    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


    Are you hinting at Obama care here?

    The flood of SJW is on it's way.
    Will have to put the kid gloves on and prepare to handle these snowflakes.

    If Trump had done what Hillary has done, he would be called a sore loser, bitter and unaccepting of reality.

    It is after 2am so maybe she was not up to the job, and if something happened if she was president at 2am, she would sent Podesta out saying she needed her sleep.

    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 :)

    Im going to say this with the utmost respect.



    What fcuking planet are you living on ?

    Democracy fails sometimes. It has happened throughout history with false promises and lies. Our politicians are right to call out Trump for what he is as are others throughout the world. it will be interesting what he says in his acceptance speech and if he tries to unite a very divided country.

    He was extremely high energy and gave a very enthusiastic speech about waiting for the rest of the votes to be counted. No indication that defeat was imminent, you would swear she had a 50:50 chance listening to him.

    Fortunate enough?

    Yeah going to school, working hard and deciding £112 a month is a good decision to pay for my kids is fortune.
    Sure we can chalk everything down to fortune.

    I've worked in place where the homeless of the country make EU and USA homeless people look fortunate. Should I let the homeless people in London know how fortunate they are.

    Are the Poor Americans not fortunate to be not living in iraq, Syria...

    Cop your self on.. It's policy that has people unable to afford medical care. Making people self sufficient should be the goal, not making them dependent on the state.

    Are you going to base everything on hope? It is a little worrying how gleeful you seem over the thought of someone being ill.

    A far more likely scenario is she wants any concession speech to include the fact hat she will win the popular vote but is waiting for that to be confirmed.

    People would have complained if Trump didn't accept the result after all the votes were counted. We really wouldn't have minded waiting but feel free to make up your own narrative.

    John Kasich :pac::pac::pac::pac::pac::pac: had schedules a meeting for Thursday to reclaim the Republican party.
    I guess that is cancelled.

    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.

    Why?

    Why would he be gracious and conciliatory now? Do you think when the "Lock Her Up" chants start he's going to ask them to dial it down?

    She is not ill, apart from being sick from losing.

    She felt entitled and believed 100% she would win, after all the strategy was to promote Trump during the primaries, so she could win easily.

    She is just a bad loser, and good riddance to the war queen.

    Trump is meant to speak soon.

    Don't shoot the messenger.

    Just reporting what Dana Bash on CNN reported.

    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.

    What exactly does that slogan mean?

    You really think Trump has spoken truthfully even on the majority of occasions he uttered something? Here's an extract from an NYT article....
    He lied about the loan his father once gave him.

    He lied about his company’s bankruptcies.

    He lied about his federal financial-disclosure forms.

    He lied about his endorsements.

    He lied about “stop and frisk.”

    He lied about “birtherism.”

    He lied about New York.

    He lied about Michigan and Ohio.

    He lied about Palm Beach, Fla.

    He lied about Janet Yellen and the Federal Reserve.

    He lied about the trade deficit.

    He lied about Hillary Clinton’s tax plan.

    He lied about her child-care plan.

    He lied about China devaluing its currency.

    He lied about Mexico having the world’s largest factories.

    He lied about the United States’s nuclear arsenal.

    He lied about NATO’s budget.

    He lied about NATO’s terrorism policy.

    I'd take all of Trumps flaws over lying to the victims families of Benghazi then going on TV and calling them liars. She's on another level entirely. She's gotten away with murder and I hope justice will be served.

    Trump wins Wisconsin, 13 electoral votes away.

    Sorry, wasn't having a go at you, just raising the point that he has his 'winning formula' so why change it now?

    Everyone expected a more conciliatory attitude when he won the primary and it never materialised, so I wouldn't be too surprised if he doesn't continue with the small minded, paranoia fueled, hate encouraging tone that got him this far.

    You care as much about families of a few soldiers in benghazi as much as trump does.

    Which is not at all.

    Where do people get the idea that Trump will be gracious? He hasn't been so far.

    ....as opposed to Trump's repeated and very public attacks on the Khans, including responding to Mr Khan's statement that he (Trump) had “sacrificed nothing,” and had lost no one.......with this gem.....
    “I think I’ve made a lot of sacrifices,” Mr. Trump replied. “I’ve worked very, very hard. I’ve created thousands and thousands of jobs.”


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,631 ✭✭✭✭Hank Scorpio


    Most of the betting sites have shut up shop. I think I got 10/1 on Trump earlier on pokerstars, wish I threw more than 15 quid on it. Had a gut feeling for months he'd win.

    That's speculation

    Where as Hillary lack of respect is fact to quote her "What does it matter anymore"

    Also like how you put emphasis on 'a few soldiers' like the quantity matters.
