Time to Stop Blaming Trump

Ultimately, he is what he is. It's awful, but he is genuinely who he is.

Instead, it's time to focus on those people who enabled him and who ultimately support most of his views and policies: the Republican Party.

The problem is not that all Republicans think the way this guy does. The problem is that they’ve been riding this tiger for a long time. They’ve been feeding their base all kinds of crazy for years, primarily for political expedience … -Pres.

Election Predictions- Make Yours Here

Then, let's check this thread on Nov. 9.


Yes, yes, work hard to GOTV, don't take things for granted... BIGLY


But hey, we are all political junkies here... let's have some free-form prognostication.


Here are my predictions:

Clinton 52%- Trump 39%, However, she will hover near 50% most of the night, but the electoral blowout will be apparent. The only question is over/under 400 electoral votes. Electoral vote= 361-173

Dems take control of the Senate.
Dems take control of the House by 1-5 seats.

Rubio and McCain are retired from the Senate.
Trump congratulates Clinton, but doesn't concede the election and vows to fight on with his new media company (which will fold before the next Presidential election in 2020).
