Practically--as a Texas voter--a write-in vote had no possibility of making a difference
It was pissing in the wind, if you will--and likely to blow back at that...

You might as well stay home if you were going to chose anyone but HRC or Trump
Admittedly Texas has very strong GOP preference but with Trump's hostility for many stratas of voters in Texas-- minorities, seniors, younger voters, women---the DNC is making inroads...
And I have a conscience

Many did stay home. That's why Hillary lost.

Nope. Those deep in hillaryworld are following her guidelines - always blame someone else.

She is ultimately responsible for her own loss.

Other than running an extremely poor campaign..

If she hadn't had that private server then it never would have been hacked.
If she hadn't allowed huma to send her emails to weiner's laptop then there would have been no reason for comey to reopen the case.


comey has a secondary responsibility for her loss, in that he was the one who had listed off all that she'd done wrong and then stepped out of his job description to make up a reason to let her off.

Oh, the RNC is such a reputable source! I'm glad they are eating their own...a guy who was appointed as Dep. Attyn. General by Bush and who was special council to the Whitewater investigation!

They are eating just about everyone.....won't be any scraps left on the table except a lone dictator.

Just when one thought it could not get any cheesier.

MSNBC reporting Comey’s book contains references to Trump’s small hands and orange complexion. The talking head of the hour remarked that it was unfortunate Comey chose to go this low. The book comes off as vindictive.

And then the RNC goes low with Lyin Comey.

“As DC Turns” and all that.

There was not the turn out for HRC among blacks as there was for Obama
And I guess they regret that now

But that might be as sharp a pain as someone who voted for Trump and now regrets it

I've seen nothing to back that up.

I'd think it would be worse for those who voted for Hillary now knowing that Sanders very well might have beat Trump.

I agree that Comey's remarks don't reflect as unbiased maybe
But Trump I believe was the one who made the first comment about the size of his hands when he was ridiculing Marco Rubio

And Trump does appear orange to me at times when I see him on TV
I think he wears makeup and uses a tanning bed at times and maybe has problem balancing the two

If you want to Google black turnout, I think you will see the stats
Whether they regret it was my supposition
And I think Sanders beating Trump is maybe wishful/vindictive thinking depending on how you feel about the DNC's actions...
I still believe there was a physical hack of the election systems in some states or precincts to throw Trump votes....
No real evidence so just opinion on my part
But some numbers were just too close to be true...

IMO, the greens are bought and paid for by Republicans. See Ralph Nader. The democrats sued the greens in Texas and won because their petition drive for getting on the ballot was paid for and run by Republicans. Remember, almost every judge in Texas is a Republican Happened in another state, too.

I'd be inclined to vote Libertarian. I voted for Ross Perot and Ron Paul every time they were on the ballot.

This last POTUS election was about all those judges McConnell held so Obama could not name. And the Supreme court vacancy that Obama was not permitted to fill. The result of this election just by judges appointed will be with us for the next 50 years.

I do not see the congress disbanding the military any time soon.
