They did the same thing for retirement homes when Obama won.

The thing is, I've had to accept the fact that Hillary ran a god awful campaign. You can disagree all you want, but it's actually disappointing that the Democratic party decided it was better to constantly **** on Trump while Trump was out campaigning for his win. Hillary rarely ever put forward why she would be the better choice. A lot of her stand was "We can't let a man who runs a bad campaign win", which was her fall in the long run.

Plus, not to mention the dems decided to pull Bernie away and give us a worse candidate.

From what admittedly little I know of it, it seems the Dems were too arrogant, assuming they had it in the bag. It's kind of like the football team from the third division who thinks they have no hope against the Premier League guys (Americanise this however you wish) and the PL team don't even train, go on holidays, sleep till noon then turn up expecting to yawn their way through a 6-0 victory, and are taken apart by the minnows in a "dramatic upset that nobody could see coming!"

Yeah well, if you don't even try, then you don't deserve to win, and I think a lot of people saw zero effort from the Brutal Overlord Clin-Ton, so decided **** you I'll vote for Trump, who, whatever you think of him, was campaigning all the hours Satan sends, and everywhere he could, esp traditional Dem states and cities. One of the reasons why there were so many upsets, no?

I agree with everything you said here. Whether people believe it or not, Trump was constantly getting people on his side with his "saying things nobody else says" demeanor, and unfortunately that worked for a large part of this country. The end result is pretty self explanatory:



Election 2016 - Live Results - President Map

It's fairly obvious that Clinton relied on people to vote instead of getting out and ensuring people will vote, hence why Trump gained so many states, and even some previously blue states.

I'm not denying you were right, but people come to realizations at different times. Am I still ok with voting for her? Of course. I had to really consider the pros and cons, and the pros outweighed the cons. If I had the choice, would I have voted for Johnson or Stein or Bernie? Probably not.

Here's the thing. For every negative thing you can accuse Clinton of, you can basically accuse Trump of pretty much the same. Questionable financial dealings to build personal wealth being the most common ground between them.

But Trump has a ****load more baggage in other areas.

And, for every positive thing you can point to that Clinton has done politically and privately to help kids, women, gays, US security, etc., there's basically nothing you can point to in Trump's career that even comes close to having the same positive results.

That's why I get so pissed when people are so quick to lump them together at the hip.
