2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIs anyone else feeling like me right now?
I am in complete shock over the turn around in this campaign.
What the hell happened? One guy lies and changes his stance on
just about everything, is completely out of touch with the common man
and is more unqualified than even 'W' and the other guy is the
complete opposite.
It is shocking to me out the economy is coming back, Bin Laden is dead, the Iraq was
is finally over, our troops are coming home from Afghanistan, the auto industry is back,
I mean the list goes on and on...
I feel like I am in a bad dream. Anyone else feel like me?

(11,304 posts)the world will still be here Nov 7. It will be a repeat of Bush II. Anyone who voted for him will be reminded and reminded over and over how the republicans screwed up. Thats all we can do. There is no sense in kicking yourself in the butt. I pray to god Obama wins. But we have to face facts it could go the other way.

(9,774 posts)Obama should be leading by 8-10 points nationally and have comfortable leads in swing states. But Romney is a hell of a car salesman. People believe his shit and the media eats it up

(1,285 posts)The Main $tream Media is making the election 'look' much closer than it really is. The closer an election appears, the more people tune in and see the advertisements.
Advertisements = money in the pockets of the M$M.

(6,843 posts)This "tightening" was inevitable. We will win though. No one really WANTS to vote for Mitt, and in the end, this incredibly flawed candidate from an incredibly flawed field will fail.

I am getting a bit tired of the shocked threads to be honest. What is shocking about this? Look at 2010. Or 2004. 2008 was about Bush being so bad that Dems had a watershed year. Obama and Hillary helped out too with an interesting primary. But make no mistake, this country is very divided. Where do you think these House and Senate idiot Repubs come from? The sky? They are voted in.

(801 posts)race, to encourage their base to GOTV. But we will GOTV even more and Obama will win. He is already but the noise of the propaganda is getting in the way. Encourage others who haven't voted yet to vote for Obama to avoid war, avoid a bigger national debt, avoid downgrading women's rights and social justice, etc.
