2016 USA Presidential election thread II: And. Here. We. Go!

[Niiro]

Trump outsmarting Clinton in this election is pathetic.

People need to stop blaming Clinton and the DNC, they didn't vote for Trump.

We made this happen.

[Guitarman]

OR/WA going to Hilary is a foregone conclusion. We've been blue states for as long as i can remember.

[AidenCarby]

ITS HAPPENING

[Yuri-G]

Do you really think Trump wants to be anything other than president in name only? I would worry he would let Pence try to enact policies he wants. And look at what he thinks about anybody who isn't a straight, white christian.

Admittedly, Pence is much more frightening than Trump.

Harry Enten about to give a video update on 538....

CBSN calling NC for Trump

NBC calling NC for trump. voter suppression might have been the difference.

IDK, am I really the only one who isn't all that worried? Don't get me wrong, my emotional brain is doing the crazy worry anxiety nutso thing. But my rational brain is like "Did you really think the problems that gave rise to Trump would go away if Hillary won? And do you really think he's going to do that much damage in four years?"


I mean yeah, this could be a fairly dark period in our country's history, but unless you're a terminal cancer patient I wouldn't worry too much about that.


IDK. Worst that can happen is I eat my words, and if that's the case then it was going to happen anyway. I'm trying to be zen about this because if I don't, I'll lose my shit something hardcore :3

Outside of Putin becoming more emboldened than ever I really don't see anyone in country being effected by much of anything. Even the prospect of him electing supreme court nominees doesn't terrify me for some reason as his entire platform has been playing to a crowd. I am legitimately curious what happens when he already has the crowd and where his true political ideology lay. But ya, there is no way I am thinking he has any competency in regards to foreign policy whatsoever.

Trump just got NC.

Fuck fucking fuck

Really? Not Campaigning in WI and MI was a smart move to you?

Yea, electing the most hated women in politics with a shit ton of baggage was not a bad decision.

[Omniyoji]

Hmmm.... I wonder if Ron Paul would've had a shot....

[Dantrag]

Trump just got NC.

Fuck fucking fuck

Looks like Cooper is losing in the state too. ha...ha...

[Ezek]

This is might night until 630 am est. I'm like one of 4 here hoping for Clinton.

We selfies now. I'm on recovery since I'm a shift worker so I have the day off to shitpost about the election.

Exactly, man. Exactly. You get it.


I mean maybe we're wrong, people like you and I - but like I said, if that's the case then so be it. No sense obsessing over the possibility. But I think you hit the nail pretty hard on the head right there.

This country is going to shit.

It was already going to shit, though. The fact that Trump was viable as a candidate was far more indicative of that fact than whether or not he wins.
