    Between the zombified horror and the butt hurt screamers I can't decide which is more satisfying.

    I find it really interesting how the exit polls show overwhelmingly that Trump is not fit for President, and they don't approve of how he treats women, etc, and yet they still voted for him. That and the number of women who didn't vote for Hillary.

    Speaks volumes about how powerful that "crooked Hillary" image is.

    I wonder if there's going to be a rationalizing 'they regret it' theory like with Brexit, which is another good idea that I agreed with that the left did everything they could to spin, and the lies fucking buried them.

    Nah it's not just a few gaffes. He's an idiot but people are just fucking tired of Washington insider bullshit. I dont see how Trump would change anything (I agree with who ever had been saying he'll face too much opposition from all sides).

    People always think crazy=idiot. Trump is many things, but he is most definitely not stupid.

    Its because she more than likely is. The fact that there has been so much smoke coming from her for so long and she doesn't get in trouble for it pisses people off. People don't like the way she plays the game. And Trump put a magnifying glass on it. With the help of Wikileaks.

    I'm still trying to figure out what CNN's doing with Minnesota. It hasn't even flashed the vote count nor discussed it even once. Yet they've got it as yellow.

    That live stream is great. Keep going back to that after I look at the numbers. Clinton staying still and trump is climbing. And they get more and more depressed

    It's just hard for me to imagine listening to his stump speeches and his debate performances and think the dude has some advanced thinking abilities. I mean you can be succesful in business with sheer force of will.

    Regarding abortion - I am pro choice all the way, but can you seriously not see the other side's stance on this issue at all?

    Nope. Not their bodies. None of their damn business. If people have such a big fucking problem with abortions, maybe they should have sex education beyond purity rings.

    He has some very, very good ideas in his platform that escape the bubble thinking nonsense that is destroying our politics. Everyone projected he had no chance to win. The right wing media tried to discredit him, and then the left went all out.

    People want to say this happened because America is stupid, but it's not why he won.

    Yeah I can see the other side's stance just fine: They want to eliminate women's ability to control their own sexuality. That's always been the goal; outlawing abortion is just one step along the way.

    A lot of what she was criticized for - like Benghazi, and the email, and the lying - happened in the last 8 years. I wonder if she could've beaten McCain, and if she loses, how pissed she is at the DNC for telling her to step aside for Obama.

    That is not what it's about and never has been. I agree with you on this issue, but I just look at the way you approach it and ask, why are you so fucking crazy?

    If the democrats are willing to admit that they're failing they need to start thinking about how they brand their stances.

    Don't brand against the lowest common denominator.

    Well I think it has more to do with his populist appeal than conservatives will be wanting to admit. He didn't offer a Reagan-esque plan to blue collar folks but conservatives still wont be willing to accept his Bernie lite ideas.
