    I wonder if all the celebs that said they would leave the US if Trump won are actually going to leave. Let's hope so
    There is the sad paradox of a world which is more and more sensitive about being politically correct, almost to the point of ridicule, yet does not wish to acknowledge or to respect believers’ faith in God

    Exactly what I said: CNN hasn't called Florida for Trump yet, even though the results are at 95%+ in, the major democratic areas are at 100% in, and theres no possible way it goes Clinton.

    They're dragging their feet, because they're in disbelief.

    Experts have suggested there are about 30 million people who would be off insurance, and also off Medicare.

    That means they are set to lose any chance of winning minorities in the future too.

    So in many respects it *looks* like this is a national scale re-run of what happened in California two decades ago. Republicans in the state started scapegoating minorities, and won the state governor election off the back of that. But it pushed all those minorities out of ever voting republican. Trump will have the same effect, and given that the country will be 2% less white every 4 years for decades, the republican party has committed long term suicide.
    If they keep chasing the right, they are running further and further from the collective will of the people which would be counter productive and would very much risk the chance of a raising 3rd party.

    Would hope they would take this as a lesson because they had a lock down with Sanders from what could be told and they threw it away on Clinton.

    Off topic, love your Avatar, so fitting for this thread.
    Since we can't call out Trolls and Bad Faith posters and the Ignore function doesn't actually ignore it. Add
    "mmo-champion.com##li.postbitignored"
    to your ublock or adblock filter to actually ignore ignored posters. Now just need a way to ignore responses to them as well.

When all the checks and balances are being split between the same two hyper-partisan groups, it opens the door to the a de-facto dictatorship any time a single party can claim them all. One can hope that Trump /won't/ abuse this, but the only way there will be any real checks or balances is if a group of moderates from both parties can get together and actually go against their party lines to perform that job. Which would be good for the country, but political suicide for everyone involved.
    Keep in mind, that he can pretty much do whatever he wants with the military. He can't launch nukes, but I would expect to see a lot of troops deployed soon. Wouldn't surprise me if the draft is started up again either. I'm too old for it now so it won't affect me, but still.

    Well, I am aware of the key figures in Australia, and sure, they aren't geniuses. But, at least, they do not have such power as the US president does, and, while their policies might be naive sometimes, they, at least, have some resemblance of intelligence!
