2016 elections

We don't know that. We don't know what role the grand jury has played in this. All we know is that one has been involved in some way at some point. But we already knew McCabe had been referred to prosecutors, and this doesn't seem to add any information to that as far as I can tell. What in...

It seems like DNC bigwigs are finally confirming that Hillary is indeed done: "Joe Biden knew he could beat Hillary Clinton in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination but decided not to run because he feared a “stop at nothing” smear campaign by her supporters, he reveals in a new...

We all certainly remember that Sanders' supporters claimed the DNC had the thumb on the scale for Hillary. Now it seems that the thumb was Hillary's. It would be fair to say at this point that the 2016 Democratic Primary was flat out rigged...

https://www.yahoo.com/news/misogyny-played-role-election-loss-clinton-233904460.html "Hillary Clinton said Thursday that misogyny "certainly" played a role in her bruising defeat to Donald Trump in last year's US presidential election, giving her first public interview since that shock loss."...

Lets say that on planet X Hillary Clinton won the 2008 dem primaries instead of Obama. She then goes on to easily beat McCain that year and Romney in 2012. Obama most likely serves in her administration(SOS or some other position) and in 2016 is the Democratic nominee against Trump. Would Obama...

There's only one reason that I, a voter from a swing state, voted for Donald Trump. The 2020 election! Let's be honest, this was one unique election, an entertaining outsider republican with a rabid fan base vs a dull low energy establishment candidate with a fan base of soccer moms. In the...

I think it is worth asking this question as we heard a lot about how Sanders would have been sunk by his self-proclaimed "socialist" label. And yet, if we were to look at the states that Clinton won which would a Bernie Sanders presidential candidate lose? And looking at the states that Trump...

Now that there's no risk of conflict with the presidency, Hillary Clinton can focus on all the good work her totally-not-pay-for-play foundation is doing in the world. Oh, wait. Maybe not.

One of the major criticisms of the Democratic party this year was that Hillary Clinton was pretty much anointed as the "presumptive" nominee years ago, certainly after 2012, maybe after 2008, despite her weaknesses. Thought experiment: Suppose Hillary had announced early that one presidential...

Her campaign apparently stuck its thumb in the eye of the evangelicals: http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2016/12/why_hillary_clinton_bombed_with_evangelical_voters.html

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/u-s-officials-putin-personally-involved-u-s-election-hack-n696146 Because Putin really dislikes Clinton and he also figures anything that's bad for NATO is good for him.

I listen to news talk radio on a long weekend commute and the shorter weekday rides. Last night I tapped into a Mark Levin broadcast. He was not in full-on repetitive rant mode, so I listened. He was counting down the top electoral college victories in history. Trump's win was in the bottom 25...

Not really, but this is very interesting nonetheless, when you read the article pay attention to the quoted tweets.. http://www.msn.com/en-au/entertainment/celebrity/oprah-winfrey-faces-backlash-about-her-comments-following-donald-trumps-win/ar-AAkdHZV?li=AAgfLCP

So says Neil deGrasse Tyson on Stephen Colbert tonight, and I couldn't agree more. Isn't that what the JREF is/was all about? We have a hell of a lot more work to do.

I've spoken to a number of Americans today (I'm in Hawaii) and some have conjectured that Trump is so hated by the Republican establishment that at least some delegates won't cast a ballot for him. The rationale I've heard is that the GOP, or at least some of it, will be so satisfied with a...

Comments? Replies?

Which right will Americans lose first? I'm going abortion. Two new judges in the first two years - kaboom! It'll be back to 1930 and coat hangers in back alleys. Is there a pissing contest between muslins and christians to see which one can turn the clock back furthest?

There, I said it. Some market reactions so far: S&P futures off 5%. Oil down over 3%, gold up almost 5%, dollar down almost 4% against the yen but up against some other currencies. Mexican peso down almost 12% against the dollar. "Markets are Plunging around the World" says Bloomberg headline...

I'll go for one. :(

Piecemeal results will start coming in shortly... exit polls, comments from the field about turnout +/-, vote suppression complaints from the Dems, rigging complaints from the GOP.... CAN WE PLEASE USE THIS THREAD TO DISCUSS THE RESULTS AS THEY COME IN (INCLUDING ALL THE ABOVE-LISTED)? There...

By this I mean he acknowledges that he lost fair and square. I say almost certainly not.

Job done and dusted I think. No one goes against Springsteen

Illinois Election Judge caught for voter fraud Can't wait for Donald's reaction about how the election is being rigged!

It's simple: Record your prediction for the Electoral College results of the Presidential Election (currently scheduled for November 8). Break it down by state if you want. Go ahead and predict the popular vote as well. Pro/anti-candidate arguments aren't required because we have four...

Wasn't sure how to word this question. But I am wondering if polls might get a underestimate Trump actual support. So I'll preface this by saying Trump should not be president. I am right wing, but Hillary is the much better candidate. But I don't know that if I walked into a voting booth if I...

The ghostwriter for "The Art of The Deal" laments Trump's 200-word vocabulary. I think this is hyperbole; if you count articles, conjunctions, prepositions and pronouns I'm sure he knows more than 200 words. He can name at least 4 countries and has mastered a few more proper names, such as those...

Mixed in the stories about Hillary Clinton, you will see the personal,"feel good" stories. For example, there's the story of when she went undercover in the south to expose racism in school admissions. I read a story once about Clinton attending a memorial service in NY for a woman who as a...
