I'd be perfectly fine if the entire Republican, Democrat structure crumbled to nothing.

While they're at it, get rid of the electoral votes.

What's wrong with simply counting ALL votes for citizens as the SAME, not by state. Just by total?

It's so easy a baby can understand.

How many citizen votes for Trump, and how many for Hillary?

Just count them up.

The Tea Party was the greatest thing to ever happen to the Dems, yet one of the worst things ever for the common American. The GOP is slipping more and more into complete irrelevance. Sorry, it is not the 1960s US anymore. I really don't see any end in sight for the GOP's woes unless they reform themselves completely from top to bottom. Unchecked Dem power isn't good either.

I have, which is good because God knows I can't hear any broadcasts over the thunderous sound of the entire globe laughing at us.

So...thank goodness for all those red visuals. Might not have a clue WHAT was going on otherwise.

Do you ever think that if the Dems had just backed off on the Syrian refugee issue they might have had more electoral success today?

Nope.

Because it is not down to real issues, it is down to: the racists FINALLY have the nation back again (or think they do). The N word and grabbing women by the hoo-ha are going to be able to come back aboveground. Among other things.

Christ could have been running the Dem ticket but still not have been able to trump (oh yar har) that.

Ask any backward hillbilly you know: Too tempting. Make America white again. With a penis.

Why do you assume that those who support Trump are all racist? That is very ignorant. You apparently have no idea what is happening in your high yield bond market and how that will affect both energy prices, and the banking system which is already teetering on the verge of a full blown crises.

Your entire banking system is at risk. If you elect the wrong candidate it can almost be guaranteed that sovereign banking functions will be relinquished to a global entity, rendering that entity in control of national policy.

When this happens, power will be consolidated into a small group of individuals who may not think inline with what you deem as personally beneficial. In fact, population growth is widely considered to be a problem among those whom control a vast amount of resources. The easiest way to control a population is through the issuance of debt.

Your debt will now be owed to a global entity. This is what you fail to see. You live in an illusion where you do not believe the atrocities of the past can happen again today. You should be very concerned about the welfare of US society because the decisions we make will either contribute to our demise or lead us to an opportunity where we can change our destiny.

No human is perfect. Trump does not have the characteristics that you would desire in a perfect man. No such man exists except for the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Trump's human qualities are redeemable because we are all guilty of inappropriate behavior. However, the initiation of acts that will potentially lead to genocide are unconscionable, unthinkable, and unforgivable by anybody I know. Yet, George Soros, a man guilty of not only participating in such an atrocity, but celebrating it, has significant influence on one of the candidates.

Given the global events on the horizon, this should be highly concerning to you.
