A clear, decisive victory for Clinton that says this country does not want Trump or anyone who shares his beliefs to hold public office. ---

I’d like Hillary to win in a landslide, which would further discredit the media which I always feel is manipulating the news coverage to turn these elections into a divisive close to 50-50 nail biting race. I’m sick of how the media has turned so many on my Facebook feed into frothing at the mouth maniacs shouting the most hateful things, on both sides. ---

I want this word that I learned on another site. Conanfreued - (n); (KO-nin-frȯi-də): a feeling of enjoyment that comes from seeing your enemies crushed and driven before you, and from hearing the lamentations of their women. A Hilary landslide, 50+1 (at least) Senate and an overall gain in Congress. That would do it. ---

> [@adaher](#): > > …If the GOP ends up keeping the Senate, losing less than 10 seats in the House, and gains a governor, ya gotta admit, that’s not a bad day for Republicans, at all, given what they were up against… You mean so the Republicans can continue the productive/winning strategy of blocking the President (Hillary) at every turn, including refusing to accept Supreme Court nominee(s)\* and all of the other court appointments that are currently vacant. Yeah, a win for the Pubs and a giant loss for the country. A pathetic “victory.” At a minimum I want to see Hillary win and the Senate to pick up a few D seats. \*What are the chances we’ll lose another Justice or two over the next four years? I’d say pretty good. ---

Trump suffers a stroke due to a brain aneurysm while giving foaming at the mouth concession speech, leaving him partially disabled and permanently unable to speak, but alive for the full term of Hillary’s presidency. Incontinence would be a nice bonus. ---

I want Clinton to win with at least 350 electoral votes. If Trump starts whining about rigged elections, I want top Republicans to finally call him out on his bullshit. I want Jill Stein to receive less than one percent of the vote and to wipe that self righteous smirk off her face. May we never see that despicable woman or the useless Green Party ever again. I want 55 Democrats in the Senate to protect against 2018 losses. I also want to pick up at least 20 Democrats in the House. ---

In order: 1. Clinton wins by any margin large enough to foreclose legal challenge. 2 50+ Dems in senate. 2. Any gain of D governors. ---

- Clinton is elected the next president. - House and Senate move closer to a 50/50 Republican/Democrat split. - A majority of Representatives and Senators promise to identify the top three issues concerning voters by voter popularity, and vow to resign their positions if bills are not passed within four years to (at least partially) address these three issues. I (mostly) don’t give a damn who is sitting in the seats; I want issues fixed. They don’t even have to be the issues I care about personally (although that’d certainly be nice). I’ll take functional and non-obstructionist at this point, something that addresses major concerns as reported by the general voting public. I rather doubt I’ll be satisfied on Wednesday morning. ---

1. Trump loses. 2. Clinton wins. 3. Catherine Cortez Masto beats Joe Heck. 4. Question 2 (Nevada) passes. That’s my bare minimum for this Election Day to be a net positive. ---

I am vindictive, I admit that. I would be totally satisfied if the following happens: -Democrats take the House with a huge margin -Democrats get a supermajority in the Senate -Clinton wins all the states -Trump explodes in a ball of rage, letting out his misogyny and racism -Obama withdraws Garland, RGB announces retirement, so does Roberts, Thomas, and Alito -Clinton nominates the the most liberal justices she can find under 40 years old, and Obama too -Obama fires Comey, finds and removes the Trump moles in the FBI -Somebody waterboards Hannity -Trump’s tax released are leaked, he’s poor, owes more money than he has, and is sued into bankruptcy, and not just regular rich people bankruptcy like Bruce Wayne goes into bankruptcy, but like poor people bankruptcy, where he has to sell his possessions on ebay, he doesn’t have people working for him, and he’s reduced to living in a shack in Detroit and driving a second-hand car -The GOP disbands, FOX news closes is sold to NBC -Limbaugh is found dead with all evidence pointing to Obama, but Clinton pardons him because “Its better for the country that Limbaugh is dead” ---

In order of likelihood: Dem control of the Senate Clinton with 333+ EV (beating Obama’s 2012 total) Clinton with 50%+ PV Dem House majority (a long shot, for sure) ---

> [@YogSothoth](#): > > -Clinton nominates the the most liberal justices she can find under 40 years old I was wondering this the other day - why president’s don’t nominate the youngest-possible-yet-still-qualified-and-experienced-enough justices to the SCOTUS. The younger, the longer they can be justices.
