no, i guess that war with Russia is better with a known rapist back in the white house. besides, I hate hillarycare aka obamacare and this shit keynseian policy.
While this sounds very nice, the chicks cannot be counted until they hatch. I'll definitely be paying attention to the climax of this presidential race.
Pfft, they got Washington and Oregon voting red? My ass. Everything in those two states are split up so precisely that even if they voted overwhelmingly republican, they'd still throw blue tinted electoral votes at her. There's no way.
The only time they've gone Republican (nationally) in 100 years has been for Nixon. But if you look at the 1972 election, it's extremely similar: the globalist-engineered civil unrest pissed people off and drove them towards the rule-of-law Republican candidate, which they used to keep us in Vietnam and then have Nixon take the fall for it.
Yah know. Had Jim Webb stayed in the primary i was heavily looking at him as well.
But shit man. I knew THEN my party was rigging a primary against me. And ive always been a 2nd ammendment supporter. It wasnt a hard jump. Especially since obama controlled feds still raid pot dispensaries. And he passed a healthcare plan written by BigInsuramce.
Everything good to come out of the obama adminstration other than him raising federal employees minimum wage. Was done by fucking ballot initiatives. He didnt build that=). And in the case of pot he actively still works against it.
Then throw in the GOP fucking hates trump. They only let him in as a joke or to get his money...then he got to big for em and they are as terrified of him as the democrats! That is what really made me take a closer look. Fuck it..im not a YUGE fan. The guys far from perfect. But hes certainly got my vote this election.
Are you men? Because you sound like you're me. The only reason I've retained my Democratic affiliation is because I want to run for office one day, and the area I'm in is so blue it's almost black.
Exactly. The Internet is somewhat of an echo chamber. The actual electorate is not only made up of the type of people who care enough to broadcast their love of a candidate all over the Internet.
A lot of people will vote on Facebook and bitch to their friends about who they will be voting against. Most of those people however will also not actually get their asses out and vote.
Well, yeah, both McCain and Romney were better than him intellectually as well.
Obama is a good orator and was able to rally the black and the "historic" vote. Which I found ironic considering how different his upbringing and experience as a "black American" was than virtually all black Americans....shit, I bet a lot of people who voted for him had no idea he was half white.
This, and the size of Trump's rallies, brings up the age-old battle of whether the POTUS should be elected based on the electoral college process or a popular vote.
I'm not here to argue either, only point out that the article supports the popularity of Trump, but that's not how the system works.
Facebook loves Hillary. Since degrading Trump didn't work, now they try a different tactic. Make supporters believe their votes aren't needed. Every one of you is needed to help Trump. Without you, he doesn't have a chance. Get out and vote!
I was a Ron Paul supporter in 2008 and 2012. While the media didn't give Ron a fair shake, you're giving his campaigns too much of a free pass. Ron was brilliant, but he surrounded himself with losers.
One of the reasons why Trump actually succeeded in defeating the Republican establishment in 2016 is because of the people he hired to help run his campaign. Kellyanne Conway, Katrina Pierson, Stephen Miller, Jason Miller - smart people with experience in the Beltway. He's also been smart enough to cut bait with staffers when they start to hurt the campaign (i.e. Corey Lewandowski, Paul Manafort).
In contrast, Ron saddled his campaign with idiots like Jesse Benton, who were like amateur hour compared to other candidates' staffs. Benton in particular seemingly did everything in his power to undermine the campaign. He used to make the rounds on cable news and feed into the narrative that Paul supporters are nutjobs. He'd tell people to stop fighting to win delegates at caucuses and give up. I'd say Trump would have fired Benton long before the primaries, but he would have never hired Benton to begin with.
If this election has taught me anything, it's how much of an absolute stud Ron Paul was/is. He took on the entire political and media establishment and refused to endorse Romney in the end. I knew the odds where stacked against him, but I didn't actually believe the entire establishment was conspiring against him. He must have balls of steel.
Bush lost Pennsylvania in 2000 and 2004. Who cares about Pennsylvania. He has all the Reagan Democrats and Evangelicals and nobody is motivated to stand in line for hours to vote for a criminal (which is why they're so loud and obnoxious about getting other people to vote). It was over before it started.
I will politely disagree. New York is a blue state, California is a blue state. Neither of them will vote Trump but both of them have a huge amount of electoral votes. Florida, Pennsylvania, and Texas are next in line. Texas is a red state, so that's ok. Florida will vote Trump, so that's ok. If he carries Pennsylvania, he's ok, if not, he has a problem.
He can have "Reagan Democrats and Evangelicals," but what he needs is electoral votes, and without winning states with large number of those votes available, the election is lost. Don't underestimate Democrats and Clinton supporters
Remember that most of the people who live in the cities [where the votes turn the whole state] aren't living on facebook, because they have a lot more to do IRL for entertainment, so the number of posts being made [one way or the other] isn't indicative of the number of people supporting each candidate.
Don't get me wrong, I wish it were true, but I've seen this kind of bullshit so many times.
You know why Trump's losing? Because he can't figure out why people are voting for Hillary.
You know why Voat thinks everything's rigged? Because they can't accept that people like Hillary.
If you guys could have figured that shit out, Trump would have had a shot. But you're too dumb to actually want to win. You just want to cry about losing all the time. I feel sorry for modern America. Conservatives are masochists + SJWs.
Kennedy was a liberal too, so it's not like I'm saying that she stepped in over a conveniently dead Republican, nor is this a matter of just hating Democrats.
Hillary Clinton is a criminal and the only place she belongs is prison.
nope. I think the current system is corrupt to the core, and cannot be reformed from within. I'm betting heavily on the collapse of the dollar over the next few years, fingers crossed Shillery makes that dream come true.
Honestly, if november 8th has really shit weather in the north east, then clinton supporters who did not vote early would probably say "people hate trump a lot, my vote won't matter that much, it is too damn cold and rainy/snow to go out and vote"
Meanwhile the trump people will rage vote trump to send a fuck you to the establishment. We have been looking forward for this for a while now.
Yesterday’s significant example was in Butler County Ohio where requests for republican ballots have increased by a whopping 40% over 2012. Today, another VERY significant indication surfaces -albeit quietly- Minnesota’s deep blue CD-8.
MINNESOTA – The eighth Congressional District of Minnesota is a working class area in Eastern Minnesota. It has voted for a Democrat in the last four Presidential elections. It has a Democrat Congressman and will likely be the most expensive Congressional race this year.
Usually, a Democrat Presidential candidate would win. But a recent poll held a shock:
Trump is beating Hillary by 12 points: “Our poll shows Republican Donald Trump with a 12-point lead over Clinton, 47 percent to 35 percent“
Trump is winning with women: “leading Clinton 41 percent to 39 percent.”
Dems are crossing over: “the number of Democrats dropped from 34 percent in 2014 to 27 percent in 2016. The number of independents jumped from 31 percent two years ago to 41 percent this year.“...
Trump supporters are very active online. Meanwhile, Clinton has to pay people to be active for her and they are still well outnumbered.
However, a lot of people are still going to vote for Clinton. They just won't be happy about it. Most of those people can only the Donald that goes around yelling about Lying Ted and birth certificates and arresting Hillary and cannot fathom him being able to act in a civil and presidential manner.
There are a lot of people who have supported Clinton even when Sanders was running. The gibsmedats demanders and SJWs are among them, and a lot of people who buy into myths like the gender wage gap. If degenerate women were not allowed to vote, almost the whole country would be red.
Oh yea, but the map only shows in each state, which side has more activity in Facebook. I'm arguing that that Trump voters are just more active than Hillary voters, not that there are necessarily more trump voters in each of those states.
