CNN political commentator Scott Jennings said that President-elect Donald Trump's victory in the election over Vice President Kamala Harris was a signal that working-class Americans are fed up with the current administration.

"This is a mandate," Jennings said. "He's won the national popular vote for the first time for a Republican since 2004. This is a big deal. This isn't backing into the office."

The Fox News Decision Desk projected a Trump victory on Wednesday after he accomplished key wins in a handful of battleground states, including Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

"This is a mandate to do what you said you were going to do: get the economy working again for regular working-class Americans, fix immigration, try to get crime under control, try to reduce the chaos in the world," Jennings continued.

"I'm interpreting the results tonight as the revenge of the working-class American, the anonymous American who has been crushed, insulted, condescended to," he said. "They're not garbage. They're not Nazis. They're just regular people who get up and go to work every day and are trying to make a better life for their kids. And they feel like they have been told to just shut up when they have complained about the things that are hurting them in their own lives."

"I also feel like this election as we sit here and pore over this tonight is something of an indictment of the political information complex," Jennings said, speaking about the media ecosystem, especially in the lead up to Election Day. "The story that was portrayed was not true."

"We were told Puerto Rico was going to change the election. Liz Cheney, Nikki Haley voters, women lying to their husbands," he said. "Night after night after night, people were told all these things and gimmicks were somehow going to push Harris over the line, and we were just ignoring the fundamentals: inflation, people feeling like they were barely able to tread water at best."

The last paragraph was the only thing he said of any substance. The rest was political posturing. He's very good at it.

I think this needs to alarm a lot of us, that the news coverage a good portion of us consume is not being as straightforward as we need it to be. They harped on all those things Scott Jennings said, and it made us feel like the entire country thought the same thing. We need waaaay less sensational news and more direct reporting out of the major networks we get news from.

Well, not really but... I was talking about the SS letting them get that close with guns and actually turning a blind eye in PA.

Didn't you write "You guys tried to shoot him twice and failed. Maybe you should spend more time practicing marksmanship rather than trying to ban guns"?

What do you mean by "you guys"? Democrats?

We all know Elon is going to be the R nominee in 2028, right? He will be next to carry the torch, and unless there are some landmark changes in the D party's strategy, he'll win by a larger margin that Trump just did.

Rupert Murdoch has won. His long-game plan actually worked. And here we are.

You do know he can't be president, right?

But since we know lying doesn’t matter, it’s time to promise everyone $100,000, a new F150, $50,000 for a down payment, and an ironclad guarantee we’ll hurt the people you hate.

What did Harris promise that she couldn’t deliver? $20, 000 forgivable loans lol. Do you guys ever stop to think before you post something like this that gee I better make sure my side isn’t doing the same thing because I’d be a hypocrite for not calling it out to? Democrats have been buying votes with promises they can’t deliver on for decades. Long enough to make a sizable portion of the country dependent on the G’ment. It’s your standard. Just look at all the shit hole cities controlled by dems for decades. That’s ok though because the black and Latino communities are starting to wise up and shun the democrat’s crack of buying their votes and under delivering

Elon’s gonna need a constitutional amendment to make that happen

You think

a) an amendment can pass?
b) the GOP would DARE open the doors for non natural born citizens to be POTUS? After this last cycle of vitriol??? I wish they would try

If I've learned anything through this election cycle, it's that there's nothing—absolutely nothing—that MAGA might do that would surprise me anymore. Now that they have full fucking control of the country, even moreso.

Promising things you can’t deliver that somehow still makes people dependent on the government. Quite a party trick.

Pondering things this morning… the results of this election just shows you that Pete Buttegieg will never see the inside of the White House. Dems will probably foolishly nominate him because they believe in “the better angels”. Honestly Mark Cuban is probably our best shot at 2028, since he is a rich white man on tv. I’m being very serious with all of these statements. America has let me down.

ETA Dems will be hard pressed to win a presidential election going forward with the trifecta of Fox News, Twitter and Joe Rogan on the R team. Local and state elections are not as corrupted by these media outlets.

Those weren’t the media sources lying to you. You were lied to by msnbc, cnn, cbs, nbc, abc, NYT, wapo. They are the ones telling you reports of Biden being a vegetable were false and fabricated. They were the ones publishing bullshit polls. Do you not remember any of that? Are you ok with all the lies they fed you? If so then don’t complain about being the fool.

Pretty impressive isn’t it. Otherwise no logical reason why the black community heavily voted for Dems for decades. Things are changing though. Trump has shown that.

Yep, there it is, folks. It's all about the economic anxiety. They just didn't like the inflation, you see. If only we reached out to MAGA world to build a center left multiracial coalition of working people.

That you can use the word shit hole to describe American cities is astonishing -- almost as astonishing as your fucking self-righteousness. The shit hole cities are where the wealth is created. Without American cities, the American economy is basically Brazil or Russia.

The reality of the American economy is this: the liberal states create the wealth, and the conservative states take a big cut because of the Senate. And that's OK with me for a number of reasons. It does start to become irritating when the taker states then decide it's the cities that are the problem.

lol. Yes, no other reason black people would have preferred Democrats over the 50 years.

Also had Elon spending without care

She had more billionaire support than did trump but all anyone seems to care about is Elon. Zuckerberg, soros , both gates, jobs, brin, Lucas, Spielberg, Oprah, Bloomberg, etc. seems like sour grapes to complain about Elon.
