Not at all. Democrats campaigned on identity politics and got swept away by a clown who campaigned on the collective interests of the larger majority.

The Democrats need to focus on the collective interests of the majority, including minorities in that, instead of laser focusing on key demographics they expect to carry them.
Exactly. Pitting people against each other based on their gender, sexuality & race ... what a joke. If Trump wins it's s a victory for the shared American identity, despite the claims of of racism etc against him. He didn't get this many votes without a number of minorities getting in behind his message.

Trump is a complete idiot that should never have been this close to becoming president but he's there because so many have underestimated him, the stupidity of americans and the depth of anger at how poorly the political system represents the people it purports to

Ideally Hillary will sneak in and there will be an understanding of how close the US came to electing a circus clown and make adjustments to rectify how poorly the political establishment is viewed

There's also a massive irony that should Trump win it appears he may do so with Clinton winning the popular vote after he claimed the election was going to be rigged.

He will be assassinated before the end of his term

Or Chris Arnade. Or Rod Dreher at the American Conservative. None of them Trump fans, all acutely aware of what was happening in America.

Anyone reading stuff outside the mainstream could see Trump was stronger than polls suggested. I didn't think he'd pull it off, but here we are.
True. I thought it was line ball (my prediction thread had something a 273/270 result either way) but Trump looks set to exceed that result

Yes I voted for him. On a personal level, I don't regret it.
So he isn't the celeb business identity who should have no trouble applying his acumen to politics? Im just saying you don't need to look for a new 'messiah'

Will trump be a do nothing like he and maybe baileu in victoria?

The more you look at it the more Clinton looks like she's ****** in all of Michigan Pennsylvania and Wisconsin

These two people ran two of the worst campaigns in political history, it'd look like Clinton's run a worse one despite greater resources

Should've let Bernie get it eh?

I said 2 days ago I'd rather Trump win. Only because the alternative was Clinton! I'm over the Clinton's!
