The odds of Hillary winning were as high as 99% according to one odds-maker on Election Day.
What oddsmaker was that?

The problem with subsidizing laziness is lazy people are often too lazy to vote.

Leftists hate capitalism yet they defend economies from those states just to attack the rest of the country.

The amount of democrats and republicans are almost even, but independents/centrists/non-partisan people outnumber them by a wide margin.

USA hits new low worldwide - Germany and even China are more popular...
I don't care. I like it here. You know, speak the language fairly well, understand the laws, etc.

I didn't know that China had an illegal immigration problem; I thought they had an illegal departure problem.

I'm all for concentrating on what is best for Americans. But I think it's safe to say that having our allies feel distrustful of, and repelled by, what they think America has become isn't exactly GOOD for America or Americans. Or, is it good for America to go it alone?
