So hedge fund managers are picking up his media tab, and he has his own billionaire motives... but thats somehow different than being a career politician that is also backed by big money? Wut?
Come on Seth! You love a good conspiracy, don't just drink the trump kool aid cause he is "edgy"
Trump isn't a cause, he's an effect.
Even if he doesn't win the flavour of populace politics he's enabled will continue. The next candidate will likely be something more politically refined than Trump, but the overall sentiment is there.
I'm not saying he's totally as anti establishment as he portrays himself to be, but that's what his supporters see, and that's all that matters.Originally posted by ercchry

BTW- Good point on being an effect.

Mexico braces for currency collapse. Assuming Trump: Personally I think a 30% drop in the peso is likely but more likely is a 60% drop on the week (slightly less than half as valuable in a week)
No longer is democracy a thing to be celebrated, it is a thing to try and survive.

Cocoa $11,000 per tonne.
So... Anyone want to guess what cities will riot the hardest?
Because it really doesn't matter who wins, 48% of the population either way is going to be pissed.

Gonna be too busy watching the Natgeo special on Mars with nothing but Hillary supporters (Elon Musk, Neil degrasse Tyson, etc) being positive, hopeful and inspiring about science and the future of space exploration. I hope to see the end of Trump and his harkening to the good old days of witch burnings, slavery, geocentrism and am completely prepared to flush that load of shit down the toilet and move forward towards something much more useful for humanity than that giant sack of white turd.Originally posted by ZenOps

You want riots? If trump wins, there will be riots caused by democrat supporters.

Sadly a Trump loss doesn't just flush it down the toilet. This election has been a game changer. I think Trump will lose, but the ground swell of support for him and more importantly what he stood for will not be satiated. There's a number of issues that will dog Hillary for the foreseeable future and if you think she'll be at the helm of anything that will help humanity well.....Originally posted by BigMass

The really scary thought is that at some point a candidate will emerge that shares Trumps position on things, bucks the system as he has, but appears FAR more Presidential. By that time America will have had 4 years min of the same old same old Hillary bullshit and the pendulum swing will be nothing short of frightening.

I agree. It is I that wants to flush that down the toilet but I know it will linger. But there might be a scenario where Hillary wins and the Dems get a majority and are able to implement their ideas and America does well into the 21st century and prepares for AI, automation, education, universal healthcare, universal basic income, technology, war on terror, space exploration, science, social justice, foreign agreements, etc. You think her term would be bullshit, I disagree on policy alone. I think she would be a stronger president than Obama.Originally posted by rx7_turbo2

If Hillary wins; (ok Trump still has a chance, I fully admit that) Is it still possible that next time someone like Trump comes around, or worse, and gets in? Well, I hope not and I don't think so. Why? Because the dems are pushing for education. Trump support relies on uneducated people (polls). The majority of whites support Trump, BUT the majority of college educated whites support Hillary. If the Dems are able to make post secondary more affordable for everyone and get people educated, then I am confident in another 4 or 8 years America will have a much more informed public than they have now (people that understand that climate change isn't a conspiracy theory, evolution isn't the teachings of Satan, and repealing Roe/Wade is insane, etc. It is no wonder the republicans want nothing to do with affordable college.

Imo in the end whoever wins doesn't fully matter unless they have the majority of Senate/House of Representative seats (Congress) in their party's favour. Currently US Congress is majority GOP, you saw that Obama couldn't get anything done his 2nd term because they constantly would vote against such and such legislations or bills the POTUS initially wanted.
Same will go for Trump or Hillary for that matter I think, either of them should they win need to have majority seats in order wreak the havoc they desire, otherwise being POTUS will just be for namesake purposes the first few years until they switch up in the House.
I will admit, from the talks I have had with my classmates there is a couple ways to look at this.
1. Hillary will and like should win
2. Trump wins, barely. But he will have no support from the senate, meaning he will essentially be a useless president. But he will have veto power which means nothing progressive will happen.
Basically a Trump win will hurt the world in many ways

lol the dems are definitely going to lose the senate even if Clinton is elected.
I say Clinton wins, that's just the likelihood at this point ( the ridiculous part is how much the fate of this election varies based on which day the election is actually held, Americans voters are retarded) .
No matter what happens the US federal government will be a joke for another 4 years ( maybe less the way things in the stupid race have been going ).
They should honestly just do away with primaries and ban campaigning before mid October unless they want this reality tv to keep going on every 4 years for the next hundred years. What a waste of energy.

how do you figure? there are many seats in both Senate and House up for grabs in this same election so nobody will know for sure who is elected before making their Senate vote.Originally posted by killramos

unless you mean in the next midterm election?
I'm not saying that the result of the presidential election will mean the dems lose the senate, I am saying that when they hold the senatorial election today the dems are going to lose a ton of seats. People are pretty pissed off at the dems in general right now and i think the republicans are going to capitalize on that...
I also have absolutely no idea how my last post was off topic for the who do you think is going to win thread and moved here.
Nor the post above mine, might as well lock the thread for reply
