    You're missing the point. Trump thrives on television, Clinton does not. And what exactly was biased against Trump? He lied 75% of the time, reporting those lies is not biased. And what is corrupt about Clinton other than you hearing Trump call her "Crooked Hillary" 10,000 times on TV? Trump, who uses charity funds for his own personal use, calling someone else crooked is beyond hilarious.

    If a certain people get to decide the votes cause they live in a highly populated area thats not really a fair represenatation of democracy imo. It does work in Sweden as Eldalllan pointed out but as a country like USA its not so sucessfull for popular vote only. Some people get screwed over just cause they live in low pop area.

    I can't get past the nonsense of this being rural vs urban issue when everyone knows it was mostly about race.

    Jobs? Factories/farms/mines, etc will continue to be automated, those jobs are never coming back.

    Immigration? There will be no wall, and everyone knows it. Also affected are the millions of foreign students who will decide to study elsewhere. We just lost countless doctors, engineers, and scientists because a racist clown was voted in as President.

    Healthcare? Yes, let's just rip health insurance from 20 million Americans with no substitute ideas, brilliant. There will be no effort to correct the flaws and reduce costs, cuz we can't have a healthcare system named after a black guy obviously. So we'll just repeal!

    Economy? Trump filed bankruptcy four times, lol. He can't run a business, let alone a country.

    Media had countless opportunities to say, "this man is nothing but a con artist and a liar", but because the media is a con itself it could never articulate that message. The best they can do is Pussygate.

    Neoliberalism just ate itself.

    Knowing what the Clintons represent and what they'd likely do with the presidency, I can't say we miss out on much good. The only thing they had to motivate me to vote for them is that Republicans are even worse, and a Trump reich will run this country into the ground 100%. What's sicker is that, in a couple of decades, Republicans will proudly call themselves the Party of Trump, just like with that senile sack of **** Reagan.

    The system in this country and the nature of politics rewards politicians for ****ting on the people. It worked that way for Obama, who was nothing but a poverty pimp and pushed a privatized health care boondoggle that is running into the ground. ****, they still have a favorable view of the man. If Obama actually delivered socialized health care, do you think people would appreciate it? It's better for Democrats to keep conditions miserable enough that people fear Republicans, rather than build systems that Republicans can't tear down without an uproar.

    It was discussed in the media plenty, just not on red-run Fox News, which is where the uninformed masses get their one-sided information. The "biased" other news outlets aren't biased at all, they just report facts that people don't want to know. Ignorance is bliss.

    You do realize that CNN was proven to be conspiring to help get Hillary Clinton elected right? That they even helped her beat Bernie Sanders by giving her debate questions, not covering anything negative about her and being extremely biased against her opponents Bernie or Trump.

    False. The DNC interim chair leaked the debate question. I'm sure Fox News reported it differently.

    She worked for CNN at the time, hence how she got the questions.

    from Skank: funny stuff grrrl,
    The real Billionaires of Washington D.C. aka Trump This!
    Its a downgrade for Trump from Penthouse to Whitehouse.
    Only time in US history a Billionaire family has moved into Public housing while moving a black family out.

    Negros and Mexicans did not vote. Caucasians voted in RECORD numbers.
    Each year is record year because of population growth, DUH!

    Republicans will control the Presidency, Senate, and House.
    Trump will nominate the next 3 supreme court justice.
    Obama care is history in 2018
    The world is doomed. It was just handed over to big business.

    Lets see the worthless obfuscating Republicans put up or shut up and abolish abortion like their platform states.

    Most of what CNN, MSNBC said were just retreads of Hillary's anti-Trump talking points, rather than explicit explanations of "this is why Trump is wrong" or "this is why Trump is lying his pants off", or even "this is why Trump is part of the establishment, despite his claims to the contrary." Such criticism would require the establishment media to acknowledge their own part in the game. This is why, instead of actually talking about wikileaks, CNN tried to tell people that it's illegal to read them, and started beating the war drums about Russia. **** like that is what inspires people to ask themselves, "why the hell am I voting for this woman?" - and if they're working a job on election day (an increasingly precarious job), they're going to have problems reaching the polls and decide to bag it rather than wait hours to vote for someone they don't like or want.

    It happened with the presidential debates too - Hillary made a choice not to run on substance but style, and she doesn't have style. It worked for Obama, her team must have thought, not remembering that Obama had far inferior opponents and there was no way in Hell a Republican could win '08. That she had more substance didn't show, when she gets sidetracked and goes off on another Russia conspiracy theory.

    Trump got a crazy amount of free air time. Every time he said something crazy - which was basically every other day for the last 17 months - it got played endlessly on all the mainstream media outlets. Yes, the editorials were all critical, but it gave Trump the air time to get his message out that normally you need to pay a lot of money for.

    People claim Trump is reckless but Hillary Clinton throws out reckless claims about Russia. They had absolutely no evidence Russian government was involved but yet spread propaganda that could have led to war all in the quest for more power. You really want a president like that? Anyone following the wikileaks knows someone leaked them from inside the DNC.
