How is Trump crushing Ohio so strong?

Also fuck at NC Senate Race

Serious answer:

Not nominate a candidate that half the country violently hates because they've been trained to for three decades.

If Kaine was the Dem nominee he'd probably be killing it right now.

Also not be neoliberals. Whether people want to admit it or not, the votes in the Rust Belt right now are clearly because white people there feel despondent and are taking the bait scapegoating everyone else. The "globalist" thing isn't just about Jews, and that's why Trump is appealing to these people.

Clinton is absurdly qualified. She is a better candidate than anyone else who decided to run in the Democratic primary. Clinton has been going on and on about working for the middle class. Her plans work towards that end.Trumps policies are cancer for the middle class. These workers will be worse off. They aren't voting for economics (of if they are then they are misinformed - thanks Media). They are voting for Racism/Sexism. What could she possibly say that is different?

 

[SlimySnake]

This is my fault. My brown Muslim ass turned off white people and caused them to turn to a man they didn't fully understand.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

Everything worked.. the lies, the fear mongering, the wall the fascism, reality TV wins the day.

Sad to be an American right now.

 

[B-Dubs]

Perception. That's why I said they should not have nominated a candidate so many people hate.

You're basically saying everyone is fucking stupid then. That they saw those debates, and Trump barely able to form coherent sentences, and though "Hmm, this seems like a good idea!" That's all I'm getting, that everyone is fucking stupid.

 

[BoboBrazil]

Alright, I'm now just operating under the assumption Trump will win. Best case scenario: he'll be the most unpopular president of all time, he's fuck shit up for 4 years, we'll all say "We told you so", Dems will win easy in 2020.

And you will get a fucked supreme Court for decades. Awesome.

 

[fenners]

How the fuck is this happening? Seriously fuck polls am I right?

We learned that in the UK about 24 years ago.

Seriously, you can't rely on polls or exit polls, especially when there's a majorly disruptive candidate.

Gah

 

[BronzeWolf]

She's closing in Arizona, is it doable?

 

[kmag]

And then they do and it's not fucking enough. Broward was supposed to save Florida.

But they did in VA. They probably will PA, it's MI where it's dodgy.

 

[Maxim726X]

To be fair.

He got crushed in this thread.

Well, it looks like the professional gaf pollsters had it wrong.

He's not looking like Bad Nate anymore.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Unprecedented white rural turnout

And it's because of those useless fucking rallies we all mocked. "Oh, you can't just give speeches to big crowds, you need data and GOTV!"

Well I guess the rules are different for racist white old men.

 

[excelsiorlef]

I don't even know what a Clinton concession speech looks like.


Does anyone know what the NH senate race is looking like? Still to early?

Conceed the loss but nothing else.

Accept the result but nothing more.

 

[DirtyManos]

And then they do and it's not fucking enough. Broward was supposed to save Florida.

Broward aint Wayne County.

Florida is fucktown.

Wait.

 

[PBY]

She's closing in Arizona, is it doable?

Doubt it.

 

[Cesare Borgia]

Hillary has MI and VA. Dunno what the networks are doing.

 

[Dierce]

We can't lose focus of who we are and what we believe in. We are progressives, we are liberals, we are democrats who believe in equality, who believe in respecting people of other races and religion.

So please, do not think that there is something wrong with you. Don' think that the Democratic must change to appeal to these white rural racists. We are better than that and we must remain united for equality.

 

[Totakeke]

Even if Hillary wins, the future looks bleak.

 

[MetalGearZed]

I don't even care about the Senate anymore. i just want off this ride.
i consider this a near-death experience

 

[Makai]

We survived Bush and Reagan. It'll be okay

 

[Voysa Reezun]

You're basically saying everyone is fucking stupid then. That they saw those debates, and Trump barely able to form coherent sentences, and though "Hmm, this seems like a good idea!" That's all I'm getting, that everyone is fucking stupid.

Well, they just don't care. They want racism.

They're also anti-intellectual.

 

[mo60]

The good news is that Arizona looks pretty close right now. This is one weird night.

 

[Diablos]

We survived Bush and Reagan. It'll be okay

They're nothing compared to Trump. Nothing.

 

[Crosseyes]

Hillary is outperforming 2012 Obama in Polk and Johnson by 4% and 10% respectively.

Would be shocking if Iowa goes blue on a night when the rest of the midwest turns red.

I don't know why we were always assumed pretty solid red. The poll of "If only white people voted." Iowa was one of the only few holdouts still going Hillary.

 

[B-Dubs]

We survived Bush and Reagan. It'll be okay

They weren't cheeto hitler.

I need a new profession.

Well, they just don't care. They want racism.

They're also anti-intellectual.

THAT'S WHAT I SAID!

 

[Kusagari]

Alright, I'm now just operating under the assumption Trump will win. Best case scenario: he'll be the most unpopular president of all time, he's fuck shit up for 4 years, we'll all say "We told you so", Dems will win easy in 2020.

Can people even be sure of this? These rural whites have found their savior and who knows if they'll abandon him; regardless of how bad it gets.

 

[Stinkles]

Hillary has MI and VA. Dunno what the networks are doing.

Why are you saying this?

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

We survived Bush and Reagan. It'll be okay

They were rational, Trump is not

 

[Barzul]

Sucks but if she loses this. We need a popular charismatic white guy in 2020. I thought we'd moved past this, but America is still plenty racist I see.

 

[kmfdmpig]

She's closing in Arizona, is it doable?

I certainly hope she takes Arizona, but she's under-performing in so many other states that it's hard to see her drastically outperforming pre-election polling here in AZ.

 

[witness]

My wife is looking into immigration attorney's as she has family in Europe. This is the worst.

 

[XenodudeX]

Hillary has MI and VA. Dunno what the networks are doing.

How do you know?

 

[balladofwindfishes]

We survived Bush and Reagan. It'll be okay

This feels a lot worse.

And we're still recovering from those two presidencies.

 

[PBY]

Hillary has MI and VA. Dunno what the networks are doing.

Does she have Mich??

 

[Black Mamba]

I don't care slim the margin may be, so long as Hillary can pull out the victory.

Like...there's a good chance millions of lives depend on this happening.

I'd much rather have had Romney win 4 years ago...

 

[The Lamonster]

We survived Bush and Reagan. It'll be okay

Nowhere near the same ball park.

"If we have nukes, why can't we use them?"

 

[Anoregon]

We survived Bush and Reagan. It'll be okay

Supreme court is a fucking disaster. It's going to have at least +2 conservative votes for at least a decade if this pans out.

 

[banefirelord]

We survived Bush and Reagan. It'll be okay

We won't survive the climate change Trump's going to do nothing to stop, though.

 

[Poodlestrike]

We survived Bush and Reagan. It'll be okay

Reagan and Bush were rational actors, even if they were deeply misguided (and in Bush's case used by genuinely evil people). I have no such faith in Trump.

 

[rjinaz]

This is rigged??

That will be forgotten of course. I had somebody tell me the illegals will steal this election. They won't mention it again. Convenient.

 

[Bowdz]

Hillary has MI and VA. Dunno what the networks are doing.

 

[Makai]

Okay lolllllllllllllll

[Voysa Reezun]

Hillary has MI and VA. Dunno what the networks are doing.

Does she?

Because if so, I can maybe breathe?

 

[The Technomancer]

Where the hell are people getting "PA is close"? NYT still has her up 10% at 43% reporting

 

[Drkirby]

How the fuck is this happening? Seriously fuck polls am I right? Seriously she was predicted to have a 70% of winning at her worst and now she is going to lose??

Well, 70% of winning is still 30% chance of losing.

 

[Chezzymann]

There really was a silent majority pissed about losing their jobs that wasn't picked up on the polls. Hannity was right, all those conservative talk show hosts were right.

 

[Strimei]

Why are you saying this?

While I can't speak for Michigan at present (though again, areas around Detroit are barely reported in yet), but she had pulled ahead in Virginia, where she was behind, and just about all of Virginia is in except for, as has been said, parts of northern Virginia and they're blue.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Hillary has MI and VA. Dunno what the networks are doing.

Fuck NO. Dude, you assured us for weeks that that goddamn oppo was going to drop any moment, and now you're here all "oh, MI is in the bag guys." Fuck that. Sources or GTFO.

 

[BSsBrolly]

I STILL have hope. Not sure why...

 

[Makai]

Reagan was fucking crazy with regard to nukes

 

[Iolo]

Where's the evidence of MI.

 

[Godzilla's Left Toe]

We survived Bush and Reagan. It'll be okay

He is 1000X worse then Ronald and W
