There is some deep, substantial resentment going on in the white American working class. People laughed at me but i seriously think that #spiritcooking thing changed a few minds, especially among more religious minorities. | ||

He would have been hammered for socialism and for being a hippie who supported dictators, but in contrast to Hillary fewer people would have such a strong visceral reaction to voting against him. I am quite sure he would have won. My argument to the contrary. I think it would have been enough. | ||

Some of my American friends even decided to vote for Trump just to bring the idiocy in America (capital above people, possessions against rights, freedom against social responsibility) to a head, a great white pustulous head that is going to explode during his incumbency. After Trump is impeached America will be great again - but a post Hilary America would just be the same bloody stool it is today. | ||

Of course Bernie would have fared better. Hillary has way too much political baggage. On top of that, Bernie had momentum. | ||

Electing such a bigoted, hateful individual to the presidential office isn't something normal. This isn't just another hand-off of the reigns of power from D->R or vis versa. Well...we did elect Nixon. Just saying. | ||

So for the second time in two decades, the democrats lose the white house while winning a majority of the country's votes. Very likely. | ||
