Yes, I voted for Hillary and I am sick of the garbage about her being the same as Trump. One politician does not run our entire government and there have always been checks and balances on all three branches. Our ideas as voters are still on the right side of history. Better pay for workers, women's rights to control their own bodies. Taxing the rich and ending corporate welfare. Neither Hillary or Bill for that matter were known nationally when Reagan won his first election in 1980 and started the age of deregulation and union busting and the competition for poverty wages. The only thing our party can be accused of is too much compromise and voter apathy at the local and state level, but 36 years of GOP gerrymandering also has not helped.

So at my polling place yesterday, some dipshit had that stupid Trump hat on "Make Germany Great Again", and tried to hand me a conservative ticket sample passing him and my response, "No thanks, I don't vote for bigots".

November 8th will not take all night to call and there will be no 2000 repeat. The only unknown will be how big the gap is. Get used to "Madam President".

I am voting this morning. My candidate will not win. I agree we will be saying Madam President soon. Then again, Americans should not underestimate themselves.

Trump had no business getting as far has he did in any case. His comments on Hispanics should have sank him. His calling captured Veterans losers should have sank him. His 5 years of birtherism and year of scapegoating everyone is NOTHING either party should aspire to. He is a result of decades of right wing coded dog whistle bigotry and cold war commie bullshit.

When you have 50 REPUBLICAN law agents condemning you, on top of Generals who served under both parties calling you dangerous, you are just that. Trump has gone way beyond the political mudslinging that has always existed in our history. He has piled onto that Jim Crow, McCarthism and the scapegoating demagoguery hyper nationalism of WW2 Germany.

He has made extremely dangerous comments about harming political rivals thinking he can pass that off as just "talk". That asshole doesn't understand or does and simply does not care, that his WWE Jerry Springer act may play well on cable TV and shock jock radio, but it has no place in politics in the civil west.

FUCK TRUMP and I will be glad when he has his ass handed to him.

Trump will be going to court twice before the year is over including this http://www.rawstory.com/2016/11/witness-...er-victim/

I voted by mail a few days back. I actually felt empowered rather than confused. I used Ballotpedia for the first time, as well as SDVote. Usually my info gathering leaves a whole ton to be desired. But this time, I was informed.

I wanna vote again!

If Trump doesn't become president I'll be happy.

Its America. I fully expect him to be voted in.

I think that's a tiny bit illegal, seeing as how it can be considered campaigning at a polling place.

If only that had come out back when it happened and not now, we'd never be threatened with a Trump presidency.  Of course the idea of a Ted Cruz presidency isn't much better.

Unlikely.
