Hopefully, in 2024, well have a Democratic president, or if were really lucky and they have a fighting chance, a Libertarian or Independant candidate.

But I wont cry if this doesnt happen.

Were you surprised he won in 2016?

Prepare your anus for a decade or two of republican presidents.

Why?

I consider it completely unimportant who in the party will vote, or how; but what is extraordinarily important is this who will count the votes, and how.

Well, the US trends towards incumbency and lately the pendulum has swung every 8 years or so.

I was surprised. I hadn't even bothered watching the results that night because the media had presented it as a blowout for Hillary.

I was surprised. Wasnt expecting him to win.

But it makes sense now, given the inane hatred republicans had and still have for Obama and Hillary. Fuel to the fire and motivation to vote.

Doesn't matter because the presidency isn't decided by the popular vote. That's like saying that they lost the vote of everybody named Steve. More importantly, there's the context of "when" the popular vote was lost. GWB didn't get the popular vote in 2000, but he got it in 2004 when he ran for re-election -- which is a more significant note to this trend.

Do you believe that hatred is going to die off anytime soon?

I dont see trump winning again. Of course, I thought so in 2016, but I still stand by it.

He won the last election by a razor thin margin(100K votes in PA, WI, and MI). he basically needed a bunch of swing states and we won most of them by a hair.

Since his approval rating isnt so high, and a lot of people who voted for him now dislike him, I dont know where his votes are going to come from to repeat again. though i admit in 2 years something could happen that could make people like him. basically not counting that out.

Nope. Probably will only die when they do.

That's the thing. I think approval ratings are about as reliable as the media saying Hillary had a 98% chance or whatever it was

But thats a double edged sword there. If you cant trust online polls or news media, what can you trust? To what extent does the public go to to make sure the information theyre seeking is correct and honest? Surely, not from the original speaker like Trump, because we all know he has a large bias against all news media except from Fox News, who also has a large bias against liberals.

If you want an accurate, right down the middle reporting with no bias or agenda influencing the article or report, you might be out of luck because most everyone has a bias of some kind.

That's pretty much why I always just wait and see what happens without any expectations. I'll read the news and keep up with events and what not but when it comes to statistics like that involving politics, I dont put much stock in it
