i'd say it was mostly a fund raiser, look at cases like Beto getting free cash to run in Texas.

HRC lost public trust and an election from Benghazi, Trump lost a few throwaways and a fixer.


HRC will probably he a happy old person though, and will probably have a few genuine friends. So she will probably win there.

HRC is locked in a house with Bill, one daughter and a few grand kids, her ankles are swollen like she's trying experimental bee sting therapy to help her walk down stairs safely. Trump has a pack of kids with kids, Tom Brady and Tiger Woods over for a catch and a round at his course, and a new super model wife every 10 years from now until Viagra stops taking.

dudes a piece of shit but lets be honest, winning in 2016 will give him a lifetime high, and HRC a lifetime bummer.

Trump watching fox and friends while taking a morning shit and looking at Ivanka's Instagram probably makes him happier than any of us will ever be in our lives

how similar do 2 things need to be to make a little funny saying?

how butthurt does someone need to be to latch onto a single statement this hard?

the fact that you're now at the place where you're saying 2 high profile federal investigations by FBI directors that both found illegal evidence but refused to indict based on procedural rules aren't similar enough to make a funny little comparison is priceless. and all because I corrected your English for just repeating a phrase you aren't in reality expected to know is incorrect. it was meant as a small jab but you got knocked silly and haven't stopped walking into punches since. 2 FBI directors don't indict for rules on high profile govt officials in the executive branch, but how dare you put them into one little comparison. HOW DARE YOU.


and again, your pettiness prevents you from acknowledging your fail and putting this to rest, i guess (and hope) this isn't your ignorance anymore, but rather ego protection. pathetic either way, especially considering the inb4'd pivots...
again, you're dead wrong - 'not comparable' is a perfectly valid way of expressing 'not similar', and nothing you can say will change that. facts don't care about your feelings, creek boy...

that said, hillary did NOT have the protection that was the ONLY reason trump wasn't indicted - that infamous OLC guideline, just to point out one of the many obvious flaws in your silly little false equivalence...

Naw, he is full of fear and anxiety which is why he cannot stand to not respond to any perceived threat on his narcissistic supply.

People as erratic as him have a hard time enjoying extended periods of happiness. I'm sure he is very charming and can groom people very well to get what he wants inter-personally as well.

Yes he has happy moments, but it is probably when he is hurting people or seeing people he wants to suffer suffer.

Like my man Kierkegaard says, there comes a midnight hour where every man must take off the mask, and the mask is off when he thinks about all respectable and honorable men avoiding him and insulting his quality after working with him.

And he knows deep down his daughter is never going to give it up to him.

I think this still sums up the 2016 election best lol




Everyone was so sure she was going to win it. I remember some polls like the HuffPo had her at a 98.4% of winning or some shit. Hell even I thought she'd win. Just goes to show, don't listen to polls or journalistic opinion piece bullshit. When it matters most, the REAL voters show up at the booths. Not REEEEE'ing journalists or youtube commentators.

thing is, while the sports team mentality and 2 party bullshit is certainly contributing to the problem, the main reason for close elections is not equal support for both 'teams', but a completely rigged electoral system that currently massively favours one party to keep them competitive - against the will of a pretty significant majority. 50-50 is a myth, the electoral college makes it close to that, but it's not really what the american people want...


the electoral college and the senate are not rigged systems, they're what was necessary for smaller, more rural states to join the union in the first place. without the electoral college and the senate, there would be no United States of America.

basically, the US political system is deliberately designed to reward both "strength in numbers" AND geographic diversity. if a party decides to voluntarily give up on one of the two despite knowing the electoral system, they dont need to complain about getting bitten in the ass.
the one area where there really is rigging going on is gerrymandering in the House, but since the Dems control the House anyway, gerrymandering at the moment doesnt affect the balance of power in the country too much.

moreover, let's not forget that the popular vote shares from a race which was not fought for maximing the popular vote, do not need to be the same as the popular vote tally we would get if both sides actually campaigned for the popular vote.
aaaand lets also not forget that Democrats are receiving several millions of votes from the US-born children of the illegal immigrants from the 80s and 90s (who automatically possess US citizenship and consequentially full voting rights).

Also 48 states do not want California and New York deciding every election. Electoral college is political welfare for weak states.

since you seem to need another English lesson, when someone says something like "this is the left's Benghazi moment" they aren't saying they're equivalent. its just a way to draw on precedent to make a funny little comparison about how the pendulum tends to swing both ways. seeing how mad the left is and comparing it to how mad the right was when Comey announced "no indictment" (in a congressional hearing that was eerily like today's, where another FBI director presented their case while people grilled them) is very similar.

as ive said a few times its well and good to disagree with how similar I think they are, as long as you admit they have similarities (which you did ty for that). and its fine to use the phrase "these aren't comparable" as well, I prefer you do, it makes you sound like a foreign kid who learned English on a gaming forum from idiots.
