Well I’m facing being put on a registry and a flat out travel ban on my relatives, and I work with a lot of folks with whom I discussed policy issues who refused to admit that Trump’s platform included these types of provisions, so I will readily admit to being biased. I don’t know how to debate around the fact that…

I say this every time someone excoriates a meteorologist - it a hypothesis, people! It’s based on probability, NOT some soothsaying bullshit. The variables are multitudes.

Not only that, but it seems like there are some (primarily in the media) who seem to want to blame Silver for Trump’s election, like he was advocating for it and personally cast each and every vote for him.

IT IS NOT NATE SILVER’S FAULT THAT PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND PROBABILITIES. He gave Trump a higher chance of winning the presidency than the Cubs had of coming back and winning the World Series after Game 4 and we literally all JUST saw that happen. He doesn’t conduct the polls, he aggregates them, and there was no way…

Kim Jong Trump.

It’s like watching the United States fall down the stairs.

Do they realize that a person has to you know... actually DO something to get a pardon? It’s not like the president gives them a ‘get out of jail free’ card.

It’s not close! She’s losing EVERYWHERE, even next door to me in New Hampshire! I am freaking the fuck out!!! She’s losing MInnesota! MSNBC showed the national vote count and she’s down 51%-44% and my heart skipped a beat...WTF?? I thought all these white people were dead...where did they come from?

Six years. He’s on a six year term as Senator.

I can’t believe mine voted for HRC but he admitted it this morning. He’s repulsed by trump but he’s usually a party line voter (in a very blue state). I thought he’d abstain completely. He also voted for Obama over McCain but he voted for Romney in 2012. Even his super conservative family wasn’t voting trump.

I’m what I suppose you’d consider a liberal Republican. This morning my mom asked who I voted for (before quickly saying Oh! It’s none of my business! Like, Mom, you’re MOM.) I told her that of course I was voting for Hillary. 

I would kill for that headline

Unfortunately the ballots didn’t print Donald’s name in fat red crayon like he’s been practicing this whole time.

Same!

I have discussed this with people. If Trump were a Democratic candidate, even if he spouted clownishly-stereotypical Democratic policy positions (“free abortions for all!” “double taxes!” etc.), it is almost a guarantee that I would vote for the Republican. Short of, say, David Duke, just about anyone would be…

The way I asked people this was...

“Would I really be able to bring myself to vote for Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz?”

As a lifelong Dem, I’ve been trying to imagine what it would be like if some nutbar had the Democratic nomination. Would I really be able to bring myself to vote for Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz? Navarro seems like a smart, principled lady, and though I imagine she and I would disagree on a lot of policy, I am giving her…

Do I believe they called him “Diaper Don?”

To be fair, it was a different era. In 1998, urinating in other people’s beds wasn’t as big of a deal as it is today.
