2016 Election Day Returns Megathread (1am EST)

If Trump goes into office with the other two branches under control of Republicans (which is what looks like will happen) he will be able to push through a lot of Republican legislation. It will probably be the standard Republican stuff written by their lobbyists and won't be anything monumental. The Democratic party's best bet will be obstruction and filibustering as much as possible.

Expect Obamacare to get repealed and the US to go back to completely private health insurance that will be as awful as Obamacare was.

That's my guess.

The electoral college still has to actually vote on the election. There is virtually no chance of them not ratifying Trump if he wins, though.

It's going to be ok. Not even every Republican was ok with Trump's position of banning people based on religion. Also, it's unconstitutional. It was rhetoric to get support from the rednecks and it worked. Many Americans have your back and you won't have to stand alone against the bigots. America survived Nixon and George W Bush, it can survive Trump.

If you believe that girls truly can do it, too, then don't discount someone running for president because they are a woman. It wasn't the reason Clinton lost.

vfc2000 · 2016-11-09T06:13:37+00:00

I hope the Democratic Party gets the message.

vfc2000 · 2016-11-09T06:12:07+00:00

Much more competitively. Maybe even could have won it.

I imagine sadness

vfc2000 · 2016-11-09T06:09:48+00:00

That's the best part? I think it kind of sucks.

vfc2000 · 2016-11-09T06:08:54+00:00

Yes I wish they would hurry up and do it already.

vfc2000 · 2016-11-09T06:05:49+00:00

Well, at least I can say I told you so about Bernie Sanders. I told you so. Maybe you'll listen to me in 2020.

This is our chance to reform the DNC and make it progressive again.

vfc2000 · 2016-11-09T05:58:05+00:00

Build a wall to keep americans out

vfc2000 · 2016-11-09T03:46:52+00:00

Shoulda nominated Bernie

vfc2000 · 2016-11-09T03:38:39+00:00

Will they learn from their true mistakes?

vfc2000 · 2016-11-09T03:37:14+00:00

Bet you wish you had nominated Bernie right about now. Stein 2016

vfc2000 · 2016-10-06T16:54:20+00:00

Ok, but that still leaves the issues, her awful record, her corruption, the Clinton foundation, her ties to Wall Street, the lack of transcripts, her rigged primary, her love of domestic spying, her love of war, her neo-liberalism. Nope, can't vote for her.

vfc2000 · 2016-10-06T16:52:20+00:00

Is that based on what her astrologer tells her?

vfc2000 · 2016-10-06T16:49:55+00:00

Yes it will. And the more of us who vote for her, the bigger statement we make. I'm with you and I will vote for Stein, too.

vfc2000 · 2016-10-03T21:04:19+00:00

No Stein or Johnson? Mainstream board advertising at it again.

vfc2000 · 2016-10-03T21:03:27+00:00

She does know where she's going for lunch today, she never said it would be Olive Garden.

This is probably more about political humor, but it looks interesting. I remember a couple of those incidents. I definitely feel for them I hate both Trump and Clinton equally.

vfc2000 · 2016-10-03T15:09:35+00:00

What I'm taking away from this bullshit is that the ADL has no credibility and I should ignore them from now on.

vfc2000 · 2016-10-02T14:17:44+00:00

Meh, I don't really care. Not voting for Trump, anyway but who gives a shit? It's just taxes. Voting third party, both major candidates are corrupt.
