The Unofficial Election 2016 Results Thread PLEASE

[Oystein]

Been a long time since anyone else has called anything.

538 just called the PA senate seat for the GOP, and with this, the GOP retains control of the senate.

Is it possible that there is a recession just because Donald won? I mean just the news of it not things he actually does (though the things he will do may **** up the economy hence market reacting in advance).

Larry Kudlow has a piece up at National Review advising to buy the Trump dip or sell the Hillary rally.

Hillary and the establishment are not too good at the election rigging caper.

 

[trustbutverify]

Don't be silly.

Hillary is probably the only person in the entire US who couldn't beat Trump.

The Dems must hang their heads in shame - they had eight whole years to develop a good candidate and utterly failed.

Sanders would have been obliterated. This wasn't just a vote for change, this was a vote for the Tea Party.

 

[Oystein]

Innocent babies deserve protection. Murderers, rapists, etc have demonstrated their inability to live as civilized persons.

Not even remotely equivalent.

What would Jesus do? Execute murderers?

I never understood how evangelicals can support the death penalty.

Given the extensive amount of court-mandated review, I am confident that by the time execution actually occurs that we have gotten the verdict correct within a 99%+ margin.

Your confidence is misplaced: One in 25 Sentenced to Death in the U.S. Is Innocent, Study Claims.

 

[The Big Dog]

No surprise. Why even keep updating? it's over.

Math?

America elected Donald with 4.9% unemployment, 7 years of job growth and gas at $2.20. Were people worried about having too much of a good thing?

I'll give you the gas one, but the UE and "job growth" numbers are misleading.

The UE number does not take into account all the discouraged workers OR the underemployed.

The job growth numbers do not reflect the quality of the jobs or their economic impact.

I hear fireworks in my neighborhood 1:30 AM. I guess it is confident Trump supporters. It looks life Trump will win but too early for fireworks.

Sanders would have been obliterated. This wasn't just a vote for change, this was a vote for the Tea Party.

Correct. Only the terminally deluded would imagine Sanders would not have been destroyed.

 

[ChristianProgressive]

Your confidence is misplaced: One in 25 Sentenced to Death in the U.S. Is Innocent, Study Claims.

And they find that out how? ON APPEAL. These mistakes on initial sentencing are caught during the decades long process of appeal.

That's why I said that actually being executed was rare.

Pay attention.

Will you support social programs that help that baby grow up not experiencing a life of impoverished misery?

Absolutely.

 

[The Big Dog]

Now they are saying that he will get 269.

Lolz.

 

[trustbutverify]

Yes it is...and America deserves it. What started with Ronald Reagan has now progressed to Trump.

Enjoy the Misery and Hate!

The Dumpster will eventually get around to scapegoating Jews (or whatever codeword he decides to use instead) for America's losing ways... so at least you've got that to look forward to.

What would Jesus do? Execute murderers?

I never understood how evangelicals can support the death penalty.

Jesus had no problem with capital punishment. After all, He did not call for the thieves also crucified that day to be spared, not even the one that called on His Name.

Bernie losing against Trump would have been better.. .

Maybe; a landslide might have been better in some ways.

 

[The Big Dog]

Pbs calls Pennsylvania for trump

 

[Cain]

Bernie losing against Trump would have been better.

Agreed; with Bernie you have someone fighting the good fight. Clinton is the cynical, Republican-lite choice.

 

[Oystein]

Jesus had no problem with capital punishment. After all, He did not call for the thieves also crucified that day to be spared, not even the one that called on His Name.

Jesus was for letting even the unjust state run its course.
Would Jesus have convicted the thieves to die? Would he have swung the hammer to nail them to the crosses? Seriously?

I asked what would Jesus DO, not what would he let pass and endure.

 

[The Big Dog]

Fox calls Wisconsin, pbs calls penn. that is 274.
