Clinton, with her determination to steal the nomination from Bernie is the reason the Democrats lost. People *hate* Hillary. I only voted for her because Trump was clearly worse.
Good thing is Mexico still refuses to pay for the wall and no one's gonna make them! Even if it does get built they'll just dig holes, use ropes, or sail around in boats. Besides something could happen. On the other hand I will now prepare myself World War III and The Hunger Games. I mean Jennifer Lawrence warned us. Hope everyone who voted for him will now realize their mistake and regret their decision!
u realize they never had a choice in the wall... its paid for in tarrifs... holes are much harder to dig than u obviously understand. ropes u can't use if someone is watching the wall which was part of the wall... how much stupid can u try to show in one post? and sail around? lol so now ILLEGALS are buying sail boats? they gather all their toliet paper to make the sails? did they call the cubans to ask for drafts on how to make rafts? Russia already wants to improve relations with the us now that we have a real president... uuuut oooo. and its almost funny that u reference a pair of tits for ur advice on real world outcome... really does go to show how bright u are. katty perry had to cancel a concert already for her stupid by the way. so keep doing ur research
@NexAngelus It's a fucking joke. Besides Cubans sail into Florida all the time. Can't you tell what a joke is and that I'm not being serious? Apparently not!
@NexAngelus There's plenty of boats in Mexico and immigrants will paying anything to get in, Syrians do it all the time so do Cubans. Who says they have to use a sailboat? Again it's a fucking pun stupid!
some stick fense for wind or sand erorsion... i hope u could figure out how to get around it. i would have serious thoughts about ur mental capacities otheriwse. the wall is not built yet, nor is it manned. a better example would be a military base. lol go try to cross a military base wall. ill wait for u. let me know how it goes. by the way, i dont recommend u cross and critical areas as they are authorized to shoot u then. on the spot. i would tell u more but i kinda want to see u get shot lol. so try to compare the same things at least. a REAL wall to a real wall. not some erosion fence or some old killed off pier.
@NexAngelus Again Cubans sail in boats all the fucking time. You really think they can build a fucking wall in the ocean? Yeah again what i'm saying is a fucking joke, get that through your thick skull!
cubans are not mexicans... wow way to be a steryotical racist... lol. and they cross in RAFTS that barely make it without the help of the coast guard. if they were sunk like the somalians none of them would make it here. do try to pay attention to which discussion ur in, ur too young to be losing ur mind, focus little gerbil. focus. lol ;)
@NexAngelus Uh so Mexican's can't build boats? You realize an illegal is an illegal no matter if they are Cuban or Mexican. They'd figure out how to make a boat sooner or later. Does it really make you feel good that a 31 year old like you is talking down to a 20 year old?
Elections SHOULD be done by popular vote though, because that means one group in a state that traditionally votes the other way doesn't feel marginalized and not vote
Well this is a fact. Our country isn't perfect but is the best in the world. Our government works and it's proven by the fact that we have the oldest continuous form of government in the world. Our founding fathers got it right
@goaded that's right. We are the oldest continuous government. Name me another country with an older constitution. Britain was a monarchy when we adopted ours, Russia still had the Tsars, France was a monarchy. All African countries have been plagued with civil wars. Name me an older one
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palace_of_Westminster "The Palace of Westminster was the monarch's principal residence in the late Medieval period. The predecessor of Parliament, the Curia Regis (Royal Council), met in Westminster Hall (although it followed the King when he moved to other palaces). Simon de Montfort's parliament, the first to include representatives of the major towns, met at the Palace in 1265. The "Model Parliament", the first official Parliament of England, met there in 1295,[5] and almost all subsequent English Parliaments and then, after 1707, all British Parliaments have met at the Palace."
@mostlyghostly our Constitution is set up with electoral votes and you know it. Get over it there's nothing you can do. It's over. He will be president whether you protest, cut yourself, or throw a temper tantrum on the Whitehouse lawn
The majority spoke but was 'corrected' by a 17th century law favoring certain states over others: Clinton: 65,316,724 electoral votes Trump: 62,719,568 electoral votes More than 2 million people robbed of their votes that way Source: https://cookpolitical.com/story/10174
The SAME thing happened back in 2000 when Al Gore won the popular votes yet George W. Bush didn't. Bush won the electoral vote and my parents said they remember everyone being P I S S E D. The only difference is that no one was fearing their for their lives and futures, no one was having panic attacks, there weren't any protests or riots, the suicide hotlines weren't busy, Canada's immigration website was still up and running etc.
It's like a living nightmare but you got to know that the people who are angry how the last 8 years have been going is who voted him in office and Hillary Clinton didn't have a chance to win and this one online newspaper had her winning the election so i sent a email to them telling them they were so wrong with this election they gave people false information about who was leading in the election and you know they had Hillary winning between 312-336 electoral votes.

Before you start screaming how the Trump presidency is the worst thing since 9-11 or the civil war, give the fucker a chance.
Politicians say any old bullshit to get elected. He played to the darkest sides of the Republican psyche but no one actually expects him to build a fucking Mexican wall. And if you can't tell that, then holy shit, you have some learning to do.

the democrats message was far too narrow , they were focused on winning the votes of 1 or 2 large cities in most of the swing states , they completely forgot about the rest of the state. which allowed trump to win places like Michigan and ohio. trump was smart enough to realise that voters outside of Cleveland and Detroit feel ignored and forgotten by the democrats and looking for an alternative
Actually half of your concerns are miss placed I would even suggest that the alternative should have been more alarming, why have soo many people completely forgotten about the Clintons pre 2000, Clinton was/is against gay marriage is a rape enabler, and is accused of being part of a paedophile ring, if just the accusation is enough to make trump public enemy no.1 why isn't the reverse true
So first question. Did you vote? I ask because a hell of a lot of people who I hear complaining didn't.
Based on straight numbers, it would seem that democratic supporters were less unhappy with him than with their nominee - since it was democratic voters not turning out that turned the tide.
@jacquesvol What that says to me is that people would rather not vote than put their hat in the ring to fix things. The support for the republicans was about the same - it was the democrat supporters that gave them the win.
Especially in light of that, in my humble opinion, anyone who didn't vote can STFU.
I guess you think I don't have a clue what I'm talking about , like I haven't dealt with this decade after decade. Regardless of who's in that office , got to unite and speak up about against (injustices) together strongly united , NOT divided against each other playing around with gender wars etc...
2012, actually. I was 11 at the time. I was raised in a very political family, so I've been surrounded by politics since before I could walk. This year wa the first year I really explored each candidate in depth
Actually, i'm outraged with the supporters of other parties because they are just making the whole situation worse by protesting and shit. Trump is going to be your next president for 4 years. The people who are protesting are just idiots who need to accept the results and just move on. Trump could be good for you guys, but he could also be bad. Only time will tell.
@Thisperson98 Trump once said, “I’ve got black accountants at Trump Castle and Trump Plaza. Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.” which seems pretty damn racist.
u are so informed! i am just impressed! u must of read so much and gone through so many articles to find all that out!!! when u get bored can u make me a sammich?
that is normally how it works. one is good so the other never learns ;) even in kids. if the parents are good, many times the kids won't learn and the next generation kids will be good because they will hate their shitty parents cooking because their parents never really learned because "grandmas" cooking was awesome.
FalloutBoy2001... accually why he said that about the black guys or anyone else , was because he especially wants the short guys wearing yarmulkes ( Jewish ) who are always the best in the financial world to do accounting and he's close to the Jewish just for those reasons. I remember that too.
Accept the verdict of the People of America. I wanted Hillary but I got Trump. There is nothing to feel bad about it. Let him rule for 4 years. He has a right to be in the chair now.
Yes I have a lot of fears about the swing to the right and control of the supreme court - Democrats have to hold together and field a strong candidate in 2020.

If you really broke down this election campaign process and listened to the public... There was very little "pro-Clinton" talk.
There was plenty of pro-Trump, anti-Trump & anti-Clinton. But very little pro-Clinton from the everyday public.
I should have seen the writing on the wall on this election, noticing all the above throughout the campaigning.
Clinton, with her determination to steal the nomination from Bernie is the reason the Democrats lost. People *hate* Hillary. I only voted for her because Trump was clearly worse.

@NexAngelus Honestly this is not that hard to get around. I could get around this thing without a boat even.

Get over it. It's how democracy works. You're a sore loser and the majority spoke.
The majority elected Clinton, actually, but the electoral college elected Trump, if you look at the numbers.
Trump won the popular vote too so get over it
No, he didn't. she has a 200,000 vote lead
My bad. Elections aren't done by popular vote. More states supported him than her. get over it
Elections SHOULD be done by popular vote though, because that means one group in a state that traditionally votes the other way doesn't feel marginalized and not vote
That's how our government is set up. So now you want to change the government too? Get over it
So should we never change anything, even if it's damn stupid?
Well this is a fact. Our country isn't perfect but is the best in the world. Our government works and it's proven by the fact that we have the oldest continuous form of government in the world. Our founding fathers got it right
"Our country isn't perfect but is the best in the world" Oh my god that's a load of shit
You're free to leave and don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out
"we have the oldest continuous form of government in the world."
What? You've only been a country for a couple of centuries!
@goaded that's right. We are the oldest continuous government. Name me another country with an older constitution. Britain was a monarchy when we adopted ours, Russia still had the Tsars, France was a monarchy. All African countries have been plagued with civil wars. Name me an older one
Britain is still a monarchy (and I'd hope the Queen wouldn't accept someone like Trump as Prime Minister, bugger the consequences).
Apparently, "San Marino has been a continuous republic since 301 AD, although its current constitution is only about 400 years old."
@goaded it isn't a monarchy it's parliamentary
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK : "United Kingdom is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system of governance."
@goaded the Parliament was established after we adopted our government
There was no Parliament when we won independence
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palace_of_Westminster "The Palace of Westminster was the monarch's principal residence in the late Medieval period. The predecessor of Parliament, the Curia Regis (Royal Council), met in Westminster Hall (although it followed the King when he moved to other palaces).

The "Model Parliament", the first official Parliament of England, met there in 1295,[5] and almost all subsequent English Parliaments and then, after 1707, all British Parliaments have met at the Palace."
@goaded dude they have changed their form of government and adopted a new constitution after us. Get over it
You talk that way to a 15 year old?
WTF?
Do you even know what the word "majority" means? The majority didn't speak. If they did Trump wouldn't be president.
@mostlyghostly our Constitution is set up with electoral votes and you know it. Get over it there's nothing you can do. It's over. He will be president whether you protest, cut yourself, or throw a temper tantrum on the Whitehouse lawn
The majority spoke but was 'corrected' by a 17th century law favoring certain states over others:
Clinton: 65,316,724 electoral votes
Trump: 62,719,568 electoral votes
More than 2 million people robbed of their votes that way

@jacquesvol less people voted for clinton than obama. and apparently not enough voted for clinton.
Clinton 65,746,544 popular votes
Trump 62,904,682 popular votes

And, indeed:

And the 2mn MORE who voted Clinton but don't count "because they're city people" can STFU first?
@jacquesvol did they not vote? then they have earned the right to put their 2c in. It looks to me like the whole system is a million kinds of broken.
They voted but the electoral college system 'awards' the thinly populated states more electors.
And now men are saying " IMA GRAB HER BY THE PUSSY" this is worse then Arnold being Governor of California

Please do tell how a 15yo in 2016, "favored" a candidate for POTUS 8 years ago when you were seven years old. This I must hear.
2012, actually. I was 11 at the time. I was raised in a very political family, so I've been surrounded by politics since before I could walk. This year wa the first year I really explored each candidate in depth
I see. 👌
Maybe you can date his son... he's right there in the pic... or maybe he's too young
Either way don't worry by the time you can vote, he will be at half term
I have a boyfriend already, haha
Actually, i'm outraged with the supporters of other parties because they are just making the whole situation worse by protesting and shit. Trump is going to be your next president for 4 years.

Research doesn't matter. Most people that voted for him are sexist and racist just like him.
How is he a racist? No one has given me an example of him saying something racist.
@Thisperson98 Trump once said, “I’ve got black accountants at Trump Castle and Trump Plaza. Black guys counting my money! I hate it. The only kind of people I want counting my money are short guys that wear yarmulkes every day.” which seems pretty damn racist.

u are so informed! i am just impressed! u must of read so much and gone through so many articles to find all that out!!! when u get bored can u make me a sammich?
@NexAngelus you want something that is falling apart? I can't cook for shit
well as long as u keep improving :) thats all that matters
@NexAngelus I don't really intend to get that much better. My boyfriend's a pretty good cook, and I can make edible food, so it kinda works out
that is normally how it works. one is good so the other never learns ;) even in kids. if the parents are good, many times the kids won't learn and the next generation kids will be good because they will hate their shitty parents cooking because their parents never really learned because "grandmas" cooking was awesome.
@NexAngelus oh hell my dad burns everything he makes. My mother's a good cook though, but I just get too distracted (ADD/ADHD) to cook

your best friend can get all the healthcare he wants. no one is stopping him.
If the government wasn't involved we would al be able to afford healthcare
Contrary to popular belief, no one owes you anything.
