    Almost any of them would have been more tolerable than Trump. If I could've named the nominee, I would've went with Cruz. I think a politician that is willing to go into Iowa and tell them he wants to kill the RFS (and still won the state no less) is one who might actually put principle over expediency. He did, however, lose a little bit of my respect when he knuckled under and endorsed Trump.

    Aside from him, I think I could have voted for Rubio, Walker, (probably) Fiorina, Paul, Jindal or even Perry.

    In the end, I wrote in Evan McMullin. Apparently he was formally registered as a write-in (that's a thing?) in my state, meaning that his vote totals would be counted. Apparently other write-ins aren't even tallied unless write-ins make up a significant portion of the vote....

    EDIT: On a different note, here's a fun real-time election forecast via the NYT. It updates itself before your very eyes as results come in- Right now it predicts Hillary 80% likely to win and with a 310 electoral vote total. I don't know if it's accurate- but at least it's interesting.

    I would follow her to Hell with a damp sponge for a shield. Since none of the other candidates were truly qualified, I tapped her for it.

    I showed up at the first meeting and got a witness a very petty fight over two people who wanted to be chair. It seemed mainly like a GOP cheerleading team otherwise. After the meeting, I withdrew from the committee- though they still send me spam.

    I don't really consider myself a GOP loyalist- I've never given them any money and may never do so. My beliefs align much closer to the Republicans than Democrats- but I think the tribalism that goes with the two parties is unhelpful. The worst case of that is this election.

    Yeah, this election looked like a tall order for Trump, but to me, his X factor was also the crowd that he speaks to who doesn't normally turn out big for elections. We're seeing the possibility that he could flip some traditionally blue states.

    If Trump does manage to win, I look forward to seeing liberals and media (but I repeat myself ) heads exploding over the next few days. He'd definitely be a more entertaining president than Clinton.... not sure that's a good thing though.

    So according to the NYT, there's an 80% chance of Trump winning and a 95% chance to maintain control of the House and Senate. I never countenanced the possibility of a president Trump with total GOP control of Washington.

    I'm pretty sure it's over either way.

    Assuming the worst, as horrifying as a Trump presidency will be there will be a small part of me that would enjoy watching Hillary wondering what the hell just happened. Hopefully the DNC learns from this. You may think you know better than us, but you have to do a better job convincing the rest of us, not just smugly telling us how it goes.

    I can't believe Trump is actually probably going to win, I thought for sure it was going to be Clinton. The thought of a Trump presidency scares me but in a way I'm excited to see what he will do. Me personally I voted for Vermin Supreme, because I'm worried about the state of dental care in this country.

    Kinda makes you wonder what would have happened if Sanders had won the Democratic nomination. One the one hand his self labeling as "socialist" made him a non-starter for the older generation but on the other hand a lot of people seemed excited for a potential Sanders presidency, more so than for Clinton who was supported just because she isn't Trump.

    Depends what the voting demographics are. Corbyn is incredibly popular among the younger demographic in the UK, but they're also highly unlikely to vote. A marker of this discrepancy was David Cameron's former constituency, where the Labour membership doubled prior to the by-election, but where their vote halved.

    The Dems still think they are entitled to the union (working class) and black vote. They have been losing the union votes over the years by both letting the country's manufacturing go to hell and trying (or being painted as trying) to take the guns from the Midwest hunters. And Clinton could not get the black vote motivated in the states that count. She won the primaries in the South mainly with the black vote, but she wasn't going to win those states in the general election regardless.

    Pure arrogance lead them to this point. Anointing Clinton before the nomination race even began bypassed the usual vetting, they knew she was hugely disliked and scandal prone and put her up anyway. "How am I not up by 10 points" indeed. They just don't get it.

    Yeah, people are blaming the voters for daring to have differing opinions from them. I generally bite my tongue because I enjoy the company of these people when politics isn't involved, but it's not the voters' job to prop up crappy candidates. It's up to the candidates and their campaigns to sell themselves to the voters, and if they aren't able to do that, it's on them.

    It's fairly dispiriting, as even though at this point in my life my political convictions are more than distasteful for any political spectrum, I still hold vestigial sympathies for the left. The D Party is more fragmented than the R party, but complacency has only increased with each instance of pointing this out.

    And if you ignore your base and tell them it's raining, they will eventually realize that they are being micturated on. I am not in the Trump demographic, but I know lots of people that are a part of it. They aren't happy, and they aren't getting any reassurances that their situation will get better from their supposed party. It's not that the GOP will actually improve their situation, but at least they are giving it lip service.

    Trump just took the lead in PA. Elitist, arrogant, and out of touch. The Democratic Party, 2016.
