    Random auto correct sucks too. I'm sure we can all agree on that..

    Do you honestly think that the predicial policies really played a part in it? Those that voted for trump, there was not a surge in votes from 2012. If anything, and strictly keeping by the numbers, race, or what you describe as predicial votes, were in a steady decline this election cycle. I personally dismis the race or inequality card. But that's me. Sorry already going against my original cause for this thread... you are aloud one rebutle... haha kidding

    I really do think it was a vote against the status quo. Wether that's good or bad with Trump, I'll tell ya I'm rebulican and also wondering; WHAT THE FUCK???

    as I have admitted I voted for Trump, but i always sit here and think someone like him got to be president before someone like Rand Paul amongst others and i just shake my head

    Yep, it is hard to believe that she couldn't beat him. Guess America thinks less of her than they do him.

    She lost. Move on.

    False....she won the popular vote by 1,000,000+. They definitely think less of him.

    Oh I don't disagree. I'm not an Electoral College critic. It didn't breakdown here. It actually worked exactly as it was intended too. You can't just win a few big states/big cities and win the presidency.

    Al Gern also won popular vote and he moved on to become a prominent author and environmental activist, whose work in climate change activism earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007.
    Maybe Hilliary can do the same.

    She won the popular vote. That means MORE people voted for her than Trump. That means it doesn't make sense to say that America thinks less of her than Trump since MORE people voted for her.

    Honest question, honest answers.

    Because close enough to half the eligible voting public chose not to for at least that race.

    Speak for yourself

    Living your life in fear in general and of a doomed future in particular is a sad way to lead your life.

    You're right. They just were crybabies. 8 years of people bitching and crying about Obama, and they weren't called out.

    I could say that the left is what remains after the morale decay and that their rioters are paid by a foreign entity and that their entire policy can only be upheld through the use of force (guns that you so claim to hate) because nobody would ever do it voluntarily.

    Oh wait, I have. "Racism" is STILL chosen by American as a lesser evil. The country would rather be called a racist (even if they are not) by a wacko leftist than be an actual leftist or be forced to follow leftist policies.

    You're overgeneralizing with your 'our country' reference. You've now made a conclusion about the election and you're going to force everything to fit that conclusion.
