Nobody is talking about this in any of the media circles but the miscellaneous party candidates esp Gary Johnson who did not know "what" an Aleppo actually obtained more votes than the difference between Trump and Clinton. From what I've seen, most people who voted for Trump, voted for him because they supported Trump, not as a counter to Hillary. On the other hand, most people who voted for Johnson or Stein or other, voted because they couldn't bring themselves to vote for Hillary, and definitely did not want Trump.
Well in PA, OH, MI, WI, FL and NC, Trump's margin of victory was smaller than the vote totals for these other candidates. In other words, people really did not like and couldn't get behind Hillary. I have to believe that her negatives really weighed heavily on their minds as they voted. Despite this, Hillary got 200,000+ more votes than Trump. Meaning, we're once again in a sharply divided country, but our government doesn't reflect this division. ONLY bad things can come of this.

Who'da thought Jill Stein would have come from behind like that to steal the election?
No one - but no one - saw that coming.

The DJIA plunged by seven hundred points by mid-morning, as the brokerage houses and banks all suddenly realised that the huge bribes they have been paying Clinton for the last eight years have all gone to naught.
I'm joking. Joking bitterly, but yes they have been giving her between half a million and a million dollars per year for years, differing dependent on which brokerage house and bank we're talking about. Look it up on her "foundation" web site, and that's just the money she'll admit to.
As for the Dow, S&P-500, and Nasdaq are all up by more than a percentage point for this week alone. They've been faring rather well for the yearin spite of the generally bad economic newsrising by an average of almost 4%.
editing to correct myself: that "almost 4%" is for the
week
. For the
year
the total is a little less than 6%.

Because supporting your thesis is tough, but throwing adjectives is easy.

Looks sanity and common sense was the loser, as well as our wealth. Australia and Asian markets have dropped sharply already. Wait until the US wakes up tomorrow, they are going to have a long headache to overcome.
Let's hope they impeach Trump and he is kicked out.
Impeached for what? Im not trying to be an beep and I'm not a Trump supporter but it seems as though a lot of people are saying "impeach him please". But for what? Im literally asking because Im curious to know what your answer will be.
People on my Facebook all night have been saying "Clinton must win. If she doesn't the world is in trouble" and I comment and I sincerely ask why and all they're answering is "Because hes a vile man" but that isn't a good enough answer for me.
I mean, I just want to know what makes either candidate better then the other besides the fact that Hillary is a woman.
News outlets, as we speak, are acting as though the world has come to an end and that we're earthquakes and plagues are happening right now. I just want to know what makes Clinton better than Trump and what makes Trump better than Clinton?

We've seen what may be the biggest propoganda campaign in modern political history.

I seriously doubt he is as bad as they say he is.
The "they" you are referring to started almost exclusively among the democrat leadership who were all sitting around in an office throwing ideas into a hat and pulling out the juiciest ones.
We know they work this way because of the wiki dump of DNC emails in which their plotting and scheming were revealed. How nutty it seems, to say this, but it is true, they exposed themselves as a vast, left-wing conspiracy.
Reporters contacted the committee, got their talking points and their marching orders, and went out and reported what their talking points instructed them to say. How else would it be possible for sixteen different reporters on six different networks to come up with the notion of whining about George Bush's lack of "gravitas" all on the same weekend, including the shows that had been taped before the weekend? Please note that up until that weekend, no one had used that word in fifty years. If you think this is nutty, don't look at me but point your bony little fingers at the leadership. They've done this sort of garbage again and again, as it is possible to pick a weekend and do a pastiche of reporters all using exactly the same phrase. This is, of course, because they are hack writers of limited intelligence who haven't the brains to realise how bad they look when more than twenty of them start moaning and groaning, for example, "I would love to be talking about Hillary's emails but TRUMP said something so stupid I don't get to spend any time on those emails, we have to waste time covering Trump!" And yes, they used the exact same wording: "I would love to be covering Hillary's emails, but instead we have to cover" Needless to say, when they had finished ripping Trump over the "stupid thing" he had said, they never proceeded to take up the subject of those thirsted-after emails.
So with this kind of "feed the masses the memes and clichs" the democrat masses absorb the meme and take over and propagandise for them. Unpaid publicity, quite brilliant; and you are among the masses who buy into it because all your friends are saying it the same as you are.
You may have seen the reportage on how the DNC had manipulated the press to shove Bernie Sanders out of the race. People submitting their articles to the DNC for approval, an egregious example of refusing to think for themselves. Perhaps they got paid more for articles with approval than without.
There is a reason why Wasserman Schultz was told to resign, you know. This didn't come out of thin air.
I posted once before, that Trump isn't the monster the press would have you believe. I invited you all to listen to even a PART of the video I linked but needless to say, the HRC zombies on this board were not the least bit interested in learning something new when there wasn't the slightest prospect of its propping them up in their bias and bigotry. I will bet not one of them clicked on said link.
For those with a brain, here it is again:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw8c2Cq-vpg&t=3441s
The text is thoroughly researched, and thoroughly documented. Do not claim that you expect empty assertions like, "Waaa, waaaa, it isn't true" or "Nothing to see here move along" so there would be no point in listening to it. I get that sht from HRC supporters all the time; their minds are closed as tight as drums. No one in this video is attacking HRC, and no one is trying to defend Trump, nor make him out to be better than he deserves. But everybody ought to be interested in the truth, and you'll be amazed how wide is the gulf between what Trump said and how the reporters reported it. The distortions are deliberate, manipulative, and deceitful, and you really don't want to be their dupe any longer, right?
The Clinton campaign finally came up with a tape. Yes, it was disgusting, but since he talked exactly as I've seen a ton of you men on this board talking, you'd have a lot of gall trying to criticise him for it, especially the way the democrats have raged about it. It's evil to talk about molesting women, but apparently it isn't evil to do it, and it's electable when you're the wife of the evil rapist who trashes women publicly to cover for your rapist husband. But "Bill isn't running" is their favourite excuse. Right, his enabler is, and "we're making it okay to vote for the enabler."
At any rate, I've seen you guys boast to each other about how you'd love to force sex on Felicity or EBR, or shove your schmuck down her throat till she choked (spoken with great affection, of course!). I have always found this braggadocious garbage immature and nauseous, but it's the same crap I read when I played CounterStrike or CoD. And I don't believe there are women in this country who have "never heard" any men talk like this. They're liars.

They were just legal tactics imo. Trust me he probably gained something each time in return. Like he didnt have to pay tax for a number of years etc

I seriously doubt he is as bad as they say he is. They said similar things about Reagan too. Clinton imo would have broken America into small pieces. Also I do believe that Trump will make better deals for America, he has good business skills. Hillary would have been a second Obama if not worse

World markets don't like the US decision at all, the world is afraid of what this idiot could do in power and have responded accordingly.

Not really. The Democrats had the presidency, the house and the senate in the 111th Congress.
They didn't manage to blow us up or anything.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/111th_United_States_Congress
Nothing ever really changes in Washington, no matter who's in power.
Gore Vidal said it best, 'There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party and it has two right wings: Republican and Democrat.'

What makes you think I'd be a Democrat if I was a US citizen, or that I believe what either party has to say? I am simply concerned when all, or most, wings of a government fall under the control of a single party, regardless of which one it is.
That said, after posting this, I did some research and realised Trump will get plenty of opposition from the Republican side (perhaps too much, in some cases), so it all works out in the end.
You're suffering from delusions of adequacy.

That's too much power, no checks and balances.
This is a standard Democratic whine. You've been conned, Lith; don't fall for it.
No one on the dem side cries when the President is Democratic, the House is Democratic, and the Senate is Democratic. No sigh of relief that "Whew, bills might have gotten passed too easily! No checks or balances!" Rather, they cheer that "now we can get things done our way."
But switch the three units to the Republican side, and listen to the weeping and wailing! They moan and groan over the Republicans' "excess of power" and try to scare the electorate into fearing that laws might get passed too easily.
Some will reassure us, "Well sure, both sides do that, what do you expect?" but I have never heard one single repub comment that could be regarded as analogous. They're not competent enough to think this way. But that's what you'd expect from The Party That Tried to Destroy Its Own Nominee.

No one should have that much power, never mind an a-hole like Trump. It's why in Australia and the UK we have a seperation of power that keeps our Politicans in check, and our Courts are Independent - who have been known to throw out laws made by Aussie politicans that are illegal.
