My thought is that they only got as bad as they did because of Obama and their hatred of him. Without a "villain" to spite, maybe they'll calm down.
They had free reign in the early 2000s, and at least managed to sort of function.
He will be lucky to be in office as long as reagan.
Perhaps, but Bernie was the weaker choice. Speaks more to the Democratic party not really grooming any new talent since Obama. I mean, there's basically Obama and then the Dems slowly reverting back to 2004 levels elsewhere. They can't find anyone good.
I really think Biden should have run for President. I know he was going through a bad time, but you really have to wonder what he's thinking tonight.
Yep love all of you still going to be here i guess I change my mine.

I just think running a lifelong politician will be a mistake.

Well, Republicans still will have won only 1 popular vote in the last 7 elections, but will have won 3 terms.

To be fair, his electorate probably assumes that he's his own man.
With justifiable reason, given all the insane shit he says.
I love you to. I wonder what trudeau and other canadian politicians are thinking about thiis election right now.

And why did it work? Because the GOP controlled the House and could hold hearings and drag people out whenever they wanted. Yay midterms.
I was naive enough to think we wouldn't send our country down the river like that but boy was I wrong.
It's so depressing realizing how much conservatism has taken over the world and is dragging us backward.

Hillary absolutely bears a lot of the blame for this and anyone saying otherwise is so deluded it is ridiculous. She simply should have never ran. How the How the fuck could she honestly have thought she of all people could bridge the divides in this country? Incredibly selfish of her to run.

Agree. Bernie wouldn't have gotten very far. Conviction yes, but he's a poor politician with awful campaign strategy.
Biden would have won, and probably should have run.
PBS is oddly comforting. I mean, they are flabbergasted as well, but in a PBS way.
They aren't mincing any words, but realistic in a non-pundit way.
Whatever dudes. We can cry for a few hours or days, but Hillary isn't going to go out into the sunset or runaway, and neither is Obama.
Everybody has to do their part now, the era of just sitting back and watching back progress being made, is over.

ItWasMeantToBe, love you too.
I love you too. And I love all of PoliGAF.
We tragically lost the battle, but the war continues... and fighting the good fight is never easy. We can make it through this.
That's okay, I am sure he'll be in Trump's cabinet.
It doesn't matter. The Dems cannot afford another person who can be portrayed as establishment.
He's also a charter school supporter, which I hate.
It has to be someone like Bernie or Warren who exudes populism. Or if not someone like that on policy, someone with a winning personality like Bill or Biden.

Anyway, this night was a boon for political scientists for showing that campaign organization literally does not matter in the slightest.
Not a good night for political consultants though.

Welp. I voted. Gotta move on not going to say something dumb like I'm moving out of the country. I'M here to stay through all the Bulls hit and fuckery I will continue, not going to let this define or end me. I like what Jim Jones on VICELAND said tonight "Life is rigged"
This is a very different Republican Party than the one in the early 2000s.

I hope people realize now how much of an echo chamber this thread is. I agree with 90% what you guys say, but it's an echo chamber.

pyrrhic, but i`ll take it.
The political landscape may have changed by 2020.
It may be "elect a politician to fix Trump's mess." Far, far too early to say.
It's personality. It's Biden if he's gtg in 4 years.

I kept saying how Trump and his supporters were in a alternate reality. Nope, just me and people on this forum living in the alternate reality. Holy fuck did everyone get it wrong, myself included. Massive fuck up. Our country deserves this. Obama was way too good for us. President Trump taking us 100 years backwards is about right. We only do well as the underdogs anyway. The only hope is he is so wildly incompetent he doesn't accomplish shit and we move through midterms with renewed Dem vigor and put a bullshit white guy on the ticket in 2020.

On the bright side, maybe Donald "I eat fast food all the time" Trump won't be able to take the stress and we'll have Mike Pence as President, which fine, I'll take it.
On a more vindictive note, I hope whatever economic consequences that are gonna happen because of this hits those rural fucks the hardest.

Same to you, but I wish I could say that we would all be fine. I just can't really believe that. A lot of people think....really have not been paying attention to the things Trump has been doing and saying during this campaign. I'm not going to go crazy and say we'll definitely be seeing a facist regime arise or anything, but if you think Trump isn't going to make a serious attempt to create one...well, I hope that you are rise, and I wish I could trust the GOP to stop and frustrate him, but...I don't know. I can't see it.
Looking to go to New Zealand and maybe segue into a teaching job in Asia somewhere from there. I'll still do absentee ballot voting, if possible, but I don't think I can really live in a place that would elect Donald Trump commander-in-chief.

Don't even know what to say. Sorry. A lot of people were very, very wrong tonight. And a lot of work people dedicated their lives to evaporated tonight.
One of the real big pitcture issues I'm worried about is China and Japan are on a knifes edge on slipping into a recession at best. China halted stock trading in their markets a year ago and is on the verge of a real estate crisis that makes 2008 look like baby's first market crash.
With markets tanking, and on the eve of a supply-side economics with major austerity measures, I have a feeling we are not going to be doing well economically going forward.
