    The Official Paracast Political Thread! — Part Two

    Of course his more likely choice steven mnuchin (formerly of Goldman Sachs) should also have alt right feeling cheated. If Hillary had chosen either Breitbart would be all over this like flies on s*** regardless of credentials.

    Trump's people considering Jaime Dimon for Treasury Secretary. If this goes through Jaime will probably buy a condo near Cap Hill to save himself the commute. Jaime's spent more time there than the Janitors have. If Trump does want to drain the swamp this is a pretty inauspicious start...

    Listening to Mitch McConnell yesterday it sounded like other than doing away with Obamacare anything that Trump promoted or ran on will not be a slam dunk despite the Republican majority but I'm not sure in what context he meant that, ie. whether the size of their majority isn't especially...

    Here's another possible element similar to the silent majority talking point that I forgot about. It was brought up a few weeks ago on a program I listen to and have heard it mentioned several times today. Obviously it wasn't about skin color but people just lying as opposed to keeping quiet...

    Welcome aboard CuCullen, have you been filled in on our initiation procedures? If not don't buy into that anal probe thing, I did and boy did I feel like a fool when I found out they were yanking my chain.

    But it's not really all that irrelevant. Hillary did have history against her in this bid so, in a historic sense her loss shouldn't be too surprising. If Trump had won in a landslide I'd say yeah that's a ringing endorsement and the people decided but if he does lose the popular vote and...

    @Gene Steinberg So what if anything do you make of Joe Arpaio's loss in light of a Trump victory?

    And I'm going to pay more attention to that USC Dornsif/ LA Times poll in the future.

    It's going to be interesting over the next few days to hear all the analyzing about their demographics and the direction they went in. last night we heard everybody mention about how the silent majority (those that would vote for Trump but didn't want to admit it) and the millennials not...

    Jeff said: The ONLY reason that the market looks as it does right now is very simple. A bunch of adolescent, party throwing, and thoroughly irresponsible teenage world banking cheese eaters are standing there hushed, with their half empty party accoutrements in hand. The front door is flung wide...

    Not a bad speech said right things especially to an nervous world and market (We'll play nice and fair). As he was saying this I can recall with clarity the day in June 2015 when he came down that escalator with the paid crowd cheering him on and never thought he could pull it off or even if he...

    And what of Paul Ryan? The environment is ripe for the Republican Party to further it's case but will he be part of it ?

    I did't think I could have been ready for a Trump presidency but if Rudy Giuliani (especially) and Chris Christie are included in any higher appointments that's going to be a tough nut to swallow for me.

    Podesta keeping the faith. They have to clear out the Javits center for the NAB convention. It's a good thing there wasn't a balloon drop I don't think they would be able to clear the center out in time.

    In as much as it could be the silent majority that was the factor here I wonder how much it was the non appearance of the millennials. Has anyone heard what their numbers were?

    Something I'm hearing that is pleasing to my ears is that because Trump is naïve policy wise there could be a stoppage to the creeping growth of executive power but I'm not so sure . He does have a strong demagoguery bent and I can see him reaching out to the American people if the House and...
