Because racism exists. I figured the NT left would have hammered this point home a long time ago.

I thought it was a fabrication by da left to get minorities to vote for them?

It just seems that after trumps vitriolic comments and ideology about muslims, hispanics, women occured during his campaign

His riders seem to display their own ignorance and it looks to increase more than 100% over the next 4 yrs.

This aint fear mongering. This is facts and they are bringing all their suppressed evil feelings as revenge they held onto for 8 yrs

 

[rico x hood]

I have never denied racism. But it is certainly a fear mongering tactic by the left to keep minority votes. One that has worked for decades. Which shocks me because the same racist country elected Barack...twice.

And one more thing, Trump being the President for racists is the same as Obama being the President of black people.

 

[ninjahood]

The biggest lie being told is Trump has no political experience.
Nizzle been paying off politicians for the past 30yrs.
That gives him three decades of political experience right there.

thats like saying Mark Cuban has experience shooting 3's cuz he pays Dirk

and i seen Bill Maher last night....love seeing bougie liberals squrim

da funny thing is he knew exactly why democrats lost...da political correctness made ya villains... EXACTLY what i been telling ya

Racism is going to increase 50% in 4 years?? Please tell me where you got this? And if it isn't a new source or person that correctly predicted Shillary's hilarious and stunning defeat then I don't want to hear it.

Yea i cant speak for blacks and people of color

Im just calling it as it is since i notice whites are usually behind this

Were you attacking white folks after he was elected the 1st or 2nd time?

Did you see or hear about any Black people attacking anyone because Obama won?

correct on both points.

Bill Maher & britt Hume said "ya political correct liberals made white people feel like minorities, so they voted like minority bloc.

Facts. The left was consistently focusing on the wrong thing. And it looks like they still are. Bouta put a black Muslim as the head of the DNC. Still looking at the tree...

I haven't seen Trump address the instances of white-on-non-white harassment. I haven't seen him address the KKK marching to celebrate his victory.
But I have seen Obama address riots...

 

[AEA18]

And you voted for him so you can get an "OG muscle car"

Imo, damn i gotta be specific. I dont have statistics on future racism but thats what i feel

 

[shatterkneesinc]

You can't quantify racism

 

[gry60]

One more thing: voter suppression tactics from the right that explicitly targeting voting patterns of Black people suggest that racism is more than fear mongering. Is there an equivalent to the Washington Heights bubble in VA? You seem to live in it.

He doesn't care about what happens to his own people. Stated it many times.

He cares about his taxes being lowered. If the gop suppresses your vote then do better would be his advice

 

[pdino]

I don't know why everyone is so up in arms about Trump being President. What's the worst than can happen? This dude isn't someone I would probably ever call a close friend but...man it's time for something, if it turns out bad so be it, was it good already?

I feel some sort of anticipation with this guy being President.
I've never felt anything before, during or after an election so there's that.

Worst that can happen.. Trump picks the next supreme court justices, the court justices decide laws of the land until they die. He'll most likely appoint republicans who are "pro-life" and leaning right. He can get rid of Obamas executive orders as well. Obama used most of his term working on affordable care act and insured millions of Americans with medical insurance, can get rid of that instantly. Tax policy that is heavily weighted in favor of the rich. Recession can happen. Supreme court justices that he picks that will affect you and your children and your childrens' children. Giuliani is one of the favorites for Trumps cabinet, who enacted the "stop and frisk" in NY and is well-documented for targeting African Americans.

 

[Deleted member 42060]

Only thing we rely on is racist situation or encounters
But not much of a measure. Alot can be hearsay

Ironically his taxes won't get lowered

Well I live in NoVa, Alexandria City to be more specific and it's ridiculously diverse out here as well as liberal. But I will say I live in an economic bubble, because of the federal government this area will always flourish economically which makes it difficult to understand the hardships of people in other parts of the country. But because I keep my finger on the pulse it's easy to know what keeps people up at night, and I promise you it isn't voter suppression, the illegal immigrant wall, or transgender bathrooms, it's the economy,stupid.

(That last part was James Carville, I'm not calling you stupid)

 

[Deleted member 42060]

Possibly makes sense

 

[everysingletime]

I've been having back and forth arguments with my best friend who voted Trump for days now.

He kept coming back to Obamacare. He kept coming back to that guys like us shouldn't be carrying the burden for people's Healthcare.

I told him last night, that making the kind of money I make, in a normal election where the Republican candidate isn't spreading racist, xenophobic and sexist rhetoric, dividing and pointing us at each other, I would probably consider moving to the right on health care. Maybe.

But this election is the wrong time to take a stand on Healthcare. You simply can't overlook the rhetoric Trump has spread on the way to the top. It just makes america more dangerous for minorities.

He hasn't responded back to me since Idk. He's not racist. But I feel like he just didn't understand that Trump pointing at illegals Mexicans and Muslims makes it a toxic environment for other minorities too. He was selfish with the every man for himself mentality.

WRONG!

For a business owner, transgender bathroom laws may mean the possibilty of spending extra money on such accomodations in order to not lose clientele and considering the effects on the profits.

For a minority community, losing the ability to vote may mean losing the ability to decide who can sell what in their neighborhood and how much in taxes can be collected by the local government.

For an American worker, illegal immigration may affect his ability to earn the wages they should.

The bottom line is, those things matter socially AND economically.

Those are all niche issues, appeal to those voters if you want but we just saw that cobbling together that rinky dink coalition won't do ****.

Michael Tracey: The epic nature of Hillary’s collapse

The Electoral College For Clinton Movement Is Flawed
Inform


00:0000:35
Most devastating electoral defeats in United States history at least had some mitigating circumstances. In 1984, Walter Mondale got blown out by Ronald Reagan, a popular incumbent President presiding over an improving economy. Barry Goldwater lost the 1964 election by a large margin, but his opponent was another incumbent President with extensive resources to marshal.

Hillary Clinton’s stunning collapse is different. It’s hard to think of a historical analog that could come close to resembling the magnitude and depth of the failure. She had a popular incumbent President campaigning for her furiously; the popular First Lady did likewise. The economy is far healthier than it was eight or even four years ago.

The elite media almost universally loathed her rival — a conformity of opinion that we’ve never seen before in modern American politics. Wall Street was 99% behind her. The polling industry put out a constant deluge of bogus data pronouncing Donald Trump’s certain defeat.


With all these massive advantages, Hillary still somehow managed to lose to the guy from “The Apprentice,” a political novice who said and did things we were constantly told were outrageous and dangerous, and some of which actually were irresponsible.

Trump makes nice with the Clintons in ‘60 Minutes’ interview
It’s staggering, and could well be the most remarkable electoral implosion of all time.

On Election Day, Hillary’s much-touted “ground game” was M.I.A., despite months of media bloviating about her organization being second-to-none. Remember when Trump was supposedly doomed because he didn’t hire enough professional operatives to run get-out-the-vote efforts? It turned out to be just another phony pundit talking point.

Hillary Clinton had every advantage, but still came up short on Election Day.

It was likely Trump who ended up having a superior ground game: He ran up stunning numbers in places like Southeastern Ohio and Northeastern Pennsylvania. In Luzerne County, Pa., Trump improved on Romney’s 2012 vote total by a whopping 34%. It should come as no surprise that Trump held multiple huge rollicking rallies in the area, and the tactic — long derided by media know-it-alls — paid off. He won Pennsylvania by 1%.

Clinton partisans were in denial about the true breadth of Hillary’s electoral liabilities. Throughout the Democratic primary process earlier this year, they ignored that the FBI’s criminal investigation into her official conduct as secretary of state would be politically salient. They chastised anyone who brought up the specter of Clinton Foundation scandals, which also erupted down the home stretch and damaged her standing with voters.

'Heartbroken’ mother runs into Hillary Clinton while hiking
By the end of the campaign, Hillary and Trump were equally despised. It’s in keeping with a trend that bedeviled her from the beginning: The more she is in the public eye, the more the American people tend to disdain her.

Maybe that’s why, instead of going out on the campaign trail over the summer, she opted to hobnob at wealthy donor confabs on Martha’s Vineyard and in the Hamptons.


In their arrogance, Clinton operatives projected that a “demographic firewall” would propel her to victory no matter what. But this was yet another boneheaded assumption. Obliterating conventional wisdom, Trump outperformed Mitt Romney among black and Hispanic voters — at least if you believe exit polls. (If you had suggested that might be the case several months ago, you’d have been denounced as a total lunatic.)


Meanwhile, Hillary’s support among black voters, who were long heralded by the media as her most reliable base, plummeted — paving the way for Trump to secure unbelievable upsets in Wisconsin and Michigan.

Poll shows more women backed Obama than Hillary Clinton
The Clinton loyalist crowd will try to blame anyone else for the failure: Bernie Sanders, James Comey, the media, Vladimir Putin, and on and on. But the crux of the failure lies with Hillary herself.

Maybe that’s why Hillary’s top aide, Cheryl Mills, did not want her to run at all. Mills apparently knew that the unsanctioned private email server issue was more damning than initially met the eye, and could bring her down.

Notwithstanding this, due to a combination of hubris, ego and gall, Hillary ran anyway. She and her loyalists, convinced with a faith-based devotion that she was the only person for the job, stifled a genuine populist insurgent in Sanders, and then ran a tin-eared general election campaign whose principal message was little more than “Trump is bad.”

They blew it, big league
