i highly doubt insurance companies are going to lower rates. the only year they stagnated in the past 30 years was last year.

Listening to Trump's call for unity and praise of Clinton sickens me, because I believe he actually means it. He played hatred up to win an election and he probably didn't mean most of what he said.
Quick Google shows that GoGo is wrong with regards to the Kiwi and the Banana.

Mitt Romney got 60.9 million votes and lost. Trump has 58.1million and is winning a landslide. Democrats stayed at home.

i think we would be foolish not to take him seriously at this point in regards to what he has been saying for years. he means it. he means it all.

Speaking for me, I like that he brings his partisan view point. There is no guessing his stance for the most part, and he follows it up with reasoning, like it or not. That is a good thing otherwise it is an echo chamber.

Well, if you can't afford private health insurance, and there's no federal plan any more, your rates are zero. That's lower.
You can go to the emergency room.

can someone link where nate called this? I get all my info from BSG. I woulda thought that would have been a discussion topic around here, but the only worrisome one we really talked about was the LATimes outlier.

He had it at like a 30-35% chance. It just takes a polling error, which happen, in extremely correlated states (PA/OH/MI/WI). If they misrepresent turnout, which they did, it's easy to see a trump path to victory.Bucky wrote:can someone link where nate called this? I get all my info from BSG.

Compare this to Sam Wang at Princeton Election Consortium who has had it 99% Clinton for ages.
Also LA Times is a national tracker and was also completely wrong since Clinton is going to win the popular vote.

i think his only moral is do whatever and say whatever it takes to win.
they wanted to get rid of the elites in washington and elected someone who bedazzles all the buildings he owns with his name in giant gold letters.
it is so incongruous it is beyond understanding. i say that with no hyperbole.

In the national exit poll: Who do you think is qualified to be president?
Trump 38%
Clinton 52%
Two things -- who knows how good the methodology is and "qualified" could be taken as faint praise at best.

He has flipped his stances more than any candidate I can ever remember.

he was elected on an openly racist platform. that will define every move he takes.
