Raja Nose gaaru, I also voted for Trump despite knowing it amounted to diddly squat in the People's Republic of California. More like a ABH (anybody but Hillary) vote. I'm so far stunned by the libtards' vituperative and rants on NPR and other places. Very Happy that the snakes will be somewhat defamed (hope).

Ramanaji, the strategy for Gore was not bad. He was just too smug about the NE states. A simple victory in NH would have changed his fortunes. It was a matter of hardly 8,000 votes. The Indian community in Nashua alone would have changed that situation.

Was rooting for DT. I've been having n US for more than years with no green card in sight. Refuse support a party that would grant GCs to illegals before legals get it.

And gives advice to the young people who put their trust in Democrat campaign.

In the October 31st to Nov 5 period Hillary went down from a very comfortable 7+% lead to a precarious 2.7% and could bounce back only to about 3.9% in the remaining 2 days because there was not enough time. This drop cost her the close races in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, (and Michigan), supposedly her "fireball" states she was so sure to win that did not pay enough attention and reacted too late.


Turns out the national polls were not too off the mark, by the time all votes are counted Hillary should still win the popular vote by over a million or so, a repeat of 2000 when Gore won the popular vote, but election was stolen by SC Rehnquist and the gang, Comey is the culprit this time.

The real culrpit which killary supporters inlcuding media are hiding is the obama care.
The next year stuff came to many americans on nov 1 onwards .
There has been upto 25% increase in premiums.
many americans are grumbling --> it hits right into the pockets of every american. This is very basic health issue.

Americnas dont care about comey or his antics if their stomach is hit badly.

No wonder trumpazee was onto obamacare which resonated across many states in middle america.

comey antics are so so . no ned to give too much importance. it is only to unbalance killary campaign.

I don't know how to broach this subject, but the real game-changer would be to improve engagement with the Zee administration by Yindoo jingos. This is a totally unprecedented opportunity. Issues ranging from immigration, business, technology, energy, terror, consistency in foreign policy. For instance, I wonder how many in the Transition Team have a clue that a Foreign Policy Manifesto that presumes to advise, say, India on Religious Freedom, or Russia on how their President and Intelligence Service should behave - is likely to needlessly irritate people. Especially coming from a gang that declared that it is willing to ban ppl of One Community entirely from the USA, and a build a Wall. Also from anyone who calls KSA and TSP Al-Lies. Prioritizing fast-track Green Cards for, say, STEM PhDs would probably help the USA far more than it would hurt anyone. Fast-track Green Cards for business creators is probably a good idea. Majority concerns about subversive minorities. And cross-border criminal infiltration. The plain unavoidable fact that there ***IS*** today a clear pattern in certain particular subsects of certain communities of Violent Medieval Religious Insanity over national or human civilization, are common to both the USA and India. But that needs to be refined in nuance, very carefully, to survive the tsunami of assaults from the MSM - many of which stem from genuine concern about Constitutional fundamental rights. I think Arvind Kumar's PA event was a historic one. Note that DT won PA unexpectedly. OK, time to duck for cover.

Krishna, Also co pay went from $300 to $3000 in some cases. Tuesday NPR discussion was on that.

Obama Care (OC) avg increase was 25% in some states it was 33%.

Essentially they did a low price to get all the people to sign up and then raised the premiums claiming that the young did not sign up.
Young don't have jobs to pay for it. How will they pay? And send threatening letters for sign up with unyielding bureaucrats.

One hakim was saying about 50 to 60 million subscribers in Obama Care and its quite large by European standards and would drive medical care standards in a Gresham's Law perverse way.

Agree. We have first mover advantage here. Hopefully Shalabh Kumar who organized the Trump rally in NJ is aware of these issues and has Trump's ear. Anyone know what this gent is like? He is close to Newt Gingrich as well.

Betrayal of hillary by deep state is complete. Wall street did not crash and upticked slightly.

Perhaps two factions the anglo zionist nyc group and the southern midwest resources play group had a fallout and the second group got players in pentagon fbi and wall Street onto their project as well

Where is the 93% desi voters democrat coming from?

I am not eligible to vote, but 4 family members in a very blue east coast state voted for DT knowing full well the futility of voting red in a blue state; as did many other BR forumites.

That percentage of DT voters surely has to be more than 50% going by geopolitical awareness of the modibhakts on east coast.

I don't see how Comey is on the right side of anyone. The Trump sites said FreeBiscuit rank and file were ready to revolt, so Comey was doing the absolute minimum to placate them. He had no intention of filing charges - his bosses the Justice Dept had already nixed that. What he said was "no REASONABLE prosecutor would file charges". As in "One Who Wants to Keep Being a Prosecutor Under Obama". Now he cannot U-turn again, so he must leave b4 they can proceed.

Atleast India was better in this regard.

Despite the severe ( and almost mind-numbing) hatred which certain folks and communities had for Modi, everyone shut their holes and slinked away into their corners once the mandate was known. No display of such "liberal tolerance" like in the great Amrika.

Statement of Michel Moore about what will happen on the election day.

"Whether Trump means it or not (his threat to corporate America for outsourcing jobs and promises to bring it back) is kind of irrelevant because he's saying the things to people who are hurting. And it's why every beaten-down, nameless, forgotten working stiff who used to be part of what was called the middle class loves Trump. He is the human Molotov cocktail that they've been waiting for. The human hand grenade that they can legally throw into the system that stole their lives from them. And on November 8th, Election Day - although they've lost their jobs, although they've been foreclosed on by the bank, next came the divorce and now the wife and kids are gone, the car has been repo'd, they haven't had a real vacation in years, they're stuck with the s***** Obamacare Bronze plan where you can't even get a f****** Percocet - they've essentially lost everything they had. Except one thing. The one thing that doesn't cost them a cent and is guaranteed to them by the American Constitution: the right to vote. They might be penniless. They might be homeless. They might be f***** over and f***** up. It doesn't matter. Because it's equalized on that day. A millionaire has the same number of votes as the person without a job - one. And there's more of a former middle class than there are in the millionaire class.
So on November 8th, the dispossessed will walk into the voting booth, be handed a ballot, close the curtain and take that lever, or felt pen, or touch screen and put a big f****** X in the box by the name of the man who has threatened to upend and overturn the very system that has ruined their lives. Donald J Trump. They see that the elites, who ruined their lives, hate Trump. Corporate America hates Trump. Wall Street hates Trump. The career politicians hate Trump. The media hate Trump - after they loved him and created him and now hate him. Thank you, media. The enemy of my enemy is who I'm voting for on November 8th.
Yes, on November 8th, you, Joe Blow, Steve Blow, Bob Blow, Bill Blow, Billy Bob Blow, all the Blows - get to go and blow up the whole God damn system because it's your right. Trump's election is going to be the biggest f*** you ever recorded in human history. And it will feel good (for them)."

Rudy seems to be a hot fav for sec. of def. He should remember the paki mofo who "masterminded" the 9/11 and the paki idiot who left his car with smoke and wires sticking out in the middle of a busy junction in manhatten then got caught on the airplane trying to flee. With Christie and his hindu vote bank one thing is for sure. Pakis can kiss their aid and f-16s goodbye. We should monitor Obama that he doesn't give away freebies under paki blackmail in the next two months.

One can imagine Trumps expression when he gets the first bill from jernails for Coagulation Support Fund.

The jernails will want the funds coming, they will offer to "re-open" the air base for drone operations, they will offer to hand over Chinese secrets to the CIA etc etc. I hope Trump won't be fooled by paki double deals.

All modi has to do is to keep raising the temperature on Bakis until they go more irrational and threaten to donate the bum to the beards. Then it becomes everyone's game.

Rigging election machines:

Election machines can not be rigged en masse. Rigging has to be done in certain strategic swing booths, and then hope for best results. But when there is a wave, then concept of swing booths do not exist. You pick up EVM after EVM it will give same result thus decimating & overwhelming the rigged EVMs strategically placed.

In reality, if the elections are really close, then these swing constituencies in swing states matter a lot. Not when one is seeing a landslide verdict dished out. So we have no way of knowing whether reason behind Hillary getting as many votes as she has now was result of rigging. And Trump won inspite of rigging.

Like what happened in GE2014 in UP, they counted polling booth after polling booth, it was only Lotus. You do know how RG won his Amethi election.

U have to do ur homework BEFORE you vote, if u want to be "In Tune With the HeartBeat of America" and strut around feeling so. My 6th coujin thrice removed did. EV'ed DT and the local KKK/Hitler Jugend candidates 2 weeks b4 the election. All won. Q.E.D.
Only remaining issue is whether all the taxes that he voted down, crashed. TSPLOST, PSPLORET, all scams.

But hey! It was great fun reading all the long rants of the HiCFans. Sorree onlee, I really feel 4 u (4 a microsecond b4 I go back to :rotfl: ) You choose a biss-boor candidate. In the end it was sheer "By The Grace of ATM" that DT won despite being 0.2% behind in the total popular vote.

Satyam Eva Jayate. Not that the Hitler Jugend would recognize Satyam, but the hyena HiC thoroughly deserved that LossDespite0.2%Win result, after what she did to poor Bernie Sanders. Now she has all the rest of her life to relive every moment of that. So close, yet sooooooo far. She should have been more honest during the Debates.
You are right. Thank GOD that Trump is such a clumsy clown. A half way smart guy who knew how to hold his tongue and be a little more polished and we would have seen a crowd of elephants like in the Mysore Dusshera or Trishoor Pooram rampaging wild in the Senate and the House, running amuck . Those wing nuts would have been absolutely bonkers if they had the strength to convene another constitutional assembly.

Trump could have gone into great detail and depth of Hillary's malfeasance, her celebrations after Gaddafi's murder.

but Trump didn't do any of that sort. A siimpler soul would have definitely picked up these points and highlighted them. What this tells me is even in jaw-jaw Trump is playing it safe from annoying people who really matter in USA.

So that is definitely not clumsy. And he is not clowning around, he is using his limited talking points in a free way which seems clumsy, but he is a practiced artiste who will not trip when delivering those lines like mere mortals often do.

Obamacare had become a headache for hospitals too. Most hospitals had very little success in extracting the money from individuals when the insurance paid partial amount. Lets face it, Obamacare is predominantly used by folks who have very little earnings and in order to keep premiums low, they had enormous deductibles.

No on DC thought, how will folks who are struggling to pay premiums would pay deductibles. It was left upon Hospitals and Clinics to collect the money from the patients, once Insurance had paid their part.

Added: Ramana makes a similar point.

I sure hope so as well as we saw from W , the damage potential the prez wields.

He is not beholden to anybody except his core group that were loyal to him when all else balked or deserted. Remains to be seen how policy is influenced by that group.

Real positive change is tremendously slow and painstakingly hard work with laser focus etc - we see that in Modi and how much thought and work he puts in to drive change from top down.

Negative change can come so fast and so quick...ducking for cover won't be enough..

the tale of 2 polls.

Alex Jones went as far as saying even after they biased the polls by > -10% Trump was eventually winning by < 10% even then.

this gives me the feeling, the pollsters make 2 polls from same sample. One they oversample and make the polls public.

the other poll, which is far more indicative is not based on oversampling but the result of that poll are kept private or send to dems themselves for internal circulation.
