2016 Postmortem

(5,420 posts)37. Yes I do hate it
Many will squawk about how others can't know what's best for them but if they are not among the rich, they are about to lose big time. Imagine the US trying to survive another Bush/cheney. It's going to be mighty close to that with either Trump or Corporate Hillary. If Bernie loses the US and the rest of the world loses.
And they can't see it. It's as though some think they are going to be part of the preferred. Even if I were rich, I would not want to be part of that club. Many of them will be circling that same drain the rest of us are by the time a Trump or Hillary POTUS ends.

Just wait a couple days... I'm sure the MSM will finally recognize that SBS REALLY won.

How do you know what their interests are? Maybe their top issue is Jesus Christ?

Are you sure? Maybe people lied to the pollster because they didn't want to admit voting on religion

Does that include all those conservative, non-rich Republicans, in your view?

I certainly would never deny them their reasons or the right to act on them...
