I just heard on TV the electoral college still has to officially cast its votes on Dec. 12 and it's likely they WILL change their votes to Hillary. So she's probably going to get in the White House after all.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 11:20 PM) I love the old days. You know what they used to do to guys like that when they were in a place like this? They'd be carried out on a stretcher, folks. -Donald Trump He did say he wanted to make America great again, guess he didnt realize how fast it would happen. So please spare me with this "tolerant" left/right. Neither side is righteous. On a "lighter" note regarding this topic, in the 'old days' if a drunk acted up at a Sox game and he got taken to the bowels of the stadium, those Chicago cops would um, let that drunk know his behavior was not appreciated. Not trying to say I approve of that, but I know some people who said you didn't want to act up at a Sox game lest you get taken away by the coppers. How come nobody is responding to my post about the election? I pointed out I didn't vote for either of them. I also said my hope is Trump a.) fixes Obamacare but doesn't get rid of it. We need people with pre-existing conditions to HAVE insurance. I know somebody who started her own business and now may have to find a job with a company and abandon her business just so she has insurance. She's had to take IVs every few months the past 18 years to keep her legs and arms. b.) hires GOOD PEOPLE. Folks, it's 'possible' Trump could succeed. If he hires good people? Anything is possible. c.) I forget what c was. Please respond to my comment about hiring good people. I mean ... you can't just say, hey the world is coming to an end. I mean we elected a ruthless businessman who only cares about himself. But the alternative was a bad person, a liar, who cares only about her$elf also and her husband and daughter and son in law. Either way it would be a potential disaster. You either look forward to the POSSIBILITY of a better country/economy or give up. Like Belushi in Animal House you can't just give up. CONCLUSION: Both candidates reeked. One of them won instead of Ventura or Bobby Hull. We move on.

I didn't vote for either. I won't tell you who I wrote in. It's my personal choice. You all know what I think of Hillary. I'm just glad the Clintons are through with politics, though I did kind of like Bill. Well, I printed all that stuff about what I wanted Hillary to do when I conceded. Now I pray Trump does these things ... -- He's getting rid of Obamacare. I hope he figures out a way to lower the f***ing costs. It's ridiculous -- Like I said about Hillary, he'll be fine with foreign affairs. Nobody can control the nutjobs running some other countries. -- The economy. Trump is gonna copy Brownback's strategy which has ruined Kansas. Hmmm. We shall see if he can fix the economy. -- Hire good people. Trump as a traditional ruthless businessman knows a lot of people. Can he delegate and let some impressive motherf***ers fix the economy? Trump's only chance for success is to hire good people. He "might." Just as I concluded by wishing Hillary good luck I wish Trump good luck. We are Americans and I think most of us are SICK of being broke and sick of the economy sucking eggs. Bad night for our country? Yes of course. We elected a reality TV star. Will it work? I doubt it. But again ... to the Trump haters do you recognize there is at least a CHANCE he could hire some good people??

I would like to say as we enter Election Day, I realize we already know the results. Hillary has won. I've read enough stories about past elections to know that the candidates already know who has won because of the polls, etc. I can't remember which candidate for the life of me, but I remember reading one candidate had to put on a good face for the public when he voted at 9 a.m. one year cause he knew he'd already lost. That said, I congratulate those of you who voted for Hillary. No hard feelings on my end. I am truly disgusted that it's come to having another Clinton in the White House (you know my opinion is for 8 years), but from this point on I will wish for the best. I hope she has an awakening and decides to be the best leader we've had since Reagan (sorry but I don't think anybody else has really LED, though I do love Jimmy Carter). I hope Hillary wakes up and fixes the problems with Obamacare. We truly have a sick health care system. I'm sure she'll do OK with foreign affairs. Nobody can predict what the nutcases around the globe will do. I hope now that Hillary has fulfilled her dream and gotten the job she's always wanted, she decides to screw politics and decides to LEAD. What I'd like is a.) better healthcare. b.) improved economy. c.) taking care of military and seniors. She can forget about the social issues for now and fix those three things. I pray she is truly wanting to make a difference and not just throw up her hands (in some ways like Obama), give up and say, "I cant work with those gawddamn Republicans" and loaf for eight years. So in brief, please forgive me for my weeks of Hillary hatred. As an American I will support her. If I were to meet her I would shake her hand and say something nice to her. Good luck Hillary Clinton. Prove me wrong and bring us back to greatness. If I have offended any of you with my posts and my anger toward our country nominating and electing Hillary, I apologize. LEAD US OUT OF THE ABYSS HILLARY CLINTON. Good luck to you and please do your very best to lead America back to greatness!!

Predict what time the networks will say Hillary has wrapped up the Presidency Tuesday. I say 9:15 p.m., Eastern time.

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Nov 7, 2016 -> 04:43 PM) Just more proof the Hillary email found on Weiner's computer letter, was a politically motivated act, and was totally unnecessary, all the emails turned out to be duplicates or personal emails. Edward Snowden showed how that could be determined in minutes. Dick are you serious? Politically motivated? Comey even said she lied the first go-round. You have to check EVERYTHING involving a Clinton. QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 7, 2016 -> 04:57 PM) But I read an article that says she is hiding something and all of this looks bad. There was a guy on Rush Limbaugh's show that went into all sorts of details on why this is so shady. Let me ask you, do you think that she will be effective for her 8 years while her daughter gets political experience or will she be indicted and go to prison? I just don't see how anyone can vote for her as she is the worst candidate ever. I think Trump is awful too but she is on another level. I will likely just write in Ozzie Guillen since he knows how to get people excited. I approve of this post. Do you guys read wikileaks? Do u listen to Alex Jones? Do u listen to Limbaugh?? Ever? A lot of people agree with me on this anti Hillary stuff. Come back to me and apologize during the impeachment hearings please. She and Trump are both crooked IMO. QUOTE (lasttriptotulsa @ Nov 7, 2016 -> 06:23 PM) You are aware that in Kansas your write in vote will not even be counted if that person has not filed as an official "write in candidate" right? Here's a list of people that have officially filed with the state of Kansas. Andrew Basiago Darrell Castle Rocky De La Fuente Rocky Giordani James Hedges Tom Hoefling Lynn Kahn Gloria La Riva Michael S Levinson Michael A Maturen Evan McMullin Monica Moorehead Darryl Perry Marshall Schoenke Joe Schriner Mike Smith Ajay Sood Shawna Sterling Anthony Valdivia J.J. Vogel-Walcutt Demetra Jefferson Wysinger So if you really do want to try and make some sort of point by writing in I advise you to research those people and actually vote for one of them so your vote is at least counted. Thank u. These people applied to be president?? What's the point? Insane. QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 7, 2016 -> 06:32 PM) Take out the women and than repost that for Greg. Save time I have nothing against a woman president. But Hillary Clinton? Please. How bout Dole's wife? I'd have voted for her probably. Guys I don't want Hillary to be a liar and shady character. But she is and we have to deal with it.

QUOTE (Tony @ Nov 6, 2016 -> 09:04 PM) You've had a wildly uninformed opinion about pretty much everything at this point, including your "love" for Jesse Ventura. You've typed his name probably 100 times over the last two months. 1 poster provides you a link simply going over the issues he supports and opposes, and your response? "Yeah, I'll probably not even write in anyone" This is why we mock you. I do love Jesse Ventura, but if he is no good, I guess he's no good. QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Nov 6, 2016 -> 10:26 PM) Now clearly you're trolling. No one detests both peanut butter AND sloppy joes. I can't eat either. I do love spaghetti however with meat in it, but the sloppy joe kills me.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 6, 2016 -> 07:13 PM) https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/795284806510714881 Greg'a favorite Chelsea used Clinton Foundation to pay for her wedding among other things., This is the one that is truly appalling. Hillary and Bill are just like Trump. Anything for a buck for their family. She will be impeached. You wait. p.s. Love the timing on the Comey thing. I thought Trump was premature in drooling over how great Comey is when he reopened the email thing. It was obvious this would be the FBI's conclusion. Trump gave a good statement today. Said Hillary can get away with anything and only the American people can punish her by not voting her in. Fat chance. This will swing the polls wildly in her favor and Hillary is president and folks we are in big trouble as a nation.

QUOTE (Tony @ Nov 6, 2016 -> 08:59 PM) Unreal You guys act like I'm the only person taking this position. In real life, I detest peanut butter and sloppy joes. If somebody places them in front of me and says, choose one to eat, I just have to decline. Both would literally make me puke. Why is this any different? Both candidates are horrific, so how do you choose one? You can't, so you don't.

QUOTE (bmags @ Nov 6, 2016 -> 09:48 PM) Comey has advised congress that the review has been performed and no changes to FBIs July statement on Clinton. Pete Williams said all emails were duplicates or personal. Probably why you don't comment on ongoing investigations. Yay, now the landslide/coronation is assured! Now everybody can change their votes back to Hillary! Big surprise. Oh boy, the networks will be running what amount to free commercials for Hillary all day Monday. We can be united as a country when she gives her acceptance speech shortly after all the polls close Tuesday. This works out perfect for Hillary. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/fbi...c6d4_story.html

QUOTE (Middle Buffalo @ Nov 6, 2016 -> 08:36 PM) You're kind of all over the place in these threads, but from what I can gather, Jesse Ventura is not really your ideal candidate when it comes to issues. http://www.ontheissues.org/Jesse_Ventura.htm I'll probably have to leave it blank. Maybe vote for Kasisch.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 6, 2016 -> 08:13 PM) https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/795284806510714881 Greg'a favorite Chelsea used Clinton Foundation to pay for her wedding among other things., I wonder if Hillary will get asked any of this stuff after she's elected on Tuesday. LOL. Her presidency will be one investigation after another until she resigns. Her vice prez Kaine s gonna be president at some point that is for sure. The Clintons are so cheap. I mean they could afford to pay for Chelsea's wedding on their own. They probably figured the foundation money was owed to them for their service and felt OK about taking it for the wedding.

She flat out lied. She said she turned in all work related emails. Gowdy says it's a flat out LIE. Case closed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0XS2tksSNM

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 6, 2016 -> 12:11 AM) None of them can win, so you're actually saying you want Trump more than Clinton if you push the third party option. It's kind of taking the easy road out...instead of choosing from one of the two win possibilities. It doesn't make sense to think Hillary's the devil and then not choose the likeliest probability for defeating or stopping her. No it's not. I just read a long article today from some guy who said you can't vote for either and it's rigged. I mean last election I voted for the lesser of two evils in my mind, Obama. He didn't seem THAT bad. Time before that I voted for lesser in my two minds because how the hell could anybody vote for Palin to be veep? Now I can't vote for either. The lesser of two evils? Look at my choices. Hillary? No way. Trump? Cmon, no way. That leaves the third party guys who weren't even allowed to debate. It's impossible to choose. Now I can write in Ventura or just leave it blank. QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Nov 6, 2016 -> 02:32 PM) Everything in this post is just really poor trolling. From believing elections can be rigged, to citing Assange as your source, to claiming you'd be ok with Hilary as president if she won fair and square despite hundreds of posts proving otherwise. How anyone believes you a real person is beyond me. I'm not the only person out there who is saying this kinda stuff. McCain may vote for lindsey graham. http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-elect...clinton-n664151

Assange says Trump, "won't be allowed to win." If our country is fixing elections, a dictator is someday possible. What the hell is happening to us? I don't care if Hillary wins if it's fair and square. Very sad. This guy has ALL the leaked info and says Trump cannot win. I am scared for our future if elections are rigged.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Nov 6, 2016 -> 02:28 AM) You promise me the Sox don't make the playoffs for the next twenty years and Obama is president for that entire time, I'd take that every time....and I'd still watch for some reason. You are that big an Obama fan? Wow. The economy says otherwise.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 5, 2016 -> 06:12 PM) That game was so awesome. Did they stop playing that at games? I had thought they made it a normal part of the stadium experience, but I don't go to many games. The Cubs song is ridiculously bad. But that Sox song is way worse if it's possible. Geez, what's with Chicago teams. Get rid of that song, White Sox.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 5, 2016 -> 08:59 PM) I voted for her but my support is tepid. Let's say I need a new way to get work and my choices are a 1986 Mazda with a number of issues (Hillary) vs. having one of those guys from Mad Max making me hold on to one of those 25 foot swaying poles while he's driving 100mph with people shooting arrows at me (Trump). Was a pretty easy choice given the options. I don't know why some don't consider a third option ... a write in candidate or Johnson or that other guy who is running. Given two horrendous choices, I go for a write in.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 5, 2016 -> 08:25 PM) Beloved Hillary? Only two or three posters have come close to expressing anything resembling affection for her. Make a poll on here and you'll see how many will admit to loving Hillary and the idea of 8 years of Hillary.

To the experts on here, do you think Hillary will be a one-term president because of health issues? Or will she be all in for the eight year term I have speculated upon (with you know who getting experience in politics to replace her).

Please answer this truthfully. In a hypothetical situation, lets say a genie would assure you 100 percent that the Sox would win the WS next season and make playoffs seven of the next 10 years (only assuring the one WS crown; Sox would have to earn the rest) but the tradeoff is your beloved Hillary would LOSE to Trump and Trump would be president one term. Would you take the deal with the genie? Nothing else would be asked of you. Just this tradeoff.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Nov 5, 2016 -> 07:50 AM) Pretty sure the whole story has her laughing about lie detectors, because that was when she realized not to trust them. She was a public defender at the time. Caulfield's link confirms. I can buy that. To Hillary lovers ... Now that you have the presidency wrapped up, are you a.) thrilled? b.) just relieved Trump the Chump won't be our leader. Are you confident Hillary will lead us to greatness? I know you all hate me for this and hate me in general, but I truly feel she will be impeached within 15 months. Hope we can survive as a nation.

QUOTE (fathom @ Nov 5, 2016 -> 03:25 AM) Sounds like Montero got drunk and was critical of Maddon on the radio today. That bunt call was insane with two strikes. I do think Maddon and Francona are great great managers, but I also think ALL managers suck in terms of in game decisions. Where I love Maddon and Francona and hate Robin is the big picture. A good manager gets his team ready in spring training and thru his demeanor prevents what I call dysfunctional White Sox baseball. Everyone on Soxtalk knew our season was over after we blew that game when we were 23-10. And it was over. Maddon and Francona might have gotten us to 23-10 but they sure as hell wouldn't have let one game end our season and sure as hell wouldn't let us get simply owned by KC, Cleveland and Detroit year after year.

QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Nov 5, 2016 -> 04:42 AM) http://www.cbsnews.com/news/hillary-clinto...5-rape-suspect/ So we're now to the point where no political candidate can laugh under any circumstances. If you're a lawyer, there are nuanced cases like this (often taken pro bono) where there's no clear right or wrong. If we jump to the conclusion that any man accused of rape is guilty without a trial and no female lawyer should ever defend someone accused of rape, where does that get us as a society? She wasn't laughing at the defendant or her client. Twitter's ability to allow posters to slant every situation through their own politicized lens is slowly eroding public discourse to the point where there's really no incentive to be honest, rational or even attempt to be objective anymore. And that does it. Larry The Cable Guy and Joe The Plumber are the only ones capable of really fixing this mess, getting under the hood and really giving our entire Federal government an overhaul. Thanks for the post. I'm just wondering if Hillary did this. Sorry I am not following every single allegation and story. Thanks caulfield. Your post was 80 percent telling me what I need to know.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 5, 2016 -> 04:23 AM) Are you serious Greg? You have really never heard this song before? I never saw it. Never heard of it. And I assure you I followed every game regular season and postseason in 05. Pretty much every season since then and before then. I haven't slacked off in my interest in the Sox.
