Re: US Election 2016

It's not breaking news. It's very, very old news. The Electoral College could theoretically vote for someone else if they wanted too, but they can't really. The same way the Queen could start throwing her weight around, but not really.

So let's presume they actually did this, even though they won't? Then what? Clinton just becomes President and everything's swell? You think an isolated Riot in Oregon is something huge? You're heading into Civil war territory when you rob half the vote of their democracy. Do you remember why there's conflict in Syria? different circumstance but it still boils down to one side don't want their president and the other does.

Re: US Election 2016

Just been watching newsnight special "Trumps America" .

It was average they had two commentators, a female black author and a white male from the American spectator.

It was the usual stuff.

But towards the end the black female author inadvertently laid out what this was all about.

Talking about Trumps alleged racism, the male guest tried to make a comment on it. she then then said, quite seriously, as a white male man that he has no right to have an opinion on racism.....................

Ladies and gentleman, there is the reason why Trump won.


Watch it on IPlayer.

Re: US Election 2016

The Electoral College Vote system via the Electors who can vote 'rogue', is a weak argument and it shows how much the sore losers some of the Democrat supports are, by trying any which way they can, to try and remove the Presidency from Trump.

So as it stands, the Electors can vote on December 19th and could go faithless and vote for HC to be President and it hasn't happened 100's of times at all as per what the mirror says, it's exceedingly rare and they have never swung an Election. However, on Jan 6th. The Republican controlled congress meets to either approve or void the 'Faithless Electors' vote and keep the new Presidency to Trump.

I am aware there is a Petition on Change Org insisting the Electors go rogue but it is seriously clutching at straws.

Are you actually serious at this point? I'm actually astonished you've actually managed to post something as crap as that, also, what does it have to do with the US election?

You know she never actually wrote anything down, made completely vague random predictions that were almost guaranteed to happen. Example in question, Volcano's will erupt, coasts will be flooded etc in the next X amount of years, the conclusions, ''Miracle Woman predicted 2004 Tsunami, I mean come on...

Bold - You still don't fact check a damn thing then, apart from her vague and boring predictions that were borderline the same as any other, World War III never happened. There's actually no evidence she ever made any of these predictions, so yeah, saying they all came true when she never actually predicted a thing... awkward. They most likely originated from Social Media in Eastern Europe and were attributed to her name by trolls and facebook like button farmers. Anyone close to her also backed this up by saying she never said any of it. The newspaper is merely jumping on a sensationalist story.

What worries me most is you'd actually believe anything you read and not question it a single bit.

I personally think he should go back to worrying who gets voted off X-Factor this week, or whatever floats his boat.

Re: US Election 2016

I'm trying to work out why Arthur is getting so worked up about all this you'd think he's personally impacted by trump becoming president and his repeated mentions\calls for assassination show something very wrong. Trump will moderate once in position that's how it is I'm sure he'll go through with somethings and others will disappear as is the norm when people find that the position of president doesn't actually mean they can do as they want.

Obama was elected on a massive wave of hope for change and once elected he found out things are harder to do then to say trump will have the same sobering experience soon and although he could have an easier ride then obama given the republican hold it will restrain his more erratic and flamboyant ideas.

Re: US Election 2016

There are signs he's already moderating some of his more extreme views. He now incredibly likes bits of Obamacare, and is not answering questions on his promise to keep Muslims out (good news for the Mayor of London !). No mention of 'the wall' either. Abortion is going to be a big one - keeps changing his views on this, as with everything else. Think he might be more a problem for Republicans than Democrats. In some ways he might be more left wing than Clinton.

As for protests whats wrong with that? The vast majority is peaceful and cameras will only be showing any trouble. Most of the country didn't vote for him which hopefully he'll bear in mind.

Re: US Election 2016

You have a strange concept of "most" seeing as it was almost a tie in the popular vote.
