According to one guy, it's Jon Stewart's fault that the Orange Fucktard won.

(November 12, 2016 at 11:11 am)A Theist Wrote: Trump was able to flip rust belt states that hadn't voted Republican since the 1980s. I was just as shocked as everybody else when I saw, first, Wisconsin going to Trump after Florida, North Carolina, and Ohio. Then Pennsylvania, and now, looks like Michigan may just, by the narrowist margin , go for Trump too.
I think the margins are an important part of the story. He won by pretty big margins in Ohio and Wisconsin and he won Florida by something like 150,000 votes. And turnout in some of those battleground states was higher than 2012, sometimes by large amounts. The idea that a low turnout hurts the GOP might still be true in a general sense, but the additional voters who showed up in those states were voting for Trump.
If Michigan goes to Trump, then it was indeed those northern midwest states that did it. Even without Florida, if she carries OH, WI, MI and PA she wins. Not coincidentally those are states where she was seen as indifferent to job losses and the risk of additional losses going forward, whereas Trump is offering the possibility of reversing the job losses and the overall revenue by turning the spigot on for more fossil fuel production.

And here I was just reading an article in the Washington Post that is trying to pin down the reasons Clinton lost, and one of them was this:
Quote:One error was to stick with a long-standing, one-dimensional campaign strategy: attacking Donald Trump. That strategy had been devised despite overwhelming evidence, not only in Trump’s rise but also in Clinton’s struggles during the Democratic primary against Bernie Sanders, that the electorate was looking for political and economic change.
This is so bizarre because we know that political and personal attacks are effective in Presidential campaigns. For a recent example, just look to, say... 2016.

Yeah, to be honest, every time I saw one of her adds attacking Trump, I was like, why are you giving him free publicity??? Talk about taxing the wealthy, and bringing back jobs, and helping children! duh.

The trumpsters interpret that as follows;
1. Taxing me (they forget that they're dirt poor white trash)
2. Giving jobs to Someone Else*
3. Related to (2) above, Someone Else's Children*
-This has been a PSA from Murica.
*blacks, latinos, and other hated minorities
On the subject of (1)...I don't know how they forget that, or how they foget who they are.....I'll let Brother Coe explain.

I want to point out here, people, that Brother Coe explains our election in a single lyric...people forgot about poor white trash.

Nice to see someone with some sense after what a complete sh*t show these past couple of days have been. I'm not a Trump voter, but all these accusations, insults, etc coming from the Hillary side is really getting old. It's making me just as glad that I didn't vote for her.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
