Nah, you are trolling. Done with this. You have not put a single coherent thought or argument forward. I have no clue what you are talking about, debating or even what side you are coming from.

If you are not trolling, put something together.

Who cares if you wonder?

You don't get decide who has the right to be upset, if anything, you living in Canada means you don't even have the right to an opinion (if that's the game we're playing).

More coal jobs + lower access to healthcare = less voters and tax payers! Surely THIS will save America.

Hey, I don't pretend to understand women as a species, and I agree that voting for someone on the basis that they belong to your gender/racial/sports group isn't noble.

But they basically just gave an endorsement to a guy that insults, assaults, belittles, and marginalizes women, made him a role model for their sons and an example for their daughters that guys like this win and there's not much they can do about it. Which is fine if you want the world run by guys like this, boys to grow up with a fraternity mentality, and girls to hope for little more than being a Kardashian.

What was the counterbalance that could possibly justify this? I really don't know.

No, the problem isn't that they didn't report it. Guess again.

I'll give you a hint - it's that they were sexually assaulted in the first place.

LOL racism and sexual assault are hilarious!! So is sexism! It's no wonder Russia a hell hole when people like you live there. No empathy whatsoever, it's honestly a joke that you'd laugh and make fun of this ladies worries.

You took my post and took what I said about protesting and said I was ok with riots. But you are a lawyer after all so twisting the truth isn't hard for you.

For saying the truth? Trump literally said he'd get with his daughter if she wasn't his daughter.

Mrs. Impaler was/is outraged, but maybe (well, clearly) to a lot of women it's no big deal, or exaggerated or... There were 2 key moments for me last night - when we turned the coverage on and saw that he was leading Florida - that was a "whoa" moment. And then when I saw that college educated white women in Virginia broke even, I was sure he was going to win...

Well just watched his victory speech. Already different from what his campaign was all about.

I guess one can hope it'll translate into his Presidency.

Ironically, with a Republican House and Senate, and soon Supreme Court, liberals' best hope now rests with Donald Trump, and the very real likelihood that - now that the great con is over - he will be nothing like he promised to be.

At least the Republicans fell two governorships short otherwise they'd be able to pass constitutional amendments without consultation of the other side.

I don't know. One might gloss over what he said or did during the campaign as an attempt to get votes and rally people, but his actions and behavior prior to the election had nothing to do with that, and are really only attributable to the type of guy he really is.

Not even going to bother - you have been running around like a chicken with its head cut off for the last 24 hours.
I laugh at her because she is an idiot. I think the entire "microagressdion" crowd are malignant idiots - to the Left what the KKK is to the right. See, we in Russia tried having the Progressive Left govern - we got women's rights, free love, artistic expression, equal pay and the slaughter of millions.

Oh right sorry I forgot about that part, people will also blame the victim if the victim doesn't behave in the way they would have.

Gee I wonder why no one reports it.

I had a hard time with this explanation. I think its an attempt to say "I wasn't really wrong" when in fact he wasn't anywhere close to right. It's more than just 1/100 here and there. Its those voters being in states that matter and as a result flipping those contests. (Unless I'm missing something?)

They should give Trump a chance, instead of this nonsense.
How did they fan the flames?
And when you say squander, do you mean extending healthcare to everyone, and dragging the country out of the biggest recession in like 70 years and a couple of hundred other things, or did you just not notice?

I honestly thought a Trump win would force the left to reflect and reevaluate instead they are doubling down on the same tactics that helped Donald Trump get elected in the first place.

Reevaluate? They need to identify some young talent first, Sanders and Warren aren't going to be running for president in 4 years, plus all the other races (which were mostly won by the incumbents who I guess represent change). Then they can figure out their strategy. It hasn't even been 24 hours yet.
