I'm not good at numbers either.

Well, given he's promised not to touch entitlements, do a big trillion dollar infrastructure spend, and cut taxes across the board, how do you come up in the black?

The math is seriously against you, unless you are going to gut the military, but he said he's not going to do that either.

A lot of Trump votes, I feel, were anti-Clinton votes.

The fact that the FBI scandal came out so late didn't help either. Regardless of the newspaper and media efforts into staving off the damage the two days before the election by printing and posting the story in their main pages, it didn't really help Clinton.


Yeah I can kind of agree with that actually. She certainly didn't do anything to make people like her.

You didn't read my post, did you?


You've missed a whole lot of mine. Way ahead of you on many of these possibilities months ago. Trouble is no one listened. Doesn't matter now.

The opposite is true, too. Many Hillary votes were simply anti-Trump votes. They're both terrible candidates, after all.

Sorry, Poe's Law is getting me it seems. I haven't made an intellectual decision over the best way to deal with bathroom politics, or rather one I'm satisfied with. It's a conversation we need to have as a nation, not one that needs to be resolved by executive fiat.

She didn't have much of a choice, really.

Clinton is not the most "out there" gal in the universe. Trump did a remarkably good job at damage control because of his outgoing personality and his outgoing surrogates.

Clinton had the exact opposite reaction to damage control, which is clam on the press releases. That didn't help with the already "out of touch" persona she had to fight against in public perception and that she created for decades.
