PATTON OSWALT: Comedian who realized he wasnt reallyall thatfunny and decided to try his hand at political commentary instead.

His tweets are a perfect time capsule of the Never Trumpers smug certitude that Hillary would win which would soon blossom into bitter recrimination.

The day before the election, Oswalt was snarky and nasty, but his mood turned as election results came in:

NOV. 7:

@pattonoswalt Every artisanal cocktail bar in Williamsburg is scrambling to create a mazel tov cocktail right now.

@pattonoswalt Someone create this drink, ASAP. Thats what we should toast with tomorrow.

NOV. 8:

@pattonoswalt This is the final, feeble insanity of the Trump campaign being slapped down. Its over, Donny. Get ready.

@pattonoswalt Oh God, the LAUGHTER when he appears. Gonna lose! Its all gone, Don. #Election2016

NOV. 8 LATER:

@pattonoswalt Come on, Broward County! Grind your democracy crotch on the stripper pole of freedom! #Florida #ElectionNight

@pattonoswalt f*ckf*ckf*ckf*ckf*ckF*CKF*CKF*CKF*CK #ElectionNight (Asterisks, mine.)

@pattonoswalt EVERY PUNDIT ON EVERY NETWORK IS TERRIFIED RIGHT NOW. AND EVERY ONE OF THEM CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. #Election2016

NOV. 8 MUCH LATER:

@pattonoswalt Hey Chris Matthews, Trump didnt tap into peoples feelings. He EXPLOITED them. He HATES people. #ElectionNight

@pattonoswalt Oh F*CK YOU Brit Hume. Dont act like you were the one lone holdout against Trump. F*ckyouf*ckyouf*ckyou. #ElectionNight [Again, asterisks, mine.]

(Brit Hume was pretty clearly against Trump from start to finish.)

POLITICAL CONSULTANTS

My favorite tweets were from the Republican political consultants who have hauled in multiple millions of dollars over the years, in exchange for turning the GOP into a minor fringe party, as exemplified in these electoral results:

1992: GOP loses to a draft-dodging horndog.

1996: GOP loses to a draft-dodging horndog who tried to destroy health care.

2000: GOP barely wins an election so close it wasnt decided until December.

2004: GOPs wartime president wins razor-thin re-election, almost losing to a gigolo.

2006: GOP loses both houses of Congress in a historic sweep after Republican president makes amnesty centerpiece of his second term.

2012: GOP loses in an electoral landslide to president who destroyed health care, staged a disastrous intervention in Libya that got our ambassador killed, and appointed Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court.

** ** **

MIKE MURPHY: High-priced GOP campaign consultant who help Jeb! raise $150 million from credulous donors, in order to win four (4) delegates.

NOV. 5:

Responding to: But what will happen after he loses?

@murphymike: A rage howl so loud you wont need a TV set to hear it for 200 miles. #LookingForward #Earmuffs

Responding to John Noonans Cant remember how many times guys like @stuartpstevens @murphymike warned GOP about millions of new Hispanic voters

@murphymike: Indeed.

@murphymike Oh I think I know what outcome of Jeb v HRC in FL would have been and about eight other swing states.

(Yes, Jeb! was a political juggernaut. If only hed had some money to get him through the primaries!)

NOV. 6:

@murphymike My big prediction: I think shell win FL quickly; will be clear in early numbers. Then cable news will do a huge 180 on long night.

@murphymike Im still not convinced hell win OH. If the WSJ/NBC data today is right, I think hell narrowly lose Ohio. Plus FL, etc.

@murphymike Real media bias isnt for D or R, its for a breathless horse race even when fundamentals belie that.

@murphymike This Hart/POS poll of RVs is always poll I take most seriously. For zillionth time, Trump is gonna lose. FL/NC will go relatively fast.

@murphymike Prediction: HRC winning FL will lead TV heads to proclaim nobody saw this coming when fact is their Trump hype has been wrong all along.

NOV 7:

Elwood tweets to Mike: Well mike if you do not see the end of your job we cant help you!! Hope you get air time on how you were so wrong!

@murphymike Oh Elwood. Ill be thinking of you tomorrow night when the networks call Florida in the 9 pm hour for Clinton and end this Trump nightmare.

NOV 8:

Responding to: do you think trump wins?

@murphymike: Nope. Though I will say FL is closer than I and many FL hacks thought.

Responding to: Still think Trump loses?

@murphymike: Yes

@murphymike Ive believed in data for 30 years in politics and data died tonight. I could not have been more wrong about this election.

(Unfortunately, Mike was getting his data from The New York Times, the GOPs best friend in the whole wide world. Thats where Mike got that great idea to have Jeb! babble in Spanish and call illegal immigration an act of love.)

** ** **

STUART STEVENS: The brain trust of Mitt Romneys presidential campaign, whose smooth Hispanic outreach resulted in a smaller Hispanic vote than Trump got, while actually losing the white vote to Obama in five states.

NOV. 6:

@stuartpstevens Fascinating piece. But if Trump is so good at media, whys he the most unpopular nominee in modern history?

@stuartpstevens As new NBC/WSJ poll shows, Trump is on track to be the first Republican to lose college educated whites since FDR era. Goldwater won them.

(Trump won college-educated whites.)

@stuartpstevens Just a little glimpse into future of a Trump party: every 4 years, electorate is 2% less white & 4% less white HS or less educated.

(Maybe GOP should stop pushing policies that make it less white faster.)

@stuartpstevens (Responding to Corey Lewandowski) Give it 48 hours to get bitter. Need to pace yourself.

@stuartpstevens (About Trump) The world is full of bitter losers who wished they could settle the score for their failures. He can work it out over shuffleboard.

NOV 7:

@stuartpstevens The elite seems to be anyone who won elections.

(Which Stuart Stevens didnt.)

@stuartpstevens Its a not an encouraging stat that Trump is losing every demographic in country that is growing. From college educated whites to Hispanics.

(Again, wrong, wrong, wrong on both whites and Hispanics.)

@stuartpstevens One of the key differences with Clinton-Trump: Clinton world understands rallies are about who is watching on television, not the crowd.

(Hillary wasnt strategically trying to avoid drawing large crowds: She couldnt get them. Apparently crowd size did mean something.)

@stuartpstevens Whomever you support, the professionalism & steadiness of the Clinton campaign has been impressive. They are pros. @AdamParkhomenko

(Stevens tagged a longtime Hillary aide in this tweet, so maybe, deep down, he knew that no one in the GOP would ever hire him again.)

NOV. 8:

@stuartpstevens Trump burned down the house to drive more non-college men to his side. Didnt do better than Romney & worse with every other group.

(According to the exit polls still preliminary Trump not only did a LOT better than Romney with non-college-educated men, but also with Hispanics, African-Americans and Asians.)

** ** **

Today, Mike Murphy sits alone, playing Jenga with stacks of cash looted from corporate donors ($150 million, utterly wasted), and an addled Stuart Stevens wanders the streets of Manhattan, window shopping and daydreaming of the snappy suit hell wear to the Romney inauguration.

Ann Coulter: A Night to Remember

It appears that, earlier this month, far right-wing hatchet woman Ann Coulter attended a Christmas party thrown by a white nationalist group the second time she has appearedat an eventpromoting racismin the last three months.

On Dec. 9 Coulter attended a party hosted by VDARE, a white nationalist website founded by Peter Brimelow, the Southern Poverty Law Center reported on Wednesday. Named after Virginia Dare, who they claim was the first white child born in the Western Hemisphere, VDARE is primarily opposed to non-white immigration into the United States.

VDAREs list of contributors, in fact, is akin to a Rolodex of the most prominent pseudo-intellectual racists and anti-Semites, writes the Southern Poverty Law Center. They include names like Jared Taylor, who once wrote that black people are incapable of sustaining any kind of civilization; Kevin MacDonald, a retired professor who wrote a trilogy claiming that Jews are genetically driven to undermine the Christian societies they often live in; and the late Sam Francis, a white nationalist ideologue who wrote several key racist books.

During the event, Coulter was interviewed by VDARE contributor John Derbyshire, who was fired by the National Review in 2012 after writing an article about the Trayvon Martin shooting in which he argued that asmall cohort of blacks in my experience, around five percent is ferociously hostile to whites and will go to great lengths to inconvenience or harm us and advised white people that if planning a trip to a beach or amusement park at some date, find out whether it is likely to be swamped with blacks on that date.

Coulters interview with Derbyshire focused on the question of whether Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who is notorious as one of the most fiercely xenophobic elected politicians and a lawyer for a white nationalist group, would be appointed deputy secretary of homeland security. Coulter told Derbyshire that she believes Kobach isnt interested in the position, adding that if Kobach isnt running things theres no second term, theres no country.

In addition to speaking at an annual Writers Workshop for a white nationalist publishing house in September, Coulter also cited numerous white nationalist sources in her recent book Adios America, including Brimelow, Robert Spencer and the Norwegian blogger Fjordman.

Coulters appearance at these events is only the latest disturbing sign that white nationalism is gaining mainstream traction. It was revealed on Thursday that the federal government has allowed white nationalist groups like the National Policy Institute and New Century Foundation to register as charities and raise more than $7.8 million in tax-deductible donations in the last decade, while white nationalist leader Richard Spencer (founder of the National Policy Institute) has said that he is seriously considering running for Congress in the seat that may be vacated by Rep. Ryan Zinke (President-elect Trumps appointment for interior secretary) in Montana.

Titled Donald Trumps Demand for Love, Bruni said: I had just shaken the president-elects normal-size hand and he was moving on to the next person when he wheeled around, took a half step back, touched my arm and looked me in the eye anew. Im going to get you to write some good stuff about me, Donald Trump said.

SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER

Bruni is a fabulous writer, but if he ever writes good stuff about you, Mr. President-elect, YOU WILL HAVE FAILED.

I assume this was just our president-elect doing something he gets the least credit for, which is being nice. But you can never be too careful.

The Times is in total opposition to Trumps stated goal to make America great again. Trump has got to know not next year, but by 5 p.m. today that anyone pursuing his agenda will incite rage, insanity and spitting blood from that newspaper.

Theres a long and tragic history of Republicans who won the war but lost the peace by trading results for respectability.

The first President Bush not only promised not to raise taxes, but also laid out the steps Democrats would take to get him to break that promise. And the Congress will push me to raise taxes, he said in his iconic 1988 convention speech, and Ill say no, and theyll push, and Ill say no, and theyll push again, and Ill say to them, Read my lips: No new taxes.

He was a good prognosticator! Congress did exactly as hed anticipated. But instead of saying no, Bush caved.

That betrayal cost the GOP its most popular issue. As the Times Michael Wines put it (shortly before Bush predictably lost his re-election bid), with the presidents sellout, Republicans gave up a political weapon so fearsome that it had destroyed three Democratic presidential candidates in 12 years.

The Times had spent months hectoring Bush about the yawning deficit, denouncing his obdurate refusal to raise taxes, and promising political popularity for the needed tax hike. But the moment Bush raised taxes, the Times couldnt stop crowing about his broken promise.

That was always the whole point. Not the yawning deficit. Not raising revenue. But to get the GOP to give up its most potent issue.

Trump has just annihilated 16 far more experienced Republican rivals, the Clinton machine and the entire media/Hollywood/Wall Street complex by raising the one issue no other politician would touch:putting Americas interests first on immigration.

What promise do you think they want Trump to break?

Luckily for the country,Trump doesnt seem obsessed with what the elites think of him. But his advisers include just the type of Republicans whose second-tier law schools make them particularly susceptible to the cheap respectability of establishment media approval.

Trump has been a politician for only a little more than one year. He has no experience with the tricks that will be played to get him to betray voters on his signature issue. The first president Bush knew what was coming and he still broke his promise.

Manifestly, if anyone in Washington seriously wanted to build a wall, deport illegals, return criminal aliens to their own countries, end the anchor baby scam and prevent jihadists from immigrating here to kill Americans, it would have been done already.

Nearly every promise Trump made on immigration is 100 percent within the power of the president. For example:

It is already the presidents job, as commander in chief, to protect the borders.

It is already the Department of Defenses job to build border walls.

Its already the law that citizenship is not acquired by being born on U.S. soil to an illegal alien. (No Congress has ever passed such a law,nor has the Supreme Court ruledthat they are.)

It is already the secretary of states duty to rescind visas from countries that refuse to take their criminals back.

It is already the presidents job to prohibit the entry of any class of immigrants he deems detrimental to the interests of the United States.

It is already the presidents job to remove immigrants who commit crimes, entered our country through fraud (i.e., every single refugee), are in the country illegally or who become public charges.

None of those things have ever been done before for one reason: The entire Washington establishment isunalterably opposed to enforcing our immigration laws.

Trump will have no trouble enacting the rest of his agenda. If congressional Republicans are good for anything, it is to repeal Obamacare, cut taxes and regulation, confirm good judges and protect the Second Amendment. No one but Trump would have done it, but not even Nancy Pelosi is going to attack Trump for keeping jobs in America.

Only when it comes to immigration will Trump be Gary Cooper, out there alone against every powerful entity in America. Just as he wasduring the campaign.

On immigration, Trump will be furiously opposed by: Democrats, Republicans, the permanent bureaucracy, the Chamber of Commerce, George Soros, The Wall Street Journal in fact, the entire media, except four webpages, six bloggers and five talk-radio hosts and hundreds of taxpayer-funded immigrant grievance groups. And thats just off the top of my head.

Hell even be opposed by his own hand-picked U.N. ambassador! (It is an amazing fact that at the 2016 State of the Union, both the Democratic presidents address, and the Republican governors response, attacked candidate Trumps immigration proposals.)

Theres a reason millions of Americans were showing up at Trumps rallies chanting, Build the Wall! and not, End Obamacare! Cut taxes! Save the Second Amendment! or any other slogan that could have been chanted just as easily at a Jeb! Rally.

There are only a handful of people in the entire country with the knowledge and ability to enforce our immigration laws. Any Cabinet appointees likely to impress The New York Times arent going to get it done. They wont have to expressly defy Trump. They just wont do it.

Perhaps theyll make some showy effort at deporting illegals and then back down at the first La Raza lawsuit. Or they will allow career government lawyers to submit briefs in court that cite all the wrong cases. Or theyll wait for Speaker Paul Ryans approval to do anything. Or theyll be moved by a Nikki Haley speech about the vibrant diversity of Somali refugees. Or theyll be scared off by Washington bureaucrats who say,You cant do that!

But if Trump chooses from among the few people who know how to get it done (Kris Kobach, Kris Kobach or Kris Kobach), his promises will be kept. He can relax. He can spend all his time playing golf, living in Trump Tower, yelling at American CEOs trying to outsource jobs and engaging in appalling conflicts of interest with his businesses.

He could even shoot someone on Fifth Avenue. (I propose GOP consultant Rick Wilson!)

Trump is down to his last wish from Aladdin. He can impress The New York Times, or he can make America great again. But he cant do both.

Ann Coulter: How the Establishment Will Try to Destroy Trump

Conservatives have been concerned about a softening stance on immigration by President-elect Donald Trump, and author Ann Coulter is one of those worried about a "big sell-out."

Coulter, who has been a leading conservative supporter of Trump's campaign, is author of "In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome!"

She cited a CBS News interview Friday with Vice President-elect Mike Pence in her concerned tweet, linking to questions about Trump reversing his bold campaign promises on immigration.

Story continues below this video.

"The speaker of the House [Paul Ryan] told us [Friday] that, when it comes to deporting 11 million illegal immigrants, its not going to happen, and he wont fund it," CBS News host Scott Pelley asked Pence.

"I promise you that, that were going to get a tremendous amount of support, from members on Capitol Hill for border security, for strengthening internal enforcement, expanding our border agents, expanding Immigration and Customs Enforcement, identifying and prioritizing, the removal from this country of criminal illegal aliens, those who've overstayed their visas," Pence told Pelley in the above interview. "I'm very confident that we'll have broad-based support in the Congress for what the president-elect outlined in the course of his campaign.

"And we're going to work every day to make sure that we advance those policies and end illegal immigration once and for all."

Ann Coulter Worries About Trump's 'Big Sell-Out' on Immigration

Two of Donald Trumps most high profile supporters may already be regretting their decision.

Both Ann Coulter and Sarah Palin criticized the president-elect on Friday, following months of staunchly supporting his election.

Sounds like the big sell-out is coming. Oh well. The voters did what we could, Coulter tweeted Friday. If Trump sells out, its not our fault.

Coulter appears to be angry over Trump backing off his campaign promise to build a wall around the United States as part of his immigration policy.

Instead, vice president-elect Mike Pence stated he and Speaker of the House Paul Ryan would be the ones spearheading immigration.

Coulter also expressed displeasure at Trumps pick of South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, a Republican who had publicly criticized Trump, as the next UN Ambassador.

After Nikki Haley, I expect @realDonaldTrumps next cabinet pick to be Obama, she said on Twitter. Both used State of Union address this year to attack Trump.

Meanwhile, Palin is mad about Trumps plan to keep air conditioning plant Carrier in the United States by giving the company a multimillion-dollar tax incentive.

When government steps in arbitrarily with individual subsidies, favoring one business over others, it sets inconsistent, unfair, illogical precedent, the former Alaska governor wrote in an op-ed on the website Young Conservatives.

Republicans oppose this, remember? she continued. Instead, we support competition on a level playing field, remember? Because we know special interest crony capitalism is one big fail.

Palin had been reported to be in consideration for an appointment as Secretary of Veteran Affairs though the timing of this op-ed may diminish her chances of joining the Trump administration.

Some Marvel movie heroes seem to think the biggest supervillain they face is President-elect Donald Trump. Here's a look at 12 stars of superhero films wholike him about as much as they like Doctor Doom.

Captain America himself, Chris Evans, denounced President-elect Trump on election night, tweeting, "This is an embarrassing night for America. We've let a hatemonger lead our great nation. We've let a bully set our course. I'm devastated."

The election was "a direct blow to the dreamers, to the empathizers, to those who dare to hope," wrote Brie Larson, who will star in "Captain Marvel,"in a piece she wrote for Lena Dunham's website,Lenny.

Larsonhas also shared anti-Trump posts calling for a recount, for electors to vote against Trump, and this one from the ACLUthat raise concerns over a Trump-run White House.

Mark Ruffalo plays The Hulk in the "Avengers" series, but offscreen he's a passionate activist who has been open about his disdain for Trump.

Ruffalo urged his Twitter followers to "keep your eye on the ball" when it comes to Trump, warning them not to get distracted by the president-elect's bombastic tweets.

Comic book creator Stan Lee, who famously appears in Marvel movie cameos, hasn't directly gone out against Trump, but did share "some thoughts on #respect for what feels like a troubled time" on Twitter.

New Zealander Taika Waititi, director of the upcoming "Thor: Ragnarok," shared his negative takeon the election results.
