Canadian immigration website has crashed from all the Americans trying to find out how to become a Canadian. Classmates of mine already bought one way tickets, people really will be leaving in droves.

Can I bring my balsamic vinegar?

The good news is, since the nutters are satisfied now, we won't need to read tons of made-up shit and conspiracy crap any more :)

From that PoV, this win is actually a loss for sites like Infowars etc..

Sooooo... a permenant committee to investigate Bengazi and the missing emails, special prosecutor for HRC & the CF, anyone?

I'm hoping he drops at least some that stuff. He tried to pivot away from his more extreme statements before only to take it back when he realized what his voting base was. My hope is that now that he's in power, he actually shows a bit of the social moderate/liberal he was prior to running, and sticks to the issues (even though I think he's wrong on them). If he gets vindictive against HRC, that would be potentially very scary. Hopefully he'll be fine just to rub the win in her face and move on.

She won the primary and instead of rallying behind her and against trump you doubled down and acted like another whiny little bitch I know.

Trump didn't beat Hillary, Hillary beat herself by cozying up to neocons and the like. I'm in a solid state my vote for president didn't change the results.

If I was in a swing state I probably would've done the "pragmatic" thing and voted for Clinton.

If speaking out for the base that the establishment DNC has thrown overboard is being a "whiny bitch" to you then you're blithely ignorant of the political climate and hurting the rest of us....

I like how the media is pretending this isn't over. Trump has won. You guys lost all credibility. Go home with your tail between your legs. The people won. The swamp will be drained.

I'm not a Trump supporter -- nor am I a big fan of Hillary or American -- but seriously, it's been over since probably 10 pm. Trump's got this in the bag.

How illegal is it to offer my hand in marriage for monetary compensation... Wonder if my country's immigration department will flag me for even mentioning that. Meh, they're too busy processing immigration applications now.

All the poll rigging couldn't save the democrats. The people that laughed at us for thinking the polls were rigged must feel pretty stupid right now.

CBS News - there are five toss-ups up states now and Trump is leading in all 5 of them. HC needs a miracle.

Yeah, it actually isn't quite over yet, which is why I'm still up. The margins are razor thin.

She lost out huge with lowly educated whites, particularly males. Consider the correlation between that list and their priorities.
She wasn't going to win them anyway. Trump performed where Romney did not and Hillary lost where Obama had commanding leads.

They were just talking on CNN about how millions of Obama voters will have had to have voted Trump for the numbers to make sense.

The common theme is not of race but of change. Sanders understood this. This is a huge wake up call to the political insiders and eliticist who thought they were so smart.

So Asian countries are getting nervous because Trump wants them to pay more for defense and no go on TPP.

Can we please have a real solution to the health care now since Trump made it sound so easy to fix? You can't just open up insurance across state lines and think it will fix itself.

They weren't necessarily rigged, just incredibly flawed and built on bad assumptions that this election was a perfectly ordinary election. Even good scientists/modelers/etc can easily fuck up and assume their little pet equation/model is flawless.

Someone needs to make a compilation of the best media butthurt, I haven't been watching broadcasting at all, just checking out various forums and the NYT results.

So you're hoping it's a Dewey Wins moment?

Damn, but do I hope you're right even with the flack I'd catch from the establishment shills who were masturbating to pictures of $Hillary
