2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumBay Area Right wing Radio is going nuts this morning.
Listening to KSFO in SF, and they are saying, Hillary cheated, by knowing the answers ahead of time and Lester Holtz was in Hillary's court. They are saying all the Polls say, Trump won, and that Hillary was scary, with that "crazy smile".. the same smile she will have when she takes away everyone's guns, and puts White people in FEMA CAMPS.
Totally wtf? What freaking planet are these people living on?

(41,831 posts)Does this mean Donald is going to pass on the next one, and break his contract with the networks, or is he going to try twice as hard next time and try to study up on what he is supposed to know?
I Love how the Right Wingers S P I N the narrative...they will throw shit against the wall and see what sticks.

(41,831 posts)I figured I would be hearing lots of grumbling, but instead, they are coming up with all kinds of excuses as to why Trump didn't win. There was stuff like he was disadvantaged by the "lame stream media" because Hillary was fed the answers and the questions ahead of time. They can't seem to find any other explanation as why Trump was beaten so badly.

(54,770 posts)First time I have run across this website -- Concourse/Deadspin -- I think it is OK (part of Gawker/Univision). But the comments that they say supposedly came from the racist Stormfront are revealing -- "sorry, but he got crushed;" "The Hag won, Trump has no chance, give up folks."

So they can't hurt themselves or others. They are mentally ill.

And it's not themselves but hurting others that I worry about.

bettyellen
(47,209 posts)It was a meme used by white supremacists, they used M&Ms for years until Trayvon Martin happened- then they updated it to Skittles to be more offensive

(4,461 posts)... fencing off a square state like, maybe, Kansas, and putting all of the criminals and societal rejects in there. Then filming it for a TV show. That would be perfect for the Deplorables! And the ratings would be YUUUUUGGGGGE - pay off the deficit in 3 weeks!
George was ahead of his time. Would love to hear his observations on tRump. Hell, he might even vote in this election if he were still kickin'.

(14,853 posts)It can appeal to people with a large amygdala and insufficient gray matter -- i.e., conservatives.
https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-human-beast/201104/conservatives-big-fear-brain-study-finds
Peering inside the brain with MRI scans, researchers at University College London found that self-described conservative students had a larger amygdala than liberals. The amygdala is an almond-shaped structure deep in the brain that is active during states of fear and anxiety. Liberals had more gray matter at least in the anterior cingulate cortex, a region of the brain that helps people cope with complexity.
eShirl
(18,490 posts)Now if she'd known the questions ahead of time, that would have been cheating.
yuiyoshida
(41,831 posts)That she knew what questions were going to be asked, and boned up on the answers.
LynneSin
(95,337 posts)We know they are going to ask about her emails.
We know they are going to ask something related to the shootings in Charlotte and Tulsa.
We know they are going to ask questions about ISIS and national security
etc etc etc
What was Trump studying - English lit and Spanish Vocabulary?
yuiyoshida
(41,831 posts)He was expecting that Huge Brain to know the answers already, *or Lie about them.

(11,631 posts)What did you expect?
yuiyoshida
(41,831 posts)and going to gloat at them grumbling. They weren't quite grumbling, they were coming up with crap out of left field and hoping they could make it stick.
jcgoldie
(11,631 posts)Sort of like Hillary pointed out about Trump.
LynneSin
(95,337 posts)I STUDIED!!!!
You know the types of question they are going to ask. If my Biology test was on Anatomy then I would study anatomy before the test so I would KNOW THE ANSWERS WHEN I TOOK THE TEST>

This is the powerful RW radio station 1140 WRVA (Beck Rush Hannity) morning drive host - Jimmy Barrett. Rightwingers listen to his show likes its gospel.
http://1140wrva.iheart.com/
He had on the statewide campaign manager for the Trump campaign.
The manager went into a spiel about "temperament" and "won the first 20 minutes" (their big talking point) etc.
Host: "Well all morning I've trying to find some positive aspect on this but haven't been able to and not near how positive you are making it sound"
The campaign manager went on and on mentioning Trump's "temperament" 3 or 4 times.
The interview ends. There's a pause and the Host says "Anyone else thirsty for some Kool-Aid?"
Hilarious.

yuiyoshida
(41,831 posts)to Barrack Obama. They will make it very difficult for anything to pass.. and they will stall, stall and stall until they are blue in the face.
deathrind
(1,786 posts)The congress. It's a given that should republicans remain in control of both chambers that they will continue to obstruct as they have even more if that is possible.
I am talking about the right/ trump supporters. We have already seen what they do at trump rally's. I am all for HRC to win. She is going to be a great President but I don't think democrats could have picked a more divisive and polarizing figure to nominate. Dislike of the Clintons has been on going for decades. I was worried what might happen when President Obama won. Thankfully nothing did. But not nearly as worried as I am for HRC. The dislike for PBO since he was relatively unknown was/is not near the level or had the time to build on a personal level, certainly (as we have seen) it was there on a racial level. The right has a visceral hatred for HRC...for anything Clinton which has been brewing for decades. Rush got his name off bashing the Clintons. Bill for his decisions, Hillary for her healthcare plan...he even went after Chelsea FFS... it was unreal...
Once it is official that HRC is going to be President and it sinks in that for at least the next four years (hopefully eight) they are going to be hearing and seeing HRC making decision that affect them / representing them around the world I think the right is going to blow a gasket and go completely off the rails.
yuiyoshida
(41,831 posts)It was the beginning of the end for the Republican party, which is in its death throes. They know it too, which is why they are in panic mode now. Everyone knows Trump will not win, and that will cause lots of problems for future GOP Candidates who now have to be just as Right winged As Donald or worse. They want a fascist dictator not a President. That is not going to help the Republican party at all.

guillaumeb
(42,641 posts)Trump repeated the same lies he tells at all of his rallies, and he was fact checked by Clinton and Holt. If Trump does not like being contradicted, he can simply stop lying.
At least he hinted at the truth when he all but confirmed that he pays no taxes.
yuiyoshida
(41,831 posts)Wouldn't that be funny!

(8,998 posts)if they keep this up. How sad that would be.

yuiyoshida
(41,831 posts)Was Rigged. Do you think he will attend the next one?
Side note: **The only thing that was rigged, were all the on line polls where Freepers went and
voted for Trump several times, when they asked, "Who won the debate?"
DFW
(54,338 posts)I don't think his ego would let him set himself up to be called a coward, and he knows that 99% of his supporters will think he was brilliant even if he spent the next debate having an epileptic fit on camera.
