That will be shameful.
Because of the Latino vote?

I think Hillary is fine in Virginia and I think there's enough urban (quite a lot actually) in NC. I sure hope so.

This is horrifying, but I don't know why I let this surprise me. I had the same level of incredulity after the Brexit.

It's this sort of false equivalency that drives me up the ####ing wall.
Pay for play?

Trying to ruin the reputation of women that claimed they had an affair with WJC?

The poor judgment to set up a private server?

She's not good for Canada is what I should be saying, which ain't good for me. I'm also very dubious about her relationship with the Russians.

Trump ain't good for the planet though, so I guess he's raising my terror meter a lot more.

This is just ####ed up.
Now you're starting to see the bigger picture. Trump is all about protectionist policies. You think that his administration would make nice with Canada? Make nice with Trudeau? Ouch.

How is any of this terrifying?

Like, shake in your pants, world will change, markets drop by 1000 points type of fear.

I can't recommend another forum, but I'm an American user and I'm freaking the eff out right now. My blood pressure is through the roof right now.

How the hell is this country so damn stupid?

America could vote in a sexist, a bigot, and a racist. And this is the democracy they want the world to follow?

Clinton is definitely the lesser of 2 evils, but man oh man are they ever both terrible.

Wait...HER relationship with the Russians? Where the #### do you get your news? It's Trump's relationship with Russia you should be concerned about.

She's fine for Canada, no worse than any other president.

Brexit was mere child's play compared to this disaster.

IMHO anyway.
