US Politics/2016 Election Pick Your Poison Master Thread

I hope the Republicans remember this:

“Elections have consequences, and at the end of the day, I won.” – President Obama to House Republican Whip Eric Cantor, January 23, 2009.

Was thinking about it last night when Trump said " I'm.. for all Americans"

Fascinating article from Nate Silver

"America hasn’t put its demons — including racism, anti-Semitism and misogyny — behind it. White people still make up the vast majority of the electorate, particularly when considering their share of the Electoral College, and their votes usually determine the winner."

Now even Nate Silver is spewing this BS???

He always did. He was never anything but hard core liberal.

The only part of this I agree with is that White people are SICK of being called racists.

+1000

He has the eggs on his face together with CNN etc. He is in the same both. Listen to his last election broadcast. They talk about buy/hold/sell, they suggested selling Trump and buy Clinton all over the place. Now I am LMAO and he is  all over the place explaining his massive error.

I don't care for his liberal commentary. I love his analysis about the narrative today if 1 out every 100 voters voted for Clinton and not Trump.

Wow these protests are nuts.
Sore losers.

Unfortunately this is the radical left (which I think represents a larger % of the left, compared to how much the radical right is as a % of the right wing).

They are not nuts. This is who they are.

They believe in free speach, as long as it's on their side.
They believe in democracy, as long as they win.
They believe in human rights, as long as it fits their agenda. Or more accurately (which sums up the above) to them, anyone who doesn't believe like them, isn't human, so even animals have more rights than non-humans that look like humans.

Start @ 5:30 when the realization dawns, then jump to 7:50 when it hits full force.

Some (censored) foul language inside...

back during the primaries this is what I had written was the only rational reason to vote for trump in the primaries. I write that he would be like chemo against the anti free speech crowd. Painful but needed.. Maybe I will search for it later.

Isn't he supposedly a numbers and facts guy? Where is getting the racist statistics from?

Ironic how right after that post Moshe123 does exactly that.

[ExGingi]

The more I see this kind of reactions, the more I contrast it with the reactions to BHO winning the first time.

Even though, from a right-wing perspective, that was a real disaster and shift in American politics, having a President elect with a far-left "progressive" agenda and a majority in the house and senate, you didn't see these kinds of responses.

Even Rush Limbaugh, who set out the agenda to make BHO fail, was nowhere as radical as the left is.

The only explanation I can find about this is that the left-wing is rooted in arrogance and כפירה. They have an attitude of "we know what's right" and you better play along with us, and if you don't, well then you're not human, and יתוש קדמך!

Biggest winners will prolly be CEOs of Planned Parenthood and the ACLU, getting flooded with donations

They truly and sincerely believe they are enlightened, and scoff at anyone who disagrees with the liberal mindset. I now constantly hear them gripe that Trump was elected by the non-college educated. Sickening arrogance.

Biggest losers are the environmentalists. Anyone who believes global warming is an existential threat better start making contingency plans.

He was almost always a reputable statistician but as a pundit he doesn't hold back.
