What is their to learn? You act as though the Republican Party has reinvented itself.
You're not even trying to learn from this. Step back. You seem to think you're really smart. Prove it. There's something to learn from everything.

I lean far left. Not surprising very little of my beliefs will ever overlap with the Republican party's ideology. I could have understood if Romney won, or even Cruz (even though I couldn't stand his ass.) But to elect Donald Trump is just lunacy in my book.
I'm a fiscal conservative and a social liberal. My dislike for both candidates is well documented (though some took it as favoring Trump since Trump bashing was/is fairly popular here). I'll be bashing him with you if he screws this up; however I suspect things will be the same as they have been for the last 20 years. There have been peaks and valleys along the way, but the last 20 years have been fairly fucked up in some way or another and that will continue and would have no matter who won.

Instead of insulting the people that voted for Trump, why don't you stop and think about why they voted for Trump and why people weren't inspired to vote for Hillary. Once you eliminate the fringes on both ends, there's a lot to be learned if you want to learn it. I don't even understand how Trump could be nominated, but he was. Now it appears he won. This election wasn't won or lost by the fringes; it was won and lost by those in the middle. Try to understand why they did what they did and stop assuming anyone that voted for him is a racist or whatever other insulting thing you want to toss out there.

I don't think making zero sense, catering to xenophobes and telling dumb people what they want to hear is a great campaign, merely dishonesty that morons chose to believe. Now, when Trump fails to do any of the things he promises, racist white people will just get even more pissed off and enraged and continue to direct their fury at the same they did here. Because THEY can't be wrong, right?
Democrats have their issues, without question, but using ego, power and celebrity to become president without any honesty or forward thinking isn't exactly groundbreaking campaigning. If anyone thinks Trump is gonna be thinking about anything but jerking off all over himself stroking his own ego that he gets to be the most powerful person in the world, you're nuts. How in God's name can anyone think this man actually cares about anyone? He just said what he had to say to convince some people who never made it through high school to flip.
You're implying she cared about someone other than herself, which is ridiculous. She was all about her and her ego isn't any smaller just because she's a woman. You think he won based on HS dropouts? You keep telling yourself that. She inspired nobody. She couldn't get support from Bernie's people.

Wow, someone on ABC just mentioned a good point.
Donald Trump went up against Jeb Bush, who spent $110 million & beat him keeping him to only 4 delegates.
He then took on all other Republicans and smoked them.
He then took on the Clinton machine who outspent him 5-1, had a much larger campaign and support structure & regional offices, and took them on & won.It'd be an interesting study has to how such a typically "badly run campaign" just won & was so effective to the people?
I've been saying it for months. People are sick of the establishment. Even I underestimated how much they were sick of it as I didn't expect Trump to win and I figured it would have to be someone less polarizing.

NY Times gives PA to Trump. If that holds (barring a miracle), it's over.

I think she killed herself. If she hadn't established that she was the establishment and she will say whatever, the last two weeks would have done nothing. She created her issues and whether the last minute stuff was accurate or not, it built off of the person she is, which is a bad person. She did it to herself.

Bernie would have wrecked the economy, Hillary was less likely to. I think Trump is less likely than either of them...it may happen regardless of who won tbh, but whoever wins will get blamed.
