Wow what a sour response. I wrote that in about seven minutes on the toilet this morning.

While I may not be funny, I know about the electoral college. I know  that the Republicans have all the shit states that only have three electoral votes to pledge. If they're not three electoral votes little more than 4 or 5 electoral. college votes.

What's so difficult to understand about that? States Like North Dakota and South Dakota and Wyoming and Idaho and Montana. You know, all those inbred white states  that nobody lives in or wants to live in .

Pretty racist comment. "Shit states", no wonder our country is divided. Not everyone can live in NYC, Boston, Chicago, Detroit, LA, San Francisco.

About the polls, please take out the USA Today and ABC poll. They are severely flawed and asked a majority Democratic group. So not accurate. Take those polls out and the one where trump is winning and you are in that 3-5 range I assume.

No....just no....

First of all, you should probably hate subsidies for farms mr. conservative.

I am a white man who doesn't care for most white men....that I will own.

Have you ever left Chicago?  Met the people that create all the food and shit no one in your city is willing/capable to make?  Montana and Wyoming are gorgeous. They lack the urban component that makes Chicago the deadliest city in the country. I'll take a week on a ranch in Montana every time over a week in Chicago staring at concrete and paying 2x as much for mediocre food.

Haha bad food? Lost all credibility there.

I'm originally from northern Wisconsin....I've actually been on many a farm...not talented enough to contribute in any way though.

Eau Claire, WI to be exact. Spent time in Rice Lake and a bit in Rhinelander - also Shawno which is an Indian reservation.

You want to talk about beauty? Then all of those places beat Illinois.

Tbh, I don't really think it's close at all. That's just my feeling.

Just telling you the poll. You have 2 at double digits and everyone else is in that 2-6 range.

http://s18.postimg.org/o4w2ah6ih/polls.png

The national polling average has Clinton at +5.4%. Which makes sense to me.

This just in from the AP:

After only averaging a 4-6 point lead nationally, Clinton concedes election to Trump.

"I mean, lets face it" Clinton said to a small group of 10,000 supporters, "Trump could easily have 160, 170 electoral college votes by elections end."

She later went on to say that a potential "200 electoral college vote victory" was not "the mandate" she had  hoped for.

Ms. Clinton thanked her waning supporters in a way only she could, by announcing that she would bring her campaign And announce her candidacy for the 2020 election today! In addition, she'll be running in 2024 if that doesn't work out. Granted, she will be 108 years of age by then.

In the final concession to Trump, Clinton somberly stated that she would never carry states like North Dakota or Arkansas - states like Alaska or Nebraska. And right there alone was the solid 13 electoral college votes that she seeks. "Without those states, I see no reason to continue. Congratulations Mr.Trump, on your hard fought victory. I look forward to you doing things in the White House that will make people completely forget about my husband's indiscretions." 

Mr. Trump could not be reached for comment, as he is currently filming episodes of "You're Fired" for the next two weeks.

My how this conversation turns in circles.

Everyone always says Hillary has done nothing. But when I look at Trump, I see an abysmal failure, as well. What has he accomplished? Being  D-list celeb?

Tell you what, if I inherited as much money as he did I bet I could do as well as he has without trying that hard.

If he were an NFL QB, he'd be Joe Flacco at best.

GNR have a plane, therefore they can't afford Sorum, therefore the show is shit? Really?

That's not what I said.

I didn't say the show is shit - as if anything with Axl and Slash together could be shit.  Lets face it - they could put you, me, and miss piggy as the rest of the band and with Slash on guitar and Axl on vocals it's going to sound awesome.

Of course they can afford sorum, like they can afford the plane, and most anything else when this tour is bringing in 100s of millions. But I have to ask why when the tour makes so much money are decisions being made that reduce the quality in favour of profit.

Let's face it - the perfect solution both for authenticity and sound output would have been to have Adler on the AFD song, Sorum on UYI numbers and Frank on the CD tracks.

That would make the show the best it can be. But it didn't happen because of $ which is absolutely absurd when you consider how much money each of these people have.

At least with Adler there's health questions, and with Izzy there's reliability issues, but with Sorum it just turns out they'd rather not pay him what he is worth - even if it means we have lesser drumming. I can't respect that - especially when you look at the size of the entourage they do cart around the world.

Miss Piggy costs more than Adler

Even his main talking point, immigration, was totally different four years ago. Back then he was against every single thing he is for today.

To me this video only fortifies the idea that Trump is an opportunist. He saw a weak party (GOP) and an angry demographic inside that party that he could exploit. He then sharpened his message to appeal specifically to that subgroup. It's clear though that he doesn't  mean any of it.

The thing I don't understand is....why?

Do you think his motivations changed as he went through the process?

I really don't understand why he would  even want the job. He could continue to barely work for a living. Continue living the easy life.

There's not an ounce of altruism in the man. There's just something I can't quite put my finger on it, but something never felt truly real about his candidacy.

Something tells me the post election season will reveal a lot about his original goals.
