Bad news for political establishment/careerist types everywhere. (Except in Ireland most likely)
Brexit called it, Trump confirmed it.
Should be a fun ride the next few years, whatever else.
What time does the draining of the swamp start?
Call it for PA you pricks so we can get to her concession speech. Hopefully @Sidney has a can left so he can toast her exit.

He just doesnât get it fella.
I was one of the few posters to give Trump a possible path to victory at the top of the night, Tim, in fact Iâm not sure anybody else did.
In terms of political analysis, I wouldnât be taking too many tips from you given that you disappeared from this thread for the last few months because you agreed with my analysis.
The two main reasons Trump is going to win are clear - the manufactured e-mail âscandalâ in the last 10 days of the campaign which fed perfectly into the weird post-fact world inhabited by so many Americans, and the central appeal to latent racism and white nationalism in Trumpâs campaign.
I donât think thatâs true
Fine Gael and Fianna FĂĄil, iirc, posted their lowest combined vote share ever. Under 50% when itâs been mostly over 70% and upwards of 80%. Independents won the day and the lower classes voted in their droves for the likes of PBP and Sinn FĂŠin (the terrorists were ably abetted by people like Sidney and Rocko supporting them online). Irelandâs PR system doesnât allow for these kind of results. Iâd watch the next Presidential election thoughâŚnot that it really matters in governing terms
Some careerists out on their ass but not all

No I was simply back in the courts and actually working. 
You have been railing against the chance of Trump winning from the get go. A âpath to victoryâ, get off the stage. You donât have a fucking breeze. You ignore polls when it suits (Corbyn) and pimp up biased ones when it suits in the US election. You havenât a notion on the average American but google furiously to find articles to support your viewpoints (the amount of Slate articles youâve posted for months have raised a chuckle from myself and @anon7035031 continually). You need to retire, youâre a busted flush on this board.

I did say he had a path to victory, Tim. I said anything could happen. Go back over the thread. I know Trump supporters donât take facts seriously so I donât expect you to take this one seriously, but hey, Iâm well aware of the calibre of political mind and purveyor of cognitive awareness that Iâm arguing with, so feel free to take it or leave it.
You had plenty of time for the last year up to around August when you mysteriously disappeared, because you didnât give Trump a prayer yourself.
Again, your definition of the âaverage Americanâ is a conspicuously white, male one.
Megyn harassing the nerds in the back room to make some calls on the remaining states. Hilarious arm twisting.

Incorrect. I said this 4 weeks ago.
I was wrong. I believe he had finally stumped himself, I admit it. But I believed he had a great chance before that. My âdisappearanceâ is simply down to being back to the courts and not being able to post like Sidney 24/7.
Keeping it 1600 had a couple of live shows on already. Some very disappointed looking faces. Bill even joined to anchor it, now that heâs free from other anchoring duties.
Probably just Hillary asking for time to pen a concession speech thatâs holding it up at this stage.
So there you go, Timmy.
You thought Trump hadnât a prayer, so I donât know why youâre claiming powers of clairvoyancy and laughable claims of superior knowledge when you so clearly got it wrong yourself.
Any objective reading of the campaign would acknowledge the manufactured e-mail âscandalâ 10 days before the election was the major factor in tipping the balance (Clinton will likely still win the popular vote), perhaps you werenât following the campaign due to your âworkâ.
County Londonderry, PA votes for Trump.
Thereâs a place that has a fine wall.

Donât be silly, the email scandal broke in early 2015. Hillary destroyed her reputation by trying to lie and bluff her her way through it instead of just coming clean. It wasnât that big a deal, her trying to lie her way out of it and changing her story several times made it a big deal.

No I was stateside, so of course.
Never claimed to be clairvoyant, not once. Said Trump had a chance from the get go. Posting a path to victory you lifted off Slate or Politico or whatever is utterly irrelevant. Anyone who followed that thread for 6 months saw what chance you thought he had. You laughed at the people who talked about real Americas, you donât have a notion, your entire world is from behind a screen drinking Tubourg and googling articles. Grow up Sid.
Now youâre blaming the FBI again, the only blame goes her way.
