Has anyone thought what this is going to do to "never ever doubt me" SCP (Paul)? He got this one right. His head might just explode. Well it's not over yet, and I'm sure there will be multiple recounts, plus some new votes popping up....but I have thought about that and I'm guessing people on this board know it's coming, especially with all the crap he was given over it.

It's a great pity the right of free speech isn't based on the obligation to say something sensible.

The news is Hillary Clinton called Donald Trump and conceded the Presidency. I was listening to CNN when that came on.
Hillary congratulated Donald Trump on his win.

Hope Comey is happy with himself. Why should he be happy with himself? He should have pushed for indictment in July. He should be pissed at himself that he blew his chance.

NO kidding.
Now I'm worried about how he'll screw up SCOTUS. With almost clockwork precision, Republican appointees to The Bench fail to understand the difference between their Bibles and the Constitution.
That's my biggest fear of his Presidency.

My biggest concern is what he will do to the health care system. I was really hoping to retire in 5 years, and I would need to be able to buy health insurance somewhere to make that possible.

For sure the House will vote (again) to repeal the ACA (which enabled a lot of people to retire before age 65). If it passes the Senate, it would get signed. The fillibuster may be the only firewall left.

I hope Obamacare is repealed. It's an unmitigated disaster. It needs to go. Finally it can.
(and yes, I'm only insured because of it... so I'll lose my insurance too)

The problem with blaming them is... they were biased FOR Hillary. Had they pointed out her flaws as much as they pointed out Trump's BEFORE the conventions, had they not conspired to hand the Democratic Nomination to her, we wouldn't be in this mess. The President Elect would be Bernie Sanders.

In fairness that's a better thought than nude photos of the future FGOTUS ("First Gentleman")... Not much comfort... but still... ETA: Can't argue with your point about us being the laughingstock... but that was going to be the case no matter which unqualified candidate won.

So much hatred. Hilary didn't even have the grace to make her own concession speech. Racists on this board are already calling him Trump. MSNBC was talking last night that the Dems in congress are already planing how to block anything Trump wants to accomplish. People are attacking the mans beautiful wife. Amazing to me how people change once the shoe is on the other foot.
Obama stated in his first meeting with Repo's from Congress- " Elections have consequences. I won." Let's see how the Dems deal with that concept.

what i got wrong:
1) the polls.
so, this was an important election for polling. telephone polls are going to give way to online polls, which turned out to be MORE accurate. this is a huge change, and will make polling better in cycles to come. this will be very well studied, and i am confident will give us better predictions in the future. IBD/TIPP got it right, and basically everyone else got it wrong, which was probably based on poor demographic assumptions, but that is for them to figure out. the AVERAGE polling was off by about 3% (and the mainstream polls were off by even more). my analysis was off by approximately the same amount.
2) the upper midwest.
i really didn't see this coming, even though Trump warned about it, and the primary showed it. PA, MI and WI were all in play even thought most of us thought they were NOT.
3) my faith in the electorate.
i never believed that it was LIKELY that 60M could vote for this asshat, and i was wrong. so, the America i thought i knew doesn't exist, and this is a good time to come to terms with that.
i won't bother stating what i got right. it should be obvious enough. more than i got wrong. but i got enough wrong to miss Trump's Path To Victory (which turned out to be WISCONSIN).

I think we will all survive. The condition we end up in...yet to be determined.
Now is the time to get to work on change...at all levels of government!
ETA....Think of the stock market drop as a SALE, time to buy what you can afford and then forget about it for a few years.

I doubt that the any changes to reproductive rights, Just what is going to happen to LGTB and minority Rights?
No health care? what is going to happen all the Dr. moving away? or does Trump open state borders for more competition?
How about being to buy your prescriptions from Canada or Mexico? at one fourth the cost
More war than Obama has us in right now?
Good luck with moving back to Europe, with the terrorist threat growing more every day!
Just built that dream home right?

Stock market futures were down 900 at one point. Now down 300. Everything is going to be okay.

She didn't do that. That was just the spin... She might not have but her supporters did Yes, I have been called a Nazi because I supported Trump, He said that if Trump is elected, he was moving to Canada, Now I get to wish him "Good Luck".
