No it's just you're ignorant to what people of color go through and then you have to listen to all the old white men in this thread defend a racist, sexist. He literally called an entire race criminals and drug dealers. And you and others are defending him. That's why Trump is going to win. The lack of empathy from white privelaged folks like yourself.

Bets on Trump making a naughty or nice list of Republicans tonight?

And Trump isn't going to do a single thing to stop any of it. He's not veto-ing those bills.

And he's going to put justice on the Supreme Court that will go along with those GOP choices.

I've said all along that this goes so far beyond just the person sitting in the White House.

But this is better than a Ted Cruz president or even a generic candidate. I suspect he vetos anti LGBT legislation. Your right about the Supreme Court though.

I think that is the problem. Based on his erratic behavior during the election it is not clear what he will do. I agree with you that he will be responsible for what they do. It goes without saying but the tone of his victory speech, assuming he wins, will be telling.

"I never said that". "No I didn't" lol.

Why can't he cut taxes? The only way to get out of debt is to stop spending. The people spend less money on paying taxes and more money circulates in the economy. Lower taxes on business, especially the payroll tax or get rid of it and maybe more jobs get created.

Mexico was gonna pay for the wall anyway I thought. Yeah cuz Hillary was going to spend all the money on infrastucture??? Come on be real dude.

You only think of yourself and any complaints or fears from minorities must be "paranoia". It can't be that he has publically called all Mexicans criminals and drug dealers. Can't be that at all.

If Obama called white people the things Trump has called women and minorities you would be calling for his head.

Instead, you're deflecting your Trump love with Clinton hate.

lol. Well I hope you make it through the night without melting down.

I'm not an American, btw.

That's the hilarious thing. The US economy doesn't work without a ton of underpaid illegals.

Big winner tonight in the polling world was the NYT model. It pretty much nailed it, even calling Pennsylvania a trouble spot for Hillary two hours ago.

Not to defend EE but step back a bit. Hillary represents the privileged white elite as much as Trump, maybe more so. The difference is Trump doesn't hide it.

He'll cut taxes on the rich just like he promised.

You're right. It's all our fault.

[CaptainCrunch]

I guess one of the questions (maybe cause I'm hoping to jinx the results like screaming shutout shutout shutout) but after the whole challenging Trump over accepting the results if he lost, is she going to accept the results if she loses?

[Diet Water]

Looks like the polls were possibly right about this possibly being a blowout, just got the wrong candidate.

[Jacks]

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, is that a thing?

Getting them to do the gardening, then stiffing them on their pay.

Then running them out.
