Wonder how he'll feel when the actual winner is announced, or is he living in la la land or something?

He's living in the land where he can't vote for either of the two major candidates.

 

[everyday math]

Rebuild our military...? For what?

 

[Version 3.0]

As an IT professional working in Government, I also agree.

Imagine the shit storm if it was any regular person, for sure jail time.

Well, there was a shit storm (still blowing, actually).

As for jail time, I'm not qualified to say. People yelling about "different rules" think they're pointing out a contradiction, but it's literally true: how many people in government would even have the ability to say "I want my own server"? It's true that there are different rules, like it or not. People many ranks above me often casually broke rules about classified intel that I would have been disciplined (not fired, I was military) had I broken - even simple things like taking marked documents into the hallway.

The FBI said no, twice, and clearly they are not in her corner.

I still just can't even imagine the scenario where she didn't, at the very least, get told by multiple people up the chain of command that "No, you can't fucking have a private server". But I worked in a controlled environment. Maybe the elected/appointed side of the government is just sloppier than the permanent institutional side.

According to Slate's Votecastr, Hillary already has more votes in Florida than Obama got in 2012. Not sure how accurate that is, but I'd have to think that almost guarantees a win for that state (and by extension, the election).

 

[Fancyarcher]

Jokes aside, it's also not an entirely unfair comparison because it heralds the rise of the extreme right wing in US (and British) politics, which has been on the fringe for a really long time but staying there relatively well contained - and, okay, I get that Clinton will win, but Trump should never have got this far in the first place - the fact that he has is a frightening thing all by itself and indicates a pretty big division in US society. This has to be dealt with somehow, it's not going to go away if (when) Clinton becomes President. There are similarities. The same fears/hatreds/bigotries that have drawn people to Trump are the ones that drew Brits to Farage and leaving the EU. It's isolationism, building a wall. And both your election and our Referendum are showing that there are far too many of those people to just ignore.

Well the U.S. is getting more and more diverse so this bigoted and scary people should become more of a minor problem, still I don't think they shouldn't be ignored.

 

[KingBroly]

Bernie Sanders's message is real and is the biggest issue this country needs to solve.

Like, that's what Trump's big 2 minute ad was. 'It's us v. them, shit's rigged.'

This girl on CNN again.

In UK time, when could we start getting results?

This drives me fucking insane. In what way does the most funded, biggest and most powerful military need to be "rebuilt"? Jesus Christ.

I know what this means if it's accurate

Spoiler

Trump landslide

And the stuff Drudge put out is PARTY IDENTIFICATION ONLY, NOT CANDIDATES

In that case, Sanders should have won the election without even being a candidate.

 

[paperboywriter]

22 minutes....but it will just be answers to questions not straight Trump/Clinton data

what kind of questions?

 

[Laevateinn]

Graham is still fighting the civil war so of course he is still willing to stick it to Trump.

 

[Fancyarcher]

Pro tip: never believe a CNN Countdown

You mean the Clinton News Network?

 

[old]

Listening to Trump on Savage radio, it sounds like both are resigned to defeat.

 

[Angry Grimace]

This drives me fucking insane. In what way does the most funded, biggest and most powerful military need to be "rebuilt"? Jesus Christ.

The GOP is for small government when it involves things they don't care about and for big government when its for things they can make money off of.

 

[Chorazin]

Just read that my ridiculously small hometown area had 9,000 voters. If true, that's damn near 100% voting participation and I know those inbred hick motherfuckers went Trump.

Uuuuuugh if all small towns in PA are doing this....man I feel sick right now.

 

[Kerned]

In UK time, when could we start getting results?

In approximately 1.3 British hours.

 

[kswiston]

Considering another tweet is "The only stains on my underwear are from your daughter's vagina." I'm going to say no.

Considering the guy he is replying to has a user name that ends in 1989, and looks to be 25-35 from his profile picture, that's a pretty weird comment to make. Any daughter the guy is likely to have would be under 10.

 

[| Praxis |]

4am or some shit. Luckily my baby is Teething so I should have the opportunity to check my phone

Iirc, we hear about 5am.

 

[Apathy]

Man, the Donald subreddit is nuts, thinking trump could win new York.

 

[maquiladora]

what kind of questions?

"How important is strong leadership to you?" Stuff like that...early exit poll stuff is poor.

 

[PumpkinSpice]

This drives me fucking insane. In what way does the most funded, biggest and most powerful military need to be "rebuilt"? Jesus Christ.

Investing in the military is easy pandering for republicans to military communities, not just people in the military but those around bases. Graham is from South Carolina; there are a lot of military bases in that state.

 

[johancruijff]

In Italy it should be around 3 or 4 in the morning, so 1 hour earlier I think ( damn dst)

Man this thread gives me such a Flashback of the Brexit thread here.

A lot of people was super certain remain would win...

gotcha, thanks

The taco trucks are being deployed now. You're missing out hombre.

Votecastr is about as useful at this stage as walking up to a small yapping dog and asking its opinion on quantum mechanics.

Dude might be hedging his bets.

McMullen could be a 2020 contender if he does well enough tonight.

 

[Veitsev]

Probably one of the Trump supporters on CNN's payroll.

 

[facetheslayer92]

That would be Kayleigh McEnany.

 

[Fox Mulder]

Like, that's what Trump's big 2 minute ad was. 'It's us v. them, shit's rigged.'

I saw children at my polling place with "I voted" stickers. The system is rigged.

 

[QuantumBro]

Wonder how he'll feel when the actual winner is announced, or is he living in la la land or something?

I don't think Graham has any delusions that Hillary is going to win. He's also publicly said that he will support the nomination hearing of a Hillary supreme court nominee. There's a ton of Senate Republicans to shit on, Graham is not one of them.

 

[E-Cat]

Man, the Donald subreddit is nuts, thinking trump could win new York.

Well, post-factual thinking is one of the requirements of being a Trumpeter.

 

[Snwaters]

Pretty cool seeing Mike Nutter get some spotlight time on CNN. Had a rough time in Philadelphia, a lot of people didn't like him as mayor, but I had no issue.

I'm more interested in what the Senate/House races look like. I'm confident of a Clinton victory, but there are other important races than the Executive.

A very late night for us then!

Man, the Donald subreddit is nuts, thinking trump could win new York.

A guy I know is posting on his Facebook, in between memes probably taken straight from the Donald, that it's going to be a landslide victory for Trump.

Denial is a helluva thing.

 

[Fancyarcher]

He's living in the land where he can't vote for either of the two major candidates.

Wish I could live in that land with him, but alas reality exists.

Absolutely. The hard right have been dangerously emboldened in the UK and think their beliefs are shared by the overwhelming majority. Their anti-intellectualism ("we've had enough of experts") is quite scary and sickening.

Do not think for a moment that it'll go away with a Clinton victory.
