Seems like that was a big part of the reason for this result. That's because one of the hallmarks of his campaign was a genuine optimism, which she genuinely lacked.

I'd organize a Million Immigrant March on the Inauguration. Really think that could be powerful. I'd want to involve Black folks though so I'm not sure about the immigrant theme. Million Dreamers March, marching for the American Dream? Something like that. I really am feeling like inauguration will be the ugliest in history. Even uglier than the 2001 inauguration. There are going to be thousands upon thousands coming to DC to protest President Trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elessar78 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I want to say this but don't want to get put on some watch list. But I hope no one tries to "get him", as a Dem, things are bad enough as it is. Something like that would make things a whole lot uglier in an instant.

One could say that a great many people wanted to vote for a black candidate, which I am sure is true, but I am also sure that a few million Bernie supporters stayed home. She was a poor candidate that didn't inspire the left in 2008, and only got more warts in the last 8 years. I dont think that's necessarily true. There's about 7-8 million uncounted votes, mostly from Democratic strongholds on the coasts that Hillary wound up winning anyway. She very well could wind up with roughly the same amount Obama got in 2012 when all the absentee and provisional ballots get counted. Votes weren't her problem, geography was. She got plenty of votes, she just didnt get them where she needed them. I think the narrative that she didnt get Dens out to vote is a red herring.

In time, I think we'll see how perfect it was. Not implying "rigging", just how circumstance and psychology and timing did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Excuses Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Michael McDonald is forecasting that the turnout for this election will be around 58%. Roughly 4-5% drop from 2012. Significant enough to tilt the election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I meant that to be sarcastic, not an attack, btw...but I will probably never put that title in front of his name.

Hate to break this to you but he has already earned it - the same way every other person who was elected to that office earned it (admittedly there are other ways to earn it - Ford, Johnson, Truman and so on).

AsburySkinsFan Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Ok, I've got friends on facebook hollering that Bannon as a white nationalist is all a liberal media driven false narrative. (Apparently Evan McMullin is a liberal) That said, please post your articles of evidence and please bear in mind that articles from MotherJones et al WILL be summarily disregarded. Please quote this post so that I can find them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, the more I see of how President Trash is the darling of the white supramacist movement, the more I think the GOP establishment won't let him finish out his term to avoid damaging their brand. I'm thinking he'll be impeached in a couple of years, tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
