    It seems like they're everyone's takeaways from your posts, even those who don't post in the OT section...

    They are out there. I'm in Washington State and you only have to go a few hours east to find it (Spokane, Tri Cities) . Matter of fact you don't have to just go east. Drive out to the coast and you see it also (Long Beach). Never underestimate the opponent. I'm totally convinced Trump won last time because people believed the polls a little too much and felt there was no way he would actually win. Apathy cost the the Democrats the election. Just sayin.

    Pointed this out multiple times...and if people don't take this election seriously and vote "en masse" and grasp the fact that nothing is a sure thing including the polls...the outcome could easily be the same...4 more years of you know who.

    I wonder if resident *poster* @ABM considers Barack, "disguised as black" as well. He is half of course, and that doesn't meet the @ABM criteria for claiming a race.

    I think it was a perfect storm of bad outcomes for Hillary and favorable for trump.

    Apathy was one, but I think it was mainly the apathy of black voters in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Detroit, and Milwaukee that turned the electoral college. If blacks had turned out to vote for Hillary like they did for Obama in 2012, she would have likely won

    but there were other factors:

    * Hillary just wasn't liked, even by a hell of a lot of D's. And nobody wanted to see Bill Clinton in the white house for 4 more years (I guess that's apathy?)
    * James Comey launched that last minute torpedo at Clinton's waterline that sunk the momentum she was building
    * Jill Stein was an effective Moscow stalking horse with the Green party

    * it shouldn't be ignored that years of voter ID laws, closed polling stations in D leaning districts, and blatant voter suppression was a huge factor in 2016.

    * finally, the electoral college is an obsolete anti-democratic relic that skews in favor of the R's

    smokescreen...billionaires are propping up the market and scooping up stocks like it's a blue light special....one way to try to hang onto those tax breaks and privileges.

    I wonder if he realizes most people no longer see the stock market as the true indicator of anything other than rich people bragging about being rich.

    In Southern California, Republicans are illegally placing "drop boxes" for ballots, labeled as official ballot drop box. They are not secure and ballots placed in them will not be counted. California voters, you can look up your REAL drop box location.

    Make Tricky Dick look like rank amateur.

    From Forbes:

    “California law allows people to hand their ballots over to a designated third party, who can then deliver the ballot, and state Democrats have used this law to hold “ballot parties” where attendees can fill out their mail-in ballots and leave them with volunteers who can submit them at once.

    The California GOP is using the same law to justify its use of these ballot boxes with the National Republican Congressional Committee tweetingthat California Democrats were “only ok with ballot harvesting when it’s the Democrats ballot harvesting.”

    https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.fo...-boxes-deemed-illegal-by-state-officials/amp/

    Geez, what a stupid law. It seems designed to invite ballot abuse. Put your ballot in the mail or an official drop box location.
