And meanwhile many of them are like “the stock market is rallying...therefore we our economy will do well under Trump.” Meanwhile, the rally was with companies that will prosper under the repeal of Obamacare (insurance companies and drug companies), and that rally will not be sustainable once Trump implements his…

I’ve been hearing this a lot today from other people. I don’t think there is another Trump. He’s exactly who we’ve seen all along: a racist bigot with no intellectual curiosity, a short attention span, and a very thin skin. I’m sincerely worried about the future of the country.

Exactly. They only care about reelections, and I think many of them are fearful of the party that is now led by Trump. So I guess we can expect tax cuts for the wealthy (which the nation cannot afford), increased defense spending (also can’t afford), and repeal of Obamacare (which will help render Medicare…

What truly scares me about this election is that there are no checks and balances on Trump— other than the understaffed Supreme Court. We only have a Republican Congress, which will be spineless given that they fear that the composition of the party has changed. Most of them will roll over for Trump, and they’ve…

That movie was mediocre at best, so no thanks.

I was thinking of that movie, “Anywhere But Here”— it’s probably on Netflix, and will not stream it ever again. Stepmom was truly awful.

Yup. It is the Trump supporters (the uneducated, blue collar workers) who will suffer the most from his policies, assuming they are implemented. His tax proposal, for example, slashes taxes for the wealthy, but raises taxes for the middle class.

Or better yet, maybe they should actually try building infrastructure in down-ballot races before expecting me to believe that they’re viable presidential candidates.

They’re virtually the same candidates: both are completely devoid of facts, are professional trolls, have incoherent policies, and have no relevant experience.

She better not come back in the next election and complain about how terrible Trump is, just as she did with GWB in 2004. She’s done this twice now, and she’s disgrace to this country. I’m not watching any movies that she’s in going forward.

Jill Stein is nothing more than a vanity candidate. She has no relevant experience, and her policy positions are dangerously incoherent and irrational. Anyone who voted for her should be ashamed of themselves.

He actually lost the popular vote. So the national polls weren’t far off- it was the state polls that went off the rails.

Agree...2004 was different. There really weren’t many surprises, and GWB had (i) a strong ground game and (ii) was fairly popular. Trump had neither of those, and he won. I’m disgusted by this.

This really is the US equivalent of Brexit...and we all know Brexit isn’t going so well for the British. I’m very disappointed in this election, and I refuse to recognize Trump as my president. He is manifestly unfit to be president.

He’s wrong. There are different rules for early voting, and in any event, the polls don’t close anyway until everyone who is in line votes. The Nevada Court just denied the writ of mandamus, by the way.

It’s truly inspiring that we are on the verge of electing our first female president...and it’s about fucking time. My polling precinct was packed (which is atypical even for a presidential election). I’m keeping my fingers crossed that America makes the right decision. To quote the wise words of Jessie Spano: …

Very nice article. My polling place was packed (line went out the door) and most of the voters were women.

I don’t like many Republicans, but I like Ana Navarro...she gets right to the point. This video in particular was my favorite moment (specifically, around 10:30)

Sanders lost by that margin for a few reasons. First, as you note, he lost badly in the South (really badly). Why? Because he didn’t make much of an effort to reach out to the African American community. People within his campaign and his own surrogates were very frustrated with his anemic outreach. http://fusion.…

“Hell Sanders, a fringe protest candidate at best, almost beat her anyways.”
