Basically, the exit polls all showed her winning. There was a massive shift to Trump in the vote "count".

Bottom line - if this were an election in some banana republic/3rd world nation (which we are about to become ) the US would NOT validate the results due to the discrepancies between exit polls (always the gold standard)  and results totaled by non-audit able opaque privatized voting systems.

Again, you're bringing nothing of substance to the discussion here. So, rather than continuing to harangue everyone with baseless right-wing talking points which we've almost all heard ad nausuem, you ought to do your homework first, and present us with the data and the info that support your position that charter schools -- not public charter schools which are still under school district authority, but actual charter schools with privatized management -- are likely a better alternative.

In the interest of personal disclosure, I've worked extensively with Hawaiian language immersion public charter schools as a third-party evaluator and consultant. Speaking for myself only, I see considerable potential in public charter schools as a means to revolutionize public education by breaking its cookie-cutter approach through the concept of magnet schools. Public charter schools further provide for school-community-based management under the authority of the State Board of Education, and Hawaii law -- like Massachusetts -- does not allow for charter schools with privatized corporate management.

But from my standpoint and in my opinion, so-called traditional charter schools on the U.S. mainland are failing students badly, because they are generally not being run by professional educators, but rather by a corporate bureaucracy with little or no oversight and accountability. In many instances, that bureaucracy is doing little more than siphoning up precious public education funding for private profit. From the Detroit Free Press, "Bringing Failing Charter Schools to Heel," (February 1, 2016):

"Michigan's lackadaisical oversight has made the state especially attractive to for-profit charter operators, who now run more than three-fourths of the state's charter schools. Their proliferation has spawned an unvirtuous cycle in which unregulated operators use taxpayer dollars to buy political influence that shields them from unwanted scrutiny. If the cycle is not interrupted, for-profit charter operators will remain perpetually a step ahead of would-be regulators, much as tobacco manufacturers did for decades."

That editorial urged the Michigan State Legislature to pass much needed charter school reform, a move which was eventually stymied thanks in no small part to a multi-million dollar public misinformation campaign conducted in that state by Betsy DeVos, President-elect Trump's nominee for U.S. Secretary of Education.

We are never farther than a single election away from a change in government, from a change in policy, from a change in the way that the powers that we have constructed into our system are used.  And so what we need to start thinking about now is not, "How do we defend against a President Donald Trump, but how do we defend the rights of everyone, everywhere, without regard to jurisdictions, without regard to the borders..."

We have this tremendous fabric of technology that we've enveloped the earth with, this internet that creates bonds of fraternity between people who don't even share the same language, but this is fabric of communications, that  was intended to empower citizens and individuals and communities and families, is increasingly being used to disempower them.

This is not about me. This is about us. When I see these changes in government, where we see these candidates who are extremely authoritarian, and they believe that if we have the power to do something, we should do something.  We stop thinking about wrong or right.  We stop thinking about should or should not.  Instead we focus strictly on can or cannot.  These, I think, are civic dangers to everyone.  These are the things that we have to focus the most on resisting, not individual cases but broad social cases and this is the thing that I think we begin to forget when we focus too much on a single candidate.

Even if he personally repays the state and local governments for the massive cost of protecting his wife and 10 year old son after the inauguration in New York so he can indulge his 10 year old's desire to finish the 5th grade with his chums, which I suspect he won't because he's too miserly, he can't repay New Yorkers for the inconvenience and time lost in traffic jams.

I think this is a bit harsh.  I mean - up until almost the very end, Michelle Obama considered this  option for her daughters too.  Were you as up in arms then about "Malia and Sasha's desire to finish the school year with their friends"?  I mean - come on, the money aside, can't we all be a little sympathetic to a child who had no say in the matter and who is about to have his entire life uprooted?

What happens when a Trump wants to go to Palm Beach?

Now you sound like all those conservatives who complained every time Obama went to Martha's Vineyard or Hawaii.

And on the chance Donald and his wife are separated or about to separate and she has just been hanging in there until the election is over, they should hurry up and get divorced -- before inauguration day if possible, so that we don't have to pay for her secret service protection for life.

This is rampant speculation and not worthy of this blog. And Barron would still get Secret Service protection regardless of whether his parents were married or not, so Melania would be getting some protection anyways.

Hopefully, that will lead to some intrepid investigative journalist finding the goods we all know are out there to get him impeached, convicted and removed from office before he destroys our country and our children's future.
