It was boxing versus professional wrestling; the sweet science versus the spectacle, and people voted for the spectacle. At the end of the day, the Dems wanted to have their cake and eat it too, and history would show this to be a fine strategy. Donald Trump didn’t much care for history, and didn’t “fight fair”. It…

Give it a week. The update is fun, and it definitely makes the game better, but if launch week is any indication, the honeymoon will wear off. It’s still a fairly empty game. I hope they’re planning to roll out new updates hot n’ heavy, because the game’s going to need a steady stream of them. People have come back,…

The plan is to turn the country into Kansas, so why not fill the government with the people responsible for that mid-west success story?

Sure we can, it’s just that all the shake-em-up anti-establishment types didn’t really give a hot, wet shit about everyone else on their ballots. They showed up for Trump, and didn’t care about the opening acts.

Quickly, get working on Hillary’s 2020 bid! If we don’t start grooming Hillary for the presidency again now, we might be too late by then, and we’ll be forced to trot her out unprepared because there just won’t be a better candidate. Do you want us to lose again? If not, then we better get the country on Hillary’s…

I’ll take “In One Ear And Out The Other” for 1000, Alex.

Give it time. Soon he will have written all the best pages. Great pages. Yuge pages. Nobody writes pages like Donald Trump writes pages.

And four years of infighting has begun. God help us if in two years, the Dems are hailing Tim Kaine as the future of the party.

I’m not gonna take solace in the fact that King Cheeto might finally be realizing he’s in way over his head. Does he strike anyone as a man that would handle that by cradling his knees in a dark corner of the White House, tears streaking through his spray tan unmercifully?

Afterwards, everybody went down to Starbucks and talked strategy over some pumpkin spice lattes.

That doesn’t shock me at all.

Just wait until the gold curtain rods go up.

He ran a racially divisive campaign and got fewer votes than the last two Republican candidates for president. It would seem pretty apparent that the people went out and voted along party lines, same as they do every year for any candidate regardless of party affiliation.

Trump won with fewer votes than Romney and McCain lost with. Trump didn’t do anything special, he didn’t bring out more people than usual, he didn’t ignite some widespread political fire that burned gloriously into the night as the country watched in astonishment. He performed like any other Republican in recent times…

God, I hope this is one of the lessons learned from all of this. Not just the press, but the people who ate that stuff up with a fork and spoon, then regurgitated it everywhere they could.

Economic diversity would have helped, no doubt, but would it have made a difference in the upper-floors of the building? I’m not so sure, I don’t think any amount of quality reporting in the areas that ended up mattering would have made much of a difference.

You’re right. It’s too bad what they had was actually a bunch of practice runs for Hillary alone, while the DNC tilted the table for her. Wouldn’t you know it, when the DNC itself is in your corner, it’s awfully easy to secure the nomination. It’s a good thing the DNC knew what they were doing! It would have really…

By saying Clinton had baggage, I’m implying that Sanders didn’t. Nothing significant anyway. What I don’t get is why you’re so proud of having voted for someone who lost. You’d do it again, and Clinton would lose again, so good on you for that I guess? Oh, this time she should stoop lower, though?

He offered change, and it resonated. I don’t know why people are so surprised by this, there are a lot of people who are desperate for any kind of change, and it’s been that way for years. Obama won on that same kind of sentiment, twice. Trump may not deliver on a single one of his promises, and people may end up…

Yeah, it really doesn’t need to be much more complicated than that. Trump pulled voters who existed outside of the polling data out of the woodwork, and Hillary failed to energize her base, especially in the places where it mattered. Her candidacy ended out in the boonies where nobody figured anyone cared enough to do…
