..They are better at governance than anybody else, especially minorities.
Slowly but surly the tides are turning.

Rubio would have been exposed as being lazy and not very smart. it would not have gotten to the level of ugly we see now. it might have been closer . but i think he is mostly a weak candidate . Kasich would have been the real threat and i hate to admit this but maybe Cruz also.

the Obama campaigns would have been much uglier if the nominee was someone like gingrich .

But, fitting too.. that the first woman to be nominated by one of the major parties has to take down a misogynist, sexual predator, a racist, and a sociopathic liar.

The repub party candidates couldn't beat him but Hillary will! And, us!

Because the predominantly male base is going to be claiming Hillary castrated them.

Donald Trump losing to Hillary Clinton is a positive thing. And also, Donald Trump contributed to this historic election by being the buffoon he is.

history will not look kindly on Trump and Trump supporters. Just as birthers are a laughing stock today.

... but I cannot. For they are a bizarre mixture of, horrror, joy, sadness, humour, obsessive interest, schadenfreude, fear, relief... the list goes on. And it's not over yet. Even with the almost certainly of Clinton winning, it's pretty clear that Trump will not go quietly, neither will his hard-core base.

As a Canadian, it may look very easy from my city in Victoria BC... (a city that is so close to the US. For the beautiful, serene lovely Olympic Mountains in WA, tower over our city only 20 miles or so across the strait) ... to observe from a distance. But it's not.

I can't speak for all Canadians, but I can for many. In Canada (as with most other countries in the World), we have watched the rise of Trump with alarm. For we, along with the rest of the word are only too aware that a Donald Trump-like figure in the White House, having access to the nuclear codes, could effectively wipe out all or much of the life on our planet.

For Trump is not merely an American concern, he is a threat to the entire World.

I joined DU around 2004 (I think), but never thought I'd ever make a post like this. Ever.

To all of you. We have your back. And please believe me when I say that I (personally) know of no Canadians who support Trump. The general feeling is that he is insane (and I mean that literally).

- best wishes from Canada/Puzzler

I love hearing the views of our friends & neighbors.

Your bizarre mixture of feelings echos mine! It is so nice to have the support and good wishes of our neighbors.

I don't care any more.

I had President Obama's back.

I'll have Clinton's back.
