Yes. His ground game was exceptional and people were emotionally attached to his campaign.
So we can ignore you then. Bye.
BTW, even though it was unlikely (30%), this was possible all the way and within the range of predicted outcomes. It's easy to dismiss polls just because they have been wrong, ignoring all the times they have been right. Also, I still think the polls were right. He just managed to mobilize the right people in the right states, Hillary didn't.
It's okay I was joking
Is it a requirement to work on Fox News that you look like a second-rate pornstar?
I burst out laughing at my desk
That was the result I was hoping for.
I know we won't get all we want, you never do, but we would have gotten a lot less iif Clinton had won.
Apparently, the American public surprised even the Trump internal polling. KellyAnne and team thought he may lose by 30 EVs.
How long before he brings back slavery?
What will you get now?
Well it worked so well for Jeb Bush and Hillary this time around......
yeah, except the last 2 polls were correct in picking Obama. This incessant need to rewrite history is mental.
Republican votes -
Bush - 50,456,002
Bush - 62,040,610
McCain - 59,948,323
Romney - 60,933,504
Trump - 59,265,360
- Bush got the evangelical AND a very good proportion of the Latino vote and still ended up with 62mil
- Romney had the Latino vote collapse and still got nearly 61mil
Merkel is on her way out and is as much to blame for Trump's victory as anyone.
Such is the divide in not just ideals and agendas but generally to the core of how people fundamentally think and process information and make decisions is collossal so much so that it's got the point where it's incredibly difficult to comprehend the opposite side.
And will surely be rewarded with a post.
I wonder if things would have played out any differently if both teams had accurate polls and campaigned accordingly. Probably not.
Not necessarily. Trump used Bannon to get what he wanted. Now that he has it, he isn't obliged to do anything for him. He may give him a post, or he may not.
On her way out? There is no way anyone else wins the elections 2017. And I'm saying that as a social democrat. And how on earth is she to blame for Trump?
Think the turnout was much lower than expected and that's what's threw off the polls and models.
I think he will get a second term.
Has Trump talked at all about invading Cuba?
I like krugmann.
Enough didn't turn up. Same with Brexit.
It's shitty that in most developed countries, elections are being decided by the declining part of the demographic because millennials won't turn up.
I am still amazed how much this election was about one party gaining power over the other one and what measures the losing party should/could take to gain that power back. It's like we are talking about 2 gangs. So little focus on genuine problems in the US and how to make life better for as many people as possible. I blame both parties for this.
No way. Unless he changes considerably, minorities will feck him in 2020. btw, there's still an open lawsuit against him. He may not even survive his first year of that one goes against him.
I like krugmann.

So nothing like Brexit then?
Hope he doesn't. A divided country cannot afford officials like him.
Third parties aren't to blame ...the DNC lost the election for the democrats when they decided to sabotage Bernie for the establishment candidate
Its akin to if the GOP sabotaged Trump and had Jeb! run. People are sick of the establishment and the powers that be don't quite grasp that yet.
Enough milennials.

Voter turn out in the presidency was terrible, but i'm sure the Brexit vote was a record turnout?
I could be wrong.
Obama is such a class act. He is going to be missed! The best US prez in my lifetime. Michelle Obama 2020!
From what? The ambiguous nonsense he spouted lacking any details?
I have a hope that Donald's ego is so fecking big he won't want to be remembered as a shite president. Maybe I'm way off but I do think it's likely he'll slowly reel in those 'promises'. All presidents do to an extent.
I think he will get the wall though.
"Joe hasn't.."
Oooooohhh burn.
Oooooohhh burn.
I remember being teased by some friends for being a football fans because of how ridiculous is the tribalism of supporting a bunch of people because they happen to wear the right colour. I kept arguing that this human nature and that at least if we are going to be idiots, it's better than it's in football as it's relatively harmless. Needless to say, I have been feeling quite smug as of late.
This feels so fecking surreal. A reality tv "star" being made POTUS. Anyone old enough to remember Reagan getting in? Did that feel anything like as weird?
Classy speech form Obama.
So depressing that Obama is going.
But youth turnout during the referendum was comparable to the 65+ turnout.
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/jul/02/brexit-referendum-voters-survey
Problem wasn't so much that they didn't vote but that the 18-24 demographic is smaller than the 65+ one. 'Millennials' just got outgunned.
I'm talking about the millennials portion of the vote.
He was a famous property magnate before being a reality TV star. And yes, people tried denigrating Regan because of his career in Hollywood, ignoring his time as governor of California.
