The Bigly 2016 US Presidential Election Thread, Part XV

[deep]

Of course Trump is not going to build a 3000 mile 200 foot tall wall on the border
What reasonable Americans want is a secured border where people cannot self select who comes to America without any documentation and the government knowing who they are.

The status quo is a disaster and people are dying. Obama and Hillary's open borders policy is a disaster, immigrants are being exploited it's unfair to them and working Americans that are having wages driven down by undocumented workers. The open porous border allows things like this to happen

And it allows heroin and other illicit drugs to flood in and kill people .


I believe it's possible that if Trump got elected we would have a secured border with managed immigration for agricultural workers, etc, with documentation so they cannot be exploited. Without the cheap labor things would cost more but I would gladly pay it and hopefully wages would go up also . Hillary's plan for open borders and free immigration is a disaster for Americans and will only drive our standard of living down further.

Three more days of this madness and it'll be finally over!
One of the worst presidential elections I have ever witnessed.

Wow. So a Republican protestor was attacked at the rally, then basically framed for possessing a gun, had no charges filed against him, and the Trump camp hasn't done a thing to suggest that anything other than an assassination attempt occurred tonight?

I mean...I guess I'm not surprised.

Meanwhile, one of my friends on Facebook is complaining because in 1998 Hillary Clinton said she was a Yankees fan even though she's actually a Cubs fan, and recently switched back to supporting the latter team. I mean, priorities, right?

And god forbid you're a fan of a team from the opposing league.

Dan Scavino Jr., Trump's social media director, and Donald Trump Jr., the nominee's oldest son, retweeted Jack Posobiec, a supporter who wrote: "Hillary (Clinton) ran away from rain today. Trump is back on stage minutes after assassination attempt."
But the Secret Service statement made clear no weapon had been found. Neither has deleted the retweet.

Sensationalism is real.

Trump almost became the first presidential candidate to be assisinated by paper cut.

This.

Seconding that. If Trump loses on Tuesday, I just want him to go away, preferably somewhere where those of us who don't like him don't have to hear him spout his BS ever again. I REALLY don't want him to follow through on his, "I'll keep you in suspense" threat.

Just wanting to add my condolences on your loss. I'm so sorry .

Hillary's got this because the ladies have got this. I imagine Latino voters feel similarly.

Oregoropa, deep, all these other middle aged or older men have no clue how irritating it is to live in Trump's world if you are a woman. All the indignities over the years. He's going to take one for the team, fellas.

Agreed. It'll take a while for some people to wind down from it, though.

Typical politician bandwagonner, just like her predecessor:

He can lie because his minions won't bother questioning it. They're a cancer.

And damn, I'm going to miss this president.

I'm more concerned with how his supporters will behave, despite how he reacts. Even if he amazingly handles the loss well (which I do doubt), I wouldn't be surprised if Trump supporters take their own initiative and get violent. They've been riled up, and Hilary's win could be the spark.

From writer and commentator, Robert Reich's FB post:

Yesterday I blamed Trump’s poisoning of America on two enablers: The Republican Party that’s refused to stand up to Trump, and a media that gave him all the time and attention he’s sought.
But I left out a third: America’s business, political, and media elite – most residing comfortably in Washington and New York -- who have been so out of touch with the pain of working-class America that they had no idea how much Trump’s message would resonate.
This is true of the Democratic Party as well. It had once been the party of the working class. But over the last 3 decades it’s been taken over by Washington-based fundraisers, bundlers, and pollsters who don’t have a clue, and, frankly, haven’t particularly cared. For years they’ve focused instead on raising big money from the executive class, and getting votes from the “swing” suburbs – upper middle-class independents who could swing Republican or Democrat. They abandoned organized labor, abandoned the working class, abandoned their roots.
What do you think?

I agree.

Looking forward to the wall-to-wall coverage tomorrow about how the fucking emails were really nothing.

As Kellyanne Conway would say: "we don't care, the damage has been done".

Not to mention that this guarantees yet another media cycle, the last one before Election Day, focusing on Clinton and the emails.

But Trump said they found the mother load, that it was worse than Watergate.

Now we known Comey was playing us all along, he and the FBI are in on rigging the system against white people. I mean Trump supporters.

[gump]

The coverage is ridiculous now. "Democrats are hypocritical because they now praise Comey". Fucking BS. People should be livid with him. This election wasn't even close.

This is such a lose-lose situation. Clinton should not be talking about emails with 48 hours to go.

Comey is just trying to save his own ass at this point. The damage has already been done and he knows it. Timing was impeccable.
