2016 US Presidential Elections Thread [Trump Wins]

[Esper]

Once again, Indiana doesn't go one day without being a national embarrassment. I'm so disappointed in my state's love for punishment.

It's okay. You weren't a swing state at least where a few hundred people could change the fate of the whole country. There's a certain state that won't be named which seems bent on doing that over and over.

Fuck outta here with that bullshit. Florida is badass.

I hate you posers acting like people can't choose what they want. If people want Trump in Florida, so be it. Don't pretend like my state is somehow bad or whatever shit you're pretending. Secede Florida from the USA? My ass, looks like you want a war with whoever disagrees with you, and a war is what will happen with attitudes like that. We tried that in the 1800's, tell me how that went, eh?

Anyways, it looks like Trump is indeed going to win here, so you should all just suck it up and take it in stride.

I have a message to everyone regardless of whichever candidate wins...


DO IT. MOVE. LIKE YOU SAID YOU WILL.

I wouldn't be as salty if it wasn't for the fact we went Red on everything. We elected Mike Pence 2.0, and he's actually worse than him. I just have no faith in our state or country whatsoever.

Kek. I can feel bad things coming along, but running from problems doesn't always help.

Haha, and yet all who have no faith in the country usually stay.

Welp.





We're fucked.

trump is doing much better than expected, but Clinton is retaking Virginia.

Bernie would have been winning by a large margin. The Democratic party was too corporatist going into the election, too arrogant about this, and now they've got a very slight chance.

I would if I could, but between finances, my career, family, and my fiancee not wanting to leave I'm tied down to Indiana. If anything, I can keep performing promoting a progressive outlook for the families I serve in the community and hope it helps.

I am at a Trump rally in Manhattan, and thousands are chanting "We hate Muslims, we hate blacks, we want our great country back". Disgusting

This is stressing me out a lot, a Trump presidency would be awful for america sure (You don't have to be a legal genius to see all his awful policies, and the way they're inferior to Clinton's in every possible way for what they are)

But... his election would be directly effect people abroad, too. It empowers people who listen to his derogatory, regressive rhetoric both citizen and politician alike. That doesn't just stunt social progress, it quite literally puts people in danger.
An anti-lgbt, anti-migrant, anti-non-white government that Trump presents spreads his own views and justifies them elsewhere, here in australia the fringe right controlling our prime minister and his party will only get bolder, louder and more powerful with the election of Trump and that makes me genuinely upset for the future of my own country

Polls showed that Bernie would have beaten Trump, and its possible he could have; however, Bernie may have been too far left for the US. Despite the polls displaying those numbers, they were before the primaries even ended (too early), so I would bet my money on a Trump win against Bernie.

I think it would come down to people not wanting to pay Bernie's absurdly high tax rates. He even admitted his taxes would have risen taxes on the lower taxes.

It would have been very interesting: a left-wing populist vs. a right-wing populist

Yeah pretty much. They're all idiots, I'm really annoyed at them, they screwed us over.

 

[Judge Mandolore Shepard]

While looking at the list of states for where it is too early to call, I was very surprised that my home state of Washington is one of them.

I think its coming down to Michigan. If Clinton wins Michigan, she wins it all.

My final predictions before going to bed:

Trump will win Michigan. He is winning and the grey areas will most likely go trump.

Trump will win Arizona. It is not even close.

Trump will win Wisconsin. its 85% reporting... so most likely Trump.

Pennsylvania is really close. its 96% reporting, but Trump is only winning by 2,000 votes. Penn usually goes Democratic tho, so I do not know here.

Clinton will win Maine. There is no way she will lose Maine.

Clinton will win Minnesota. Same here.

Clinton will win New Hampshire. She just surpassed Trump and it usually goes democrat. There has been a trend of Clinton doing better and better there in the past hour or so.

Overall: Trump will win I think. Some of the polls and AI predictions that have never been wrong are going Trump too. Plus if you look at historical trends, presidencies tend to shift left and right. Its a right shift at the moment.

Just a reminder. Berine Sanders would have wiped the floor with Trump.

Just a reminder. Berine Sanders would have wiped the floor with Trump.

Bernie Sanders is Jewish, a socialist (i.e. a communist to Americans), pro-immigration, pro-minority and part of the "establishment". If you think he'd have been elected then you have no idea why people voted for Trump and why they didn't vote for Hillary.

I can't believe this result came to pass. There are so many people who have so much to answer for here and I hope the media are ashamed for the absolutely pivotal role they played in this. This is what happens when you spend an entire year telling people that having a private email server is an equal evil to the sum of everything brought against Donald Trump just so you can have a story.

Scared for the world right now.

I just found out Trump is at 259 which means he's nearly 10 away from the 270 needed to win. Well done America, you will find out what a huge mistake you made by electing what is going your country's worst-ever President.

I know how evil Trump is because of how he verbally attacked Mexicans, and then there's the immigration concerns. He's racist, xenophobic, and against the LGBTI community. Like Aliencommander said, a Trump presidency is definitely concerning for my home country of Australia as well.

Anyways, I guess we'll have to look forward to a lot of American residents moving out of the country.

Edit: Trump wins with 279 votes. We're going to have a bad future.
