(2,145 posts)Whether Trump or Dino Clinton, we will continue a republican Presidency. Yes, Obama was republican -lite. They were just too racist to see it. And the people of this country want a progressive but they don't know what a real progressive looks like. I guess they think it's Clinton.

(9,527 posts)It's just a concept tossed out by people who either don't have an objective understanding of how infrequently elected officials vote across party lines these days (the parties are further apart than since Reconstruction), or are trying to say anybody who is less "pure" on either end of the spectrum is just like the other party as a way to disparage their opponents.
Neither is accurate. If Clinton is all but a Republican, why did she vote the same as Sanders 93% of the time in the Senate? Why was she rated the 11th most liberal Senator during her time in the Senate by DW-Nominate score? Facts are stubborn and objective things. Name calling isn't.

(9,314 posts)He said Dems would be voting for Kasich to try to stop Trump. He got a tip from someone who works at Fox News. I said Hillary Dems or Bernie Dems, but he didn't know the answer. I assumed it would be Hillary Dems because I didn't think Bernie Dems would risk that. But I wasn't even thinking about the Independents and I should have been. However, it is still remarkable that they called it at 2 percent when they openly said areas with colleges had not weighed in yet. And there was also a comment that 4 polling sites would be open late by court order....

(36,437 posts)I still think Clinton needs 57% in Cook County to offset the state.
I don't see her making it. It will be a squeaker.

(11,605 posts)So we don't know who won. Hillary is leading but early returns are often not representative.
