Could be a bit of a run away with the EC, but the popular vote is razor thin and he may lose that one.

There was never going to be a landslide in popular vote for Trump, that is impossible. Most of the metropolitan areas were leaning heavy to Hillary and California votes weren't in yet, they were most likely going heavy Hillary. It was stunning to see Trump up by a million before the Cali votes came in though.

Huh?, if Trump wins, most markets will drop due to Trumps left field opinions, America will sink!

It's foolish to hope the new President is an absolute failure. Like I said my expectations are low but I hope his economic vision is successful. I hoped the same thing in Kansas after Brownback was elected, however the economy and state budget have been a shit show since his tax policies were implemented.

The stock markets dipping isn't a surprise. The markets dropped sharply when Obama won too, a lot more the first time than the second time.

Can't believe how civil things are on here right now. There was some really harsh nose-rubbing after the Obomney election (I could just be thinking of 1 poster that hasn't been around much lately).

Guys, about the popular vote question. It's razor thin and Arizona is only ~75% counted.
Might tip it back in his favor. Unless the truck drivers ran back to Mexico with the ballots after seeing the national results... ;)

He's currently projected to lose by a bit over 1% in the popular vote, which would make it the second biggest margin of popular vote defeat for a winning candidate in history.

Hows that working out for you?

I should of took that bet.

You called it, too TH, so congrats on that, Though I think like JC, you too were more on "the feels" of things rather than the rational analysis of how those feels translate to votes--like Sp33dy and LK were saying all this time.

That being said, I do hope that healthcare thing works out for you (sincerely). What happens when the Donald erases all your current options?

He will visit the emergency room and let the taxpayers foot the bill, there is always a safety net.

Thank you very much, with sincerity.

Open enrollment is here so I am going to pick a plan. I just hope I do not get sick or hurt between now and january.

Everyone in this county pays a hospital district tax on their property taxes.

This tax is to help provide care to people who do not have insurance.

It is socialized medicine. It should be nationalized. Our absolutely wretched health care is not even in the top 20 in the world but it remains number one in cost. For fock's sake, there are working models all around the world and yet here we are. Trump and his followers want to move away from socialized health care..... this means the lower middle class and poor will eventually be reduced to the emergency room for their free care. Ridiculous.

The best isn't cheap, in any category of anything.

Nope, but many nations have a higher average education level than us, without the most expensive university programs money can buy.

To raise the average lifespan of a populace, you start with the newborns, infants, and children. I suspect to increase the average intelligence/education level of a populace, you should similarly start at the bottom, not the top.

Naturally, the upper class will do fine, as they always have. I'm talking about public education; you Americans have socialist schools at least, right?
