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.

Another data point coming out from tonight, Obama did nothing to help Ds. Not a single D who invited him to rally with has won...
That is very typical for an ex pres

What I consider anti gay is typically only part of white supremacist type ideology.
You need to get out more.

I don't consider someone feeling the lifestyle is immoral to be anti gay unless they feel it is actionable.
What do call someone who votes against someone because they are gay?

This is different climate than 2010. With the economy the way it is you would expect a red wave. Also remember the senate this time (don't remember 2010 numbers) was way in the R's favor. 26 D seats up compared to 9 for the R's.

I think even you can agree that this is a spin. Obama was a movement in 2008. He was literally the messiah himself. He beat McCain in a landslide. 2010 was a massive rebound all across the board.

The economy doing great certainly brought out many voters today, but (a) the economy affects everyone differently and (b) not everyone understands the economy. Do you know how much anti-Trump crap I see on Reddit making it sound as though our economy is in shambles and China is beating us? To say that we should have expected a red wave today is really going over the top.

The dumb joke is that Kasich wasn't red and DeWine is.
Tell that to the significantly lowered income taxes and school vouchers.

I'm going to guess not much different than they usually do. Party in this country comes before race, religion, sex, culture and sometimes even family.

The R's trounced in 2010. No one is disputing that.
You can't just dismiss the numbers when you are defending 26 and the other side only 9.
The economy is simple for most. How much money do I have in my pocket. It is not the same for the low/middle class as for the elites.

Losing the house is a success? 
Might not be for his policies, but certainly is for his politics, all he needs to win in 2020 is an ineffective powerless government body to fight him every step of the way and as a result boiling up his base.
