The Klartext Landfill for Absurd, Ignorant, and Deplorable Posts VI

Donald Trump (R-NY) / Michael Pence (R-IN) - 300 EVs, (47.1%)
Hillary Clinton (D-NY) / Tim Kaine (D-VA) - 238 EVs, (48.4%)
Gary Johnson (L-NM) / William Weld (L-MA) - 0 EVs, (4%)
Evan McMullin (I-UT) / Mindy Finn (I-TX) - 0 EVs, (1.1%)
Jill Stein (G-MA) / Ajamu Baraka (G-IL) - 0 EVs, (0.3%)

My gut says Trump will now win. I think MN, NH, & PA are a bit bold. and could easily go for Clinton.

But let me explain:

MN- Dissatisfied with Obamacare, Midwestern, progressive (They won't fall for Hillary), and White.
PA- Turnout will be high in the Pittsburgh metropolitan area and Central PA, while Trump will win a few counties (Bucks, Lehigh, & Luzerne) in the East. Turnout will be lower in Philadelphia and among AAs overall. This should be enough for Trump to flip the state.
NH- White, Hillary's primary loss, and just my own intuition. I'll probably be wrong on this one though.

Utah will be close and I think Trump will narrowly win the state against McMullin & Clinton splitting the vote enough.

We need to offer Spark an apology for putting this in here

That map is just a generic Trump victory map; it doesn't have much similarity to what actually happened.

Considering all three of the Upper Midwestern states were wrong, and considering two of them were deciding states, I don't think so.

Meanwhile predictions of Arizona, Nor Car, and Georgia flipping and Utah voting for an independent were taken more seriously, including by me. The only real error on the map above is the idea that MN would vote to the right of WI and/or MI.

It would make sense if Trump wasn't such a terrible fit for Minnesota.

In answer to 'when America stopped being great':

2013 when the top marginal rates went up and along with the Obamacare taxes.  My plan based these tax rates is to go into semi-retirement in end of 2018 and go into perm retirement around 2022.  The election of Trump was a surprise for me.  If Trump manages to reduce the top marginal tax rates and get rid of the Obamacare taxes I will most likely delay my retirement plans by 3-5 years at least.   I am hopeful this will take place but not betting on it.  Will wait and see.

His other answer in the same thread--revolving around how America is becoming less Eurocentric, and how that means that 'even as an extreme atheist' (his words) he's upset by ~the War on Christmas~--is bad as well but at least it didn't literally say that the country is only great to the extent that its tax code benefits him personally. What in the world is wrong with jaichind?

Torture is unethical and a human rights violation. It's also ineffective and doesn't work. The only reason to support torture is that it makes you feel manly and badass.

Can Trump please find different ways to deal with his masculine insecurities? I mean, there shouldn't be shortage of psychotherapists in NYC, for Christ's sake.

You cant prove it doesnt work. Anyways, waterboarding is not torture.  Im not sure what Pompeo has in mind, but im sure its fine.

Alcon is one of our best posters, but this is one of the most nonsensical posts I've read here in a long time

Lots of very very smart people are agreeing with Alcon.  Great honor!

Many people posted negative opinions of Trump in that thread. There is a reason why I singled out that post.

Is it because Trump is pandering to people who aren't, technically, part of the alt-right? I'll concede that point, but pandering to unreconstructed neocons and senescent kleptocratic industrialists isn't really that much better.

"Pro-business" means you want government to put its finger on the scale. That is neither conservative nor consistent with true free market individualism.

No it means you are promoting innovation , job creation , and a better economy in general.

Small Business is responsible for nearly all economic growth in this country not the government . The only way that is possible is to deregulate and reduce taxes for small business which by the way is a pro business policy. But im sure you wont understand that knowing you think Carter was a better president then Reagan

This is what I am talking about when I claim that conservatism is basically a feeling, not an ideology.

A trump supporter criticizing ideological incoherence and stances determined by gut feeling. The total lack of self awareness is breathtaking.

Agreed.  The only thing that's bad about it is that Trump panders to more than the alt-right.

The post is good, the overwhelming hypocrisy doesn't at all invalidate that.
