Anyone know anything about this? I would have thought this would be a far higher number, even with the party-line sheeple on both sides.
    Only 18% ???? That's hard to believe.

    The wannabe feminists are my favorite so far. Yeah...she totally lost because she's a woman.
    I'm sure there's plenty of male dems like me who voted for Bernie b/c hes left of Hillary and knew she was a seriously corrupt and flawed candidate.. but ..come on man.. its not like her being a woman isnt an issue that played into that demographic of even dem voters that didnt vote for her.

    Reince already said there will not be a deportation force, so there's that...
    There won't. Take it from today's Smartest Guy in the Room. :)

    An insignificant issue.

    I'd be happy if he simply insisted that the law be enforced. ...all of them.

    Otherwise, what's the point of having laws and a legislative branch.

    ...Bernie would be too old (80) I think???? But some possible names would be;

    Sherrod Brown
    or
    Joe Biden but Corry Booker is a possibility but he's pretty young.

    Most likely Julian Castro would be my guess.

    Do you really believe the electorate is honestly that far left?

    Going to local issues, have to love the party-line voters of Franklin County for electing a treasurer who has declared bankruptcy three times, has a misdemeanor conviction for writing a hot check, and a felony drug conviction. Makes me feel good about sending her my property tax check for our house up there.

    How do you know who I voted for? Why do you assume everyone that can't stand Hillary is a Trump "supporter?" If you are anything like the left wing media, you will be very quick to label me... misogynistic, xenophobic, sexist, racist, just because I did NOT vote for her. You don't care what my views are, or who I voted for. All you care about (left wing media) is attacking me b/c I didn't vote for Hillary. I wrote in a candidate.

    Was not an issue. At all. You're supposed to be smart. She was the most corrupt candidate ever. Get your head out of your ass.

    I've seen SOME media talking heads, however, eat their crow and put the blame on themselves. Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity in particular. Rather than point blame fingers, they are saying how far they've come (in the wrong direction).

    Why is Trump any more of a flawed "human being" than Hillary? Why isn't Hillary also considered a "flawed human being?" This really is an honest question.

    It doesn't work that way just because you assert it so. I don't know what's in peoples hearts, only speculating off what the data shows.. just like you don't either to make a claim that it wasnt an issue.

    Mostly white PEOPLE yes. But he also pulled more black vote then Romney. Fucking calling everyone racist, sexist, and homophobic is absurd, simply because they don't agree with what you do. Oh didn't vote for Hillary, sexist. Didn't vote for obama, racist. Don't want people with dicks in girls bathrooms, homophobic. Gimme a fucking break.
