TV just called Iowa for Trump

Dan8267 says

No, that was the Democratic primary voters who thought that the mere chance of Hillary becoming president was worth the risk of Trump becoming president. Bernie Sanders would have crushed Trump.

I guess those Bernie or Bust voters were important after all. Have we learned anything, class?

Agreed. I'm obviously not a fan of Sanders policies but he would have been a worthy and honest opponent.

77% to trump now on 538 ... :) I'm really drunk.

Ah, it's not a double-click thing, it's when two people try to submit a comment at the exact same moment...

That is physically impossible. The two people will be off by at least the Planck Time.

That's easily fixed. Just make it so mine submits first. Duh!

WI and Iowa to Trump. I think it's over guys.

I think Obamacare is the main reason Hillary lost

Bernie has the best solution

Do away with the rentier trolls that suck us all dry, while adding no vslue, the worthless parasites some call "private health insurers "

Sorry...Iowa not called yet. My mistake.

TV just called Iowa and Georgia (Trump + 11) for Trump

Beat me to it. :)

Trump will be a one-term president.

I've said it from day 1; no one sane would take this job, as it's a suicide mission.

It's similar to being the Prime Minister/President of France, Spain, Italy.

The world will be in turmoil for the foreseeable future because of George W. Bush (and PNAC buddies starting Iraq War II and imbecilic spending) and Obama (idiotic run-up in the debt - Obama ran up more national debt in 8 years than all of his predecessors combined).

Obamacare increases were so upsetting to the population yet barely discussed by the media. This vote is against them, too.

Biden would have beaten Trump by 5% of popular vote and 70 electoral college votes.

The one thing I'm disappointed about is that my girl, Jill Stein, got only 1% of the popular vote. That's not enough to send a message. I was hoping she'd get 5%. That would have really sent a message to the DNC.

Yes, I agree with you on that.

Amazing that W did not go to jail for starting a war under false pretenses to reward the people who attacked us on 9/11.

Bandar bin Bush should be in jail as well, as the likely mastermind behind 9/11.

Imagine all the votes for Johnson that were taken away from Trump and not Hillary.

We should probably make our system identical to Canada's, so that it will be a seamless transition when we merge with Canada due to global warming (apparently much sooner than I previously thought - yay coal miners and "clean coal.")

Agree agree. Here here. (drink drink)

Can California become an island nation now?

Pot looks like it passes. We can smoke our way through the next four years I suppose. FUUuuuuuu ....hhhh ...

Agreed.

Headline on 538 "Some Democrats Don’t Have Much Of A Plan For A Trump Presidency" ... hahahahahahah ... really? You don't say ...

Ok Trumpets ... I concede. You're still a bunch of deplorable a-holes ... :) ... but your agent of change is here.

Cheers.

For the record, I voted Bernie in the primaries. (sigh)

They probably thought Clinton's plans for the typical voter fraud would have put her over the top. Dead people, illegals, etc. weren't enough I guess to make up the difference. I'm shocked.

just any guy says

Yeah, we could be asleep by now...

Ladies and Gentlemen, This is the working class white man speaking out as the silent majority as having had enough of the BS.

Vermont elected a new Republican governor.

Bless all of you, even you Rew for voting Bernie in the Primaries.

Now let's bomb the hell out ISIS with Russia at our side, open up those old plants, and Make America Make Shit Again.

Then Mars, because it's being awesome is just what we do.

Fuck that guy Mell ... big time.

turtledove says

Is it worth the risk?

In this case yes... Just chase with plenty of water.

I just want to add, my son's military school had a mock election. Trump won at 56% of the vote. Ages 12-18. From the mouths of babes....

Same with my kids. Almost all the kids in their classes voted for Trump haha. I was surprised.

President Trump will crash the real-estate market, buy up all the ensuing defaulted/foreclosed properties for himself, and become the largest landlord in the country. Bwahahahahaha. Suckers!

Only halfway joking. He might do exactly that. Residential and/or commercial property may be in play.

The second war upon Iraq under Shrub/Cheney cost 6 trillion +, killed close to a million people, and burnished American good standing across much of the world.

It was one of the biggest fuck-ups of all time in terms of world history.

It was a turning point (for the worse) in terms of America's history.

All neocons, including Hillary Clinton, should be permanently shunned.

In this case yes... Just chase with plenty of water.

Believe it or not, I was actually waiting for some advice on this. Okay, a light one. It's just too big of a night not to mark it with a small hangover.

Telling because not until later years do you form a true political identity.

(Edit: i.e. you vote as your parents do.)

Hey, if he secretly brought up half the abandoned factories in PA and OH just for this moment, right on, so long as he provides decent jobs to Americans.

You know what the best thing is? My cynicism levels have decreased.

And, I don't need TRT replacement from listening to that shrill, harsh voice
