The electoral college votes on Dec19th, and it was the Republicans who actually united as candidates in a campaign against Trump, so it wouldn't be impossible that they simply give their vote to Hillary, to keep the status quo. It's extremely unlikely, given the ****storm that will result, particularly given people's tantrums on the streets lately, but it's not impossible....Keep in mind, Trump has court cases coming too, one over the University and one much more serious allegation of rape of a 13 year old in 94. Worth bearing in mind.

The BBC news website four months ago put the nail on the head when they actually visited Trump-prone areas, and it wasn't about racism or mysogeny ( http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36752237 ) . Even though these articles in no way defend Trump or his positions, they explain clearly why the Democrats lost. Shame nobody in the American media or DNC reads the BBC.

I find a lot of US politicians still pander to it, in much the same way as 1960s/70s Irish centrists used to piously demonstrate how close to the church they were. Even in Clinton's concession speech, she made references to scripture and you could tell it was all just a PR box ticking exercise. I still don't see how it would justify voting Trump, but if you were a genuine centre left voter, I could see exactly how Clinton would be off putting. You can see how she didn't enthuse a lot of voters who would have gone for Bernie. In an Irish context, she's more like a 1980s Fianna Failer,but so are most of the mainstream US politicians on the democratic side of the house. The republicans are closer to the DUP. Ireland's actually moved on a huge amount over the last 20 years, where as the US political system really hasn't. It has areas of enlightenment but it's mostly a very different, far more religiously conservative culture than we have here these days. Increasingly, I just find a lot of political culture in the US very alien and really regressive. We're definitely heading down two different tracks and perhaps had more in common 30+ years ago. With Clinton though I just felt like it was a case of "I passionately believe in whatever it is you believe in!"
Feels great knowing I voted for anti establishment candidate ready to #MAGA3X I voted for America today.🇺🇸

Isn't the liberal credo to love and respect people of all faiths? or is there an exemption for cases where said faith happens to be christianity?
