It's over! 2016 Election Night Results Thread!

CBS News is showing HC headquarter and not one of them is smilling.

The Penn difference is like 2500 votes. Crazy!

 

[HomerJS]

Does this mean I can start killing blue haired sjw's when the demand a safe space?

maybe not but fingering strange women against their will has now become acceptable.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I agree. A better theoretical is a VP Sanders.

That could have won it for her too, and I know many Trump people were worried about it at the time. But nooo, you get all the "Haha good riddance, that guy isn't a real Dem anyways" from certain members here, and now they're going to be completely buttflustered that it turned off some potential voters.

 

[agent00f]

So no deal? LOL. Lying coward. All talk and no back bone to back up when being called out.

Given your sort take pride in lack of book learning and ignorance/stupidity in general it's a mystery why you dispute this.

 

[blankslate]

Shall we check your post history and your social media history espousing the virtues of voting for Hillary? Because I'm pretty sure we wouldn't find any but we would find you talking trash. You have no one but to blame but yourself, Bernie bro.

Dumbest fucking idiots ever! At least trump supporters got their guy elected.

If you don't think Senator Sanders wouldn't have done better in the general than Senator/Secretary of State Clinton then you're just a HIllary Ho

GL to you all. If I were there my larger fear would be how much influence his religioustard running mate ends up with. I don't know the ins and outs of how civil rights and protections are given/repealed. I understand it's primarily the supreme court maybe ? Once they fill it with the right slant, is it possible you see abortion rights, gay marriage rights etc. repealed ? Or are those permanent ?

That religious whackjob is what I would be most concerned about and if human rights go backwards. That and if every crazy thing Trump said he would do was actually a serious intention... If so, shitshow inbound.

It's entirely up to Trump how much influence Pence would have. VPs have very little Constitutional power. They can break ties in the Senate and wait for the President to die. That's about it. FDR parked his VPs on ice. Bush I, Clinton, and Bush 2 provided unprecedented roles for their VPs. Obama dialed it back a bit.

 

[Kazukian]

I've also pointed out numerous times that democracy is flawed due to its reliance on populism, which is a lagging indicator of progress.



I don't doubt you can keep bragging about just how goddamn stupid you are.

It's worth it to watch you assholes eat crow.

Think about it, you and yours were bullying people that didn't agree with you, of course people just got quiet and told you to fuck off at the polling booth.

I've been watching the MSM and social media actively try to subvert public opinion for months, trends on twitter and Facebook just suddenly disappear. That's propaganda.

 

[flexy]

I also thought they were wrong, and I still think that Trump is the "wrong" choice on so many levels and I am 100% convinced it will soon show WHY he is wrong.

BUT: I respect even the worst Trump supporters for their vote against corruption, career politicians etc. <- I do in fact think there is nothing wrong with that. It was clear that many in America are tired of this, and this is the logical result.

You cannot face 50% or more of Americans who are angry and give them a candidate like Clinton who INDEED represented all those negative things, corruption, Wallstreet etc. How should that work? OF COURSE she'd be bound to lose. I am still claiming that Bernie would have won since it was him who actually COULD give the people what they wanted, change etc., he was like the "Anti-Trump" but also anti-establishment...and this is what people made vote Trump this time.

Clinton merely represented "the same old", but people were tired of it.

Wellness check on Perk too please

I'm fine. Thanks for your concern, though, it's touching.

Just like another poster said to you above. Just STFU already, newbie. Grow a pair. Good luck, you are going to need it.

 

[SP33Demon]

Yeah, it would have been his. I'm fairly conservative, but in a Bush vs Bernie I would've gone Bernie. Trump vs Bernie would've been more difficult due to SCOTUS appointments, but may have gone Bernie.

This whole line of reasoning was derided repeatedly by the local "liberal" forum thugs as being faux concern for Bernie. Judging by the leaked DNC / HRC emails, it's almost like people here were trained lie / misdirect / deceive by the DNC.

There are definitely some posters here that I bet were planted by the DNC. The usual suspects who aren't man enough to show their faces in defeat (of course).

There are plenty of wealthy Ds that would have swallowed a bitter pill and gone to R to preserve wealth rather than going Bernie. He'd lose the I vote far worse than H did.

 

[Bitek]

I can just see Bernie with his head between his knees softly slapping his forehead over and over again, thinking to himself "if only I had won the primary this election would be all mine".

He wasn't going to win. No way the country was going to vote for a doddering old socialist who was promising huge tax increases and govt takeover.

This was always going to be a nail-biter. Bill Maher and Micheal Moore have been screaming it all year.

History is strongly against a 3rd term, and Hillary is a terrible closer, but the D bench was shallow.

 

[kage69]

It's over.

 

[Jaskalas]

So Clinton was depending on the Latino vote and woman vote, unfortunately it never seems Latinos constantly vote in huge numbers.

Drug and gun convictions from gang affiliation early on in life?
It's not a nice place near the border.

The top 0.1% of America only gets 0.1% of the popular vote though. I think it would be hard for them to pump out enough ads to convince blue-collar people to stay away.

I wonder though, how many posters of this board are immigrant from a socialist country?

 

[master_shake_]

Trump up 864 in NH now

PA up 25000+ now

 

[IronWing]

My local statehouse races are showing the results of gerrymandering. All the red districts are going red by 70% and the blue districts are going blue by 70%, where there are even opponents bothering to run.

 

[shortylickens]

I'm fine. Thanks for your concern, though, it's touching.

Well, you're not fine.
But social services has blocked my phone number.

 

[LegendKiller]

Trump just jumped +26k in PA

 

[TakeNoPrisoners]

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.

Doubtful. They would be swamped by the numbers of people across the entire spectrum who supported Bernie. Seeing as he was the only true anti-establishment candidate in the race, I think you couldn't be more wrong.
