    You're going to see a lot of it if Trump is the failure everyone expects him to be. This whole blaming the left for everything. People are actually saying "Well...this is what happens when you call people racist." so what happens when you call people racist is that they elect someone who runs with xenophobic rhetoric?

    Your view of Obama's tenure and his popularity level right now simply doesn't line up with your thesis.

    Obama's popularity has never had anything to do with his policies..... I mean hell they gave him a Nobel Prize for simply being elected as president.

    Fewer than 40% of Americans support Obamacare, it's not popular.

    Looks like Hillary won the election... If popular vote mattered.

    What's up with this trend where Republicans keep on winning elections without a popular vote in terms of the national election AND congressional representation.

    Could anyone imagine the outcry and b****ing about a rigged system if Hillary won the electoral college but lost the popular vote? Civil War would have commenced.

    Dems are now going to panic every time Ginsburg starts momentarily choking on a tortilla chip.

    For sure, she's trying her best not to die in the next few years.....but I'm not sure she has any say over it.

    A possible silver lining here is that if Trump works, and at this point I just have to hope that it does, there's probably about 32 years of Trump on the stage that already have a significantly higher popularity rating than their father, and who are more level headed. That may scare a lot of people, 3 decades of Trump, but I am willing to look at it as they are all gaining training and experience by just being integrated into the White House.

    So, my final tally has Trump at 306 and Hillary at 232. Man that's just WAY different than I thought possible.

    Also it looks like the Senate is 52-48 led by Republicans.

    Is that all you have to say? Because you sure talked a lot of smack in the days leading up to the election.

    I was right.

    Trump got fewer votes than Romney and McCain, but democrats didn't turn out for Clinton, specifically blacks and young people. Trump won Wisconsin and Michigan because black people didn't vote in the numbers they have historically for democrats

    Props.

    Self-inflicted wounds are the most painful. And holy s*** what a time to stay home.

    You'll never win an election by voting against someone... neither party seems to ever learn that lesson.

    I'm headed there this weekend, can I get a ride? 11am on Saturday at IAH. Thanks mate.

    Haha, yes. Initial reaction was WTF but let's see what he has to offer. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt at the moment.

    You gotta give me more heads up than that bro. Offer still stands but the timing is bad.

    This video is funny with one exception: Ann Coulter is going to be around for a long time now.

    TV Show Veep= almost like Nostradamus.

    End of Season 4 - last year- female candidate Selina Meyer wins popular vote but ties with male candidate for U.S. President in Electoral College. Goes to Senate vote.
