    All the republicans here are claiming they didn't vote for Trump. Many claim they voted for Johnson. But oddly, Trump received all those votes. And Johnson didn't. Funny the math doesn't add up.

    The Trump people were right.. a Hidden vote. Soon noone will admit they voted for Trump.

    Last, ACA. How many years did republicans fail to do anything about preexisting conditions. Hell, even after ACA became law, republicans failed to do anything about preexisting conditions. So sure, consider me skeptical that you republicans will now.

    So sure, my candidate failed. I backed the wrong candidate. Your candidate won. For the hope of the country I hope he is successful. That he isn't as much of an idiot that he seems.

    Interesting. Negatively or positively?

    Those corn fed Midwesterners might be onto something. The system is already broken.

    I expect some more silly valley billionaries to go Koch style in a few years.

    That or accelerate their space programs.

    The DNC did a disservice to themselves when they pre-selected a candidate. :(

    So now the Democrats AND the Republicans are out of power. Classic.

    I was thinking about this as the election went on tonight. Especially because I voted third party.

    The thing is, if Gary Johnson weren't to have run, Hillary would have needed just about all of his votes in each of those states to win them. There's absolutely no guarantee that would have been the case.

    Positively. Telling me where to vote. Some asking if I was voting for Hillary.

    I just deleted them.

    My wife got them as well.

    I wish the Republicans would have put Kasich up. He was the right man for the job, in my opinion.

    I just think he may have been too vanilla to best Hillary, as crazy as that sounds.

    Dems have no majority in any branch of office. They don't even have that many governorships or state legislatures.

    Maybe if they stopped sucking Wall Street **** they'd be a credible "people's party".

    True, but Gary Johnson got more votes than Jill Stein. In a lot of the states, only Stein's votes would have been enough to give Hillary the victory. I wasn't even counting Johnson. I was only counting Stein and the 5% of Bernie voters that said they wouldn't support Hillary. Some of those obviously went to Stein. Some may have not voted, some may have voted for Johnson, and who knows a few outsider passionate people may have even voted for Trump.

    You don't find it more strange Hillary didn't receive these votes? You should feel angry the media manipulated and lied to you.

    I said it many months ago this election would have been closer than expected, but tonight's results has been just crazy and really unpredictable. Trump really had a lot of hidden voters, like millions.

    For those who think Trump is going to destroy this country, chill out. Presidents don't have that much power. The republic will survive whatever comes.

    Clinton won more counties where at least 45% of the population was black

    Trump won more counties where less than 10% of adults had bachelor's degrees
