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.

No winner ever gets the majority of Americans to vote for them.
I guess you are talking about every man, women and child?

See the turnout percentages by election:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voter_turnout_in_the_United_States_presidential_elections#Other_eligibility_factors

Then click on the elections that a candidate had a shot at >50%.

One interesting and unrelated thing I noticed is that turnout is much worse nowadays where a bigger percentage of people are eligible to vote than the 1800's.

That the national popular vote does not decide the election? If that is what you mean I agree. Saying it is meaningless or no such thing is just inaccurate. Trump WON and we all get that. What he needs to get is that this is an extremely divided nation. Him telling himself the blacks, Hispanics, women and many other groups love him is just not reality.
Even if Hillary lost the popular it is still an extremely divided nation. If it was 62m-61m. Why does the fact that she won the popular any more of an indication.

Forget about HRC as she has a fork in her. Look at Trumps total compared to total amount of votes cast. He has a lot of work to do if he wants to win them over to make America greater.

Hes not going to win over the 65 million people that voted for Hillary. I doubt he would be able to win over just 20% of those people. No matter what he does. He certainly does have a lot of work to do and I hope he accomplishes that.
But the whole focus on a "divided America" is silly. America was called divided when BHO won in 2008 as well. He may have won the popular vote but there was a strong group of people who were "against" him as well. Just like BHO didnt do any work to win them over (as you say) I dont think Trump should. He should put plans and actions into place that can help this country and not worry about how this is seen by his opponents. Let the chips fall where they may, that is actually the only way he gets positive change accomplished and probably the only way he gains the approval of a majority of Americans. If he spends effort trying to win over his critics then he becomes less effective and wont win them over anyway

I was wondering why you and Drudge sounded so much the same.

I found this as an interesting contrast (hopefully) to Obamacare, which was also a major effort by a president, that was to have most of it's effect after the the election for his second term was over.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

With the whole UNSC debacle going on today, my vote for Trump doesn't look so bad.
If our kooky president will defend Israel and Jews, he's allowed to be a kook.

Vote delayed by Egypt now.
