Why, if she's done nothing wrong?

Doesn't a lot of things point to that she has?
I am no Clinton expert by a long chalk, but there appears to be a lot of stuff about her out there that points to misdoing and dishonesty.
If she's done nothing wrong, yep, by all means let her run the country.
There does seem to a lot of dark cloud hanging over her, so I do wonder why she was selected in the first place.
For what it is worth, I used to like the woman.

Well no, she's been exhonerated on emails hasn't she.
Unless you're buying into the Trump rhetoric, of course...

Nope, not just talking about the emails. Been publicly condemned for falsely giving testimony. Then there is the Greek thing where her son in law benefitted.
I am totally and utterly opposed to Trump and if I had a swaying towards any party it would always be the Democrats.

It's all out there. I can't be arsed to write eleventy billion paragraphs on it.
There was a poll just two days ago in Washington and 83% said they believed Clinton had done something wrong and 51% believed she had behaved illegally.
I know she was exonerated, but the emails are missing. That means the evidence has been destroyed. That's not quite the same thing as she is innocent.
The FBI cannot act on evidence they cannot find.
And again, on the Trump thing, I hardly believe a single thing that comes out of his mouth.

Just shows there's loads of dodgy presidents and presidential candidates out there.
There's loads of stuff out there about Trump too. That's why you hear so many Americans saying they don't want to vote for either of them.

Anybody going to be staying up tonight to watch the coverage? I do like a bit of election coverage. Remember listening to R5 last time round and they played some of what was being broadcast on American talk radio. Unbelievable the BS they are allowed to broadcast over there.

I'll stay up for it - unless it gets too scary/depressing. I don't have a great track record with this kind of thing. Last time I voted for a candidate that won was 1992. Glad I don't have a vote in this one, or I'd jinx it.

Because ultimately all decisions fall to the senate. This whole "most powerful position in the world" is a load of cock. Obama's spent 8 years trying to get 'Obama-care' off the ground, but it has been batted away by those with pharmaceutical backing. He wanted to look at green energy, but the oil companies have lobbied the senate to such a degree that it will never happen. Lobbying is effectively bribery and should be banned in politics.

Does the current president have Pickfords in at the moment or has he departed already?
Hillary will win not through her quality but the lack of quality against her.

Going to try & stay awake until Florida & Ohio results are in. Not sure I'll make it though.

Last time it took a few days for Florida, in 2000 it was a month. I hope for your sake it's not that bad this time.

That's maybe the worst possible outcome if there's confusion about the result - real or faked. Plenty of precedents as you say.

It should be done before dawn providing it's not extremely close

I hope it's a clear victory either way, I can't imagine the state of things if it's on a knife edge. Could you see Trump conceding after winning the popular vote but not the electoral college like Gore did.

Doesn't bear thinking about. All that hanging chad malarkey is going to look civilised in comparison.

Don't think the new president takes the position until January.

Unless Trump doesn't concede.

Still beats the alternatives.

If he doesn't concede we should ask if he's interested in keeping goal for a division 3 soccer team.

There's a polling station under lockdown at the moment after reports of a shooting.
Trump has pretty much been telling his supporters to take a shot at Hillary if she wins.

i think that's as expected. Interesting that states aren't calling quickly though.

Looks like Donald is doing well not that either would get my vote.
Slightly prefer Trump as Clinton is left leaning.

Somethings I'm hearing from election night.
It was a movement.
People wanted change from the establishment.
The Democrats have moved away from their traditional voter and gone for the surburbion vote.
Whilst the politics is different in America from Britain, can anyone see the parallels of what's going on in the Labour Party?
