Ugh, UAsnake can you find another place to vent/gloat. Aside from your or my feelings on the candidates, there are real policy aspects that will help or hurt the profession and UAL over the next 4 years.
We're "kind of a big deal" in China and Europe. Tarrifs and trade wars and taxation and protectionism can all help or hurt this company. I guess we'll all find out in few years when profit share does or does not roll in and upgrade opportunities occur or vanish.

So, according to you, ST and AA can malign Trump supporters, but we're not supposed to call BS? Are you from Orwell's Ministry of Truth? And besides, we've endured 8 years of King Put's arrogance and lectures, it's only fair we get to gloat a little about his chosen successor losing.
Did you notice that the governments of Canada and Mexico have already signaled their willingness to re-negotiate NAFTA? As much as I despised Perot for handing Clinton the WH in '92, he was proven right about that giant sucking sound of jobs going away.
I trust Trump to do what he said he'd do. The guy's a tough negotiator, defeated 16 opponents in the primaries, and endured a ****storm of criticism these last few months. I've never seen a candidate work so hard to win. It's not going to be easy going against the DC establishment and their media propagandists, but if he's successful it's going to be good for the rest of us. If he doesn't follow through, I'll be the first in line to eat crow.

Didn't bring politics into except to point out that trump was 70+ chalky old man that will likely support changing the forced retirement age to 70 or remove the age cap all together. Nothing racist about my original post.
I guess you were offended about the "chalky" comment - well, that comes from his daily applied orange face. I know plenty of chalky old men that do ok without playing with their wife's makeup kit.
The names you mentioned are non-players at this point. The player you should be concerned about is trump himself. Hopefully he doesn't get us into a shooting war, tank the economy, massive borrowing to deliver job through infrastructure projects resulting in higher interest rates and inflation.
Do you really think trump will be calling the shots. The RNC picked Pence to be his VP and with trump in over his head he was basically allowed the RNC pick Reince Priebus his Chief of Staff. I don't know why they allowed trump to pick a KKK leader for his chief advisor. I guess keeping your head in the sand is a better for some - ugh?

The rest of your post is drivel.

Defamatory about Trump? No, he played his base like a fiddle and I'm afraid the Republican party is about to play him. 4% growth is a pipe dream. He's already starting to walk back the comments about jailing his opponent. The repeal and replacement of the ACA is turning into an adjustment of. This is only the beginning.
Jobs are not coming back because like it or not this is a global economy. For example, a car is assembled in Mexico with mostly US produced parts. If Donald puts a 40% tariff on the cars coming back into the US what happens to those parts producers?
The good thing we both want what's best for the country.

I'm not willing to concede that the jobs are never coming back. The reason they left to begin with was corrupt politicians (of both parties!!) making bad trade deals to line their own pockets at the expense of the country. We have to at least attempt to undo the damage.
Your sentence in bold I agree with completely.
