Do you know why Clinton didn't give a concession speech last night?

She didn't have one.

asujbl · 11-09-2016, 11:40 AM

Are we just going to continue to ignore the most important thing? Those Wu Tang clips were straight fire.

CBS News said it was because she was tired and wanted to get her emotions in check and the speech she had prepared didn't put it into perspective.....they sucked up to her so bad

Think of it as a popular vote but just at a state level and it makes sense to have a process like it.

Can someone explain to me why we have the electoral college and why that is the end all be all to be elected. I see Clinton has the popular vote, so why wouldn't that trump (no pun intended) the electoral college and make her the winner of the election?

If the popular vote means nothing, then why even have it or even report it in the end?

Seattle and Portland? Not surprised there. Liberal heaven.

Kiss the Clinton Foundation goodbye. Access is gone, who's gonna give her any money?

NeedChapmans · 11-09-2016, 11:47 AM

I feel like I'm watching her one and only SOTU.

Well, I guess we'll see how President Pence does. I doubt Trump makes it to July 4th of next year before he's impeached.

Anderdale · 11-09-2016, 11:52 AM

Shout out to the little girls from Hillary! good thing they weren't aborted.

Well that's applicable regardless of the election outcome and it could have been Hilary there and the same would apply.

Ummmmmmm you think a Republican run Congress will Impeach Trump you must think Hillary still gonna win cause there is equal chance.

Anderdale · 11-09-2016, 11:54 AM

Woohoo and now a scripture reference !!! Man she should have given this speech on Monday and would have won

No she should've spent the last week being Presidential like Trump instead of just slinging hate at whatever wall she thought it would stick to. I firmly believe that final week turned a lot of Women and Blacks off and made them decide to stay home.

trixstar · 11-09-2016, 11:56 AM

Well at least she nailed the concession speech.

avjp87 · 11-09-2016, 11:59 AM

i'm just laughing at all the pictures of people crying as the results came in.

Can I get 1 of each??? I'd love to get them signed and then framed together. Then again, the world will be a craphole, so I probably won't have anywhere to hang it...

My problem with the Electoral College is the winner take all part.
The votes should be split percentage wise with the popular vote.
Just my opinion.
