With the playing of “Proud to Be an American” by Lee Greenwood and the saying of Pledge of Allegiance, the Penn State Bull-Moose Party kicked off its first meeting since Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump became President-elect after narrowly winning the general election.

A bubbly Robert Morss, chairman of the Bull-Moose Party, opened the meeting by quoting George Washington and praising members for the work they accomplished during the semester.

“I’m so freaking pumped,” Morss (freshman-secondary education) said. “I love you guys so much.”

After a brief socializing period, Morss encouraged members to “relax and do whatever you want to do” this upcoming weekend, saying they devoted a lot of time and effort toward electing Trump and deserved a break.

A couple Bull-Moose Party members offered their two cents on the election and the state of the organization.

“Hello my fellow deplorables,” Kyle Dulski (senior-security and risk analysis) said opening his speech. “What happened yesterday was historic.”

Dulski discussed the future and goals of the organization, saying Trump’s election is not where the Bull-Moose Party will end.

“You guys a like family to me, and I don’t say that lightly,” Dulski said to fellow members, adding they had spent countless hours campaigning and bonding throughout the election.

Vincent Cucchiara (sophomore-chemical engineering) admitted he was not confident Trump would win the election, but he said the strength Trump supporters carried throughout the election helped the underdogs become victorious.

Cucchiara’s main message was Trump supporters now and in future generations need to use respect and strength to “fight the bigotry” they have and will face.

After Cucchiara concluded his thoughts, secretary Dominic Decinti and director of communications Chris Baker informed members of several opportunities to discuss the results of the election and the path forward with supporters of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, including members of Penn State Students for Hillary.

Morss recalled a conversation he had with a fellow student when the Bull-Moose Party built a ‘‘wall’’ around the American flagpole on Old Main lawn on Nov. 1, saying Clinton was the candidate who divided the country, not Trump.

Morss then expressed the need for members to do well in class and become more educated as he has repeatedly done during his short term as chairman of the organization.

He said that as part of an “education platform” he is pushing as chairman, he will spend a brief period of every general meeting teaching members about different aspects of American history.

That evening, Morss explained the significance of the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives, which the Republican Party won the majority of seats after Tuesday’s election.

“This election has provided us with a green light to finally get rid of useless regulation and unleash the American potential that has been cooped up by the Obama administration,” Morss said.

Baker offered concluding statements by saying members need to think about the future of the organization since they are the ones who will carry the group forward.

“We need to redesign a Constitution that is best for everyone in this group,” Baker said.
