It's not over, It's just one of the many hurdles in the path towards greatness. This is the way of growth, up's and down's. but never quitting. a battle was lost, not the war. she's still young enough to run in 4 years. She may never read this but I strongly advise her to prepare for the next round. The strongest weapon a person has is an undeniable and unbendable will to continue moving forward, to not give up or know defeat; for if a person never gives up, the war is not lost; even if a hundred battles have been.
WAKE UP. HE CHEATED
Everybody got tired of that BS You the Media your Lying its your Fault Trump won because of You Own it
Great speech
We will overcome 💙💙
Our biggest nightmare😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
If Trump tries to tear up our Constitution, there will be trouble. We rebelled under mad King George lll. It is our history to be free.
Lawrence ,other News networks should take a lesson from your detailed and informative and unbiased coverage
Thank you Kamala! We The People will continue to champion Freedom, Decency, Our Constitution and Justice for All- including Women ❗🗽⚖️🇺🇸
We need to investigate the USPS. Louis DeJoy was appointed while Trump was 45. The USPS is not an actual US agency. The ballot tracking is all through USPS. The voter Registration is done through USPS. DeJoy broke the system by removing sorting machines. Eventually it was fixed somehow and running as normal. Dems are missing votes. How can we be sure our votes were actually counted? I think the Keys work, but thats if the actual votes were counted.
My 16 year old daughter and I cannot stop crying. My daughter 1st response was NOW I CANT GO TO COLLEGE…. It hurts me to see her so sad . I said lets not give up…😢😓💙
Thank you Lawrence for demeaning Trump, his supporters and his colleagues. Because of your divisive rhetoric and slander, it motivated my base to rally and LANDSLIDE KAMALA!!
Kamala Harris is incredible speaker, she is intelligent, professional
She would have been an amazing president.
America will feel within few months what decision they have made,
How do I help my Spanish neighbors?? How?
We will overcome. She is such inspiration for young people unlike the selfish cruel liars who won through lies.
D.J.T. would never speak such words, she is an pure inspiration of hope and future believing. Therefore Mrs. Kamala Harris, see you in three and a half year again to fight with you for justice, humanity, truth and progress in the US democracy, which should actually be a role model for exactly that… these attributes have now had a hard break for 4 years…
Thank you VP Harris.
You give us hope 💙💙.
🇺🇸💧💙💧🇺🇸 tears of Love for America for the people and for Kamala Harris
Lawrence’s powerful commentary & Kamala’s profound speech brings into perspective what we have lost in this election.
Kamala was a stellar candidate & would have been a remarkable President.
America truly lost to fascism. It’s devastating.
We couldn’t stop our tears😭😭😭😭😭😭😭don’t lose hope America, you will be okay😭
thank you lawrence! beautiful!!!
Thank you, Mr. O'Donnell. I hope you are not silenced. Please fight to stay with us.
Democrats should have started their campaign in 2021, just like Trump. Firstly, they should have come out with a complaint every week about the Covid Lockdown and emphasized how Trump wrecked the economy. Secondly Biden/Harris should have taken kudos every week when the economy was doing better and thirdly, they should have had very large ceremonies when new factories were built. Definitely Blame Trump, just as Trump blames others. 2016 – 2020 Trump did exactly that.
The Cult Of Personality might have won, but it Didn’t Win Over Me❗️
Fellow Howard University graduate watching from Tanzania. We are proud of you. We love you and Doug. God bless you.
I keep watching the clip of this guy in 2015 when he said Trump will never be president. That he will never be a candidate. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Project 2025 / Agenda 47
Are alive.
These are not just concepts of a plan. Trump has better plans to create harm for America than an Obamacare replacement.
"Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, said that if Donald Trump wins and gives him a role in government, Americans will suffer “hardship” as a result of efforts to address the national debt.
He made the comments in a virtual town hall on his website, X.
When asked about “tackling the nation’s debt,” he mentioned changing the tax code, and then went on to say there would be some financial difficulty imposed on some Americans.
"Most importantly, we have to reduce spending to live within our means,” he said, adding that these efforts will “involve some temporary hardship, but it will ensure long-term prosperity.”
(How long will that hardship last? As long as Musk claims is necessary, it seems.
And he went on to suggest his plans could garner some fierce backlash.)
Later on, Musk said that he would “balance the budget immediately,” adding: “Obviously, a lot of people who are taking advantage of government are going to be upset about that.
I’ll probably need a lot of security, but it’s got to be done.
And if it’s not done, we’ll just go bankrupt.”
(Does he include corporate welfare "subsidies" in his budget slashing?)
There's no evidence the United States is at risk of "going bankrupt."
But aside from that, it's eerie that he's already deeply paranoid about steep austerity he hasn’t even been allowed to implement.
If a plan is so extreme that the thought of it has its uber-rich creator plotting ways to insulate himself from public unrest, we can expect it to be incredibly unpopular.
The whole you-must-suffer-for-your-country thing certainly smacks of authoritarian propaganda.
And I think we can all rest assured Musk — a billionaire many times over, who has already benefited greatly from government investment — won’t be enduring any true hardship if his plan is ever implemented.

Hugs Harris/Walz you fought and I couldn’t be more proud to have seen it. But please investigate if they stole it. I don’t ever want to hear The Republican side again.
MSNBC Trump will go after you. Be ready… he will be a dictator just like Germany had years ago
my concession speech would have been a little shorter: "you chose, now we're f***ed" !!!
I had not cried yet. This filled me with so much simultaneous hope and sadness that tears flowed. Thank you for honoring just VP Harris and shaking us up!
I needed the release and the reminder of victory.
Mr. O’Donnell stay steady and strong. We will need beacons. God Bless you!
God bless and keep you, Kamala Harris. You are a brilliant woman of faith and honor. We shall overcome and stand with you in solidarity ✨️ ❤️
I agree with every word she said With one Huge exception! She shouldn't have said Fight ! She should have said Rescue Mission ! We're here to rescue not fight in a war ! Republicans use that language! It needs to stop ! Otherwise we won't have a country!
Trump claims he´s the greatest comeback in history. Greatest comeback in history MY FOOT! THAT is yet to be proven!
52% of white women voted for Trump in this election just as 53% of white women voted for Trump in 2016. White women were instrumental in putting Trump in the White House both times.
Apathy and ignorance have huge roles in what happened. People didn’t know what was going on and didn’t care what was going on.
Why?
The Republican voters knew what was going on.
People picked the wrong reasons for not voting for VP Harris and Gov Walz.
The economy isn’t bad, unemployment is back to pre-tr*mp figures. The stock market hit record highs. Inflation came down.
Prices remained high because of the corporate greed and price gouging everyone during and after Covid.
Who provided the impetus for profiteering? Who was president during the early days of the Covid pandemic?
tr*mp.
Your families suffered and loved ones died under tr*mp’s watch. He delayed action. He dismantled the very agency tasked with dealing with pandemics, set up by Obama.
Yet people claimed immigration and the economy were important and that’s why they chose tr*mp.
Immigration didn’t go down under tr*mp. He didn’t build the wall and get Mexico to pay for it.
He didn’t bring steel, oil and coal, back.
The economy tanked under him.
Biden inherited a mess and has built it up and after four years, as everyone is about to turn the corner, the voters don’t want to wait for the good life so they switch to the GOP and the cycle happens again.
Obama inherited a mess from Bush 43. Massive unemployment and over two terms, Obama got the US on its feet again. Hillary was poised to take it to the next level but tr*mp spoke about how bad everything was and how crooked and corrupt the Democrats were and rather than fact check him, most voters just believed him.
And he’s done it again.
Getting a good economy is a tough job and everyone has to suffer for things to get better.
I wonder how the Latino voters will feel when they congratulate each other for voting for him and he’s getting rid to deport everyone who isn’t white.
Brilliant as usual Lawrence, absolutely brilliant.
Washington was a Slave Owner. What a heritage
