The Election Night Thread - Part 1

[Grievous]

Are you for real?

I want to ask the same thing to the people in this thread that have actually brought up the idea of Civil War.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Hillary apparently doing worse with blacks and Hispanics when compared to Obama.

 

[C. Lee]

I might have voted in this election had Biden ran.

Print this post....save it to look at in the future.....if there is a future.

Our only hope in this country are reasonable Republicans in Congress. God help us all.

I wonder what's going through Rand Paul's head right now.

A christian ok with a racist rapist man-child? Doesnt sound too far off i guess

Pleased with the results, Trump was not my first choice when the GOP race started, I liked Carson. But as a Christian I feel he is a better choice then Hillary. This election is showing that people are saying they are sick of the current state of Washington DC and want some real change and not a clearly corrupt politician that will be same old same old. Everyone saying end of the world is mostly overreaction and frustration that they lost. I expect things to be about the same as they are now with less moral decline that we got from the Obama administration.

Moral decline? You just voted in a racist, mysoginistic, homophobic, bigoted pig who brags about sexual assault, demeans women and people with disabilities and grades women on their looks while posting on twitter like he was a 15 year old boy, and THIS will help the morals of the country? WTF.

I really really don't get religious people thinking Trump is "moral"...

Who cares? This election is proof the polls are BS.

Undecideds were 4.9% of the vote in opinion polls before today + people lying/last minute mind change = polling disaster

They are play up hyperbolic. You are talking about the moral decay of the Obama presidency. What exactly was that?

A Trump win isn't the fault of Sanders followers, nor is it the fault of third party voters. A Trump win is the fault of the DNC for favoring a weak and 100% corrupt candidate, and those that voted for her in the primaries. Sanders beat Trump in every poll and is currently the highest approved political figure. He would have won without question. Hillary stole the ball from Bernie while people cheered and missed the shot. If you wanted a Trump defeat and picked Hillary, the cold, hard truth is that you're part of the problem.

This.

I don't understand why. Do blacks and Hispanics think they will fare better under Trump?

He would have lost, Trump would have walked all over him in the debate. Biden and Warren would have won however if they ran.

The fact that you voted for Trump because you're a Christian and that you think he would create real change shows the complete detachment from reality.

 

[Thundercrack85]

They don't understand any of Jesus' teachings.

Well... Good thing I was a Bernie supporter and still say his hardcore loyalists who didn't vote or voted Gary Johnson had a direct effect on electing that man they were hell bent on keeping out.

Anyhow... I'm done folks... I'll be in the lounge getting ****faced and finding a way to have a good time...

This goddamn thread is like a ****ing treadmill on high.

 

[Victarion]

45 percent college educated white women voted Trump?

......

I know a few in my master's program that were backing him. Not vocally, but I saw on facebook where they liked his page.

...the Republicans hate Trump enough that they can keep him in check, right?

 

[The Overlord]

I think we need to try to be somewhat positive and just focus on putting pressure on our representatives to push back on any outlandish policies. Use the branches of government that's what they are there for.

Or instead of being positive, you can become a nihilist. I think this election proves nihilism is an underrated ideology.

Are you for real?

Dude look at his av, he's not even hiding that he's for the dark side and roots for the Sith.

 

[Kahran Ramsus]

There’s going to be a lot of talk about white voters after the election, but looking at the exit polls, that’s not the full story. A big part of the story is that Clinton underperformed Obama with blacks and Hispanics. Clinton is winning only 88 percent of the black vote. Exit polls in 2012 had Obama at 93 percent. Clinton is only at 65 percent among Latinos. Obama won 71 percent of them.

Given how she is going to lose because of underperforming in places like Milwaukee and Detroit, this is probably how Trump won right here.

As a Christian myself, I feel like putting Trump out there is asking for us to get blown all to hell. Things may change, but not for the better. Minorities, especially the Hispanics, are looking at real potential problems from this, and they as humans beings deserve the same rights as everyone else who comes to this country. America itself will see problems, Trump will cause rifts with our allies, while furthering his own agendas with places like Russia, with whom he will bow down to.

Yeah, how do they rationalize that one? I guess they think everyone in D.C. is immoral? I don't know, but this is a man who talked of sexually assaulting women openly and somehow they are okay with it... I don't get it.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

Clinton with a 0% Pennsylvania lead now.

In unrelated news, Canada's immigration site is continually crashing for some reason. No, it really is.
