Re: Election Day 2016 Trump would have torn Sanders apart, painting him as an ineffectual career politician while scare-quoting the word "socialism" until people were picturing dead bodies along the Berlin Wall. Maybe the Democrats needed a person who did not run. Julián Castro? Joe Biden?

Where is Xiayun? He said it was going to be over in an hour! How I wish it would have. I think he meant the US as a Republic, and I think he nailed it. The Canada immigration site has crashed.

Re: Election Day 2016 This thread overtook Lecter's "Well, shit" and "Would you rather" threads, and I think we can all agree that that's basically a good thing.

Re: Election Day 2016 I guess it makes sense most vote out of self-interest, just didn't expect so many to have thought that aligned with Trump and the Republican Party.

Re: Election Day 2016 So Trump doesn't want a minimum wage, yet everywhere it was on the ballot it overwhelming passed. Does not compute.

Re: Election Day 2016 All the polls are closed. I really need to sleep. Such a mess.
So I will just say this here. My wife is originally from Bolivia. She is a US citizen and has been for years. Recently, people have come up to her and said, "Go back to Mexico." This is the angst of people. The person didn't care she was a US citizen and didn't care that Bolivia is not Mexico.

Re: Election Day 2016 So it's looking like a 309-229 victory for Trump.
