Support NeoGAF

I have a bit of experience in bricklaying

I can help build a wall

 

[Indrid Cold]

Why do you want to keep out Nunavut?

Putin`s coming bro Pincer attack

Spoiler

You know what I meant

 

[Razorskin]

Funny how GAF decried Nate Silver while any other pollster they endorsed blew it.

 

[calder]

So...can we start on that northern border wall now or?...

I experienced that first hand in here earlier today!

 

[zroid]

Nate Silver has to be feeling the strangest combination of smugness and terror atm

I am going to bed. Can't watch anymore election coverage, it's just upsetting me at this point.

Better hope no one kicks it down.

 

[bonesmccoy]

IF he wins, I think there's a little bit of a silver lining. A Trump presidency will at least get people to pay more attention to executive power creep.

Maybe.

 

[Indrid Cold]

Yeah climb trees and shout shit outside the white house. That`ll do something. What a statement. Better than voting >.>

Fucking idiots.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

The next Dan Carlin should be interesting.

If Clinton won I felt we were going to lose the White House in 4 years anyway, now the Republicans will lose. It's going to be a shitty 4 years though.

I worry about a few things. Healthcare. Supreme Court. Minorities. I feel SO bad for you guys right now.

Can obama do a recess appointment to the Supreme Court? It should be his to nominate anyway.

He can and will do a LOT of damage in 4 years.

- climate change
- trade agreements
- military agreements and alliances
- decisions on humanitarian or military interventions
- tax policy
- supreme court appointments
- universal health care
- welfare state generally
- unions
- immigration policy

His executive power is limited by the other branches of course, but not enough.

Trump supporter with a Pacioretty jersey on a tree outside the whitehouse? What the fuck?

Other branches are Republican for at least 4 years though.

Can he at least push through a Supreme Court nominee as a recess appointment? If he can he should pick the most liberal one he can as a last hurrah.

I think we all knew Casperetty supporters were deplorable

Unsurprising.

Yes, I know. But he still needs to get their consent in some respects. There is an important distinction between Trump and Republicans.

Typical Habs fans

 

[Razorskin]

Hilary spent over 20 years to get to this and Don completely flipped the script on her

Though a lot of them are spineless ass hats and voted for Trump even after he directly insulted their wives.

 

[Heretic]

Disappointed.

 

[Pikma]

There's not enough words to describe what I'm going through right now

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Disappointed.

 

[megachao24]

The one time I voted and this shit happens.

I voted for Clinton BTW...

 

[Fata1moose]

Guys, I'm working on a diverticulitis case study and I can't help but feel that America's colon is what's really messed up here.

 

[calder]

I'm off to bed but, if nothing else, here's some great news we can all rally behind:

 

[MutFox]

Also, the Canucks winning tonight has as much chance as Trump winning tonight.
So if the Canucks win today, pray.

Did you guys pray?

 

[MetatronM]

Pennsylvania is now at 99% reporting. It's over. Hillary has no path left. Have to think an official call will be coming from the news organizations imminently.

Even if she ended up winning NH, Penn and MI she'd be tied. In which case Trump would still win because of Republican house control.

My boss is American. Tomorrow will be... interesting. He'll be very upset.

 

[Red_Man]

All the skeptics were right, I can't believe he runs that country now.

If Clinton won I felt we were going to lose the White House in 4 years anyway, now the Republicans will lose. It's going to be a shitty 4 years though.

This is the line of thinking that lost the election, indifference outvoted hate.

 

[Smiley90]

That's what the Democrats get for cheating Bernie and having one of the most unlikeable candidates in modern history. Trump is unlikeable but energizes. Clinton is unlikeable and boring.

You can't blame this on Hilary, I don't like her but she is still the most qualified Presidential nominee of all time, you need to blame the general public, the media, and the electoral vote make up for how the fuck this happened. Trump should have been eliminated before the primaries, this is a coup.

I'm not blaming her but she IS unlikeable. Bernie was at least energizing people.

I blame the DNC for rigging it and force-feeding her down people's throats and then people were stuck with two people they didnt want to vote for. Trump energized people at least.

 

[zroid]

MSNBC reporting Newt Gingrich for Sec of State, Giuliani for Attny General

dear god

 

[SCHUEY F1]

Trump is only one of the monsters.

 

[Calamari41]

Sounds like Clinton isn't going to concede? Apparently Podesta is going to speak, and not her.

 

[Socreges]

dear god

No surprise there. He's going to reward everyone who was loyal to him.

 

[Yawnier]

dear god

Lawd I can't stand Newt Gingrich

Snakes slither with other snakes.

She is unlikeable, but it shouldn't matter how unlikeable you are when it comes down to the president of the US and your competition is a ignorant, racist, sexist, xenophobic literal piece of human garbage. It comes down to education and the lack there of. Voting for Trump because you "don't trust Hilary" will be a decision that haunts future generations. This comes down to consumer idiocy not the DNC rigging shit.

dear god

I can only imagine what Jon Stewart is doing right now.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

I don't know what to say guys. Sorry.

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

Alright, it's time to know the truth, who of you motherfuckers voted Trump?

I sure as hell didn't, but I live in Tennessee so my vote realistically meant diddly-squat as far as the presidential election goes.

 

[Socreges]

This American lady on CBC has to shut the fuck up

The conversation is otherwise so measured and sincere.

 

[MetatronM]

Sounds like Clinton isn't going to concede? Apparently Podesta is going to speak, and not her.

The AP and news orgs still have yet to call the election, and it's entirely possible that it might not happen tonight even though the writing is obviously on the wall.

 

[Socreges]

"She is not done yet!"

Lol no she's done brah

 

[zroid]

holy fuckin shit

going to bed for real now

 

[Pikma]

This may sound stupid but I need a fucking hug, seriously

Like I said earlier: I agree. It shows facts dont matter to the electorate, all that matters is a populist message. Which for the US is apparently that being bigoted, racist and xenophobic is what they want.

This election is on the electorate of the US being terrible people (evidently) and the DNC being too blind to see what would resonate. She's the most qualified but that doesnt matter to the electorate.
