could we have a Trump generation now?

Maybe Eric one day? Maybe Ivanka?

That's completely unfounded. I think supporting Hillary makes you a worse person and a fully indoctrinated one to boot.

I'd support somebody who says some insensitive things from time to time, over somebody that supports killing people. She defends child rapists and laughs about it. No she wasn't court appointed either, actually listen to what she says in those recordings. She was asked and agreed to, she wasn't even practicing law at the time, she was teaching.

Despite the seriousness of what is going on, it was amusing to watch the mood of this thread go from absolute confidence in a Hillary win, to a cautious optimism, to dejection.

Who's the first world leader to congratulate Trump after Putin does?

538 is giving Trump a 78% chance of wining.

But they ignored all of that in favor of handling of emails.

Are you serious? Most of the media trashed Trump for over a year. It might be one if the reasons he wins.

That would be awesome "I just wanted to prove that I could do it, I'm out!"

You're off your ####ing rocker. Take that tin foil hat and shove it where the sun don't shine.

I don't think anyone who voted Trump listened to any traditional media, except maybe Fox news. Media might be the biggest loser in all of this.

Under discussed is the ramping up of the Obamacare premiums on the part of insurance companies in an election year and its effect on the election.

They fawned over him.

Everyone can sandbag on Trump, but this is what it is: An absolute protest vote indicating people are sick of Washington. A vote for Hillary is a confidence vote in the government to continue what it has been doing - Pretty much nothing. They have been a failure for greater than 12 years, perhaps 20 years.

A vote for Trump is not an indicator you are racist, saying that makes it clear you are a parrot, repeating rhetoric that someone in an office is paid to conjure. A vote for Trump can be for many reasons, but most importantly, you are probably sick of Washington.

Alberta basically went through a similar protest vote, and it will hopefully force the losing parties to rethink their approach. This whole situation may help fix both parties.

Everything you say is wrong, and it's all wrong in the exact way the alt-right media and Trump lies are. You have the facts wrong, but it doesn't matter because the facts are liberal lies too.

It will be interesting what the republicans do now with all three houses. Do they actually have an agenda to put forth?

Repeal Obama care then what?
