Topic Wiki

Thread summary:

Trump walks in a room.

1. Moshe123 shoots at him because he is pure evil, 2. ilherman+hachover jump in front of the bullets because Trump is our savior. 3. aygart tackles Moshe123 because Trump is better than HRC, 4. but Baruch can't stand Trump so he tells aygart he's crazy and Trump is a madman. 5. ExGingi would like to point out that who cares what he is, all that matters is the supreme court nominations. 6. Dan and others aren't really sure how this makes them feel plus they don't really want to drink poison. 7. Spoiler alert: Moshe123's gun was empty, it was just a blank.

And Freddie is in the back of the room just cooking his cholent. Until he announces that there are TWO menu choices, Pareve Cholent or Vegetable Lasagna. While etech0 figured out that they are both poisoned.


Repeat x100.

And then Hilary walks into the room with the most confidence a candidate has had in recent history. She is so confident that she eats both the Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna. Everyone is the room is aghast, they don't know how this happened, could it be Comey is behind this poisoning or was it that her Obamacare premiums were to high to get her the help she needed.

Everyone stared as she choked and was cast into oblivion on November, 8, 2016 the last day she was heard from in the public eye.

Moshe123, ilherman, hachover, Baruch, ExGingi, Dan, Freddie, etech0, and the rest of America are in total shock and hope that so long as Trump doesn't eat any Pareve Cholent and Vegetable Lasagna and stays true to his supreme court nominees this may be the greatest thing to happen since the CSR and GC's.

But remember this may be the beginning of the end...

P.S. Thanks to cognitive dissonance aygart, Michael Moore, and Scott Adams knew the whole time that Trump could win, unfortunately for JTZ he may be off DDF for the next 4 years due to his mandatory 3 times daily consumption of CROW!

Nov 8 : Time to edit the wiki. Biggest upset in American History according to Michael Isikoff.

As things turns out, the most prescient view on this election was that of Michael Moore! Though Scott Adams is also claiming a high view level of prescience.

Stupid question.
Has anyone ever regretted NOT voting for a current president?

Eg. Do you think a Democrat would ever change their affiliation? 
OTOH, a Trump voter can either be happy with Trump or they can get upset with any of the hundreds of decisions the president eventually makes and regret their vote. But most likely they still wouldn't have voted for Hillary even in hindsight.

So the next time you see someone "regret" their vote, it isn't the sign of any meaningful trend or worth any discussion, it's really the only possible option and meaningless.

I'm glad you realize that is s stupid question.  Since a current president won,  what would be the point of wishing you had voted for him?

Exactly my point. It's a rhetorical question.
No one ever wishes they voted for the sitting president.

So you will only see a trend in one direction.
And it's all meaningless because all that matters is the next election which will have a billion new variables.

I voted for Gore and then during Bush's presidency I realized I had been mistaken, that in hindsight GWB was in fact the better choice.

Some of those that didn't vote for RR might say the same.

Why would that be less when one's vote was for the incumbent?

The big question is what the final agreement will be.
That's the key. DACA is not a big concession. Let's see what he gets for it.
If you don't care why would you comment?
