I have to say it. Hillary would have made a 1000 times better President.

[UCmeNdc]

Bernie Sanders also is 1000 times better as a President as Donald Trump.

Hell , tha average DUer is most likely 10 times better than Donald Trump.

Aren't you tired of mediocracy? How did Trump, McConnell, and Ryan come to power? They all suck!

What the hell is going on with vote counts? How can polling be so off?

Who really controls the electronic voting machines?

It is rotten at the core. People need to get mad and ask for answers. Something does not add up or seem right.

IMHO.

1. I'm getting way too paranoid

Russian hacking to create fake news and social media is way too benign for Putin and his gang. I can't believe they would allow so much to be undecided.

Why wouldn't the Russians have manipulated the primary voting? Remember how Trump really wasn't a front runner then? What if there was hacking then?

And I will never believe that there wasn't actual vote manipulation at the ballot level.

It helps explain how the polls were so wrong.

3. All I can say is there was a time when exit polling was spot on

Then we got electronic voting machines.

[JI7]

5. They did target rubio and maybe jeb and others with fake news in the primary

[Skittles]

9. it would also explain why they knew to deny Obama a Supreme Court pick

they KNEW Hillary would never be president

[barbtries]

18. and also the slim wins in swing states

they did it i think. did just what they had to to swing the election. if you're paranoid believe me you are not alone.

[dchill]

2. 1000? I will agree to a number somewhere between...

100 and infinity...

[bearsfootball516]

4. The polling

Wasn't really off. For the most part, it landed in the margin of error for the popular vote. But there's no doubt that Trump's base appeared more enthusiastic than Clinton's, and usually, the more energized side wins.

He also won key swing states like Wisconsin and Michigan by paper thin margins. In those states, conservatives came out like they hadn't for McCain and Romney.

The whole Comey email thing also hurt, and I think it had an effect on the ballot box. For a lot of undecided voters, they walked to the ballot box still not knowing who they would vote for. When they tried to think of both candidates, the most recent news was Comey "reopening the investigation" and so with that as the final thought in their head, they hit the Trump button.

6. 1000? More like 10,000,000,000,000,000 times!

Fuck Trump!

[dalton99a]

11. +1

[apkhgp]

7. IMHO

Damn right!
The only thing a Republican needs to do get elected is promise to cut taxes. Or promise no new taxes, Remember that one from George H. W. Bush in 1988.

45 alleged that the voting system was rigged. He would have to take a look at any Election Results on November 8 to see if he could accept their outcome. This was not an election for him, but a business decision.

It would be like him buying a piece of land to build a new casino on. "I will have to take a look at the land deal on November 8 and see if I can accept it."

[NightWatcher]

8. Alerting !!!

10 times? You only think DUers would be 10 times better?

Just messing with ya.

[sunonmars]

10. My dog would have been a better President and understood more......

[ProudLib72]

12. Your low energy dog can't out bark mine

He's the very best barker of all time.

It's too bad we can't make tRump wear a shock collar and give everyone on DU a control. Maybe that could be part of his sentencing.

[Honeycombe8]

13. No, things don't add up. McConnell & Ryan, yes. Trump? No. nt

[Amaryllis]

14. THe polls were not off. The results were off.

[DownriverDem]

15. Almost any Dem would be better than trump

I lean left. The repubs offer me nothing but hate & policies that favor the rich.

[DFW]

16. You don't have to say it here. It is common knowledge.

Anyone here knew that already. Anyone who does not (or does, but won't admit it) has already migrated to another site.

[Awsi Dooger]

17. No multiplier is high enough

I work in numbers every day and I would never attempt to assign this one.

It was a choice between a tremendous human being and an absolute lowlife. Could not have been more glaring. All you had to do was watch that Frontline special last fall, if somehow you were unsure before then. Hillary was inspired by Martin Luther King. Trump was inspired by Roy Cohn.

He ran his campaign and so far his presidency exactly as Roy Cohn would have advised, and beyond. Lie about everything. Only the result matters. If you take people down they deserved to be taken down. Not strong enough.

[ksoze]

19. A cadaver would have been better than Trump

[loyalsister]

20. Of course she would have

Electing a president whose primary experience with government has been to exploit it for personal gain was not a smart idea.
