No all trump is doing is showing that there are many uneducated bigoted idiots out there who are allowed to vote, and that republicans did a good job of voter suppression in key states.

It's important to understand why Trump is doing well, and it's not just uneducated racism. There's a pretty big rural vs urban dynamic at play here.


The standard Hillary lost because 50% of the US population is stupid argument, standard. =/


Sounds like a pretty good argument.


Imo when people use the argument that everyone is stupid, they need to look and consider more closely why people think the way they do. We've had many successful people from both sides, it's not like inherently one side knows things and the other doesn't. We're all born the same.

I have a feeling there will be a lot of brexit like 'but I only voted for Trump as a protest, I didn't want him to become actual president, can we redo the vote?' stories this week

Except that's not going to happen because the "protest" vote is 3rd party.

The Brexit referendum only had 2 options so the only protest option was Leave. Presidential elections have more than 2 options so someone protesting Hillary Clinton doesn't have to vote Trump.

doesn't matter what sanders supporters say, theirs is still bad politics and bad policy.

without the fractured media environment the establishment would be holding much better. it's guerrilla warfare vs regular army.

Doesn't matter how good your policy is if you never get the chance to implement it.

He had a much more conservative prediction about Hillary's win than most news networks, right? He was criticized for not throwing in with the 80-90% probability?

Mods just giving up on this thread right now?


Based off his own history? They're both -_-;; George W. Bush made a lot of people sweat too. The point is you vote for the lesser evil.

Vote for who you want man. Let the chaos ensue.

trump just got a higher proportion of the stupid vote this time.
