Is it too late to claim no-contest and start over with Biden v. Romney? I doubt there is such a thing.
If Trump wins, and his 1-5-10-15 tax plan becomes a truth/reality, then you're going to like your paycheck a lot better--but we'll have an asshole for a POTUS that the world won't take seriously. If Clinton wins, your pay will decrease by approx 2%--but we'll have a blackhole for a POTUS that the world won't take seriously. Actually Trump is an aggro billionaire & some people respect that.
I'm wary for the future.
You americans are funny. Scary funny but funny. Yeah, if you end up electing Drumpf, the whole world will look at you and think "what the fuck is wrong with these people" but Clinton would be fine. She'd be taken much, much more seriously internationally. I'm not a huge fan of hers, that Sanders guy seems to be the only one that constitently makes sense when he talks, but Clinton would be fine from an international point of view. You have a weird idea of how the rest of the world perceives you...
And the only heads of state who would like Drumpf because he's an "aggro billionaire" are people like Putin, and you really don't want to please people like that.
This.
Plus it seemed (from the brief sound bite I heard on the news last night) Hilldawg is turning up with the rhetoric of "let's not be divisive, because that's not what made us fucking 'great'", possibly a bit late but I think it might be what you guys need to hear in the face of the overwhelming Wall of Drumpf.

A bit, but it's not like you guys are NK or Russia or any shit.

Bernard Sanders is not out of the race yet. Hillary has hit peak momentum, getting all her big wins in first. There are still shitloads of delegates to go around. Also all the stupid (Southern) states have finished voting so now it's left to the less backward parts of the country to decide the Democratic candidate. I'm not saying it's looking great, but it's not over.

Imagining d-rump as pres: no migrant workers in garment, produce, food service industries. because they're deported, US citizens are working those jobs now. Cost of labor goes up therefore price increases let's say 4x for food clothing & anything involving textiles or food service.
Plus those w jobs have an increase in net income more discretionary funds: demand is up:inflation. Welfare and govt aid to poor and to students decreases: those without jobs are left high and dry. Then what?
Trumps m.o. is cut the throats of competitors. Everyone is his enemy. How will that work for presidency?

Bernie's new aggressive campaign slogan may backfire on him:
"FEEL THE BERN 'ARD, YOU 'TARD!"

Ehhhhhhhhh Bernie is WAY behind Clinton. It'd be a fucking miracle if he got the candidacy at this point. She literally has twice as many delegates as him and this thing is almost over.
It's scary, but I almost think Hillary is going to win.

I'm trying to picture a riot of angry trump supporters if he gets shut out by the rnc. A bunch of geriatric white people setting out to torch a taco bell because they think that's where you find the mexicans who have stolen their precious america. At some point they decide to just order quesolupas and baja blast because you can't race war on an empty stomach.

This makes me happy,
I wish they were all elderly racists and not the 24yo jerkoffs I wiped from my facebook because their profile pic is a confederate flag
