There were 6MM 3rd party votes , almost 5% vs 1.7% the previous 2 cycles
If you take demographically the GOP traditional base is shrinking proportionally of total,
doesn’t that show growth is likely coming across the aisle?
Just musing here
I am NOT saying you are wrong…
What I am saying though is this: it depends 100% on the economy, whether trump policy effects or not.
If we see some sort of boom in the next four years, and things get markedly better… He’ll smoke everyone in 2020, and without a major recession in those four years, the GOP would become the party of the “working people”…
Couple this with the fact the left is seemingly doubling down on the elitist “ur da racist” strategy of controlling the world’s opinions, thoughts and speech… You’ll see minority voters start swinging GOP too.
The fact the democrats treat blacks like helpless moronic pets that NEED them to accomplish getting out of bed in the morning doesn’t piss them off blows my mind… Well if “shit trump was potus when all the jobs “came back”, I have work and dignity, I don’t need anyone to tell me how to live like the democrats did anymore”
How likely is this? About as likely that Hilary is the last women Bill slept with is… But so was Trump winning.
Fair enough, good point.
Hey man, I’ve learned enough from reading your posts over the years.
This is one time I felt confident enough to chime in with a knowledge-bomb.

Hey thanks.
I was very sincere though. I never really looked at it from that perspective and it’s a better one than I had.
True, I also think it depends which policy he actually decides to implement. Does he let Paul Ryan tackle entitlements? who knows.
Funny how that works. Ignore people and they give you the middle finger.
This is a key point. My facebook feed is full of people saying how hate won and they need to fight for minorities. I’m curious how this plays out over 4 years, but do you really see them swinging to GOP? I see them crying and whining louder now that they have somebody to bitch about.
Haha exactly… no clue what is going to happen.
Yes, assuming the economic gains I spoke about, yes.
All I’m saying is, it isn’t impossible for the demographic splits in the country to start looking like the white vote and fairly evenly divided amongst themselves. It’s unlikely to happen right now imo, but it will, eventually.
I would agree. As a side note I watched Obama’s morning after speech…that was a really classy speech.
Shaking my head

He should step down or be removed, then maybe go hide for awhile.
His letter to the editor was first sent to the NYT, it seems.
While well reasoned, it felt like another last ditch effort to #neverTrump.
Here is the letter.
If electors will not remain faithful to the will of the people they represent, there is no point in having an election. Or should I say, there is no point for the masses to think their votes count if electors can change their mind. This is the type of shit that could start a civil war.

Absolutely, fools like this do more harm than good.

So are they not voting for Hillary either? Even if several people did this it wouldn’t be a big deal since the electoral votes were not that close.
What’s funny is the non-EC people who actually think something like this stands a chance, they forget the EC are at least from the same party they are supposed to vote for so its not like some pro Hillary liberal is the one that’s supposed to cast an EC vote for their red state.
From what I read, yes, some electors are not voting for Hillary either. So it essentially washes out.
This is all just grandstanding by butthurt Democrats. They lost all 3 branches of government under Obama’s watch, perhaps they should examine what led up to that rather than whine about losing.
I don’t have a link at the moment but before the election I remember reading some article about a guy in Washington state who declared they were not going to vote for Hillary, I assume they were on the EC for the dems in that state. This was before the election so they probably thought she would win.
It will be interesting to see the final numbers though.
