    ​Zero. Self. Awareness.
    Man, she lives in San Francisco. I imagine there are probably 2 Trump supporters in the entire county. She wasn't wrong for her thoughts, she just didn't realize that SF is not an example of the rest of the US.

    I'll admit though.. the one thing I did NOT expect.. was Trump winning the popular vote. That is just amazing. Truly fucking amazing. For all the shit stacked up against him, I thought he'd have to get lucky... but damn... He seriously won the popular vote... Crazy.

    Spoken like an ignorant man that doesn't understand the struggle of a rich white lady living in San Fran.

    Eh, he might not have. Cali votes are still rolling in.

    Hmm.. will be interesting then to see how it plays out with final tallies. I'll amend my statement then.. at no point up to over 110m votes has he trailed. Didn't see that coming at all! :P

    It's just truly astounding what he pulled off. One of those rare political campaigns. When you look at what he did numbers/% wise throughout the whole thing it's nuts..

    This is what.. first time since 1922 they said, since Republicans had controlled everything? That's saying something. No way around it at all. Everyone should respect what he pulled off, even if they don't agree with him on everything.

    Just makes me chuckle :P
    The only time she EVER had energized crowds was when she had some A-lister up on stage with her. No energy.

    First time a President coming in that his party has controlled everything. It has been done since, but not for a brand new guy.

    What's really fucking funny is Hillary and her team conspiring with liberal media to help push Trump towards the republican nomination thinking he was the one they could beat.

    Well, he was her best chance. I think any one else up there would have annihilated the ever living shit out of her.

    I honestly don't think so Gelston. Do I think there were better candidates than Trump in the Republican field.. I do.

    But I think they would have withered under the attacks by her Campaign and the media. They would have balked and apologized at some point, which would have just drained all energy from their supporters.

    Trump was needed for at least this one facet, to expose and disrupt the political structure completely (both Dem and Republican). Who the hell knows how it will turn out, but we'll see.
