Because you have Republicans in Washington who put party over country. Dems will be the minority, the only check on Trump doing whatever he damm well pleases are the Republican members of Congress. And we've already seen how Republicans who ran against Trump, and the others who said they would never vote for him, bend the knee and do exactly that. Trump will let them do whatever they want re: Obamacare, abortion, taxes, the whole right-wing mantra, as long as they give him whatever he wants. And if they don't, he'll bully and cow them like he did Jeb, l'il Marco and Christie.

Re: Election Results Thread

Guys... Brent is right, you're just WAY over-emotional right now. Everything will be okay. There are plenty of grownups in DC to keep an eye on Baby Huey.

C'mon dude, Brent deserves better than this. I don't like that he couldn't stomach HRC either, but that's A) No reason to troll him, and B) It's not like his one vote would've changed the outcome

Defending the position of Never HRC/Never Trump is very, very hard. Few can do it without being outed as actual Trump voters. I don't doubt that Brent didn't vote for Trump.

Nobody said his vote was gonna change anything. But this America is great and always will be no matter what bull**** is the type of rhetoric that is causing this country to stagnate. It's easy to say "hey I'm a white male nothing is going to change that much" but he's also not in that percentage of the country that just got told to **** off and have legitimate reasons to fear for their safety right now. Hillary included.

Do you deny that Trump is an isolationist? An authoritarian? A nationalist?

Do you deny what damage to the first amendment will be done if he sticks to any of his promises? Religious freedom, particularly for Muslims? Freedom of the press?

Do you deny that Trump has normalized things that this nation has once rejected as abhorrent?

I personally think he set out to do this on a lark, then rode the wave. Once he thought he could ACTUALLY win, he stuck with it, providing pre-made excuses (rigged elections, etc) in case he lost.

I think the GOOD common worker (non-racist/sexist/etc) identified with him, because he railed against the political machinery.

I also think that he did expose (for better or for worse) the deep divide of the previously mentioned biases in this country, however, he needed their votes, so he amped that speech up (yes, he is a sexist pig; dunno about racist).

I don't think he normalized things, but he forced the nation to talk about them, which is MUCH needed in order to actually fix things.

Guys lay off Brent we are angry but it isnt his fault.
 
Re: Election Results Thread

I have no idea why CBS is calling MN a tossup. Clinton is up 70K with 80% of the vote in. She will carry MN.

Not anymore. They were all passed over for Republicans.
