I have little confidence in his actual ability. He is the definition of all bark no bite. | ||

Ultimately, I came up with "the fuck-you to Hillary and the establishment that I was not willing to risk my own skin to send." Trump is now favored to win, and we are favored to see four very interesting years. If that is what happens, I really hope that at the very least the Democrats understand exactly why it is that this happened. Their attitude towards this was absolutely not acceptable. Bingo. And this is why I am excited to see Trump win. All of those elitists on the left are going to be hugely humbled, which needed to happen for the sake of discourse in the country. Vive les Deplorables! | ||

Her conduct contained enough unforced errors to give the Jr High Reporting Team an easy job doing a 1 year reporting campaign on substantial accusations. I mean, where's the nuance between saying the accusations wouldn't have mattered and calling attention to an alleged smear campaign over decades, versus saying the accusations mattered on substance and the supposed targeting is pretty laughable given just how transparent her character has been. The reason for my phrasing is that it dodges the rather pointless argument about her character and instead redirects it to strategy. You aren't going to convince someone she's a terrible person if they like her. Making the case that it's a really bad strategy to nominate her was easy, though. | ||

That and the mainstream media is on it's deathbed. And Jimmy made a great point that the DNC and Hillary elevated Trump on purpose. Whoops. | ||

The only hope for her I'm seeing there would be Washtenaw County at 10 out of 143 reporting ( 70 vs 25 lead for Clinton) that's still out. Not sure if that's enough votes, could get close | ||

Yes because anti-intellectualism is always a good thing...Just wait until they turn their teeth at those "elite" who were on their side. It already started with establishment Republicans. | ||

Like I have been saying for a year or so, Trump is going to make deals in Washington to get things done. He will give things up to get what he really wants. There's going to be a return to more "bipartisan" normalcy under Trump. That's the big deal. Gingrich prevailing against presidential vetoes. Gingrich moving his Contract with America policies to gain Clinton's support. Welfare Reform. | ||

Yeah, he just started making airwaves when he started going around and saying they both suck. At one point he was predicted to be getting 40-50% of the vote. | ||
