Just woke up in Denmark. Speechless. Atleast weed is legal in California and Massachusetts if/when I go back.
DNC should have went with Bernie as he was one of those few people who had the right moral compass AND an ability to voice his opinions in an convincing fashion. Instead they rigged the whole primary so their favorite Hillary could take it. The sad part is that Bernie had a lot of support among the "grass root" and undecided voters and the democrats would have voted on him vs Trump anywayThey seem to struggle to come up with well reasoned arguments on a lot of issues, clearly. Any pseudo-intellectual can write off vast swathes of electorates as racist morons because they don't agree with their own enshrined opinions. A genuinely intelligent liberal would have the common sense to realise that nothing will be accomplished with that approach. But I've not seen many attempts at engaging with these arguments post Brexit, and I'm not hopeful of seeing m/any post Trump.
It's got nothing to do with her being a woman... She represents the establishment and the elites and middle America have have had enough of it.I guess America would rather have a inexperienced politician run the country than having a woman in the house. Absolute joke ... serious 2016 wtf?!
Well they already controlled the Congress and simply won the Presidency.The republicans control everything now. This after a pretty decent Obama presidency. How?
With locks on Alaska(3) and 1 EV from Maine, in addition to a 99% chance of Michigan(16).If he takes PA he's at 267?
CNN called Alaska already.264 right now, but he'll take alaska so yes, 267.
I've been piling in, even at 8/1 at 01:00ish - love it!Was going to throw a tenner on him too yesterday when he was like 5/1.
Feck it anyway.
The republicans control everything now. This after a pretty decent Obama presidency. How?
hmm. looking at the guardian right now and it still says 264, must not be up to date.CNN called Alaska already.
Old white people.The republicans control everything now. This after a pretty decent Obama presidency. How?
Fair enough but if he beats Clinton by miore than 50 electoral college votes it'll be astounding nonetheless.Nope. The most Trump can get is 310 which is less than either Obama victory, but better than Dubya's two wins. Its very hard for a Republican to win in a blowout these days just due to the way the EC breaks down.
People are spoiled and selfish. They believe Obama is the reason they aren't better off.The republicans control everything now. This after a pretty decent Obama presidency. How?
I think it's pretty hard for a party to rule three straight terms.The republicans control everything now. This after a pretty decent Obama presidency. How?
They (CNN) haven't called PA yet. Still holding out for Hildawg.hmm. looking at the guardian right now and it still says 264, must not be up to date.
Trump won the young white people vote as well.Old white people.
He did not have the built in weakness of having half the country hating him that HRC has.Biden would not have stood a chance either. A lot skeletons in his closet.
first step is denial...They (CNN) haven't called PA yet. Still holding out for Hildawg.
Ben Affleck, Amy Schumer and co's twitters will have turned more people to Trump than to Clinton. A lot more.No they care about the poor refugees!! Just make sure you get their good side.
Yep. I don't see Bernie losing WI, MI and PA, primarily because he would have engaged with these areas, engaged with the big issues there rather than focus all of his campaign onto Trump and how racist and sexist his supporters are.DNC should have went with Bernie as he was one of those few people who had the right moral compass AND an ability to voice his opinions in an convincing fashion. Instead they rigged the whole primary so their favorite Hillary could take it. The sad part is that Bernie had a lot of support among the "grass root" and undecided voters and the democrats would have voted on him vs Trump anyway
America makes history by putting forward a woman for POTUS....then votes for the pussy-grabber!
I never thought this but I'm honestly beginning to think it's a valid explanation. I mean you would struggle to name a US president who hasn't been involved in corruption, scandals or war crimes of one kind or another. Reagan had to resign on national TV ffs and he still has some of the highest approval ratings ever. Why then is this suddenly THIS offensive to so many Americans? Is it the old when a man is being two faced and manipulative, it is called cunning and smart politics but when a woman, it just doesn't commute? I am not sure but it certainly too much of a coincidence that the American public is suddenly this shocked about anything less than straight forwardness from their political figures.It's got nothing to do with her being a woman... She represents the establishment and the elites and middle America have have had enough of it.
Well... could you blame themNot that simplistic - what a good effort on the spin though!
What else? America hates pant-suits?!
She hasn't visited Wisconsin since April.When I first heard about Trump camp targeting Michigan, I thought it was optimistic. He has gone and won Michigan, PA and Wisconsin. 46 electoral votes which looked pretty safe for Clinton.
Did Clinton get complacent in those states? Just wondering if it was always going to turn or was the Clinton camp to blame for taking it for granted.
Trump won the young white people vote as well.
He's not going to win the popular vote is he, so I wouldn't suggest he has been hard done by the EC.Nope. The most Trump can get is 310 which is less than either Obama victory, but better than Dubya's two wins. Its very hard for a Republican to win in a blowout these days just due to the way the EC breaks down.
The man they voted for has suggested doing the exact thing that made Reagan resign.I never thought this but I'm honestly beginning to think it's a valid explanation.

Super Hans only speaks sense. And nonsense. At the same time.as a wise man once said, "people like coldplay and voted for the nazis. you can't trust people."
Trump just grabbed the world by the pussy.
Ummmm Reagan did not resign.I never thought this but I'm honestly beginning to think it's a valid explanation.
