why do you think what was suppose to be a 15 min meeting lasted 90. he saw all that shyt and as obama kept trying to end the meeting he was like :whoa: "hold up, hold the fukk, let's go over this some more man. :lupe: you mean if i tear up the nuclear deal no other country will back sanctions against them and a US only sanction is toothless and makes us look like the pariah? but why? educate me on this shyt breh."
Breh I wish I could have been there when Obeezy laid it on him...when he really let him know why his hair went from black with gray to gray with black over the course of the past 8 years

The shyt that we don't know that Obama told him during those 90 minutes probably raised his blood pressure permanently.

"I've made a yuge mistake :merchant:"

You see it? I just want to know if others are seeing it the same way too? Maybe I am over analyzing the whole scenario.

He said him and Obama were only going to meet for 15 minutes to get to know each other and the meeting turned into an hour and a half. I wonder what was discussed. Trump, to me, looked legitimately shook. Obama had that resigned look like on his face like "okay, we let this clown into the secret club. Showed him proof that reptilians and extraterrestrial life exist. What's this guy going to do now"

The tea party is not what put him over the threshold.... it was rust belt DEMOCRATS who didn't want Hillary. Those are the people hungry for trade renegotiations and tighter immigration control for job security
Even that is wrong. the Republican base didn't expand to capture rust belt democrats. the republican popular vote hasnt grown since 2008

exactly their number has been roughly the same the past 3 presidential elections, actually slightly less this year. it's the democratic number that went from 65m in 2012 to slightly under 60m this year. the democrats need to win back those lost and discouraged voters who didn't want to fukk with them, but weren't gonna go to the other side either.

If I'm the dems, this election shows tremendous opportunity. You got 59m ppl to vote for you, despite running an incredibly hated candidate. That's your base. They're not going anywhere. So how do you bring in an additional 7 to 10m disgruntled Americans

Edit: and not disgruntled republicans! fukk them! Those ppl are lost causes.

Hillary left a lot of meat on the table. IIRC millennial turnout was down like 30-40%. That right there alone probably would have put her over, particularly if she focused in the battleground states.

DNC has to repair the damage done to the brand. High key I'm kind of thankful Wikileaks pulled that shyt, though they should have blown the lid off of everything on both sides. But now DNC has no choice but to reboot. They are still in denial now but I think they will eventually wake up and own it.

I don't think Trump realized what he was getting himself into until after he won. Did you see the press conference between him and Obama? He looked scared.
@3Rivers can we please get this :harshrealities: smilie. One head only and one with the body including the hands.

I've been trying to do research all week, but I've been so busy. My belief right now is that the idea that Hillary drove down Democrat turnout is false. I think the answer can be pointed straight to Obama. However I need to go back and look at the total midterm numbers for 2010 and 2014, and then analyze it by the states Hillary lost.
