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

[Mertron]

the problem, of course, is he gets to shape the Supreme Court for a next 40ish years

[Aerin]

We're in for an interesting couple of years

How's the Senate looking?

fucked

[Mertron]

guarantee someone is already in line to challenge marriage equality. kim davis gonna take a second run at her 15 minutes

[Fiye]

At this rate, she might not even get the popular vote

NYT predictor has had her popular vote up +1.1 meanwhile Trump's electorate has been slowly climbing up to 300.

[Twilight Sky]

How's the Senate looking?

House and Senate is for the reps. Dems going the way of the Dino.

[Sho]

On the other hand, the house and senate being controlled by the reps.. and they don't like Trump, so they could thwart any heinous thing he wants to do.

In theory.

Offer them enough money directly or through their collective states, and he easily changes minds. Real House of Cards type shit.

[Abandon]

what's the over/under you hear "nigger" from the crowd at his victory speech?

[thetruepandagod]

I'm really wondering how long until all those early Trump betters post their winnings on reddit/4chan. One dude put in like 50 grand when it was 2% chance or some shit.

pretty much need to pray whatever justice gets elected isn't actually all that insane, and for all the justices to stay on at least 4 more years until a new president gets elected.

[Xantavia]

At least those of us in Illinois did our part and it looks like we added a democrat senator.

[Cail]

Future markets halted

[Niiro]

some republicans go "we can't actually build a wall, impose a Muslim ban, and leave NATO, we're not that retarded"

problem is they probably are that retarded

Trump has proven his populist demagogue brand brings returns, the only thing stopping a red House and Senate from embracing him and all his support is their conscience.

Take that how you will.

[kisada]

so i wonder if the GOP voter suppression was the game changer for NC? would it really even matter? seems like trump is gonna take MI/PA anyway

[thetruepandagod]

Well let's see how many on the red side act with the grace that Grant had once shown.

"Sir, we are all Americans." As Lee left the house and rode away, Grant's men began cheering in celebration, but Grant ordered an immediate stop. "I at once sent word, however, to have it stopped," he said. "The Confederates were now our countrymen, and we did not want to exult over their downfall,"

[Sepukku]

It'll be interesting to see if there's any Brexit regret type apprehension tomorrow having elected a racist TV show host as leader of the free world.

Seeing the Senate stay red along with Trump winning though, as someone with a very expensive medical condition, I am petrified to death at what may come down the line when 'repeal and replace' Obamacare likely becomes this Spring 'repeal with a promise to one day replace'.
