Tempra Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 So did the gaslighting of the American electorate by the media about Trump's chances of winning the past 6 weeks depress Clinton's voters or energize Trump's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Return of Rhaenys Kitten Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 19 minutes ago, Red Hermit said: I think there are a fair amount of people who are willing to give Trump a chance when he promises tax cuts, more entitlements, more defense spending, jobs, and a balanced budget. Doesn't make logical sense but there it is. This was McCain message in 08 and Romney in 12. And you left out more wars and more immigration. Look at what Trump's differences are.

Mæster Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 1 minute ago, The Anti-Targ said: Yes, I'm calling it. Trump has Michigan and Wisconson IMO, which makes things impossible for Hillary. It's still not yet 60% in WI nor 50% in MI. Surely there's hope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I voted remain and I think leaving the EU is a terrible idea but there are valid reasons to dislike the EU and if you value sovereignty over economic performance you could choose leave. Trump has pretty much no redeeming features whatsoever. I just can't see any reason why you'd pick him to be the US President. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Clinton can still win both; albeit in very close squeakers. But ya'll should probably just ignore me, turns out I've been entirely too bullish for the Dems.

DaveSumm Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 When your side wins, you get to tilt things a little your way. When they lose, things tilt the other way. But you never have to genuinely fear for the world when you lose. I hate to say it America but you're a complete fucking joke right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably just massive confirmation bias. This was very much a "in power" vs. "out of power" election. Time to swap chairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalbear Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 29 minutes ago, Frog Eater said: Its not a vote FOR Trump, it's a vote against the corrupt Clinton machine That doesn't appear to be accurate. People don't as a rule vote more than they ever have against candidates. They do it because they genuinely favor theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datepalm Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 On the other hand, Trump might be just for 4 years. Brexit fallout could take decades to disentangle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Hermit Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 If Trump wins he will be entering office with very high negatives. That makes me skeptical of how much he can really do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
