General Election Thread: Two Weeks Out

I can only think of a handful of regular posters who indicated they would vote for Trump.

Other people here have brought up the "uneducated rube" over and over. Considering all but 2-3 people that post here are white, college educated men, it was surprising to see the CNN exit poll indicating Trump beat Clinton in white college graduate men 54-39%.

Also, he beat her in the overall electorate for people making $50-99K, 100-199K, 200-250K and over 250K.

That should tell you a lot about the lack of awareness of many of the posters on this board.

Saw this this morning and found it comforting, so I thought I would share.

“The Constitution anticipated this. The Founding Fathers anticipated Donald Trump. They feared tyrants, they were overthrowing the rule of a king, and they designed a separation-of-powers government in which all of the true powers belonged to Congress, those can then be reviewed by the courts…”
-Lawrence O'Donnell, MSNBC

We're going to get through this.

It was 49-45 for Trump with college educated whites (women by 6 points for Clinton), non college educated whites voted for Trump at 67%. That's the difference. And she won the popular vote.

I hear you, but in a race this close a lot of things were the difference. I am curious to see what Gary Johnson voters would have done if he wasn't on the ballot.

Non whites with no degree were more likely to vote for Hillary than were college graduate non-whites.
Hillary did clock Trump 58-37% among postgraduates.

She wins if Gary/Jill aren't on the ballot. These 3rd party candidates ruin everything.

When we heard that Trump went to MI and some other midwest states late the other night I couldn't shake the feeling something big was up.

"We've analyzed their attack, sir, and there is a danger. Should I have your ship standing by?"
"Evacuate? In our moment of triumph? I think you overestimate their chances."

Haven't you learned? A lot of these lib-bots know more about all of us than we know about ourselves. Hence "intellectual elites". I just feel #blessed to be able to post my rube messages on the same boards as them.

I think the most frustrating thing about this election is that the uneducated, rural, white Randleman rubes who came out in droves are already living in the Republican shit utopia of their dreams -- they are living under a Republican local government, a Republican state government, and have a Republican congress. Most rarely, if ever, have to interact with black, Muslim, or gay people, have no need to fear terrorism personally, and have all the guns they can fuck. They are living the terrible lives they always dreamed of.

Sorry that hit home for you. All that will happen to me is a tax break -- if I weep it is for the rest of the nation, including you, because you won't be getting what you want or think you're getting.

And a Johnson was her undoing. You'd think she'd be used to that by now.
