This is interesting to see how the party lines were broken down.
Anyone concerned the massive group who are not white are going to say F it and burn the place to the ground? They just watched white cops murder innocent blacks for the past few years. Seeing all the white people vote in a bigot is probably not sitting well with them. This could turn ugly.
Yeah I'm sure everything will be fine in the end...it's just hard to believe that with the type of campaign he ran and the things he said.
Yeah it was all kind of a joke but I deal with Americans on a daily basis and the ones I speak with were near unanimous with their support for Trump which is why I'm not overly surprised at these results. It was the perfect storm of people being tired of the establishment and Hillary being such a flawed alternative.
Wait I went to bed early last night. Has Hillary actually conceded or no?
Yes.
Your assumption that everything will be fine is flawed. It might be. But there's a good chance it won't.
God damn, even the sunrise looks ominous.

According to that list the massive group is white men and women. I'm actually surprised that 3/10 Latino men and 1/4 Latino women would support Trump.
At their big health care meeting, it basically boiled down to repeal Obamacare, people can save and pay for their health care costs.
here's a quote from Trump I kept when he was asked about his HC plan
Quote:
“We are going to repeal ObamaCare, and we are going to replace ObamaCare with something so much better,” Trump said Saturday, noting that the insurance companies is getting “rich on ObamaCare.”
He called for lifting restrictions on health insurance companies competing across the country, instead of being forced to only sell within the state, and get a plan based on “free enterprise.”
But he made a humanitarian appeal, noting that he wants to make sure those without coverage aren’t left to die. “There will be a certain number of people who will be on the street dying, and as a Republican, I don’t want that to happen,” Trump said. “We’re going to take care of people who are dying on the street because there will be a group of people that are not going to be able to think in terms of private or anything else.”
According to that list the massive group is white men and women. I'm actually surprised that 3/10 Latino men and 1/4 Latino women would support Trump.
It is a little surprising Trump handily beat Clinton with white women. You would think a white woman would be happy to vote for the next president to be one of them. Especially when they other option is Trump. I just can't quite wrap my head around that.
The lower numbers of Latinos voting for Trump makes sense only in that in any group of people you are going to have a certain amount that vote the way they do no logical reason.

I tend to agree with this. I use the 2000 election as an example. Had Al Gore won would it have resulted in 9/11 at all or would they have paid more attention to the intelligence reports. If it did happen would the US invade Iraq? Even if they had invaded Iraq would it have been an unfunded war which helped to later cripple the economy? Even if it did would they have bailed out the bank without a plan to get the money back?
Obviously, we'll never know how this would have played out but it would have likely been much different and probably better than it actually turned out to be.
Elections matter and the people elected to the highest offices matter. I just hope that 1980-2008 pragmatic liberal Trump pops up rather than the caricature we saw during the last decade.

I, for one, am damned tired of paying for other people that make a career out of doing nothing more than reproducing. I've worked my ass off for my entire life and have never asked the government for a penny, much less demanded it, or felt entitled to it.
It's ridiculous. White taxes matter.

Look by industry. Weapons manufacturers are through the roof. Apparently the market is anticipating an arms race. Joy.

Margins in Florida won by 1.5 points or less, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin by a point or less. Polling errors were highest in states where uneducated white people made up most white voters.
Doesn't look like a Trump landslide, more like a block that the dems either got wrong or had no answer for.
EDIT: Trump underperformed his polls in 13 states.

Nah. Remember all the fear mongering about Harper's secret agenda? It amounted to little more than just that. There's only so much that any elected official can do in four years. It's been 1/4 into Jr's term already and he's accomplished very little to date good or bad. If Trump is to get two terms then I suppose things could change but if that's the case then I suppose it would be welcomed change by the voters.

Exactly. It is not fear mongering when there are already dozens of examples of US Republicans passing laws intended to disenfranchise minorities, revoke a woman's right to an abortion, silence speech, etc. So far, the only bulwark against these efforts has been the courts. But the Republicans will very quickly fill that vacant Supreme Court seat with one of their lackeys and tip the balance 5-4 in their favour. By the time Trump's term is up, it could be as much as 7-2 in that court. Or look at the FCC, which is fighting hard for net neutrality. It is also currently split right along party lines, with the two Republican members openly hostile to the consumer but currently checked by the three Democrats. The make-up of these commissions is going to change similarly, all to the detriment of the public.
haha
