US Election 2016

No, he’s voting for her because great minds think alike.

That is true, but the real problem is: do they also have less unfluence?
Because a quick look online shows most websites explaining how Trump is doomed, is a racist and might be part of a Russian conspiracy, while there are no mentions of the rigged election of the Democrats’ candidate, of the scummy things going on witht he Clinton foundation and so on. I mean, the CNN even said that WIkileaks is illegal so it should not be considered a reliable source of information as they may be part of Putin’s plan to put Trump in charge (…).

I know it’s bollocks. You know it’s bollocks. But if that kind of marketing (because it’s not political propaganda, it’s just the lowest level of marketing) pushes votes in one direction, then the “credibility” of press doesn’t matter, it served its purpose, ar at least the purpose of the people with financial interests in the election.

She kicked his butt handily a third time, and he acted like a petulant toddler. And his statement about whether or not he would respect the outcome of the election speaks volumes about his attitude toward American democracy.

I get what you’re saying, but I think that would still leave a pretty large percentage of the population (I’d guess 20-40%) who would feel pretty disenfranchised. It’s one thing to run a country where people more or less believe that things work okay, but it’s another where a very significant percentage believe that the system is fundamentally broken. Then you’re talking about a group who think that they’re under occupation government. That’s when things could very well get very interesting. There was a poll a couple of years ago where something like 25% of people thought that secession/break up of the USA was inevitable and preferable. The number would surely be higher than that after this scenario, especially if Hillary were to go on and make her regime all about punishing the kinds of people who voted Trump. When people feel backed into a corner, all sorts of new options come into play.

No she didn’t. She was on the back foot the entire time and he Trump landed blow after blow in exposing her as the welfare, warfare and Wall Street candidate (and backer of international terrorism).

Why would Trump unequivocally support the outcome of the election? Norbert Hofer initially did that in Austria earlier this year, despite many people complaining that there were “electoral irregularities”. Then it came out that there was actually were “electoral irregularities”, which is why Austria is having another election in December because they believe in actual rule of law. We’re not talking about a third world nation here. If it happened there, it could (and does) happen elsewhere in the developed world.

Also, we have seen the lying and dying media complicit in trying to gaslight everyone by coaching participants in polls and over sampling Democrats in polls. If Trump gets in, he should send Peter Thiel after them like with Gawker. Furthermore, given how Bernie was treated in the primaries, we know that the Democrats are not above all sorts of shenanigans. Finally, Democrats are well known for engaging in general voter fraud with people who should not be voting; indeed, they’ve been using their entire immigration policy as way of importing a permanent voting bloc – that is a kind of fraud over the American people.

Nice try though.

That’s true, and pretty much exactly how the US Civil War came about after the foreseen and planned for results of the 1860 Democratic Convention. Options are more limited these days though.

The polls and analysts disagree with your assessment, GIT.

Hitler’s dead. The dead generally vote Democrat.

He’s also a non-citizen with no regard for borders. Likewise.

Come to think of it, Nazism is globalism minus the multicultural aspect. It’s also socialism plus crony capitalism.

Hitler knew how to get tough with Russia, though. For certain definitions of ‘tough’ that do not necessarily involve victory. Who else do we know like that?

Of course they do because they’re the lying and dying media complicit in it. We have seen them coaching participants in polls as well as sampling for polls in a skewed way. Then, you use that as justification.

Also, why would I trust analysts? They’re just as bought and paid for. When the neocons switch sides to be on your side, it should be a wakeup call that you’re on the wrong side.

I remember during one of the last Sanders/Clinton debates, public polls showed 60+% of people thinking Sanders looked better, then “analysts” started to write:“HILLARY DESTROYED BERSNI or whatever his name is spelled he doesn’t matter, go Lady Bill Clinton our lord and saviour”.

Maybe not literally my same words, but the definitely the same meaning.

What? Putin would prefer a guy who talks about cooperation, rather than a woman who threatens him?
It must be a conspiracy!

People still debate exactly what happened in 2000. This year looks like it could be a similar fiasco.

Also:

[quote]Norpoth’s forecast of a Trump victory mirrors what’s taking place in the betting markets, with British bookmakers William Hill revealing
last week that 65% of all bets on the market have backed Trump to win the election, a similar phenomenon to what happened before the Brexit vote, where the polls were proven completely wrong.[/quote]

What odds did William Hill give on Brexit?
They currently give 6/1 on Clinton and 1/4 on Trump.

I’m not even sure this should be against the law, but apparently it is, and she doesn’t care:

Kind of a Mickey mouse effort, if you ask me.

Interesting timing for interesting times:

[quote]The unusual timing of the release was the result of a Freedom of Information Act request that had been completed and was posted under standard FBI practice, according to a law enforcement official who asked not to be identified discussing internal matters. But the Clinton campaign immediately questioned it.

“Absent a FOIA litigation deadline, this is odd,” Clinton campaign spokesman Brian Fallon said on Twitter.[/quote]

Yes, it’s odd when they do their jobs instead of stonewalling.

Dunno what’s going on in Comey’s head but he seems to have turned on his masters with a vengeance.
