* * * ! Official 2016 US Presidential Election Day Thread ! * * *

Everyone wants to pile on Trump and his supporters – I do too.

But Hillary also fucked up the campaign. She repeatedly failed to address the email question. She thought she could just plod along and beat Trump by letting him beat himself. I admit that I thought she could win that way myself, but I still felt like she wasn’t able to put him away in August and September. She was so evasive. It would have taken nothing more than some fucking PR intern to work with her and have a simple line or two and move past it. She couldn’t do it – she had to use lawyer language. That’s indicative of Hillary’s big flaw as a candidate. Hillary had to do things her way, including setting up her email server the way she did.

Yeah. If it’s Wisconsin, then it’s all over. :frowning:

That didn’t last long.

What kind of language is that? How does it jibe w/ your experience living in Utah?

Did you ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe, that those you are calling uneducated, racist, gun-toting, backward, angry and misogynistic are actually none of those things and are tired of being cast that way? The liberal politicians/liberal commentators/etc constantly insult them, tell them they are too stupid to breathe and that they only think they way they do is because they are racists.

And then those politicians/liberal commentators/etc expect them to support liberals?

Clinton, it seems, is learning that the ‘basket of deplorables’ doesn’t like being called deplorable.

Also note, at this point those you are believe are basically subhuman account for something like 49% of the voters at last count.

FTR, I didn’t vote for Clinton or Trump.

Slee

You know, I remember people saying that when W won reelection. And now, a Trump victory make those feel like the good old days.

Makes me wonder… is something exponentially worse coming down the pike that makes the Trump presidency look like the good old days?

Y’all still going on the “racist” line? I’d be willing to bet that Trump overperformed Romney among minorities (have to wait for exit polls). Why can’t you guys just admit that, perhaps, the last 8 years of Obama have been anything other than the rosy picture that many of y’all continue to paint?

It’s over dude.

Hillary loses. White supremacy wins.

Not to mention “the world”, full stop.

So in other words, you voted for Trump.

Thing 1: When you voted, there were no guys with guns out front?

Me: No, I voted last week.

Thing 2: There were no guys with assault rifles?

Me: No, were there by you?

Thing 2: I don’t know if they were “assault rifles,” but they had guns.

Me: The detail don’t matter. There were guys with guns outside your polling place?

Thing 2: Yeah.

I weep for our country. Hello, Third World.

I’m too depressed to continue watching. Hopefully I’ll wake up to a miracle for Hillary or find out this evening was just a bad dream.

I think that’s the story tonight. 49% of America said they’ve had enough of “diversity = strength”, thanks; foreigners are responsible for crime, job loss and terrorism and they’ll vote for any asshole who says so out loud.

Nah. Hillary has one controversy and Trump has eleventy dozen worse ones. That’s not the real reason.

…But I was curious what a Trump concession speech would sound like!

So, when that wall doesn’t get built, what’s gonna be the excuse?

I feel like someone I love has died. My country.

Lock her up!

I kind of thought this might happen after Hillary got nominated then I started listening to a stupid podcast that got my stupid hopes up.

Thanks Keeping it 1600.

I think you make a number of good points here.

And for the record, I voted for Gary Johnson…in California…so I have been very comfortable assured all along that my vote would be “wasted”.
