All that needs to be said about Hillary is that she LOST to Trump.
She was such a bad candidate that she actually lost to Trump. Trump turned democratic powerhouses to his side. Unbelieavble. Literally any other nominee would have wiped the floor with Trump.
This election proved that selective poling and the MSM are 100% biased in every single way.
Hillary got 6 million less votes than Obama did in 2012...if those 6 million had voted Hillary would be president...maybe people thought Hillary would run away with it because the MSM told everyone she would...OOPS

I think even Trump is shocked he won. Guy had a straight-up deer-in-headlights look during his first "tremendous" meeting with Barack Obama. I think the gravity of the situation is finally beginning to dawn on him.
What started as a narcissistic publicity stunt ended in the White House. Unbelievable.

Well if Hilary won and then under her lead it resulted in their lives becoming negatively impacted, they would play the "how was I suppose to know" innocent card just like they did with Obama.

He wanted to prove that the current system is a joke, even if it meant sacrificing his own image. Once you amass that much money, fixing the issues of America is more like a hobby than a job.

I agree with everything you said except the polls being biased. Everyone got this wrong. And Nate Silver gave Trump a 30% chance. Doesn't mean he didn't have a chance. It really means the 3 in 10 chance went Trump's way.

No ego? Trump is all ego, niqqa! The guy cares about nothing and nobody except himself and few of his closest buddies. How much of a sucker do you have to be to accept a guy with such a horrible employee treatment track record as a champion of the middle class?:eek:
Still, some good might come out of all this. Putin will probably be able to exploit Trump's stupidity (just like he could GWB's). Without USA backing up EU militarily, they won't be able to push around Russia so aggressively, so we're going back to more friendly and cooperative overtones. Tax cuts Trump intends to implement mean that he's going ahead with his original plan of printing piles of money over the next years, then defaulting on the US national debt, which will finally make other countries drop the dollar in their mutual trade. This could be net positive for the rest of the world, as American hegemony could easily collapse. You are indeed Rome, in its over-the-peak stages where decadence has bred stupid rulers.

Haha that was actually funny, he looked pretty shell-shocked by it all. Now he has to take a step down from his billionaire lifestyle to live in the white house and not be on celebrity apprentice, walking into change rooms while 19y/o women are changing and all the other privileges that came with his lifestyle. He now actually has to live a presidential lifestyle for the next 4 years, if he can make it that long.
He was probably thinking exactly what he said when he made his proposed Muslim ban - "What the hell is going on here!?"

Lol, what you mean is she got smeared, with fake scandal after fake scandal. Right down to the last minute with Comey re-opening the fake email scandal and voter machine rigging allegations in a state she ended up losing.
Travelgate! Filegate! Whitewater! Benghazi! Vince Foster! She defended a rapist and got him off! She was involved in watergate! Her staff member is in al-quaeda!
The media, the republicans, the alt right and Putin succeeded in smearing her enough to make her unlikable. Congrats to them. Yeesh.

Just because a black dude was in the White House for 8 years, that does not mean there was no racism during those 8 years.
Get out of your ****ing house and get a reality check real quick, bitch.
**** Hillary and her lobbies.

120 MILLION PEOPLE voted for one of these too! I MEAN, how ****ing retarded is this country?
They actualy either like Trump or Hillary. They don't have the ****ing courage and will to end this bi-partisan crap.

How did a black man become president TWICE with the popular vote if there was such rampant, feverish racism?
What comments did Trump make about black people, or Asians, or any other ethnic or racial minority besides wanting stricter boarder policies? To make people be citizens legally, and thus taxed.
Also, your dumb ass probably doesn't even realize Hillary called African Americans super predators in the 90s and played a role in bills that led to mass incarceration of blacks.
Just another woe is me, racist minority, playing the victim card.

You're such a fkn idiot. And the worst part is that you slurp a MJs dick every day on here.
Just because a portion of white people voted for Obama doesn't mean all racism has been eradicated and it isn't still a very prominent issue. Racial tension is at all time worse and all Trump has done is give these morons a reason to be racist.
Another problem with you dumbasses is that not supporting Trump doesn't mean I support Hillary. They are both shit people and most likely racist.
Just because your dumb white ass doesn't see racism daily doesn't mean black people don't experience it.
The fact that I have to explain to a grown ass man that racism is still an issue is absolutely pathetic. Grow tf up.

My opposition to Trump has nothing to do with race, xenophobia, homophobia or the like. It is because he is 100% unqualified, has never held a political office, and showed absolutely no signs that he even knew what the job of the POTUS entailed during the course of the campaign.
Don't get me wrong, I think he showed to have horrible character and he just seems like a terrible person in general. But my fears are more deep-seeded than that.
If you pulled him away from his surrogates and asked him to explain, on the spot, how a bill becomes a law, I'm not sure he could give you the correct answer. In fact, I'm pretty sure he couldn't.
So, you guys can continue to attack Clinton or call anyone with an opposing viewpoint a "cuck" like every other alt-right robot, but there is literally nothing you can say that will make Trump a man who should be holding a public office ... let alone President of the United States.
With that being said, I hope he is the greatest president ever, because I love this country and want it to continue being great. But I think this is a decision you're going to want to have back ... and you can't have it back. He's our president now. I hope for the best, fear the worst.

I thought it was percentage? Like he had more 1% more than Romney on black voters and 29% or 30% of Hispanic voters. That's different than overall turnout of voters. Dunno if this the case, but Romney may have had more votes of the minorities for him but less of a percentage.
Like if only 100 Hispanics voted, you only got 20% of them to vote for you, then you had 20 Hispanic votes. But if you had 10 Hispanic who voted, you get 30% of them to vote for you, then you had 3 Hispanic.
Plus the turnout in 2012 was bigger across the board, wasn't it? At least so far. Despite that, it's pretty shocking that he even got that much.
I don't think it's about race with Trump either on most ppl who voted for him.
With that being said, I hope he is the greatest president ever, because I love this country and want it to continue being great. But I think this is a decision you're going to want to have back ... and you can't have it back. He's our president now. I hope for the best, fear the worst.
I have a lot of worries with Trump on a several things. And Net Neutrality is in danger and that is going to suck since he and some of the republicans are against it. Hopefully he'll be a good pres and it won't be as bad as I think.

It really just depends on who gets their hands on him, imo. Like I explained above, I do not think he is prepared for the job and, even though he is a narcissist, I would assume he is able to recognize at least that much. Therefore, it is going to depend on who he surrounds himself with ... that will prove to be the story of his presidency.
It was said many months ago when he initially won the Republican primary that he went to John Kasich and told him he would give him complete control of foreign and domestic policies if he would accept being vice president. Although I respect Kasich for turning him down, I wish he would have accepted in hindsight.
I don't agree with Kasich on a ton when you get down to the actual issues, but I do think he is a good man who would work with both sides and help heal what has become a completely fractured country.
Now we're stuck with the likes of Mike Pence and Rudy Giuliani whispering in his ear. It's scary and, yes... Net Neutrality will be on the menu.
I just hope Trump proves me wrong, puts people in place who can be reasonable, and just relaxes in his position of figurehead. That's the best we can hope for, imho.

Whelp as you said, hope for the best and fear the worst. And I would rather John Kasich be the VP. And like you said, in hindsight, should've took the job.
I don't want a bad president. But some of the things the proposed in his campaign is a step backwards and against what I would like. I'm also wary on the trade deal polices he'll do. I just don't know what he'll try. And the relations of our allies. There's a lot of shit that's on the table. Clean air/global warming, Net Neutrality, increase tariffs on some countries and renegotiate trade deals, he wanted 70% of regulations cut but don't know which ones, healthcare reform again, whatever he'll defund stem cell research or not, and NATO.
Best of hope guys. Hopefully we'll prosper for it, but we're in for a ride of uncertainty. :cheers:

isnt this exactly the problem though,
people voted for trump because they are most likely sick and tired of bullshitting POLITICIANS that never keep there promises
this is the countries way of saying **** you we don't believe your bullshit propaganda anymore
dont get me wrong I believe what you are saying is right I am sure trump would have no idea about policies and procedures but most big ceos have no idea about the nitty gritty things that happen within there company
I believe Bernie was the man for the job, the politicians didn't like him though because he probably actually wanted to help other people not wage more wars

I have this sinking feeling for all his talk of being an "outsider" and draining the swamp, he's going to get manipulated like a sock puppet by some of these Washington elites.
The 60 Minutes interview didn't give me much hope. When pressed on why he has so many lobbyists on his transition team when that's what his whole campaign has been railing against, he gave some BS answer about how "they're all lobbyists, but I'll phase it out eventually."
Hopefully I'm wrong, maybe he can bring some actual change to Washington. But I surmise many of these politicians who stuck with him through the tough times of his campaign are expecting a little payback from the Donald in the form of satiating an agenda of them and their OWN lobbyists' interests at heart.
In the end, more people picked this man to be commander in chief (even then I've been hearing she might win the popular vote?) so I have to put my own person concerns with his agenda aside (pro-choice, environment/green energy, etc.) and trust he'll help this country prosper to some extent. :(

We're talking about a country that had an actor for President from 81-89.
George W Bush was a President, basically because his dad was the President.
The Terminator was Governor of California.
Jesse Ventura was Governor of Minnesota.
It's a pretty low bar for Trump, a savvy and experienced businessman, to better. LOL.

Reagan was an experienced politician, even if being governor is a different world all together as compared to being POTUS. He served two terms as governor of California and then ran (and was defeated by Gerald Ford) in the 1976 Republican Primary before he became president.
Reagan was a statesman who understood the way government works, at least. And, there are a lot of historians who believe he was overly influenced by his cabinet. There is a very famous video of him being scolded in front of Wall Street by his closest adviser, Don Regan.

The same applies to George W. Bush, but even with him, by the end of his two terms, we were embroiled in two stagnated wars that cost trillions of dollars, the power of the president and the state had grown exponentially, and the banking industry had almost completely collapsed.
There is nothing savvy about Trump. His most powerful attribute has been his brand, which he has used effectively over the years. He essentially leases out his name and is a reality television host. There will be a lot of people attempting to gain access (and thereby control) to him.
Everyone should be concerned. This was never a game and it could have dire consequences. I'm honestly not trying to scare anyone, but Trump is a man who -- in order to stay qualified for the office -- had to have his cell phone confiscated by campaign staff due to uncontrollable 3am twitter trolling.
This guy is going to have the mental fortitude to keep a firm grip on the highest seat in the free world? Either way, this country got what it wanted. Now just hope for the best. :(
What Pop, the media, Hillary, DNC, establishment republicans/democrats, Hollywood, and academia didn't realize is half the country is sick and tired of talk of sexism, racism, and whatever other "ism" is out there. They just want a decent paying job to put food on the table and pay the mortgage. Unfortunately for Pop and others above, Trump saw that need (especially in the rust belt states), connected with those people and earned their votes. I don't think Hillary even campaigned there until near the end.

Trump fed em some BS that they wanted to hear and they ate it up. But that was still something while Hillary didn't at all. Hillary's campaign's message didn't target those people and the people saw that.

Well, he also promised a whole lot of stuff that he won't ever be able to do (or will have horrible consequences if he does).
Basically he promised 365 days of sunshine for next year if he got elected, plus eating the cake and having it, too. And there were enough people who actually believed enough of this sh*t to vote for him.
It's easy to "target" people if you are willing to make promises without regards for reality.

Hillary's campaign message was that Trump was racist, sexist, ...ist and therefore unfit to be president and basically more of the same (continuation of Obama).
Trump campaigned on CHANGE - to repeal/replace Obamacare, drain the swamp, re-do trade deals, build a wall, jobs/economy, etc. Now, how much of that he can get done is another topic, but at least he spoke to the voters' concerns.

Not supporting Trump =/= supporting Hillary.
Always find out who the real retards are in these threads. Good to see Pop is not just an intelligent basketball mind, but an intelligent human mind as well.
