I read where the Rep's had taken like 1,000 state and federal seats.

Hillary was close to being unelectable.

HRC was basically saying that she was wanting to go to war with Russia and have first strike capability against them. She also said that a cyber attack was reason enough for a military attack against Russia. And now we have learned that the CIA makes their own cyber attacks to look like Russia, China or whoever else. With all that they would have everything they need to put us in a war when ever they choose to (using false flags).  Based off of what HRC was saying publicly, I could see why Russia wouldn't have wanted her to win but I don't think they had any effect on the elections.

HRC would have a rally and nobody would show up. It's not the Russians fault that she is a %$#@ *&^%$.

The old school respectable liberals need to take their party back from these elitist a holes that took it over. Our country needs them to take it back. Both partys have their share of complete idiots and corrupt low lifes, no doubt. The nonsense that is flowing out of Washington and its media these days is like a bunch of lying children.

Tommy Boy makes more sense than they do.

Damn, how did he lose the popular vote by 3 million if she was that shitty? Pretty impressive.

For what it is worth, citing state races means very little when talking about overall political attitudes. It's like showing pictures where they color all of the republican counties and show that "more" of the country voted for Trump. Land mass doesn't equal people. There are more red states but they hold less people. 

Congress is a better figure to look at. You can argue gerrymandering warps the results, but just citing popular vote, Republicans won 1.5m more votes (49.1% vs 48%). giving them 55% of the available seats. So you can argue that more people prefer Hillary over Trump but more people prefer a Republican congress over a Democratic Congress. What does that mean? We're not all either elitist New York liberals or redneck Texas conservatives. We're mostly moderates stuck with more partisan people running for office.
