And just think, less than week before the election the poster you quoted, as well as others of his political stance, was saying, "Thank God for the Electoral College".

And, by gosh by golly, if only the Latinos and Asians had been voting, maybe Hillary would have won. Not sure where you were ever going with this. It was obvious for some time that Hillary was finished unless Obama won amnesty for the illegal aliens.

I think they just heard that on CNN and were mimicking it like most of the other stuff posted by them.

That sounds pretty accurate. Sadly, these liberals tend to believe if anyone of a certain demographic is exactly like everyone else in that demographic. Sad.

That gives the thread tremendous value in the area of humor!

I am glad you brought this up Day. IMO, Clinton should have done even better, considering the whole media campaign and the uneducated, backward, Nazi, Fascist, demonology, etc. propoganda thrown at Trump and his supporters.

So I wonder why Clinton did not even do better among Latinos and Asians? And not just them either. Even here in New York, the state she served as Senator and one of the most liberal states in the Nation, she did not even reach 60% of the vote.

So could 1/3rd of Latinos and more then a quarter of Asians really be racist fascists? Or could there be something else at play here - maybe they liked part of Trump's message or maybe they did not like Clinton? Maybe a little of both?
