Trump is a political neophyte. At this point, I'm willing to give it a shot. Some of his surrogates, however, that have a very real shot at being part of his administration already have...less-than-stellar track records in government.

Because Christie, Gingrich, and Trump will all work with democrats to get shit done.

Well Trump seems to win PA, Mich. and Wisc or at least has a better shot then Clinton to do so.
She needs all 3 states, he needs one of them. He will get at least 2 of them, maybe even 3.

Not to mention Trump's policies are not anti-establishment.

The track-record of his policies is tried and disastrous.

People talk about corruption and lying. Mostly, these things are baseless, but more importantly, they just don't matter.


We just re-elected George W. Bush. But now he's got a really shitty personality that our allies hate, and has a weird thing with Russia.
We're fucked. It isn't insta-lose, world ends. It's 4-8 years of terrible economics and abrasive foreign-policy.

But at least he'll "tell it like it is".

which means that either it goes magically amazing like they say it will, or it will crash horribly and dems take sweeping majorities in 2018 and are poised to make good gains in 2020 ala 2010 which is why the repubs have their house till 2020 gov elections.

Dems are doing what repubs did during obama, diverting all resources for 2020 gov races to secure a house majority now.

and hopefully being less corrupt in the process. The RNC at least allowed for the free democratic primary process, but unfortunately that allowed for a donald trump. The DNC might have had Bernie if it wasnt so corrupt.

Seriously, from +3% for Obama...

Hillary Clinton is the worst candidate since 30 years.

Which was also pointed out repeatedly in this thread for over a year, and which was also vehemently denied.

We had quote chains at hundreds of words, not that she was some close call, but she was clearly a good candidate that just had enough s*** thrown at her by Republicans that tarnished her name somewhat. I'm wondering if there's anybody on the fence that will finally conclude that in THIS close of a race, something was more wrong with their girl than truthless scandals and an uninformed populace.

My more nuanced position was that it was stupid to nominate someone who had been the target of a 20 year smear campaign, regardless of the whether or no the the accusations were true. Made the general election needlessly hard.

I'm generally not a bettor, and I'm not rooting for Hillary. Or Trump. But maybe that doesn't matter?

If he wins I kinda want to enjoy liberal tears.

I know a majority of TL will disagree and hate this result, but this is for the best. Out of the two candidates we are choosing the least corrupt out of the two.

Originally I wasn't even going to vote as both candidates were so shitty. Then I did legit research, not doing research on biased sites like fox news/CNN/MSN/etc. Not listening to the Media, this site, reddit and definitely not my Facebook, but actually looking into them. Reading the DNC emails, I will never understand how people can vote for Hillary. If the leaks where Trump cheated his way into the Primary, had CNN paid off to ask specific questions to his opponent, I would vote Hillary 100%. But that's not what happened, instead we got one of, if not the most corrupt candidate the US has ever had, Hillary as his opponent.


I hope Trump is good, don't know if he will actually be a good president or not, but I know he's better than Hillary will ever be. So I hope Trump wins tonight, I know it's looking good, but until it's 100% it's not over.

It's practically thread heresy to say the race is legitimately a close least-worse choice between two very bad candidates. Most of her defenders say she's objectively better than Trump on a decent margin.

We got somebody that made Trump look good.

And right now it looks like Michigan and Wisconsin agree.

Pennsylvania now within 2% with 77% reporting. Down from a 13% deficit at 25%~.

I thought Christie is politically dead no matter if Clinton or Trump wins at this point with bridge scandal confirmed and all?
