That must mean one of Encarnacion/Bautista will be gone.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 11, 2016 -> 03:08 PM) If Cuban ran as a democrat I think he could waltz in if the right circumstances came about. He believes in less government and free markets though so not sure the left would have him. This isn't young Cuban. The guy is far more composed than the young Mavericks owner and now acts more like an intellectual than a sports fan. Cuban is far more qualified than a witty talk show host. I am not sure if you're serious here. I just don't believe Cuban will be a serious enough of a candidate for the democrats. I think he has a better shot to run as an extremely moderate republican. If the last 3 elections have shown anything, it's that the Democrats have a better shot when their agenda is more progressive socially and economically (or at least the perception of being more progressive in the case of Obama).

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 11, 2016 -> 02:56 PM) It's from the NYT. They're projecting. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/11/opinion/...e-win.html?_r=0 I was just talking with my friend about how all this talk of the electoral college needing to change needed to stop and that we need to think long and hard and not overreact to the results of the election. But damn, a 2 million vote difference in popular vote while Clinton might lose the election 310-228 in electoral votes just does not seem right at all. I thought Gore had it bad, but wow.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Nov 11, 2016 -> 02:13 PM) How many outstanding votes are still out there? Last I checked, Clinton is winning by 400,000 popular votes. I don't think that's 1.7% more than Trump.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Nov 11, 2016 -> 11:44 AM) Mark Cuban. No, I'm not joking. - Not a politician, not in the establishment, even fewer glaring political ties than Trump - Already has name recognition - Personable - "Tells it like it is", can be fiery and rile up a crowd - Came from a working class family to become rich, The American Dream - Significantly smarter than Trump, can beat him in debates - Liberal enough -particularly socially- not to turn off Democratic base - Doesn't have any horrible baggage/scandals that I know of - White male (let's be honest, it helps) Might as well put in Jon Stewart too if we're gonna include Cuban.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 08:47 PM) Lincoln Chafee Jim Webb.

QUOTE (Heads22 @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 06:53 PM) Who is the next woman or man up for the party? The leadership of the party is either too old or Obama. I wonder if there's a possibility he gets back into politics after a while. Probably not. I imagine the names you'll hear the most are Booker and possibly O'Malley. Ugh not O'Malley. He seems like a nice guy and all, but ALL he talked about during the primaries is what he did as governor of Maryland. He's a boring candidate.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 03:32 PM) Thankfully we have the regressive left on social media to remind us that everyone is racist. There's no hiding from them. That's absolutely a reaction to the type of posts I just mentioned post election in 2008. While I sometimes don't like just how sensitive the liberal media is and how they like to exaggerate things out of proportion, the far right's reaction to Obama in 2008 was despicable.

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 03:22 PM) Why would they be? It's not like we didn't have this group of raging racists constantly posting Obama's a socialist athiest muslim on social media for 8 years or anything... They'd never get away with demonstrating against that in real life cause there's consequences to that. They're racist deep down but would never let everyone know that. Only the hardcore white nationalists would even dare.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 03:21 PM) It's not all that simple. The democrats candidate ran on Trump being a racist. so when something racist happened, the media made it a big story. So the lowest common denominator would be representative of half the country according to simpletons. I have yet to see CNN report on the group black kids beating up a middle aged white man because he voted for Trump Trump did that to himself when he said Mexicans were rapists and criminals when he first decided to run for the Republican nomination. The Clinton camp didn't make him say that. He painted himself as a racist and the Democrats used that to attack him, which honestly, is just politics.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Nov 10, 2016 -> 11:17 AM) Shaun King is not reputable. And James O'Keefe is?

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 04:31 PM) Bob Nightengale ‏@BNightengale 1h1 hour ago The #SFGiants, who would love a big-time closer, are meeting now with representatives for free agent Aroldis Chapman. They should make sure they re-sign Conor Gillaspie just in case.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 11:20 AM) Every Democrat needs to stop with the "easy" stuff. I will always believe part of the reason Trump did so well is because he was the "underdog" which gave this false illusion that he somehow is fighting for the little guy. Right now the best thing any liberal can do, is wait and see. A big part of the reason this country cant do s*** anymore is because everyone prejudges. Obama is the worst Ill never agree with anything he does. Trump is the worst. Bush is the worst. Clinton is the worst. Hillary sure as hell wasn't going to get re-elected in 4 years against any half-way decent opponent. That's what I meant by easy. The silver lining for Democrats in all of this is that they get to run a real candidate in 4 years. Not just someone who thought it was their turn.

QUOTE (Deadpool @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 11:19 AM) There are so many smart people on both sides of the aisle and Omarrossa to hold a cabinet position is not beyond the realm of possibilities. We're becoming a reality TV show...

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 11:12 AM) I can't see Michelle wanting the office. She just doesn't seem like she wants to expose herself to that. However you want to look at it, Trump winning just gave Democrats a really easy way back into the White House in 2020 where they can elect a candidate much better than Hillary. Michelle's very well liked and well spoken, so she has that going for her. But going off the sentiment of anti-establishment rhetoric, Warren has a really good shot in 4 years. She's basically the younger female Bernie Sanders.

QUOTE (Brian @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 06:52 AM) Hate to be that guy, but what do the Dems throw out in 4 years? Booker? Cuban? Biden will be too old. I'll see myself out. Warren, Michelle Obama. I don't think Biden will be too old. McCain ran when he was 80 and he'll be serving until he's 92. Edit: McCain ain't that old, he ran at 72. For some reason I thought he's 86.

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Nov 9, 2016 -> 01:00 AM) I told you that the dems picked the worst candidate in the world. She was probably the third best the DNC could have pushed for. With Bernie and Biden (I know he didn't run...but I'm sure that had something to do with the next point I'm going to make) being the first 2. It's too bad Clinton owned the DNC.

Pennsylvania will be called at any moment and it'll be over. I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around this. Just a year ago, the idea of a Trump presidency was an absolute joke. Now he's probably going to be the next president of the United States.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 11:27 PM) The Canadian immigration website has crashed. This might seem like a joke, but for people who might actually be affected by Trump: Muslims, Latinos, LGBT, there might be an actual reason to pursue immigration.

I just can't comprehend this...how were the polls SO WRONG? They've never been this off before.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 11:10 PM) HARRY ENTEN 11:58 PM There’s going to be a lot of talk about white voters after the election, but looking at the exit polls, that’s not the full story. A big part of the story is that Clinton underperformed Obama with blacks and Hispanics. Clinton is winning only 88 percent of the black vote. Exit polls in 2012 had Obama at 93 percent. Clinton is only at 65 percent among Latinos. Obama won 71 percent of them. How only 2/3 of Latinos voted for Clinton when Trump said what he said is just insane.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 09:53 PM) This electoral college stuff is so stupid and outdated. It would be nice to change to popular vote in 2020. Seriously...then my vote would actually matter, no matter how insignificant it is in comparison to the total number of votes. Right now, if you're a candidate, you care about maybe 11 states and it's it. The rest of the country can go f*** itself fwiw.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 09:41 PM) What if Donald wins MI and Clinton win WI? It's over unless Hillary pulls a win out of Iowa, Nevada, and Arizona.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 09:35 PM) Colorado to Clinton, shaking slightly less Don't care. It's all about Michigan.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 09:06 PM) Not all of them, I know a lot of republicans who still tear into his policies when he's brought up. I never said all, but we knew that this election would have nothing to do with actual policy once Trump won the nomination. Bernie is about as clean as you can get for a politician while Clinton is heavily disliked and mired in controversy.
