    Very very very very happy. Huge opportunity for the middle class to have their voice heard and they took full advantage. After 16 horrible years of Obama and Bush the corrupt media finally get a reality check. Now the truth has a voice at the top.

    When is the result likely to be confirmed?

    It may be a good while yet, unfortunately. My eyes are fallin out of my head but I wouldn't miss a minute of this for the world :-)

    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

    My Irish seat in London I guess.

    But isn't that the point in more jobs and better wages? So people can afford basic needs?
    Why would health care only affect Black people? Why are Black people no better off under Obama?

    I know I missing something here, and I'm sure you have the answer. Share it with me. Listermint you seem bitter?

    When did I say it only effects black people?

    You asked specifically about black people and I answered.

    I never once said it was only black people.

    I also said working Americans.

    It must be super easy sitting cushy with the NHS under you.

    Bitter? No just perplexed that people haven't a clue about Conditions there.

    How would you fare without the NHS literally existing at all.? Please answer

    This isn't good for Ireland considering the huge numbers of US companies here

    Or keep Clinton from receiving money from Saudi Arabia who are funding ISIS, and in turn opening the borders to whoever the hell wanted to come in.

    It would have been the end, Germany and France are already a nightmare.

    Between this and Brexit it will likely put Ireland in recession.

    Surprised people are celebrating that. If you've nothing to lose in life I suppose

    Going off topic I guess, but I pay £112 a month on private health care, plus Social Insurance Tax. So it's not free by any means.

    My question was specific to the black vote, but I'll take your poor answer.

    I think she failed on the Black Vote because historically Black people have a bad turn out. But for racial reasons they came out for Obama, but didn't associate with Clinton. I think Clinton thought because black people didn't want Trump, she thought by default they would vote for her. Enlisting JayZ to help out. But she couldn't motivate the undecideds or anti-Trump to vote for her.

    Perhaps our "leaders" ought to have considered the effect their insults towards Trump might have in the future. But no, virtue signalling was of far greater importance.
    Having said that, Trump employs people here and will want the best for Ireland too. Good things may be on the horizon :)

    If I supported Clinton and she didn't come out. I'd be rightly pissed off.

    What poor answer?

    I never said it was just black people relying on it.

    You made that up to suit your narrative.


    Typical.

    So your fortunate enough to be able to afford 112 pound a month but safe in the knowledge the NHS is there should you suffer hard times.

    What if you were too ill to work and too ill to afford that health care?


    Clueless

    The irony of Jay z rapping about bitches, niggas, and hoes on the Clinton side, then Hillary complaining about Trump...
