Trump is getting these people jobs??

 

I personally don't think he will, but I don't think Clinton would have either. Regardless of what I think, he clearly had a stronger impact on them than Clinton.

Racist. Hypocrite.

Counter point: tens of millions of them voting for Donald Trump.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 09:07 PM)
No you can and should fault people for trying fascism and racism.

 

Fault them all you want, but that's the reality of how they feel.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 09:06 PM)
Anyone else would have destroyed Trump.

Huh? This is happening because tiny counties came out in droves. You just posted the most inaccurate statement, sytatistically speaking, of all-time.

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.

NYT at 73% Trump chance of winning.

Holy s*** this may happen

They won't get a job from racism and fascism, they've been duped a conman.

 

The only job Hillary will get them will be in Mexico, so why vote for her?

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 09:06 PM)
They just went 8 years without much improvement and your answer is a person who echos the last 8 years. Can't really fault them for wanting to try something different/unproven/unknown (ha).

 

You do realize the guy that was in charge the last 8 years would win this election easily?

That is very true and I agree with that, there'd still be a solid republican base that would fight hard vs Bernie's policies.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Nov 8, 2016 -> 08:57 PM)
Or people are tired of the same old s***. The exit polling shows that. People don't necessarily like him, but they do want something different.

 

It's pretty striking the difference between rural america and urban america that this election is highlighting.

 

When I get tired of eating the same foods for a lot of my meals, my reaction is never "f*** it, let's see if I like the taste of rat poison".

 

Never underestimate racist white Americans.

Sigh. Nothing is turning. Im very scared. Enjoy schadenfreude, but this is very scary. This was an important job. This country is great. People are going to be hurt.

You know this isn't true.

Nate just dropped his model to 55% for Clinton.

 

This is over. Donald Trump is going to be my President.

For sure we're getting a republican senate it looks like

Assuming HRC holds VA, PA, MI, WI and gets NH... she still likely wins. She needs just NV or CO to go with it. No need for Clinton backers to give this up, or even panic.

 

This is really, really, really close. But I don't believe Trump at 70% now, nor did I believe the models saying Clinton 90% before. I admit though this is closer than I thought it would be. My guess is, it really comes down to Nevada and Colorado.

MI and WI are likely to go trump according to upshot. It's over

I would agree, but without much confidence. Not sure you could with these results.

And Silver has 55% Clinton now, which is what I was kinda saying.

I really believe if the Democrats nominated someone other than Hillary Clinton, this election would have been over months ago with the Dems getting a win of historic levels. I also believe that if someone other than Trump was nominated the GOP would have trounced in this cycle as well.

Yeah I doubt that, but we'll know those in the next hour or two.

 

If those two DO go to Trump, then yeah, Trump wins/

You know this isn't true.

 

I have zero reason to think Hillary will force corporations to build factories in those small towns where People are voting for Trump because they are poor and frustrated. ( and no, I don't think Trump will either, just looking at the mindset those people would have)

Every time CNN shows a democratic heavy county update they keep hoping she closes the gap but each time it feels like it's just not enough. Just can't gain traction in so many states.

He has clarified her odds will tank when fla is called

Silver is tweeting that is based only on called states - once Florida is called that chance will plummet.
