While I find this entertaining, Trump is a loving ninja when it comes to avoiding responsibility, and dodging bullets. He is like a loving eel swimming through the reeds, and I can't get excited until something actually happens beyond the GOP/Government in general do something besides, "Well, shucks."

This was always my motivation. I didn't like that she got a pass just for being a Democrat. I don't know how to explain why Trump gets away with everything, it's utterly baffling.

I'm curious because I think you're the voter that Democrats need to reach most: someone who didn't vote for Hillary but who loathes and is confused by Trump. Like, what do people who wanted to Trump That Bitch because of her e-mails think about this? In an objective, retrospective sense (I absolutely do not mean to be condescending), was it worth it?

I was pissed about the emails but still voted for Hillary because I thought she'd ultimately be a good president regardless. And however bad her infosec, his was and is a million times worse.


But for some reason people can't admit that their candidate has a flaw but would still be worthy of office.

Many of them didn't vote for trump either. No idea what Godholio did. But many went 3rd party/write in or chose not to vote for president.

It was 100% inevitable.

It's just absolutely loving amazing he did it in physical proximity to the foreign minister and ambassador.

A good point on twitter though: if the Washington Post didn't get this thing out, holy gently caress the Russians would've had some serious kompromat on Donnie. Really bad.

IYAAYAS is probably cleaning up his social media presence for either a job in politics or a sensitive hire. But, torch from falling hands: I still think Hillary was unconscionably lazy about infosec, and that the investigation would have been much more aggressive if it had been a lower level functionary. If she didn't know better, she should have. The best thing I could say about her was that she aligned with my views on a few more issues than Trump does (did? Who knows what he actually believes besides his own aggrandizement.)

Trump is still worse. He should never have been president. What he did wasn't treason, but between that, and his firing of the FBI director (which was blatant obstruction of justice whether he cares to admit it or not,) and what appear to be serial violations of federal record keeping laws, he ought to be impeached and removed from office.

Also if Hillary won Trump would be nonstop tweeting about how he'd never do what Hillary was doing and people would believe him. Trump actually got traction as anti war and anti corruption and as long as he never got office he could continue to be all things to his fans.

I still wish Hillary had won but if she had her reign would be brutal and probably short.

If the country can somehow survive the next four years, it may end up being a net positive for Democrats. There was no way the Democrats were going to be able to take back the House or Senate in 2018 under a Clinton presidency, or even 2020-and 2020 is going to be an especially critical year for redistricting. With the right candidate in this timeline, the Democrats could easily generate enough momentum for a 2008-esque wave election in 2020, whereas Clinton's reelection in that year would have hardly been assured.

Or, Trump and the Republicans might just run the country into the ground hard enough that there's no way to recover. Either-or. :shepicide:

^But they'll have to actually do something first. Sitting on their haunches and waiting for everything to roll in because of course it will is exactly what happened in 2016. And so far I don't see much evidence that they're going to change strategy. Most of the Trump supporters I know are still Trump supporters. Waiting for him to gently caress up just one more time isn't going to cut it.

The ones I know are mostly the Ben Ghazi types. There are a couple that are starting to recognize reality, though.

All the Democrats had to do to get my vote was give me a reasonable option. At least 3/4 of the (D) senators would've worked. I despised both candidates and knew exactly what my state was going to do anyway, so I voted none of the above.

Hilary did a literal CEO of a non-tech company thing (it would have been ~in the cloud~ in 2017) and may have compromised classified information.

Trump told FSB the whats and the wheres of an allied country's intelligence that they have agreed to share with us.

This, I feel, was one of the biggest hurdles that Clinton faced that she was never able to overcome. Everyone knew she was going to win, so why even bother voting for her if she wasn't the one you *really* wanted?

Except then it turned out in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin that it did actually matter, but by the time people realized that the election was already over.

Yeah, those dipshits were singing "na na na na, na na na na, hey hey, goodbye" at Republicans after the AHCA passed. They're convinced that Republicans will gently caress up, and voters will just come crawling back without them having to change a thing.
