If you want to keeping marching to the center every time, you're more than welcome to have 2016 repeat itself over and over again.

I still want to hear from our resident libertarian Trump supporters about those federal employee gag orders...
I know it's a complex issue that involves a bit of ideological bending, but I'm just curious.
I'm not naive enough to think there is only one reason Trump won, but in my view Hillary lost that campaign the minute she decided the best counter to "Make America Great Again" was "America is already great!" The economy as a whole has rebounded, but many, many voters in swing states haven't seen the benefits of that. Income inequality is part of that, the loss of manufacturing jobs to automation is another. And she's extolling the virtues of how great America is. Is that what those voters wanted to hear? It was all they got to hear, in many cases she didn't even bother to campaign in those areas.
Democrats need to recalibrate here in the worst way, and instead all I'm seeing is "Hillary ran a great campaign and nothing could be done to defeat Trump." Which is fucking insane.
From a significant portion of the pundit class, for one. Daou, Marcotte, Eichenwald, Doyle, etc. Primarily in response to legitimate criticisms of Clinton from the left. That's where the whole "Bernie bro" thing started, if you remember.

I hear rents are super cheap in Calgary right now. Now's a good time for Americans to move north and start to diversify that poor city's economy.

Who are you referring to? Semi-myself? digitize? Or those folks who irrationally claim to be libertarian on economics but conservative on social issues, entirely defeating the purpose of what a libertarian is?
You should look at Prince Edward Island if you want to live somewhere beautiful and extraordinarily cheap. Sure there are like 87 feet of snow there in winter, but the summer is amazing.
Several months ago few friends discussed their idea that Trump was playing with the press. I was having difficulty understanding why Trump would make some uncalled remark or tweet some wild remark at four in the morning.
On election day I was not convinced he was going to win. Since then I am convinced it is part of the reason he won and he going to keep at.
Trump is playing a master game of chess with the press and many of his loud detractors. It is going to be fun to watch this match. Here are parts I selected from the USA Today opinion piece. It is worth reading in its entirety.
Quotes:
In fact, Trump’s basically gaslighting them. Knowing how much they hate him, he’s constantly provoking them to go over the top. Sean Spicer’s crowd-size remarks on Saturday were all about making them seem petty and negative. (And, possibly, teeing up crowd size comparisons at this Friday’s March For Life, which the press normally ignores but which Trump will probably force them to cover).
They’re taking the bait because they think he’s dumb, and impulsive, and lacking self-control — but he’s the one causing them to act in ways that are dumb and impulsive, and demonstrate lack of self-control. As Richard Fernandez writes on Facebook, they think he’s dumb because they think he has lousy taste…
If the news media actually focused on reporting facts accurately and straightforwardly, on leaving opinion to the pundits, and on giving Trump a clearly fair shake, then Trump’s tactics wouldn’t work, and any actual dirt they found on him would do actual damage. He’s betting on the press being insufficiently mature and self-controlled to manage that. So far, his bet is paying off.
And as long as the press is mindlessly partisan and bereft of self-discipline, capitalizing on that is just good politics.

I think everyone agrees he has been trying to delegitimize the free press so that the only "truth" remaining for the people who choose they will believe Trump no matter what crazy shit he spews is "Trump's Truth™" aka "Alternative Facts".Trump is playing a master game of chess with the press and many of his loud detractors.
