How come there is not a Thread for this Election?
Here is a good movie based on a True story about Southern Boys fighting in Mississippi. Fighting for the Rich or not?

It is about land owners that did not have enough Slaves to fight for the South in Their place.
I forgot to add I voted in our early elections.
The choices are Shady, Insane, Clueless, Who? and a few more Whos?
I voted for the Big "M" on the ballot. Maybe it will pass this time.
[QUOTE=WorldTravel69;448111]How come there is not a Thread for this Election?[/QUOTE]I do not think that anyone wants to comment about two chronic liars and two criminals. That is a bad pair to draw to. Sane people just want to vomit. My dos centavos worth.
Tres3.
Wondering about: I wonder if we will see an immediate correction in the peso/dollar with the FBI now reporting that the new batch of emails showed no criminality? If stock futures are an indication I'm thinking that yes, my dollars will be worth more pesos on Monday.
Bad news; One of them is going to get elected on Tuesday.
Unless of course this happens:
What happens if no presidential candidate gets 270 Electoral votes?
If no candidate receives a majority of Electoral votes, the House of Representatives elects the President from the 3 Presidential candidates who received the most Electoral votes. Each state delegation has one vote. The Senate would elect the Vice President from the 2 Vice Presidential candidates with the most Electoral votes. Each Senator would cast one vote for Vice President. If the House of Representatives fails to elect a President by Inauguration Day, the Vice-President Elect serves as acting President until the deadlock is resolved in the House.

Just as significant in the ARS "strength" are the 27% short term yields on ARS denominated securities vs. 0% yields on similar USD denominated securities.
I like hilary very muchh , kises babysss ❤️❤️❤️.
How awesome would seeing this tomorrow be?
This is going to be fun to watch.
The Republic is saved!
The Major News Media outlets have been exposed by Wikileaks as the DNC's lackeys!
ObamaCare, Obama's signature legislative achievement, has collapsed under it's own onerous weight as predicted and will be repealed!
Obama's "legacy" which is based upon Executive Orders will be erased with the stroke of a pen as it was created!
A victory or Reaganisque proportions!
Rejoice my Brothers the King is Dead - Long live the President!!

[QUOTE]Hillary has worked very long and very hard over a long period of time, and we owe her a major debt of gratitude for her service to our country.
I mean that very sincerely. Now it is time for America to bind the wounds of division, have to get together. To all Republicans and Democrats and independents across this nation, I say it is time for us to come together as one united people.

My liberal brothers on this board are a bit like the CNN talking heads this morning, they just can not rap their heads around the fact Clinton lost and Trump won.
Today these same liberal brothers are now calling some of Trump’s central themes of this campaign “hate”, the repeal of the catastrophe of ObamaCare and rescinding Obama’s executive orders which circumvented the legislative process.
Trump was both humble and conciliatory in his speech last night after winning the election. He called for unity and even complimented Clinton, but at no time did he retreat from his central campaign promises. We have yet to hear from Clinton. Tell me is it true she was in a state of shock, unable to address her followers, mumbling “but I’m entitled” over and over?
Trump’s defeat of Clinton is on the order of magnitude of Reagan / Carter. Gentlemen look at the county map, the country is nearly all RED with only the liberal bastions on the east the left coast being blue with a couple of other states. Gentlemen look at the Electoral College, this was no “close” race, this was a repudiation of the last 8 years and the promise of 4 more of the same under Clinton.
I am certain from now until January 20, 2017, Obama is going to have writer’s cramp signing all the blanket pardons he will have to issue before leaving office.
To paraphrase the immortal and conciliatory words of the liberal messiah, Barak Hussain Obama, after his election “We won, you lost, get use to it”.
This liberal brother is going to be a gracious loser, and hope that Trump can indeed achieve some positive things for the US. I was sort of surprised, but not all that surprised. Hey, if the Cubs can win the World Series, anyone can win anything. I'm in Europe so I did not watch the election due to the time change, but I had a funny feeling when I woke up, and I dicked around for quite a while before checking the results. I heard the stock futures market took a huge dump overnight, as did the dollar, and the MX peso. But the stock market is way up as of this minute, and the dollar is up against the euro, and I don't care about the MX peso.
So to my conservative brethren, I say, congratulations on your victory. I guess the Dems picked up 1 Senate seat and maybe 2 but one was still too close to call. So not enough to repeal the ACA, I wouldn't think. As Daddy Rulz said, it will be fun to watch what happens. I won't be there and only care about what happens in the financial markets. After a nasty campaign with two rather unpopular candidates, at least the election did not end up in the House of Representatives. Obama has reached out to Trump. Trump was gracious to Clinton. That's not all that bad of a start, if you think about it. So best of luck going forward to both my liberal and conservative friends who will have to live under the results.
I just wish my conservative friend Punter 127 had hung around long enough to see it. For those who don't know, he passed away last month. He was a reasonable conservative, one you could talk to.
Really sorry to hear he passed away.
Wish all our bothers the best in the coming year.

[/QUOTE]I do not intend to participate in any discussion on the essence of the political issues at stake. I’d just like to point out, from a purely mathematical perspective, that yesterday’s results are very different from those of the Carter/Reagan 1980 election.
HRC won the popular vote with 47.7% vs 47.5%. Reagan got 50,7% vs Carter’s 41% (independent Anderson got 6,6%).
The following article models what the outcome would have been if only 1% of the vote would have been casted for HRC instead of for Trump. Such a shift would not have affected the outcome in 1980.
