I think this is right

Also one specific white who deserves a lot of blame is Hilary fucking Clinton who should go down as one of the biggest assholes in political history for not being able to beat this guy with what should have been a demographic advantage, stumping from popular populist dem opponent, lots of active support from beloved incumbent and first lady. I know people are sexist too but Liz warren or some other plausible, non-scandal generating female candidate probably wins easily

Fuck whites who are an embarrassment but also fuck her. Loser

You have a point. I am disappointed in her and her team for not having any idea this was coming. They seemed confident especially in the last few days

I may never fully wrap my head around the fact that Trump meme magic'd his way to the presidency

Don't forget her huge advantage in staff, offices and GROUND GAME. Dems did everything to serve this up for her on a silver platter. Just couldn't get enough people to like her.

A father proudly walked into my kids' day care this evening wearing a "Clinton for Prison 2016" t-shirt. He was in front of me and held the door for me. I looked at him, looked down at his shirt, and just shook my head while mumbling "thanks."

Best I could do.

Bernie:

“Donald Trump tapped into the anger of a declining middle class that is sick and tired of establishment economics, establishment politics and the establishment media. People are tired of working longer hours for lower wages, of seeing decent paying jobs go to China and other low-wage countries, of billionaires not paying any federal income taxes and of not being able to afford a college education for their kids - all while the very rich become much richer.

“To the degree that Mr. Trump is serious about pursuing policies that improve the lives of working families in this country, I and other progressives are prepared to work with him. To the degree that he pursues racist, sexist, xenophobic and anti-environment policies, we will vigorously oppose him.”


Pretty concise and accurate. If Hillary was up against an establishment Republican, she probably would've won. This became a populist election at least a year ago though and the Republican populist won his nomination.

I don't think there's anything to gain from Monday morning QBing this anymore though.

Speaking of him, hindsight and all, but he's looking like a really shitty VP pick. Who exactly was going to be invigorated to vote because of him?

If there's anything that's going to make me cry this election, this is it.

They are literally going to destroy the planet without ever hitting the nuke button. Anyone who is a climate denier at this point is just stupid. There's no way around it.

Maybe they should talk to the military because they sure know what's happening. They are already having to make plans to modify naval bases due to rising sea levels. Go to Florida and just tour the coast for God's sake.

I still feel like shit



she never should have been the nominee. People voted for her, so I know she earned it, but people should have been savvy enough to see this would happen. She had 30 years of baggage -- unfair baggage, most of it, but baggage nonetheless.

And I'm really ticked that the GOP is being rewarded for not allowing the curt appointee to get a vote. That should have been an Obama appointee and now we're stuck with some partisan hack for 20-30 years.

So, I'm a bit confused. I've been crazy busy this week (thank God), so I must have missed something. I've read that turnout was down in term of overall numbers, but it seems like turnout was up during the runup to the election and on the day itself. I'm sure the votes didn't just disappear (or did they -- I'm looking at you, Russia), so what happened. Were reports of high turnout just wrong?
