Well I suppose we can hope that Trump really does something wrong before the electoral college votes

Posted by eag (aka eag) Nov 9 '16, 16:07

If im not mistaken EV are not binding. Its a remote chance but given the year it has been. I wouldn't totally rule it out.

Responses:

Guys, I went through the same thing when Dilma was elected two years ago: I thought her government would be a disaster.. - Marlowe Nov 9, 16:17 25
- Very well said. -- nm - Amanda Nov 9, 16:34
- I hope he is much better than anyone thought that didn't like him. I hope he surprises us and we have robust growth and prosperity. - Bacon Nov 9, 16:21 14
  - it's horrifying to me that I hope he used his racism, his misogyny, his hatred to get in but then doesn't govern that way. - ty97 Nov 9, 16:39 11
    - It wouldn't be the first time that someone got elected by lying his/her ass off.. - Marlowe Nov 9, 16:46 3
      - Lies are nothing new in politics, and he told tons of them. I just don't think those were the lies. - ty97 Nov 9, 16:47 2
        
        Imagine the irony of a wall on our Southern Border when we spent decades to remove the one in Germany. - Bacon Nov 9, 16:49 1
        
        at least the useless fucking wall will create jobs! (look at me being an optimist) - ty97 Nov 9, 16:51
    - I actually think he's less of a threat than Pence. I don't think he cares about most stuff enough to do anything about it. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 9, 16:40 6
      - Pence scares me because of the religious element combined with forcing that upon the country. Trump is not religious though he tried a couple times - Bacon Nov 9, 16:44 1
        
        honestly, I don't think the religious people much (cared / believed) he was religious. - ty97 Nov 9, 17:15
      - I'd like to think that, but I have a few concerns with it - ty97 Nov 9, 16:42 3
        
        That also wasn't a defense of Trump, obviously. :) Just that Trump won't press on religiously motivated issues because he doesn't care. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 9, 16:50 1
        
        oh I know it wasn't! - ty97 Nov 9, 17:04
        
        (none of this is in any way a defense of Pence and his hateful record) -- nm - ty97 Nov 9, 16:43
  - There is nothing that ive seen from him that would make me think he would be an effective leader - eag Nov 9, 16:34 1
    - he does have some capable and competent people in his work life - not everyone, but enough that I have some hope that - b. Nov 9, 16:41
- yep. he won the game as it is played...nm - x Nov 9, 16:19 4
  - agreed, it sucks. but a playing field is a playing field....nm - x Nov 9, 16:44 2
    - absolutely agreed, I make no challenge to the outcome. I do want the EC abolished (pipe dream) but that's a future issue. - ty97 Nov 9, 17:10
    - (should be reply to ty97)...nm - x Nov 9, 16:45
  - yes, while I've never liked the EC (going back to learning about in grade school) it's our (flawed) legal system -- nm - ty97 Nov 9, 16:39
- Well said. He has earned his chance to sink or swim now. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 9, 16:18 3
  - If he sinks he will take alot of people down with him - eag Nov 9, 16:28 2
    - What pisses me off more than anything, perhaps, right now is my desire that he not sink, for all our sakes - ty97 Nov 9, 17:12 1
      - Well no one wants to see him sink cause the consequences would be potentially catastrophic - eag Nov 9, 17:32
