Let's see, the 30% or so of people who love Trump will be seething in anger, the 70% or so who loathe him will not be. That's well short of "half" Conversely, if by some miraculous Russian vote hacking scheme, Trump wins, 70% fo the country will be seething in anger. That's well more than "half" Good maths though.
I expect Democrats to retake the Senate in addition to the presidency. A couple of liberal justices will step down to give Clinton ample time to get liberal replacements appointed. Only Paul Ryan will stand in the way of complete Democratic domination. And he appears to be a deal-maker (or do yall call it a cuck on that side of the aisle?). He'll have enormous pressure to obstruct Clinton, but his intuition is to make sensible deals. So, I expect to see a lot of the gridlock ease up, though Ryan may get pushed out as a result. He has to be very careful because he'll be running for president in 2024. But, the most interesting story is what happens to the Republican Party after this. I keep thinking they can't go on this way, but they do. But, after losing the Presidential race in a landslide, losing the Senate in the bargain, and then suffer the indignity of several Clinton Justices, they need to do some serious soul-searching. I will not be surprised to see a new party started, either for 'true conservatives' or for populists. These two groups cannot continue to co-exist. Can they? The problem isn't that. It's that you think it's fair to characterize recent history as Republicans conceding too much to President Obama.
Yeah, the people that were riled up and somehow saw a spokesperson won't go away when the election is over. Their anger and presence will live on. They are a huge part of the base and how Republican candidates end up becoming the nominee. So if Republicans try and ignore them they will be angry and motivated enough to continue voting. If the Republicans don't court and appease those voters they will lose their base. If they do court and appease those voters they will lose elections.
The more Clinton pulls ahead the more I worry . In effect a presidential mandate means nothing unless they also carry congressional seats . I don't think that will happen this election . People are probably more likely just to not vote . I the republicans stay in control of both houses and nothing gets done as per usual. Healthcare costs will continue to be the scariest monster since the financial crisis and foreign policy will continue to cost money that the government does not have . But at least weed night be legal where you live.
Sorry I wasted u a few times. I only condescend 2 people who (u) r below me. . . . November 9 will look like:
SOS, new decade Conflict is just the human condition. We are evolved to serve our self-interest first, and our tribal interest second and the greater good last.
On 11/09, I will be on a beach in Hawaii. If the entire nation shuts down, I can think of worse places to be stuck.
As of today, 538 politics has the Democrats with a 77% chance of winning control of the Senate. http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-forecast/senate/?ex_cid=2016-forecast
