To be aghast if Trump loses?

Is there actually an Asylum big enough to take him and his ego? What will he do? How will he recover from his defeat? I'm also worried about Hill's voice - she'll have to do her acceptance speech just smiling knowingly.

Posted this on two other threads

Gutted. Not that it really matters to me personally of course i am just very sad that Trump won...not that the republicans won. Any other candidates and i probably wouldnt have paid any attention. I have been watching this with mounting disbelief everytime he opens his mouth and every time i see that his highly qualified female opponent damned for being just as bad as him with no evidence. Still ....you reap what you sew...isnt that the phrase?

You and me both, Bummymummy. A win by the Orange Blob is too terrifying to imagine. I'm watching the returns with a knot in my stomach.

Thanks dot. I'm so utterly fucked off with ignorant people saying 'they're as bad as each other' when they have not seen the good work she's done for years and the horrific things he'll do to this country I've lost any eloquent responses to this uninformed line of thought.

Evidence of what?

Trump is a racist, sexist, xenophobic lunatic. He has no policies to speak of, aside from the insane variety (building a wall that Mexico will pay for, banning Muslims from entering the US, etc.). He's a loose cannon who can't even be trusted with a Twitter account. OTOH, Clinton has a proven record of public service. Her plans and policies are thoroughly researched and reasonable. I personally disagree with some of her positions but I agree with enough of them to have felt fully confident about voting for her. She is an intelligent, clear-sighted politician who can work with people of all political stripes. As I've said before, these two candidates barely inhabit the same planet.

I think those 3 states were all "as expected" pretty much - Indiana is Pence's state and Kentucky would vote for a chihuahua wearing a red rosette in most cases

Hey guys...

So Trump is 19-3 up, but that means absolutely nothing!

Not sure why many people are praying for Hillary, she is as bad as Trump in every way.

Very early I know, lots more votes to come in, but Trump has 19 votes to 3 so far.

'And yes I do say 'bunch of twats' in respect of who voted for Brexit. That includes close family who have ALL since said they made a mistake'

Yes Bummymummy, I'm guessing if you were as aggressive with them as you are on here, they would obviously admit to having made a mistake to get you off their case.

'My view and I'm allowed to have it'

Of course you're allowed to state your view, as are the 52% of people who voted Brexit. Can't you see the contradiction here? We're all allowed to hold a view without getting abused for it surely?

I'd move to Sweden in a heartbeat, no matter the results of the US election.

(But please please please let it be a win for Clinton. The alternative is too terrifying to contemplate.)

On a quick Google of the rape situation in Sweden it is very clear it's due to Swedens strong feminist attitude and huge percentage of women reporting crimes.

Doesn't sound that horrific to me.

Maybe it just is the nasty immigrants though. Hmm

I didn't know that Anna. We have a lot of Swedish relatives and nobodies said as such.

Live love- you don't like either?

Do you know what Trump could mean for the world?

For me personally he'll fuck my health care backwards so I won't have any.

I will also possibly looking at a situation where my permanent residence status is uncertain. Meaning the country ds had grown up may not be welcome to his Mother anymore.

He will squeeze our family dry in so many ways.

I don't like Hillary's ties with Monsanto and other gmo organisations but I believe she isn't racist or an awful person and in this election that's enough for me.

And yes I do say 'bunch of twats' in respect to who voted for Brexit. That includes close family who have ALL since said they made a mistake. My view and I'm allowed to have it.

Livelovebehappy you do know nothing has changed, we haven't actually left the EU yet, but even so the £ has plummeted & costs are already rising as a result?

But the decision of the "3 idiot judges" halted the £'s fall temporarily?

LowDudgeon · 08/11/2016 23:32

the reality is everything's pretty okay so far, apart from interference by three idiot judges. So maybe Trump being made president might not be as awful as people predict

"interference by three idiot judges" you're a tabloid headline reader then?

apart from the difference that Trump, with his toddler-like hairtrigger temper, would have absolute power over the US nuclear capability (unlike the "3 idiot judges")

dear god, some people should really not be eligible to vote

By a bunch of twats, I assume you are referring to 52% of the people who bothered to vote Hmm.

Sweden is now battling a huge and unprecedented explosion in rape so I'm not sure it's a great place to move to.

Just look at all the rubbish spouted before Brexit, when the educated (???) amongst us were scaremongering as if there would be immediate Armageddon following a Brexit victory, but the reality is everything's pretty okay so far, apart from interference by three idiot judges. So maybe Trump being made president might not be as awful as people predict. I'm going to add that I dislike both so have no preference either way.
