The thing that's shocking for me is that Trump pushed normally Republican voters like br and me to Hillary..

Just to be clear, I'm open to voting for anyone...but I haven't voted Republican (for President, at least) since 2000.  Libertarian the last three elections, Democrat today.  I'm embarrassed that I could be remotely connected to the current version of the Republican party in any way. 

Hopefully there is still some path for Clinton to win.  If not, I guess it makes sense that the high of a Cubs World Series win would be followed by something like this a week later.

Clinton's odds down to 14% on 538.  Cubs were down to 12% after game 4...so maybe there's still a chance?

Jake Tapley on CNN said the market may be down on Wednesday by more than after 9/11.

Futures are down over 900 points right now.  If you have any money, buy heavily about an hour after the market opens tomorrow, assuming Trump wins.  This will be much like the Brexit vote.  Everything will drop immediately, and then gradually return to normal.

If this was the cosmic price of the Cubs winning the World Series, I think I would prefer that they hadn't.

Be interesting to see what the market does if Hillary pulls it out.

People didn't vote for Trump as much as they voted against Hillary.  I thought it would be the other way around.  Some didn't want a woman.  Some didn't want a Clinton, any more than they wanted another Bush.  Some seriously feel she is not trustworthy.  But the common people identified with Trump over Clinton who they see as an elitist.

Yeah, it's easy to identify with a guy who lives in a gold penthouse on top of a Manhattan skyscraper that has his name on it.

Probably more so than identifying an elitist corrupt politician that considers herself above the law and uses a charity to sell her influence around the world.

This is the Politics And Religion thread so I'm just gonna throw this out there...

1Timothy 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

If you claim to be a Christian man yet don't agree with this then that's called blasphemy.

Today is s good day.

Cue Ice Cube...

To the list of things DUSTY does not understand, we can now comfortably add the meaning of the word "blasphemy."
