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!

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.

The Clinton strategy of degrading and dismissing the FBI as a political organization worked.

It's amazing how competent and powerful the Hillary and democratic machine is.

Just makes me more confident her abilities

It's more the media than her




I want someone who knows how to make moves and get ahead in life. Once her personal success is aligned with the job we should be good to go.
I would probably want her leading a company...

??? Come again? You not arguing that she isn't corrupt rather u like that she is successful at corrupting and getting away with whatever she wants and that is the very reason you think she will be good in the most powerful position in the world?? And regardless if you agree to her policies? Congrats You make moshe123 and illherman look reasonable

Interesting point (but not surprising). There are 50% more undecideds in the RCP avg now than in any of the previous 3 elections at about 8%

Even with the average polling error, it only happened once that the error made a difference between positive and negative, and that was in 2000 when Gore still lost.

So, errors aside, the polls have still predicted the winner every time.

Mr. Comey has botched plenty in the Clinton affair. Maybe the biggest was providing a shield for Justice Department shenanigans. Because if this feels sordid now, just wait for the actual Clinton Justice Department

I would say the good news for Trump is the similarity of this election to the 1980 election when the support of Reagan was severely underestimated. We could see the same thing this year.

Someone should make a booth like that at a "non-partisan" public voting center but have it say Vote Her, and say something about elections not being rigged...
