.

What they're doing now is reprehensible in trying to undermine the president elect. You don't see kind of crap coming from the republicans or libertarians.
What in the hell are you talking about?
Trump said before the election he might not accept the results if Hillary won, and has since said he could have won California if not for millions of illegals voting (more fake news).
