I have come to the conclusion that the mainstream media were so preoccupied with denigrating everything that Donald Trump said and did that they forgot to find out what the voters wanted, first and foremost, out of the recent election. It appears that what voters wanted was not just about Trump, in that voters now have the U.S. House, Senate and White House working for them.

Liberals should spare others their standard arguments about minorities, statistics, percentages and polls (with questions designed to favor their needs). Conservatives need to quit bickering and infighting. Party loyalists from both sides should work, instead of for the party, for the country — doing something for citizens instead of to citizens.

Meanwhile, the media need to go back to reporting the news instead of trying to create the news, as they are already doing post-election.

We should all keep in mind who determines what news the voters get.
