Election Thread 2016

Yeah I told you guys that back then. I told everyone. Fox News is currently saying the same thing. How very "I told you so."

Sanders would have won, and won big. The media underestimated how much people dislike HRC.

Also how effective an extension she was for Trumps rage from the primaries.

I think the story will be that despite what people said about the economy being good, Silicon Valley, etc, a lot of people are really hurting and they feel like the system doesn't give a fuck. I have family in Kentucky and Obamacare ain't doing shit for them. So fuck the system.

HRC made absolutely zero effort to appeal to those people. In fact she called them deplorable. Then brought on rich people like Madonna to shill for her.

Duh. Trump won as a populist and sanders was a perfect foil. Clinton is a rich connected wooden unlikeable person who drips with ingenuousness. The class war has been on for a while. Sanders was on it. Simple message, loud, straight to poor white people.

So the question is: What would have happened had the Dems nominated Sanders?

He probably would've won easily. He had a message that resonated with the people that voted for Trump, and he would have picked up typical Dem bases.

Yes he's a "socialist", but I don't think labels like that seem to matter this election.

I feel like we're on the same page dudebro.

Question is, will the media acknowledge this or continue to claim it's cause of muh racism.

From exit polls I read Trump outperformed Romney with blacks and Hispanics...

Is it just me or is there a real chance at 269 a piece?
