The 2016 Presidential Election Results Thread

[Beco]

Yep. and those who would actually benefit won't see any of those benefits, if at all until Drumpf is gone.

 

[Beco]

I believe I had that about a year ago.....Hillary was unelectable....nobody liked her and when she called Trump supporters "'Deplorables', that was the end.

that said, around here, I met maybe 5 people that actually admited they were going t to vote for Trump....This area was in the bag for Hillary.

Amazing....one thing you cant disagree with is Trump gave America and the world, great TV.....now on to the hard part.

At least pot was leagized in California!

Yea, but with the Republicans in charge of everything, that shit's going to stop!

It's adorable that you think the feds under Trump (the one thing he's ever told the truth about is that he's serious about being anti-alcohol, tobacco, and drugs) are going to let that go.

Since I don't partake myself, that's the one thing about the coming Reich that I look forward to, so that I can see BotanyBoy's tantrum when the crackdowns get going. Not that Obama has been anything special re the ridiculous War on Drugs, but we're going to a new level.

Fucking conservatives rich old fucks in Scottsdale made sure the legal pot prop was doomed to fail.....

Good thing I have glaucoma.....

$1000 u are both wrong..

 

[Disgustipated]

You've already proven you have no idea what the fuck is going on, no need to continually shine your ignorance.

 

[needit700]

Well well well

WE WON!!!!!!!!!!!! Now those who told us they would leave, Please do so ASAP!!

 

[Beco]

But Trump is for State's Rights, right? either way, I dont care.

Good grief. He's probably less like Thomas Jefferson than anyone who has ever been elected president.

There wasn't that many, dummy.

Republicans are only for states rights when it lands in favor of what they want done. Don't get me wrong Dems are essentially the same way only they don't generally pretend to like state rights but there is no questiont he drug war continues. Will he maybe be lax? We'll have to wait and see but I wouldn't count on it.

 

[BoyNextDoor]

Fuck the drug war. I can plant six pot plants legally now, freely partake in edibles, carry an ounce and have 10 oz in the house.

The party is in Boston this year.

How about another Civil War, except make it more like the English one?

You're not wrong about the fact that conservatives don't mind federal government overreach when it suits them. Best example that is Heller Decision which I love of course however it's wrong if Washington DC wants to have gun control the federal government can't say anything about it.

Liberals got bit on the ass like misconstruing on purpose the incorporation Clause to suggest that suddenly the Federal Government Can conjoined States from doing things that the federal government cannot do just because the federal government cannot do something does not mean a state cannot.

Trump is so conservative and he has no libertarian but he is a businessman and if you looked at it from Strictly cost-benefit and now it says the drug war is insane. It should be dumped on that basis alone. The problem is he's not a very good businessman actually Romney's a much better businessman but he was entirely too nice

RoryN and a lot of other people were very confident things would be different. I thought she was going to win looking at all the polls (I did not think she would win by a lot, though, considering the massive baggage). What really surprised me and even GOP operatives was the rust belt. It was a wild night, folks.

I wish the best for Trump and his new administration. Really.

Looking back, I remember all the gloating when Obama won. The tables are turned now. That part is interesting to me as well.

you assholes that were so happy the mkt would tank

are fucking wrong

AS USUAL

Liberals do have a long and storied history of advocating and committing various acts of violence to further their cause here and worldwide , but here the (il)liberals would lose since they brag about being unarmed. They assumed that they would always be in power once they acquired it so they've even banned the Anarchist Cookbook

Now that the union troops are controlled by conservatives (let's pretend Trump is one) the liberal fantasy about the troops shooting American citizens over such things as gun confiscation have to go by the wayside.

The Rust Belt strategy was what Toubab's thread up here is how Trump could win started. Looks prescient now doesn't it?

As does the poll he cited. I think having the same people you're talking to again and again listen people up so that they were able to be honest with the posters.

I don't see him as the type to Crow about being right but he needs to take a Victory lap.

It's not overreach when it's working in their favor. A great example being the war on drugs. We have multiple states who legalized it to varying degrees and oh yeah DC TRIED and the Republican Congress effectively told them to eat shit and die you don't get self determination.

The Defense of Marriage Act is another grand example of fuck states rights, you do as your told.

And like I said don't get me wrong, it's not like Democrats are pro-states rights save when it chips away at a federal law they don't agree with. See gay marriage and legalizing weed. I think it's clear they would prefer a top down method and in cases like those a top down method is the only logical way to go about it.

The Drug war has always been a proxy for racism, if it was about the money it would have been stopped ages ago. If Obama couldn't even find it in his heart to let Colorado weed sellers work with banks directly instead of creating crime via robbery forgive me if I have no faith in Trump who make no mistake I believe is a racist shit.

He'll get some good done on the economy, he shouldn't be the disaster people are dreading but a Republican ending the drug war? I guess they are the only ones who could do it with some cover so hopefully but I'm not gonna hold my breath on that front.

His poll had Trump winning the popular vote. That appears to be wrong. What part of his poll was correct?

I asked him that last night and he ignored me. And I know he doesn't have me on literal Ignore because it's my thread.



Seems to me a poll that had Clinton winning the popular vote +4 (when it looks like it's going to be +1) is more accurate than a poll which had Trump +3 -- that is, it had the incorrect winner of the popular vote AND was off by a wider margin.

But what do I know? I'm one of those "college voters" who are now being swept out on the tide of history.

CNN took some time to discuss Reagan Democrats in the rust belt. Obviously, people in the same areas did not like Hillary's message, Reagan Democrats or not. I am very curious to see the demographics once everything is in.

I did not see that guy's thread, by the way.

I have no idea what your least sentence meant, so I will just skip that.
