  Election Post-Mortem

  by Simon in

  i'm sure many people, republicans included, are shocked at the results of the 2016 presidential election.

  really, wtf!.

  the polls were wrong and although it's tempting to blame voter suppression and fbi interference, that would just avoid looking at the real issues for the loss.

  I am anticipating officially designated "pussy grabbing" cars in the NYC subway. I hope I am wrong, but it appears to be open season on bad behavior.

  The anger is a part of the lives of people in mid-America. While Hillary was not personally responsible for that anger, she could never get beyond it. And the African Americans, which appear to have the most to lose with a Trump president, failed her.

  Great Tribulation and Trump

  please, let's discuss this subject without attacking one another.. it appears that trump has won a victory that no one expected.

  is it possible that trump may play a part in the great tribulation?.

  there are some who believe trump is one of the most unqualified of men to ever be elected president of the united states.

  No matter what happens in the Trump presidency - the results have nothing (I mean NOTHING) with bible prophesy.

  I watched the demonstration of the parents rejecting their son. How very sad. To ask people to extract children out of their lives based upon a belief system is criminal.

  I am not sure why NYC does not call this early voting. The website identifies absentee balloting as an option. Once I arrive, I realized that you could actually cast an early vote at the site.

  It would be nice if they called it early voting, as opposed to absentee voting. I was certainly confused.

  smiddy, If you can vote twice I am not sure how. They tracked my early vote and am sure that any additional votes will be flagged.

  This crafty, young, and beautiful Trump supporter attempted to vote twice. It did not work for her:

  I mentioned the African american vote because this is a current topic:

  http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/02/us/politics/black-turnout-falls-in-early-voting-boding-ill-for-hillary-clinton.html

  The concern from the Hilary camp is that the Black vote is not stepping up. My comment was simply to show that the Black vote is there. I can only assume that these individuals were not voting for Trump.

  A phrase attributed to three different Chicagoans: "vote early and often" seem applicable here.

  Generation of 1914 enjoys another Cubs World Series win!

  for the first time in 108 years, the chicago cubs won the mlb 2016 world series, which is not news to too many of us.

  but the volunteers at warwick bethel have an interesting opportunity today.

  they can congratulate tony morris on seeing another chicago cub win.

  Thank you for drawing this parallel. You example shows how close we are to the day of judgement. It all happens within one (or two or three or four overlapping) generation.

  I recall the first time I voted after leaving the cult. I was surprised by how anticlimactic the process was. I made a rational choice completed the form and returned it to the nice lady and life went on. No demons, no drugs, no illicit sex, just a basic civic duty.
