DECISION AMERICA 2016: The Election Results Thread

[Storekeeper]

I've kind of been saying this all along, but people assumed where the American people's head was at and it just was never based in realitt. There is a lot of pent-up frustration out there that has to do with economics, jobs, Etc. Many, many people left behind. Too many. This election was never going to be a blowout and Trump always had a good chance of winning.

IMHO it is nothing but 30+ years of right wing hate mongering against the Clintons ... Nothing to do with jobs, the economy or wars.

DOW futures down ~500 already! Wall St is shitting itself about the prospect of a Trump presidency.

Unfortunately a vote for Clinton not going to make much difference either.

A bit like an uneventful day on the San Andreas fault.

SK I think that you are right in the sense that for whatever reason Hillary Clinton was clearly a terrible person for the Democrats to nominate. Any other candidate and they walk away with this thing. However, I do think there is a lot of problems in the country with the middle class being hollowed out that leads to frustration being taken out in strange ways.

And let's be honest, Hillary Clinton ran an absolutely abysmal campaign. No policy agenda to speak of whatsoever. All I'm not Donald Trump. That's not a vision, and it's not deserving of the presidency in all honesty. And we are seeing the results of that play itself out right now. I think the post-mortems are going to be very interesting in this election, and I'm guessing they are going to have a lot to do with Hillary Clinton having no real explicit policy agenda.

You know when you're relying on Arizona to vote for a Democratic candidate your campaign is in big, big trouble

I'm going back to bed, this is going to take ages.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop.

Yea. See that. Wall street futures down around 3%.

A lot of angry voters. An angry, vengeful president bent on punishing his enemies. It's going to get interesting.

CNN projects GOP will hold House majority.

That was a given.

The Senate is tighter, but I think the Senate will remain (R).

It's almost always difficult for the same party to retain the Executive branch after 8 years in it.

As of Now, HRC still have the "math advantage."

If you think Americans are swamp shit.

Here is something for you

[Seekingasylum]

The $ and the stock markets will fall.

It can only get worse. Putin will now think, maybe, his re-taking of the Ukraine and, maybe, make a move on the Baltic states ain't such a bad idea assuming isolationist, hillbilly, dweezil - fucked, America won't give a shit because the only thing those Trumped dickheads care about is building a wall against spics, protectionist trade barriers against the world and fucking muslims up the ass.

I think New Zealand has just become the safe haven of choice again.

[david44]

Is the Trifecta possible House Senate and POTUS?

[bobo746]

[longway]

It's looking more and more deplorable as the night goes on.


Do you think billzebubba and hellary are making a dash for Mexico yet?

Life is good when you can hear libtards shrieking in the distance.

Missouri goes to Trump

Or perhaps it's thinking desperately that some billionaire who has never cared about anyone in his life but himself is somehow going to magically become a working-class champion who solves the issues of our times.
