USA Election

Random, that's the sort of stuff that some write on here about football. I can only assume he is drinking tonight

So the American electoral system is pretty weird. This guy makes awesome YouTube videos (seriously, follow him) and he made this one years ago on the American Primaries.

Here is his other video on what will happen in the Hillary v Trump race for President.

The worst combeover in history could be President? 

Imagine him and that idiot from North Korea playing "War Games" but with real nukes - Could easily happen and this scares the crap out of me.

Was talking to this American guy, a Trump supporter, in our alliance on my mobile game. He was moaning about his neighbor who he called "Obama" and his neighbors hatred of guns.


I asked him why he supported gun use. He went on about the 2nd amendment and how free access to guns "will make America great again".

I said "how can America be great again if you're all too busy shooting each other?"

"Lets not talk about politics" was his reply

and that madness has begun. 

I may be corrected and am happily to be told so but haven't there been approximately 10,128 related deaths from gun fire in the USA thus far this year.

Isn't better to get on with living rather than concentrate on killing or dying?

Lol Robert De Niro wants to smash Trumps face in

Tomorrow our time will be a telling day. Momentous. Quite possibly historic too. 

In for the twitter meltdowns and fox news stupidity.

John Oliver will have a field day if Trump wins.

A lady I work with lives in Ilinois, she's worried, everywhere she looks people have trump banners, flags on their cars, tshirts, etc.

I'm not worried, Trump won't win. I'm just interested in the meltdown he and his supporters have afterwards.

Good to follow on this website too http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-election-...

He might win, the problem is the US election system is very flawed which means a couple of states have all the power. Bush won despite not winning the popular vote in his first term.

I suggested to my work colleague that if Hillary wins it might be a good idea to keep a low profile as democrat supporters and she said that she has no signage this year because she's worried about reprisals. So, the reason Trump signage is everywhere and Hillary signage is not to be seen might be because the Democrat supporters are scared of the more "bat shark crazy" parts of the Trump supporter group.

The aftermath could be significant. The left and the right are so far apart and have so much hate and disdain for each other that there are bound to be flashpoints all over the place and I don't think I'm over reacting to say that there will be a significant rise in domestic terrorism and/or rioting. 

Sure its a weird system to us and you are right, but it does need a couple of states and he isn't leading the ones he needs in the polls.

I'm not so sure. He has played the celebrity so well. When I was over there for a month all I saw on TV was Trump. I very rarely saw Hillary, I think it was only for the debates that I ever saw her on TV or coverage. 

Screen time = votes. Plus all the banners everywhere were Trump, for reasons given above. 

I've heard one of the reason for more Trump than Hillary signs is more that people didn't want to say they were voting for because Trump supporters were so nuts. Polling however shows she is more likely and Trump needs to win more swing states to get him over due to way the Electoral College works.

With Trump maybe taking Florida and Ohio... Well, I'm not so confident now as I was before on the Hillary win

How close is it now? Another forum i'm on seem to think it's all heading Trump's way (they could be talking total bollocks for all i know though).

Its close, Trump taking Florida and Ohio doesn't mean it is over but means it will go down to the wire. If Hillary was to take Florida it would have been over.

Geez this is tight, Ive never been this interested in US election day.

I don't know about that, more people can talk about US one. Most in NZ don't like to talk about who they voted for and who they are happy with leading in the election so they can stay out of political arguments with fellow NZers.

Fair enough too, most powerful nation on earth. Affects us all.

This is getting scary now...very scary. 

He's going to win, isn't he? Fudge me.......I heard middle America couldn't stand Hillary, but this is still a bit of a shock.

I guess that's what happens when you have two awful options.

not looking good - start stockpiling food

I think you about to see Mexicans cross the boarder.... the other way.

Jesus Christ, I could be proved right?!?!?!

Watch as all the stock and currency markets are crashing... lol

DOW futures are down more than they were after september 11.

Knee jerks. Same thing happened in Brexit. Stock market fell and  within a week it was higher.

Should be more worried about Putin and Kim Jong-un.

It's almost a fact that Trump has won. Just like brexit, is kind of surpising

@Yakcall, I hope you don't have that same level of confidence in the nix this weekend.

If you have got spare cash buy all the blue chip stocks you can especially American ones. A knee jerk reaction of the markets and all ground lost will be regained within 2 months.

My bitcoins are all up $40 USD today alone, Gold has also gone up.

What scares me for America is Trump is president, republican control the house and senate. Soon will also control the Supreme Court. Feels like you will see rights for women (abortion) and LGBTQ go backwards in the states.

I said six months ago people here have no idea how disliked the Clintons are in middle America. Perhaps they are beginning to figure that out.
