The Unofficial Election 2016 Results Thread PLEASE

Wait until retirement becomes a mythical concept and revisit that thought. America deciding that it's cool to have Republicans set the world economy on fire every eight years or so now is going to have long term effects.


I'm trying to stay positive. It's not like Trump is going to fight to bring back the CRA or anything.
 
Yep, Robert's did a fine job rigging the election by defanging the Voting Right Act. Now, he'll kill the rest of it after Trump puts in another hack.

But women can't make all of their own medical choices and that's what really matters. :covereyes
 
I hope Trump says the right things if he speaks tonight. Not claim victory yet. We will see
 
That's the worst part. You can't reassure some people by telling them they'll be okay. There are a lot of people in this country that the Orange Menace, himself, has promised won't be okay. Put yourself in the shoes of immigrants, minorities and Muslims and imagine what they are feeling right now.

As if life wasn't marginal enough. I know exactly how I'd feel in their shoes...scared and beaten.

I can only imagine how many struggling people on SSI feel right now. Defenceless might be the right word.
 
Single data point: I would have voted for almost any Democrat to keep Trump out of the White House. Even Bernie.

But I could not find it in myself to vote for Hillary.

So that's one vote. No telling how many like me there are out there.

This thread's moving so fast this was four pages ago.

It is the sole reason for Trump's victory.

I don't know many Americans, but I know several who have said the same thing. Were there a million of them?

Probably.
 
Oh, hey, look at that: The investment bankers are dismayed that their pocket president is out of the running.

That is rubbish and you know it. The markets are far more rational than that. They know about the forthcoming *********.
 
Real clear politics Pennsylvania polls. It will be amazing if Trump wins Pennsylvania.

Maybe it's just me, but I find the cognitive dissonance from the oft repeated (paraphrasing) "Trump may be an immature, sexist, racist, incompetent egomaniac of a business man, but he's definitely the best choice to improve the country" to be the most disheartening concept of the election.

Coming in a close second is the complete disregard for the strength of the US economy as somewhat of an outlier in a global climate of underwhelming Chinese economic growth and the Brexit uncertainty. [emoji19]
 
Luckily, Obama already practised to have Martial Law declared and make himself Caliph of America -
at this point, it's what we all prefer.
 
I guess it turns out that you don't need a well organized campaign if you're a Republican. Just pander to bigots/idiots/crazies hard enough and they will flock to you.

I'm not sure if there is anything that can be done besides wait for these people to die out.
