2016 Election Thread (ROUND FIVE!)

[BigD]

6.5 million people have voted in Floriada and Clinton is only ahead by 85k? Doesn't seem like a huge lead.

That's not what was said. It means registered Democrats have turned in 85k more ballots than registered Republicans. Independents voted too.

Trump kinda admitted he's an atheist

 

[909]

Trump also looks like he knows he's gonna lose.

Ah, thanks.

Most Latinos in Florida are supposedly not party affiliated either or are Republicans because they hate Castro, so that's a bad sign for Trump. Lots of Cubans and Puerto Ricans think Trump would come for them after coming for Mexicans.

Obama just made a GOAT speech

I'm gonna miss him. There's lots he did that made me shake my head, but he was overall a hell of a leader and totally turned both the country and its reputation around after one of the most embarrassing presidencies in history. Baracka Flocka Flame for life.

Also, now's probably a good time to revisit my original prediction for this election. Think I got pretty close.

[quote author=me, in April 2014]
It's going to be exactly like 2012. GOP wins a ton of seats in the 2010/2014 midterms, becomes overly confident because it rejects all evidence showing how different presidential and midterm years are, and ends up picking a terrible hates the-poors-and-minorities candidate because homos are scary. Said candidate gets utterly destroyed in the 2012/2016 presidential election by an overwhelmingly popular moderate Democrat who appeals to a wide range of demographics beyond old white guys. "Has Hilary murdered someone" and "did Hilary used to be a man" become the new "he's a Muslim" and "wharrs the birth certificate."

By the time the GOP gets the presidency back--maybe in 2024 or 2032?--we'll already have single payer health care, legal weed, and legal gay marriage in every state, meaning you can smoke joints and pole for free in Alabama and there ain't shit Paul Ryan can do about it. SORRY CRACKERS

Hey I like that idea let me go back to when THE BIG DON first got the lead in this thing

[quote author=me in like July 2015]
Name value + speaking with authority + a weird form of charisma + the combo of Americans in general ranking highest in confidence and below average in intelligence = Fuck he's gotta a shot at this thing if this just isn't the usual "every new GOP candidate gets a run at the top for a few weeks" that happened last go round.

I liked it better when I thought this would be Jeb! Time.

Sometimes I feel like he's too cool to be president and should be like embassador of world

 

[still fly]

I'm ready for the end of Obama. He's done a bunch of positive things but his leadership leaves a lot to be desired in a lot of fronts.

 

[Brooklyn Zoo]

He's too cool and too mature to be president to deal with all the children in congress

If he was white, he would have turned a lot of Republicans onto him before he left office for this very reason.

 

[snuffbox]

Will the dumbest senator, Ron Johnson, win again?

 

[Baby Shoes]

Didn't get to watch Obama's speech but after reading this I want to find it

Nah, looks like he's done.

As it stands it the Dems likely pick up at least three seats but getting the necessary four to get the 50/50 split with the VP tiebreak is probably going to hinge on New Hampshire where it's a toss up between Kelly Ayotte (R) and Maggie Hassan (D). There's still a path to a 51-49 edge for them if Hassan wins and Jason Kander in Missouri wins, who's in a tight a race but trailing.

 

[BruiserBrody]

Will the dumbest senator, Ron Johnson, win again?

He's been down pretty much the whole race in polling. Hillary is +5 in WI IIRC, so Feingold should win

6,424,595 Floridians have so far cast absentee ballots or voted during the early voting period, which has now closed in the Sunshine State. During the race between George W. Bush and Al Gore, 5,963,110 votes were recorded in total, according to the Florida secretary of state's office.

Democrats currently lead Republicans in early voting, 40% to 38%, with 22% not belonging to either party.

I'm already pissed watching Fox News as they are interviewing diner workers who are voting for Trump. One says she doesn't have health care, and a few others are poor. Then they interview their owner/boss and I'm just thinking he's the fuckface to blame, not Obama.

Newt came on next and talked about how they may lose Pennsylvania because of their long history of voter fraud. Newt of course thinks all the close races are going to Trump.

It's going to be a long day.

 

[Damaramu]

Well he's not a bad guy Brody! That dirty Kenyan Muslim forced him to cut wages and offer smaller portions.

No joke we had a famous burger restaurant here switch to a lower quality bun. Now nobody would have known he did, but he put signs up all over his restaurant saying he did because he had to cut costs thanks to Obamacare. Fucking rednecks.

Also Dadaramu is sharing a video of Hillary supposedly stumbling around and needing help to walk at the airport last night. She's UNFIT to lead!

Trump Tower turned into a Manhattan fortress for Election Day.

Huge New York City sanitation trucks, practically stuck to each other from tip to tail, completely covered the Fifth Avenue block in front of the high rise, with barricades and heavily-armed police and Secret Service standing guard around the rest of the building.

“It’s Election Day” is the reason for the intense security, according to the officer working one of two magnetometers inside the building's gold front doors.

Hardly anyone other than the building tenants were able to get beyond the questions made at each barrier, so the retail businesses inside such as the Starbucks were unusually sparse.

The Republican nominee has his real-estate business and campaign headquarters in Trump Tower. He also resides in the penthouse with his wife Melania and 10-year-old son.

The scene on Tuesday resembled a SWAT team set. In addition to many more Secret Service agents than usual, scores of New York City police surrounded the Tower, including some wearing helmets and armed with rifles.

[NoCalMike]

That SWAT team will probably end up storming the tower later when Trump goes totally nuts.

 

[Damaramu]

Heading out to vote here in about an hour. I'll be voting for Hilldawg and for cold beer in Oklahoma liquor stores (don't ask)....

 

[909]

We have 16 or 17 propositions. Voting to legalize weed, repeal the death penalty, ban plastic grocery bags, and tax the rich. Among other things.
