Can anyone explain why Trump is winning this.

Did Clinton supporters just stay at home assuming a victory ?Unlikely as it looked lik a big turnout.

Someone said on this or another thread that 20℅ of lations voted for Trump, have the media over exaggerated the numbers of minorities and women that they assumed were in the Clinton camp ?

Even though I know full well that Clinton is as about as unlikeable as they come I'm still surprised by this.

Trump targeted the rust belt states and it seems to have worked.

Winning by 50 is ridiculous prediction.

Nate Silver (538) is currently predicting him winning by 30.

Based on Trump offering potential VP picks responsibility for 'Foreign and Domestic Policy' ie. fecking everything!! Trump just wanted the title of Presidency for his ego but leave the work of governing to Pence. So the question is are the GOP happy with having one of their guys in the VP seat and let the outsider Trump take all the heat or will we see that it'll ironically be the GOP and not the Dems that'll impeach Trump which then gets their guy Pence the Presidency. ie. Establishment GOP win in the end.

I've yet to see someone make a credible argument for this man in power.

By credible I mean one supported by actual policies.

Jake Tapper on CNN says a lot of veterans agreed with Trump that the US was getting involved too much in other countries abroad, which Hillary was defending.

Trump had two speeches. one for if he lost and the other if he won, Dana Bash say his winning speech will gracious and will reach out to the Clinton side.

In the short term, we're probably entering a recession. He's going to be a ****ing disaster.

Why though what does it mean to you.

Specifically on an Irish stage which I presume is where you personally get paid.

I think that's it. The media assumed because of the various scandals that latinos and women wouldn't vote for Trump but that was never backed up by the polls. The media also talked about a lot about hidden voters who are ashamed to admit to pollstars that they will vote for Trump. That might seem unlikely but to be fair CNN were talking about it early in the day when everyone was still predicting Clinton to win and before the results starting coming in.

#spiritcooking took away alot of the Latino and Black vote imo, power of twitter. The links to Podesta are much deeper than just satanic rituals though.

The media never spoke of anything but a Clinton win.
Only after the states began to swing did they start the reason why people didn't vote.

Media still have reasons why Clinton lost, but refusing to tackle why Trump won.

I listened to all his speeches, I see no reason other than he is REP that would make him lose the Black vote.

Amazingfun, want to chip in here? I will fall out of my ****ing chair if you post ANYTHING resembling knowledge on Trumps policies.

Fox has been fair to Trump, the rest should be ashamed of themselves. Trump took them all on and in a lot of cases made them look incredibly silly. Wikileaks also destroyed them and showed the corruption.

This for sure. And it is nowhere near being over. Do you follow Mike Cernovich?

RobertKK · 09-11-2016 07:38AM

Given Wikileaks showed the Democrats wanted either Trump or Cruz for Hillary to go up against, it is a case of be careful what you wish for.

Nope, followed stuff on reddit and read all the wikileak releases though on his gmail and work accounts. #pizza :mad:

Yes, their "Pied Piper" strategy. Wonder what heads will be rolling for this?

I am happy for Romney, the Bushes and John Kasich.

Romney was so bitter.

But people wanna work and provided for themselves, not live on benefits.
Build the wall, create jobs and lock Hillary up. Still not sure why Black vote would be against him.

Any part of society who shuns work in favour of benefits shouldn't be pandered for.

I was the same. Didn't sleep well the first day it dropped, very dark stuff.

Well @Cernovich will be a good follow in the coming months, says he plans to go after suspected pedophiles in Government next.

Healthcare is not in reach of people including those that work.

Its clear from your Irish comfortable seat you have no idea how working people in the US can't send their children for checkups relying solely on charity clinics.

You should really investigate more rather than relying on soundbites

Hank Scorpio · 09-11-2016 07:44AM

Assange hinted the emails closer to the election are far worse than that we've see so far. Joke she's gotten away with everything for so long. There's literally emails of them talking about the foundation of how to hide the corruption. FBI sold their soul.

IamtheWalrus · 09-11-2016 07:49AM

When is the result likely to be confirmed?
