OT: American Politics

[northernlou]

Why isn't Clinton going to speak to her supporters tonight? They've waited hours.

the fall

it hurts

 

[axlsalinger]

It'll be ok. Concentrate on career and family.

I'll be fine. But you have to admit there is a less than 3% chance this goes well.

 

[CH1]

It'll be ok. Concentrate on career and family.

yes...and just realize that's there's a 99% chance we're all living in a simulation. and those writers are amazing.

Nate Silver just made a pretty good point in his live blog....Most of the energy in the DNC right now is in the Sanders wing of the party, but Sanders is ancient. Biden would be a contender in 2020 if he wanted it, but he's ancient as well. The Clintons are toast, there's no more politicians coming out of that family.

Where the **** do they go in 2020? Trump has one term disaster written all over him, but who is the DNC great white hope?

 

[zeke]

One term or two term?

with the scotus and majorities in both houses, there's literally nothing stopping him from making it 3 or 4.

 

[Altair]

This is a fitting end to Hillary ****ing Clinton.

Taken to the cleaners by Donald Trump.

Also, to the DNC. Hope you learn.

 

[CH1]

the gop is who i'm scared of.

and with a new scotus and control of everything they are gonna gerrymander and vote restrict like you've never seen. they are going to do everything to lock down permanent majorities.

sure...but if Trump can overcome his obstacles (most of them self inflicted) the Dems can overcome theirs.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Bitch should speak tonight and probably concede.

That said, it's all ****ing over....might take a bit of time.

 

[axlsalinger]

So does the next President of the United States actually believe that 9/11 was an inside job, global warming is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese, Vladimir Putin is a great leader, the Earth is 6000 years old, and that sexual assault is okay as long as you don't take it too far?

Turns out Clinton is the one that'll bitch out of a concession tonight. Strange turn of events. If votes are miraculously found there will be riots.

 

[JaysCyYoung]

That's really classless and inexcusable on Clinton's part. Your supporters have waited for hours at campaign HQ and the election is over. Get out there and graciously thank them for their support.

 

[MindzEye]

This showed it wasn't about voting a woman into office for many people. This is nothing on woman and everything on that particular woman. Terrible candidate. She has to live with the fact she lost to Donald Trump and lost badly.

Lost to an unknown black guy with a muslimy name, and then a saggy orangutan with a shitty moral compass.

Truly a stunning achievement. To think that she worked really, really hard her entire life to fail that miserably when everything was stacked in her favour.

 

[zeke]

sure...but if Trump can overcome his obstacles (most of them self inflicted) the Dems can overcome theirs.

the dems can't overcome the gerrymandered house. they weren't able to overcome an extreme conservative scotus. and now it gets worse.

Yes-ish

 

[MindzEye]

She's never really cared about the little people....just vehicles for her ascent to power.

 

[zeke]

the election isn't called yet. trump wouldn't be conceding at this point.

Elisabeth Warren >> Sanders

Xavier Becerra and Tim Kaine are good prospects

 

[Habsy]

This is a punk move by the Dems. They're losing any moral high ground. She stumped on Trump not accepting the results yet here she is doing it herself.

 

[zeke]

the race has not been called.

likely won't be until morning.

 

[MindzEye]

the election isn't called yet. trump wouldn't be conceding at this point.

In fairness, is Trump really the guide here? I can't think of many scenarios in life where doing what Trump would do is the appropriate course of action.
