Yeah if you factor in arizona, alaska Wisconsin and Michigan hes won, the stats in Pennsylvania are going his way too , He did it

I knew the moment he said he was running he was going to do it.

Im minded of this quote

"when i said i wanted to be a comedian, everybody laughed.... well they are not laughing now"

 

[mike]

Hes taken Pennsylvania, we have a winner folks

Been quite a lull the past half hour or so and to fill in that the time.

Alec Baldwin just phoned me, wants to know if he can hide in my garage for the next 4 years

In as much as it could be the silent majority that was the factor here I wonder how much it was the non appearance of the millennials. Has anyone heard what their numbers were?

304 EC votes, decisive win

Well done US President Donald Trump and he did go to a military college don't under estimate him.

I think if you take into factor the rising right wing sentiment the world over be it brexit, the rise of one nation here in australia the voter turn out (15 percent 1st time voters compared with 9 percent in 2012) the factor here is dissafected populace.
People are no longer the cattle politicians have taken them for. The internet the sense of social connectivity has erased that subtle sense of "you are not significant " that has been the common mans sense of self for decades if not longer

 

[mike]

This is not a win for donald trump, like Brexit this is a win for the common man/woman

Its a win for all of us in the big picture, regardless of who you voted for

Podesta keeping the faith. They have to clear out the Javits center for the NAB convention. It's a good thing there wasn't a balloon drop I don't think they would be able to clear the center out in time.

But while i was happy to put money on his winning the day he said he was running, i wouldt put much on his "fixing" anything

That really wasn't meant to be taken serious.

I cant stress enough this wasnt about Clinton vs Trump Elephants vs Donkeys.
This was always going to be about the global conciousness as it relates to our political elites
The people are sick of being told what is good for them, Elections are supposed to be about who the people choose to represent THEM.
For too long now thats been a farce. the political elite do what they want with no regard for the people the represent

This is democracy at its most powerful, we dont need armed revolution when democracy works this way. Thats a step forward in human social governance

 

[Wade]

I did't think I could have been ready for a Trump presidency but if Rudy Giuliani (especially) and Chris Christie are included in any higher appointments that's going to be a tough nut to swallow for me.

 

[mike]

Sorry, not this time.

Gene is one of the good guys
We dont always agree on things, but then thats a good thing in the big picture
He has his views, i have mine and you have yours
But in this place we all have a voice

To my way of seeing things he hasnt tried to make his louder than anyone elses even though he is the owner of this space

 

[mike]

i once sat on a bench at Bondi Beach and watched a dog chasing seagulls

For the longest time it was a study in futility, and then..... he got one

He let it go and had a very confused look on his face

I suspect Mr Trump will wake up with that same expression in a few hours time

There are some very Zen moments to be had on park benches at Bondi Beach

Giuliani’s own daughter wouldn’t vote for him. He is probably going to end up as US Attorney General in charge of the Department of Justice.

 

[mike]

He took Wisconsin, thats 276 of the 304 he will take lets be gracious in the win

Please ????

This shouldnt divide us here, its incidental to the forums purpose and topics

Donald Trump has single-handedly defeated the two most powerful political dynasties of the last quarter century, the Bush family and the Clintons. I don't have to like the result (and I don't) to appreciate as an historian the magnitude of his achievement, and the importance of the moment.
