Election night, six months later

[Mr. Smith]

Trump (Clinton supporter)

The doubt was obvious at 9/11, and while P*(yghazi briefly turned things around, then Comeyghazi happened and ensured it.

Only things I got wrong were: The nature of Trump's win, and which three states would do it.

Me: Trump wins by 2 points
Actual: Trump loses by 2 points, but that doesn't matter

Me: Trump flips WI,NH, and NV, is since NV is a bellwether state and more reliable than Ohio has been since 1912. This puts him 12 EVs over the line
Actual: Nope, NH holds and Nevada pulls an NM 2000. It's PA and MI that flip instead and put him 36 EVs over. WI flips though.


I remember I just got a new haircut as if the old one was a bad omen [given the rest of the year], and I had work from 4-7, and it was about an hour in that the returns started coming.  I remember breathing a sigh of relief when I saw the counties that Clinton took in NC, despite hearing on he radio about the absurdly long lines.

...Then the precinct numbers were 34%, I knew it was gonna be bad, the early Virginia returns, along with Clinton starting Ohio at only 48% confirmed what I was thinking all along...and then it got into the Midwest. I remember talking to a rare Trump supporter [I made a bet BEFORE 9/11-ghazi] of mine from work after getting home...I remember him being like "Well maybe she'll pull it through if she can get Arizona and Michigan, he took Pennsylvania, right?", I explained that she needs to keep Pennsylvania and hold both MI and AZ to still win....cut to him flipping Pennsylvania.

[Mr. Smith]

This thread seems to be all about hatred for Trump voters and thoughts that we are all going to die.

I never said any of this when Obama won.

Funny, that's precisely what I remember when I lived in Appalachia, it was all about how Obama was the Anti-Christ back then. Them Liberty folk were probably the most disconsolate.

I can still remember how people were when the state stayed for Obama despite trailing the state all the way until the last hour or so. Couldn't go to a Food Lion without someone ramblin' and stocking up.

I remember how Romney was supposed to flip Pennsylvania and Florida and Nevada and all that.
