caulfield12 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 12:50 PM) Well Donald, you won. I didn't vote for you and I didn't want you to win. I hope you prove me wrong and go on to be an amazing president. And for all the politicians out there, I hope every one saw what happened and realized Donald is here because of the republicans and democrats who failed to work together to make America better. I hope we see a much more moderate Trump from here on out and that ultimately his policies will end up falling more in the middle. We shall see, but as an American, I hope you do an amazing job. The 85% incumbency and gerrymandering effect disagrees in the sense they preserved the Congress despite the GOP being at about a 15-20% approval rating over parts of the last four years due to obstructionism and lack of creative/innovative policy ideas beyond trickle down economics. But there will definitely be a backlash if he fails to govern in the middle....see 1994, 2006/08....2010/2014. Who is going to protect those Americans who will lose medical coverage and be denied due to pre-existing conditions by the next insurer? The environment/green movement was going to be a driver of employment growth...where is new job growth going to come from? All small and medium sized businesses?

Steve9347 Posted November 9, 2016 Author Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 12:18 PM) Obama ruined everyone's lives. Trump even said voting for Hillary is like voting for 4 more years of Obama. The weird part....Obama's approval rating is higher than Reagan's on election day 1988. The only 2 modern Presidents with a higher approval rating on election day were Reagan in 1984, and Bill Clinton in 2000. Approval ratings, like polling, did not matter in this election. The people who came out in waves to support Trump did not respond to approval ratings polls nor any polling. They did not exist. Until yesterday when they did by the millions. 1.1 million more people voted in Wisconsin alone in 2016 than in 2012.

Dick Allen Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 QUOTE (CanOfCorn @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 12:58 PM) They are called "politicians." And there are still 538 of them in Washington that will be making the laws. If they really wanted to "Drain the Swamp," people like McCain wouldn't be reelected. Not because he's a bad representative, but because he is a lifetime politician. That didn't happen. Yes, draining the swamp and bringing in Guilianni, and Gingrich, and Christie into the cabinet doesn't exactly jive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The environment/green movement was going to be a driver of employment growth...where is new job growth going to come from? All small and medium sized businesses? Many republicans are already supporting the green movement indirectly due to the economic benefits it has created rather than any concerns about climate change. Republicans like jobs and money just as much as anyone. The issue is going to be whether cutting federal subsidies undercuts the industry so much as to stall out significant progress, or whether the economics of renewable resources can carry the day themselves. In addition to cutting federal subsidies, it will be interesting to see how badly the Clean Power Plan and the regulations on coal, in particular, upset the economics of solar and wind energy.

caulfield12 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 01:07 PM) What happened was the dems selected a candidate that simply couldnt be president. It wasnt going to happen, I have said that for months. Bernie mops the floor with Trump this election but as we saw from wikileaks the DNC wasnt going to let that happen, under any circumstances. Not to mention that there is video proof thanks to James Okeefe of the dems admitting they pay the mentally ill to attack people at Trump rallies. The Clintons almost destroyed the entire democratic party. Hillary Clinton was the worst candidate in political history running the most negative garbage campaign possible. Colluding with the media and even establishment GOP politicians. That is why Trump won. Not because of raicism, sexism or any isms people want to insult people with. You lost because of the candidate you selected. A guy who admittedly honeymooned in Russia, Socialist Party member who is just as annoying to hear speak as Hillary...with completely unrealistic free universal higher education policies and no chance at breaking up the big banks without the cooperation of Congress? No...he never had a chance. The polls that had him ahead of Trump are meaningless today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you are missing : -Scientists (future scientists as well -- grad students / undergrad, etc.) -Literally every human being on Earth. Trump is essentially anti-science and believes climate change is a hoax. His presidency has the likely probability of destroying this planet. Climate change is already at terrible stages and likely irreversible, him becoming president likely will put the final nail in the coffin. We are all doomed. Admitedly, any of the other candidates would not have done all too much better, but this is like America saying "f*** you climate, who cares." Which, perhaps ironically, is what they have been doing for years now, so... Edited November 9, 2016 by iWin4Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
