Trump

[Hamlet]

has there ever been a US election before where people are basically picking which one is less bad? Mind you, Trump is still the worst but still!

Nixon v Kennedy 1960?

Although neither of them had much that actually besmirched them at the time of that election I guess. It all came out rather later.

America really needs to re write how they do this.
They should man up and whilst they still have some credibility, cancel the whole thing and start over.
How on earth have they got to the stage where they end up with these two people who are about to become Commander in Chief of the world's most powerful country/army?
Americans in Europe should be squirming with embarrassment.

Had lunch today with friends who are genuinely concerned trump is going to win the election. Their theory is that the populace generally under-estimates the right wing vote, as per the election 2015, eu referendum etc. I disagree with them, but thought it interesting that 2 generally reasonable people feel that way.

This election has forced my hand, I'll be voting for the first time in 14 years.

Clinton *should* be a lock in my district, but I'll still be casting a vote for her just to be safe. My small part.

Clintons lead has gone from 7 points to 1.5 points in the polls. Its going top be tight.

It really won't. The popular vote might look close but from an electoral perspective Trump still needs to pull off a couple of nearly impossible upsets to have a real shot at winning.

I think there are twists in this plot yet. Nothing will ever be simple with Clinton or Trump.

That much I certainly can't argue with.

Found out my parents voted Trump. I've never felt so sick.

FBI completed their very quick secondary investigation into the email server and found nothing criminal again. Trump has taken the decision with the levels of grace you'd expect.

My brother in law openly admitted to "being a bit racist, so what" around the referendum. Urgh.

Even at this juncture its hard to see Hillary being a two term president. The Dems got lucky this time - I suspect the GOP will put up a much stronger candidate in 2020, and even as an incumbent she'll struggle.

(Obvious caveat applies...)

To Alan; I felt like that when I found out my parents and sister voted for Brexit. Didn't fucking consider me or my kids did they.

Depends if the GOP can save itself. It's been such a festering pile of Rush Limbaugh coloured shite for so long now it looks like it's eating itself.

" You can't read 15,000 emails in 8 days... You just can't!"
And he's right!
Mind you they wouldn't have some plum sitting at a desk reading the damned things, they'll have put a whole raft of words into a filter and scanned the lot.
I'd say it took them a couple of hours..
Trump, you're a manipulating twat!

Saw a bloke on the news this morning saying, "Trump all the way!, I like that he's gonna make America great again!"

Give me strength.

Sadly, some people will believe any slogan you throw at them. After all, we've shown that corrupt EU that we can TAKE BACK CONTROL! I'm sure that will work out well for us once we can start using that £350m to fund our NHS...

Went to watch an American band last night (some of you may have heard of them) called Alien Ant Farm. They were supported by another American band called Hed PE - and the first thing the lead singer said after walking on the stage was "FUCK DONALD TRUMP!".
