Support NeoGAF

[Merino]

Van Jones dropping some emotional truthbombs

 

[Metalingus5150]

Ignorance and hate won.

 

[Lightning_Roller]

The dark timeline begins. What do we do now?

 

[USC-fan]

so is it okay to wear those red hats now?

 

[Volimar]

I hope Hillary doesn't concede. Make them account for every ballot. Fuck it, drag it out for weeks.

 

[MMarston]

When will we get a concession/victory speech? Only reason I'm still up.

I don't think I'll even have the cajones to watch those.



It's gonna be heartbreaking.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Hillary's "Victory Party" in case you missed it.

I'm already seeing a lot of sad faces and tears. Fuck.

 

[MIMIC]

He gave Trump a better chance than almost anyone else- he's probably gained a lot of credibility.

Everyone who blasted him needs to never say anything about a poll ever again

 

[Sibersk Esto]

CNN speaking alot of truth right now.

 

[Frozenprince]

I am happy and I'm from and living in Mexico! Do I support Trump? NO! But the DNC and Hillary Clinton wronged Bernie, a true progressive that had this in the bag and was robbed by primaries shenanigans. The smugness from HillaryGAF was off the charts and since GAF became an echo chamber it is only natural to say "I told you so" from everyone else that didn't drink the YAS QUEEN kool-aid.

So you're happy because of spiteful bullshit.

Awesome.

 

[Mr. Blonde]

regarding Nate silver, he basically never had trump ahead and at one point had a ridiculous post arguing that trump has a 1 divided by 2^6 chance (less than 1%) based on no evidence.

Yikes. Must be scary to believe everything you read on the Internet.

Exactly. That was just way too fake for anyone not hoping it is true to actually believe it is true.

 

[ISOM]

"Fuck you white people"?

Is this what we've been reduced to?

Yes.

 

[ghostofsparta]

Latinos fucked up, those are significant numbers for Trump

Hey I remember you! You told me to chill when Trump had a small lead.

 

[terencecah]

After the warriors blew a 3-1 lead I knew nothing in life was safe anymore

 

[Psychoward]

I don't know why you guys are gonna watch the concession/victory speech


I'd rather shoot myself

 

[GoldenEye 007]

On a serious note how bad is it for Clinton?

Terrible. Her legacy and the family is done. I'd argue Obama's legacy goes down in flames too.

 

[AstroNut325]

What did the polls miss? I thought Hillary had a decent lead going in?

 

[Pixieking]

Things mostly ignored here (or that I haven't noticed anyways)

1) Celebrity Endorsements meant nothing.
2) Newspaper Endorsements meant nothing.
3) Political endorsement only relevant if it were related to backing Trump.
4) There's a large swathe of voters who think it's fine to abuse women and minorities, based on the Clinton adverts and Alicia Machado event at the end of Debate 1.

Edit;

Also, the media have to fucking take responsibility for this.

1) Emails (nothing illegal, but wall-to-wall coverage).
2) No pushing of Trump on any real policy until too late.
3) Free airtime given to Trump during Primaries.

 

[GitarooMan]

Van Jones is right on with the term "Whitelash"

 

[Fury451]

So is Trump going to punish all the newspapers, journalists, and women who were against him? Didn't he threaten that?

He has a history of big talk with no action. Doubtful he follows through on anything really.

The big issue people should be worried about is a single party controlling ye house and senate, and it baffles me why that's not more concerning, because it should be.

 

[Maxinas]

Mods what the fuck?

How's this allowed to fly?

Don't agree with the white people part, that's racist in itself, but everything else i can agree with.

 

[danthefan]

So Nate Silver's career is over right?

http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/

No?

He was one of the more cautious ones. He's been saying the whole time Trump can win.

 

[Monocle]

Probably trying to figure out how to become a dictator.

I thought he was already????

 

[Scully Scully Scoo]

Trump is inspirational, against all odds he is going to do it. What a man

 

[half a moon]

It's down to 50k votes in PA and Michigan. 1k in NH.

Could still do it.

 

[Talesofedna]

Its over really, there is no way for Hilary to win.

 

[CrimsonSquall]

So uh where's the part where this settles in?

 

[ChosenPredator]

this wouldnt last 5 minutes in manhattan

there would be like 1034089423193092423 videos of that if it was true too

 

[FriedConsole]

I hate Trump but there is going to be some hand wringing on criticism of how Trump would contest the election when the obvious contestation happens here.

 

[Thoraxes]

Van Jones is breaking my heart right now.

 

[Supast4r]

We don't deserve black women...

Hey 80 percent of us isn't a bad number

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

The environment is the real loser. Just hope we don't get a war out of Trump....I can weather the other stuff.

Everyone and everything. All bets are off.

 

[Spooky Scary Skeleton]

The gap is widening in MI and PA. Trump might win with record number of votes.

 

[Jay Shadow]

So Nate Silver's career is over right?

http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/

Everyone was knocking him for not predicting a bigger blowout, so I think he's okay.

 

[SchrodingerC]

That exit poll is seriously disconcerting.
I need a Van Jones plushie to hug ASAP.

 

[Oriel]

So Nate Silver's career is over right?

http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/

No but Frank Luntz's own career probably is......which is at least one silver lining to all of this.

Off to bed, peace out America. You'll weather the next four years fine and bounce back in 2020.

 

[fanboi]

This is so saddening to see and hear...

Good job world in the year 2016... fueling racism and bigotry in the world.

 

[ColdPizza]

No way this is real. Not in Manhattan.

It's not (thankfully).

Just a jerk preying on people's emotions.

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

Mods what the fuck?

How's this allowed to fly?

It's not.

 

[AmyS]

Hey remember this guy?

Think he was an asshole and utterly terrible?

You haven't seen anything yet.

 

[MMarston]

It's down to 50k votes in PA and Michigan. 1k in NH.

Could still do it.

It's not.

thanks lionel

 

[Crom]

rednecks are fucking stupid

These kid of quotes and divisive attitudes is why Hillary lost.

The vast majority of voters on either side are not racist rednecks or sexist or whatever other accusatory terms you want to throw around.

 

[joms5]

Yeh ... he is laying it down. Smart dude.

He should have been the demo nominee.

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

The economy of Mexico is going to get way worse now...

 

[CoffeeExpress]

I choose trial by combat

 

[Rentahamster]

So is Trump going to punish all the newspapers, journalists, and women who were against him? Didn't he threaten that?

I anticipate mostly a verbal scolding. I'm going to predict that he's going to surprise a lot of people by trying to "bring everyone together" in the interests of moving forward. He's going to have to do this if he wants to get anything done.

However, he'll hold a grudge against his political opponents who really tried to fuck him over. e.g. Paul Ryan, McCain, Bush, etc.

I think he'll make more of an extension of the olive branch to Hillary Clinton herself, than the Republicans who tried to fuck him.

 

[IvanJ]

Well, seems the dollar is dropping sharply.
Cheaper games for me, that's all I care about.
Brexit and Trump make my gaming cheaper again!

 

[Jarrod38]

Hillary spent near 2 billion on her campaign? Jesus christ.

That is Linda McMahon money.

 

[Two Words]

Yeah, this is solidifying my decision to stay in school for my Master's Degree. I want to stay in my education bubble for a few more years and let these terrible Trump years pass.

 

[jonno394]

I've always considered myself a patriot but today I feel genuinely disgusted. For the first time in my life I genuinely wish I wasn't here; I wish I wasn't raising my child here. I'm ashamed.

Its not a real account
