Cela dit, ces derniers jours ont bouleversé tous les codes de la politique classique : de l’élection du candidat donné par tous largement perdant au bouleversement par ce dernier du protocole (les journalistes notamment ont été mis à l’écart.

Alors, une pétition a été lancée pour inciter les grands électeurs à suivre le vote populaire (qui donne Hillary gagnante). Elle a déjà réuni près de 2,5 millions de signatures (voir : https://www.change.org/p/electoral-college-electors-electoral-college-make-hillary-clinton-president-on-december-19?recruiter=628696022&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=share_page&utm_term=mob-xs-no_src-no_msg)

Hillary président, avec les deux chambres dominées par les républicains… cela ressemblerait à une petite révolution saupoudrée de cohabitation…

The hallmark of democracy is the peaceful transition of power. Today’s meeting between President Obama and president-elect Donald J. Trump reminds us that for 240 years we have respected the will of the people and each outgoing administration has cooperated with the next to transition our government. This has been a truly divisive election and Americans on all sides are speaking out for the chance everyone should have to improve their lives. We need to do better to ensure that every child gets a great education, every adult has the opportunity to support their families, and that we embrace each other to get there. America is a melting pot where women, men, and people of all races, backgrounds, religions and political views build the future together.

This was a historic election for women. For the first time in our country’s history, a woman was the nominee of a major party, and over 59 million Americans voted to put Hillary Clinton in the highest office in the land. Even though we fell short, that should make us all proud. There are now more women in the U.S. Senate than ever before. Nevada elected our country’s first-ever Latina senator, Catherine Cortez Masto. Illinois’ Tammy Duckworth will be the first Thai-born senator and California’s Kamala Harris will be the second-ever black woman in the Senate. There is still so much to do, and we need the full talents of our population to tackle the challenges our country faces. We must encourage more women to run for office across every party at every level of government until our representation matches our share of the population. History is on our side – and we will get there.

We have real challenges to face as a country. The only answer I’ve ever known to facing any challenge is to work harder. Today we pledge as Americans to keep working for a better future for everyone. Today we recommit ourselves to leaning in.

Oui Greg, c’est totalement scary. Et il est même difficile d’anticiper ce qui peut arriver. Je partage totalement. IL n’empêche que le parti Démocrate a sans doute choisi la pire candidate pour gagner l’élection. Et Elle a fait la pire campagne possible. Pour moi elle a définitivement perdu le jour où du haut de superbe aristocratique elle a dit que les électeurs de Trump etaient “des gens pathétiques”.
