Trump won most of the rust belt. It's clear they couldn't vote for the women whose husband signed NAFTA and who desired to expand the US's free trade agreements.

I think they'd an issue with any president that could collapse anytime...

Mike Pence could go down as one of the most important vice presidents in the history of this nation considering Trump won't know what he's doing.

Based off of how inept he was at running Indiana, Mike Pence helping Trump is the blind leading the blind in terms of knowing what you're doing.

I'm amazed at how people are bragging about this turnout since it means that you are as fucked as the rest of us.

The story of this election is voting rights. Look at the states where the polls had Clinton winning, even by greater than the margin of victory, some states that traditionally vote Democrat, that they didn't get.

Wisconsin- Gov. Scott Walker and a state legislature that curtailed voting rights, and you had Congressman Glenn Grothman admit publicly that it was not to curtail voter fraud, but to help Republicans win. And that wasn't just the race for president. All the polls had Russ Feingold comfortably defeating Ron Johnson, who won re-election despite being the 2nd most vulnerable GOP Senator by about 5 points.
Michigan- Gov. Rick Snyder and a mostly GOP legislature curtail voting rights to make it too close to call.
Florida- Gov. Rick Scott and a GOP legislature trying to purge voter rolls, close early voting after a hurricane, whatever it took to stop people from voting.
North Carolina- Gov. Pat McCrory and a bought GOP legislature guarantee a win for Trump where he was equal or trailing in polls... telling that McCrory and Sen. Burr were both trailing in polls going into election day that won.
Ohio- Gov. John Kasich and a GOP controlled legislature with a Republican Sec. of State, Jon Husted, who purges voter rolls non-stop, and where Republicans were allowed to practice intimidation at the polls.

There's the story of 2016. The GOP made this monster.

Chrysalis_Changling makes me wonder what he's thinking:

Only the military has to do that.

Barbara Bush was not on the ballot, though.

It may just have been deceived low information voters who made it work for Trump.

Well ****.

Pepe revels in the attention of the people, the longer he stays on spotlight the most powerful he becomes

Don't trust your lying eyes, if President Trump said it it must be true.
