El Presidente Trump

Tough sh*t if you cannot be arsed to vote. And it's highly likely it wouldn't affect the overall breakdown at all. Deal with it, a tonne of women from all backgrounds voted for Trump. But that doesn't fit your agenda so lets presume every poor little civilian (and ever poor civilian is a woman right?) who was dramatically prevented from voting but the Trump fuelled Illuminati would have voted for Hillary, every last single one of them....feel better now?

I completely agree with the attitude that if you don't vote then tough ****. But I'm not going to deal with a misogynist acting as head of my country. Free speech exists and I'm going to scream about it until he's kicked right out or until the next election, whichever comes first. And if it doesn't fit your "sexism against women doesn't exist" agenda then crawl back into your safe space or move to Iraq.

That's only 4 American women.

When the immigration problems starts to hit the fan more and more over here and in Europe, we'll have a President who will at the very least, be on our level in terms of protecting Ireland.

That's a big one.

Yes, these imaginary immigration problems will hit any day now. Any day.

actually its exactly that , in a age of social media and 24/7 TV , a sports competition ( or more correctly a reality TV programme ) , Trump know this better then anyone. Its matters not what you say in elections, his feet will not be held to the fire, he will campaign on a 2nd term exactly in the same way , ( blame others , fear etc )

I personally dont fear Trump, I certainly would've preferred Jeb Bush, but Id take Trump over Cruz and the other ideologues. ideologues are very dangerous people, Trump is a complete pragmatist , he has no moral compass , he will chop and change and " do the deal ".

Pence on the other hand scares me

Note ISIS is over , are you following the situation in Mosul, unfortunately of course , another group will take its place

It may have been treated like a reality TV show by the Duck but I find it hard to believe that people who voted for all the radical bizarre mad ideas he came up with will vote for him again next time when he can't possibly deliver 10% of it. Especially if the Democrats come up with a candidate that isn't as universally despised as Hillary.

What is truly scary is the Duck has let the genie out of the bottle, a candidate can come from nowhere, with zero political experience and literally say whatever he wants to get elected (cf the Brexit campaign) and he can succeed.

In an age where there has never been more access to information, I think people have never been so stupid.

Was there as much outrage when Reagan, an actor, was elected? Was there as much outrage when Arnold was elected governer?
I thought he would win, but didn't believe he would. Think that sums it up best. I doubt much will actually change.

Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss

No he's not, and that's Mr President now.

Did Clinton concede via email?

Does your statement make any sense.

Probably not. I'm going back into my Safe Space - don't worry about it.

Yes , its a rather amazing situation, its hard to extract what this means in terms of women voters

(a) The glass ceiling is irrelevant ?
(b) Locker room talk has little effect on the vast majority of women ( do they secretly expect men to be like that ) ?
(c) A women president is not necessarily a womens friend?

hard to know

It was probably drawn among ideological lines before it was drawn on gender lines. A large segment of white women have tended to vote Republican anyway, Hillary's real mobilisation was supposed to be among minorities and having some sway on women voting Republican but it looks like there wasn't really that much of a tremendous shift.

I'd assume it's power politics at play, white Republicans (men or women) saw voting Republican as a way to secure their position, whereas minorities tended to vote Democrat because the Democrats tended to secure their position.
