Trump would be roasted for not conceding tonight if roles were reversed. But to be fair to her, she hasn't spent the last few months questioning the legitimacy of our electoral process.

they're not going to concede. there's enough absentee ballots that they can refer to that as reason why to keep things open.

Trump may end up with 304, not sure what she is fighting at this point.

Podesta just said they won't concede tonight. Curious to know when she'll accept the results and stop fundamentally undermining the democratic process.

Arpaio's best strategy would be to take a plea on the 19th and Trump will pardon him on the 20st of January 2017. Seriously do you think Trump would let one of his first supporters actually do any time? Do you think would care about any negative feedback, that's how he got elected?

I'm going through a lot right now, and my natural optimism normally keeps me afloat. That said, fuck you, America. Fuck you. Guy can't stream together 3 coherent sentences, but hey, "change", "he's not a politician", etc. Fuck you. I hate you. And Jill Stein voters can suck my asshole, you anti-science, low information assholes.

Anyway, how has everybody been? Long time no see.

Kerry did the same thing in 2004, sending out Edwards.

JFC Obama would have come out and done that himself. She sends someone out to say "we are so proud of her, she's done an amazing job". What a clueless candidate i voted for.

I think everyone knows I'm not a Clinton supporter, but we got a few months to do instant replay to make sure we get things right. Don't need to rehash the Bush/Gore thing. Let's do our best to get things right. for a 1st world nation, our elections are eerily similar to third world nations. Time for that to end.

Bush won the popular vote by a lot more than Trump will (if Trump wins it at all). And he won Ohio by a lot more than Trump will win any of the tipping point states. Wasn't really that close. But the early exits showed Kerry winning, so I guess his shop had a hard time adjusting. Also he's a piece of crap.

Sorta doubt Hillary even had a concession speech written for tonight. They didn't spend a single day campaigning in Wisconsin. They had no idea this was coming. I mean, I didn't either, but they had way more data than anyone on either side. The post mortems are going to be really interesting.

Not totally sure that Trump isn't just saying this, but it needs to be done. He won.
