Huh, so the crazy lady yelling about Romney losing video was posted at the end of the last thread (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLoqti0lzAw) and I decided to see what she was up to and how many 'trump that bitch' shirts she owned. Turns out shes a die hard Glenn Becker nevertrump who hates his guts and can't wait for him to lose and has turned on Sean Hannity and Gingrich etc. I was not expecting that.

So how does everyone think election night will go down?

Will Pence have to give a concession speech?
Will Ranch Penis have to give the concession speech on behalf of the GOP?
Will Trump promise to litigate it and say its not over?
Will Trump call for people to protest?
Will Trump just fly back to new york and pretend he never ran for president and refuse to comment on it when the blowout is too large to fight?
Will Trump shock the world and actually give a concession speech?

Boy, sure is exciting having a loving lunatic running that won't even let the first woman president win with any grace. So many possibilities!

Its just so surreal. In any given year its not even a question, one person wins, the loser calls them, gives a nice little speech speaking well about the winner and walks away.

Trump is so crazy he's not even going to stick to that most basic of things, he's like some insane orange 10k dollar weave Alexander the great cutting the gordian knot of civility.

iirc you need two thirds of the Senate to vote for an impeachment and at present there is literally zero chance of either party ever holding 67 out of 100 Senate seats.

Well thats good to know.

Generic Democrat beats Trump by 10. Kaine was a popular senator and governor from a purple state with zero scandals in his background. He would be cruising.

I actually think there isn't a candidate available to put up who could be doing better than her. Shes got at least the support Obama had, plus shes picked off women support from the GOP like no one else has and probably would have been able to.

If you want to blame the closeness, blame the media narrative and a GOP electorate that would vote for Hitler with a shrug as long as he was running as a republican.

Pretty much every Republican who has endorsed Trump's main argument to vote for him is "We have to beat Hillary Clinton." That never works on someone like Kaine who doesn't have the 30 year history she does.


It feels very "Romney binders full of women" to just list a bunch of minorities and women... I'm sure you can guess who I would mention. Pretty much any democrat who is a national elected and doesn't have her negatives.

Good points, but you're missing the fact that shes running a great campaign and any other available candidate would be doing worse than her.

Those aren't negatives. In fact her gun history would've been a positive in the general. She doesn't have 30 years of baggage.

I agree it would definitely help her, or at least be less likely to be used against her. On the other hand though, its pretty clear that she would be doing worse than Hillary is.

Probably already been discussed, but my favourite quote that I saw a day or two ago about the Trump campaign was from some old GOP strategist who said something like "He's not running a campaign, he's running a concert tour." Of course the buses didn't work and like a dozen people actually went to vote after the rally, because Trump's only campaign goal is to get as many people into arenas as he can and then say whatever makes them cheer the loudest. Everything else is extraneous. I wouldn't be surprised if he keeps having rallys after the election as a narcissistic idiot speaking tour (Real Talk With Trump! or some other dumb poo poo) because I think they're only part of the political process that he seems to be enthusiastic about and I don't know if he wants to let the high go.

Hey he can bill it as the TRUE state of the union addresses from the REAL president, not that phony one the (((globalists))) put into fake power.

I would love if the GOP impeached Clinton, she gracefully stepped down, and then we had President Kaine.

Because as long as he doesn't gently caress it up ( and he wouldn't ), he'd have

- a better approval rating then Hillary since he isn't Hillary

and

- a better approval rating then the GOP for the stunt they just pulled.

And then we'd get to watch the GOP clench up hard as they realize they just guaranteed the Presidency to the Dems for the next 8/16 years.

I don't want a woman who has worked so hard, gone through so much poo poo, and is the first and so far only female president ever to step down and have to take that poo poo on top of everything else.

Demographics were supposed to make 2016 unwinnable for a Republican, and despite offending Hispanic voters as much as they probably could, this election is looking like it's going to be won because of college educated white voters that Trump alienated.

The presumption hinges mostly on the prisoner's dilemma of the GoP where they are essentially forced by their base to enact policy that is poisonous to minority voters. Admittedly these numbers suggest that Latinos are growing dissatisfied with the Dems, but they do not suggest that they are moving to the GoP. In theory, the Republican party could make the policy changes needed to court these voters, but at that point it's hard to imagine how they would be any different policy wise from the centrist Democrats.

I honestly don't know what can change to make the GOP more palatable on the national stage. This election has proved the base doesn't give two shits about one single piece of long standing GOP economic policy. They are in it for guns, gays, racism, fetuses, and their own jobs, nothing more. The problem is those core issues, outside of their jobs, are just not winning issues, they're dying out. So what do you make a transformation on? You change those and you now have no party outside of bow-tie wearing college republicans.
