Completely. "Aren't you excited about the first female president?" Yeah, forget policies, what race and/or sex is the candidate. Of course her answer was emphatic..... "NO!!".

The claim of racism is merely a facade to try and justify hatred against him. It is always the ultimate trump card (no pun intended but it does fit neatly into this election). It is always the claim lately. If you vote against my side it is always due to race, sex, sexual orientation, etc. Why can't the other side simply accept that at least half the country does not like your policies?

Like Elijah Cummings said to the Republicans after Obama won his first term, "You don't understand, our side won!".

I cannot agree with this. I think the silent majority was from Nixon. During the anti-war protests and riots from his first term many said that Nixon was finished and he said the people that were not protesting was the silent majority. He was correct to the tune of a second term landslide. Of course he botched that term with the Watergate coverup but that is a different issue. I don't think the Reagan supporters were ever silent. He completely annihilated the competition in his reelection bid with a stunning margin.

He wasn't voted for because he is good or may be. In fact Trump really never got over about 35% support even among Republicans. He simply outlasted 16 other candidates (spreading their votes among many) because of star power. That was the primary. In the general election yesterday, it wasn't about Trump but about Hillary and how horrible of a candidate that she was. As I said to a few people yesterday, I am not elated about Trump being the president. I am ecstatic about Hillary not being the president. With that said, you are stretching the truth quite a bit. I guess that is not uncommon in political commentary. Trump did not disrespect Muslims. He said that he would suspend immigration from Muslim countries until a system was in place for them to be vetted. Trump has no issue with Hispanics but has a huge problem with illegal aliens and has said so emphatically. Unfortunately for Hillary and the Democrats, so does a majority of Americans. That is no disrespect for a culture but for a criminal act. I must have missed the part where he confessed to a sexual assault. You say he used a "loophole". Yeah, so do I every year when I pay my taxes. I use every loophole that the law allows. I can only assume by your comments that you merely pay all taxes possible and never even take the standard deduction. I commend you for paying 100% of your taxes without claiming any deductions. After all, we don't like people that take all deductions allowed by law do we? Talk about hypocritical....... Does he relate to the working class? I doubt it but I know that he hires many of them. What about the Clintons who claimed to be broken by legal fees and such when Bill left office only to be multi-millionaires now. I wonder how they related to the working class? Sorry but your arguments hold no water to at least half of this country and I suspect that had he had a (D) in front of his name, the other half would be all for it. I can remember a sitting president named Clinton that seduced a young intern into a sex act in his office while his wife was in the bedroom and most of the Dems at the time said it was merely between he and his wife. His sexual transgressions should not matter nor his lying under oath when question in a deposition or his lying to the American people about it. You see your complaints aren't about the actions but who is making them.

And Hillary!!

Fox called it. Obviously they aren't official but I tend to think they waited a long time to call it.

Hmmm.... John Podesta going to speak at the Clinton headquarters and not Hillary?

Too close to call.

But if he does....

This isn't over yet. If Trump gets to 269 I will be celebrating but not until then.

If Michigan goes Trump, the Republicans will have the presidency, the House and the Senate.

Without even holding Alaska and Arizona that Romney won in 2012.

Michigan would end it.

I think any of them would have blown Hillary out. What even kept her this close is that Trump is a crude rich guy with a big locker room mouth. Had he simply zipped his mouth it would not be this close and still up in the air. But, that is who the Republicans fell for in the primary............

She sent a tweet that said something like saying her campaign staff fought a good fight. That is about as close to tossing in the towel as you can do without conceding. For a not very popular reality television star, even if Hillary wins, you have to wonder about where her support stands. Had it been a Rubio, Kasich, Cruz, et al., this one would not have even been close.

Hillary has already almost sent in her concession with a tweet. It certainly isn't over but she and her campaign are looking strongly at that.

I ate at Larry's in Bridge City for the first time when they were in a few weeks ago (they come in to fish Sabine Lake during the fall runs). I thought it was pretty good. Not "awesome" as seems to be a popular word these days but it was good solid food.

I have three friends coming in from MO next Thursday and they usually make a stop at Floyd's before they leave. I hope another week is long enough to get it backup and running.

Hopefully repairs will be quick.

About 30 years ago I used to think that Casa Ole was the end all of salsa. Then I screwed up and went to other restaurants..............

When a coach says, we are not like other teams in the district making excuses, is he talking about the coaching staffs or fans? I saw no coaches complaining about being cheated or "what ifs". I saw plenty of fans doing it and have seen the same from PAM fans that I know since Friday. Is Harrison blaming fans for being fans or comparing himself and his coaches to fans? It seems as if he has an ax to grind like maybe he doesn't think that PAM has gotten enough respect and in his emotion after losing the game is crossing fan bases/internet posts with coaches. In a strange kind of way it seems like his comment on excuses is like whining after seeing his expected perfect season going down the drain. On the other hand, this whole thread might be entirely too many brain cells wasted on an after game comment with no time to think it out. Oh yeah, Is "other people" a pejorative?
