Election Day and Results

[nobodythank you]

Like I said above - Podesta showed up at her campaign Hqs and essentially sent everyone home.

What a "leader".....

I don't think Trump would have reacted much better, if better at all, if he had lost.

First Brexit, now the POTUS election... How does all that "expert analysis" taste, guys?

Until someone calls it I don't think she should concede. Don't get me wrong, she fucking lost, but until someone calls it I don't see conceding.

"He'll never run. He'll never file. He'll never get above 10%. He'll never get above 15%. He'll never get above 20- 50%. He'll never get the delegates needed. He'll never be the nominee."

:blkeye:

Fair enough, but to send everyone home like that lacks class. She is doing exactly what she said Trump would do. To me, it speaks to her character.

Yeah, I can see going to bed, its only the President of the United States of America on the line....sure.....I bet its that pesky pneumonia again...

Hillary Clinton has officially conceded according to CNN.

And Clinton just called Donald Trump and conceded the election.

 

[Blizzard]

Fox News has called it and Trump is coming on to give his speech right now. Holy shit.

 

[TLDR20]

If she was going to concede within the hour she should have made a speech. Pretty fucking weak.

 

[Blizzard]

Kind of a "different" speech. I don't know that I'd call it inspiring...maybe subdued?

Flipping between networks. The Dolts on MSNBC are their typical classless selves. That network should go away.

 

[Ranger Psych]

No shit, eh.

You seem surprised.

So, "main stream media" has blown another election. How does this play out for them? Tough to recover.

 

[DocIllinois]

I'll be damned, the moron won it.

Life will go on but what a terrible choice. Reaction in the coming days will be interesting, to say the least.

To be honest I think you should practice what you preach. She sure seemed to do what I feared Trump would do, she tried to take her ball and go home. That is a loser move in my opinion.

I mean, they can only publish poll results. When people are dishonest, or they aren't being polled there is only so much they can do.

Everyone knows Hillary is never available between 2 and 3am. Just ask Chris Stevens.

Agree to a point but then they should probably do away with the speculation altogether (we both know that won't happen). But, in my view, it's even bigger than that. It's also how they chose to cover/demonize him over the past year and a half. Unless the media can figure out how to detach themselves from "the story" and refocus objectively, they'll very quickly find themselves irrelevant. They took another step in that direction today. A disconnect clearly exists between them and the populace. Revelations, such as the one with CNN, don't help their case. They're losing or have lost the trust of the public.

That there is fucking solid.

I was watching on CBS online the coverage.... it was hilarious as they were still trying to shill the party line, and actually weren't reporting what Google was, that Trump was in the lead all over the place. Their responses, facial expressions, everything was "oh shit we dun fucked up" in such a huge way it was glorious to watch. Then when Google was coming back with him even more in the lead, then that he won, their tune started to change towards how awesome he was as an individual, bla de blah... hilarity. I haven't seen anyone backpedal that hard since I was a kid in a paddleboat race and it was the final stretch with the dock looming in view.

MAGA.

Watching Anderson Cooper throughout the night was entertaining. I pictured him going off screen to throw up between takes.

Let's go to Facebook and see how my friends react.

 

[Brill]

Podesta is playing cheerleader right now.

Telling the crowd to go home, we'll see you in the morning.....

His "proof of life" video.

I'm still shocked.
