What a gigantic bucket of fail.

1. You didn't read the article you just posted where they caution against a definitive Clinton victory
2. You didn't click the links in the article showing the election forecast scale with the very last predictions
3. You didn't look at the date of the article
4. You aren't even following the conversation

Honestly you should just go back to shitposting and thread crapping.

Their historical counterparts were also probably wrong that a demogogue like hitler can't possibly represent the good people of germany.

yea, well the odds were HEAVILY in her favor to win, and against a fuckwad like drumpf, it was an oddity, but he won. I really think it was her calling people deplorables that tipped it. You don't insult the voters, even though they are dimwits to believe anything drumpf says, about anything. You just don't do that. It alienates and pisses off too many people.
oh well, I don't think drumpf will be the worst president in history, but he may make a run for that title.

Once again, the guy who uses the best words has to stop and explain what he really meant and it was someone else's fault he was misunderstood. Sounds like a couple posters around here...

The next 4 years is going to be rather interesting. When the media,congress, American people, foreign leaders, etc start pressuring for actual thought out answers instead of some vague response. Is he going to have a meltdown since we don't understand what he actually meant? I can imagine anytime the media pressures him for a answer. He going to play it off to his supporters that the media is being dishonest and trying to attack him.

Seems to me most people no matter how dumb "know what he's talking about" eg. "those areas" not exactly vague. But supposedly "respectable" institutions often face a barrier with calling out pieces of shit for what they are, which is something Trump types take advantage of. For example it would be "controversial" for CNN to call Trump a completely moral degenerate and the religious right complete shams for voting against everything Jesus stood for, which is why the mainstream news can't live up to that factual standard.

The biggest fault with Trump is he doesn't know how to shutup. I am sure there were other presidents that doubted the intelligence community, but none of them stated their doubt so publicly.

When any of those groups start giving "actual thought out answers," maybe Trump will respond in kind.

That's hardly his biggest problem. I see the biggest issue with Trump is he doesn't know how to separate things to make them not be about him. His entire team won't shut up about the hacking not influencing the election. They can't stop and separate that from the actual act because of Trumps fears that it sends a message that his election is not legitimate.

Twitter should just ban him. It is in the nation's interest.

After being briefed Trump appears to now accept that Russia was behind the DNC hack but of course he still is going out of his way to claim that it had no effect on the election.

So now that even Trump doesn't seem to be disputing it anymore does anyone want to change their mind? (my guess is no)

They won't need to change their mind because they'll claim they were never at odds with the evidence in the first place, much like Trump will be claiming in a few days.

Haha, so true. It's like how the climate change deniers have started to shift to 'I was just asking questions and encouraging skepticism!!'.

I am just happy to see his mind can be changed. That is a good sign.

Sorry, but the inability to admit they were wrong and just constantly punting the blame onto someone else is not a good sign.

This is different. Even though the cold war ended 25 years ago the Trump demographic was raised on deep suspicion wrt Russia. That's the 40+ demographic, here-

http://www.businessinsider.com/exit...cted-but-trump-still-got-42-of-female-votes-1

As the reality of Russian effort sinks in that has to be more than a little discomfiting in a fundamental way. It's very hard to compartmentalize that, to forget about it because their basic attitude won't allow it. We don't trust the Russians, plain & simple. And we generally don't trust their friends, either.

And yet they trust Trump, or at least they did long enough to elect him.
