I wonder if next time we'll see an election actually fought on issues rather than smears. I feel like so much time was spent attacking Trump over sexual comments that he wasn't challenged properly and now I have no idea what his presidency will really be like.

Whenever Sanders got the spotlight, he turned it to the issues.  Sometimes Clinton managed to get in a word about issues also.
Trump?  Just fueled the hype with a mixture of vagueness and controversial statements.  He had every opportunity to explain his position.

Which honestly if I gave Trump credit... I'd think he was genius!

Him constantly causing controversy worked HIGHLY in his favor.

Why the fuck did Wisconsin have to decide it.

Fuck you Wisconsin, you ducking ad bastard shit folls

He was attacked all bloody over on the sodding issues, too. Constantly, t'boot. Not enough people cared, apparently. They didn't want articles on his using charity funds to bribe judges, on the millions to refused to pay his workers, on the tax issues and illegal workers and all the other nasty shit he's came out saying or doing. People wanted emails and pussy.

Honestly, one of the most intensely screwed up things about this election was that issues were a driving force for it, actually one of the things that got substantial and dedicated attention given to it. It's just people decided they liked the lies about clinton and vacuous deception from trump more than they liked everything of substance that was actually said. To the point I've seen more than one person say they never heard anything said of issues when I'd actually fucking talked to them in open discussion on the exact damn thing. I've seen folks goddamn quote clinton's platform one week and then say she's never said anything on the subject the next, distracted by all the shit the media was spewing out. This gorram year has been a mess.

Absolutely glorious day.

Sanders was a plant by the Clintons anyway.

Have you watched Trump at all?  He doesn't form concrete policy points.  He forms great policy points, the best policy points.  He's going to make more great policy points than any other president, in the history of the US, has ever made.  He never said policy points were bad in that interview two days ago.  And he certainly wasn't anti-policy point ten years ago!  Why are you even asking Trump about his policy points, you should be asking crooked Hillary!

(seriously tho, Trump has not once said anything concrete about law proposals or budget changes)

I hope this doesn't inflate his ego

You are a legend for being able to joke at a time like this, David Brooks.

Ok... So how long until Trump actually becomes President?

I know he doesn't just get teleported into the White House with a golden crown (That is how the UK elections work right?)

[Gentlefish]

Fingers crossed that the  trump-clinton conspiracy is real.

He's about to speak.

[hector13]

January 17th or something.

Hillary conceded.

January 21st.
Go get your doom preparations done before new years.

Google says the Inauguration (sp) is January 20th, I guess he actually takes office the next day probably

There should be a word for when you chuckle at a funny bit of sarcasm.  Then... you begin to wonder...
Poe's Law, I guess.

Trump has made concrete policy plans though. I've seen Trump supporters sharing them. Look up his Contract with the American Voter. But they don't even get mentioned here.

Maybe the cultural divide between democrats and republicans is more serious than we thought. It seems like this election happened in two separate realities.

Hillary conceded.

Hey now wait a minute. I'm on a live CNN feed, and they were arguing that Clinton wasn't going to concede until tomorrow.

E: Well now it hits my feed.
