If Trump wins, the Dems have nobody to blame but themselves.

The Democrats are not responsible for one's sense of basic human decency.


They are responsible for letting their party be controlled by the Clinton machine.

True, but the Republicans let a fucking reality TV star hijack the party. That's a worse failure.

On the plus side, if Trump wins this, maybe in the fallout of his reign the political actors will finally realize, "Hang on, we can't go on like this. "
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

So Colbert is supposed to do a comedy report at 11 pm (ET). Don't think it's gonna be that funny. :cry:

I think I'm going to blame the imbeciles who voted Trump, and the "moderates" who seem to think that exposing your e-mails to the Russians is worse than (at the very least) implicitly colluding with the Russians.  There are times in history when the people solidly on one side are right, and the "moderates" are just imbeciles to a lesser degree.  We're living in one of those times.

MArgin is down to 1% in Wisconsin. I think this will turn on how big the turnout is in Detrioit and the suburbs. Michigan will be the deciding state.

Maybe you should cool it with your half assed predictions?  :)

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

They seem in good spirits on Fox.

Are there strong personalities getting elected in House and Senate? It may be time to reinvest in a de-Presidentialization of the American political system - or at least its representation. Not that I see that happening in the next four years.

Trump seems to have taken Ohio 54-46.

I have a feeling their attempt to flip the well off Republican suburbs around Columbus failed.

Trump's policies are going to lose the rich a shit ton of money.
