    The polls were saying Clinton had a 12 point lead about a week ago. Did so many people change their mind or was it just a lot of people were saying they were going to vote for Clinton but couldn't be bothered when it was voting day? I think a lot of people didn't like "Crooked Hillary" and turned out to vote for Trump. People who voted for Trump wanted real change not the "change" that Obama could only talk about.

    Wee Kranky said

    ""While this is not the outcome I hoped for, it is the verdict of the American people and we must respect it. I congratulate president-elect Trump on winning the election."

    So why cant see accept the Brexit result?

    It's around 5mill votes.

    This is pointless, it's a far superior margin to that enjoyed by Trump, whatever you choose to call it.

    Because the media were saying Trump was a racist, so voters just said we are voting for the Witch, so nobody would call them racist.

    Funny thing is a lot of people (Trogs) are saying racist about Brexit voters, I say sore losers.

    The problem with any poll is it requires;
    1. Honesty from the data source
    2. A large source of data, to be able to correlate into a meaningful outcome.
    My understanding was that there was a lot of silent pollsters, who would not share there voting preferences.

    I don't follow a political dogma of any kind. My place in the political spectrum would be centrist, as I believe in a fair and equal society but I'm also a businessman so our society needs to enable business to flourish in order to drive the economy which makes the former more achievable

    The FBI gave Trump a helping hand. By the time they cleared her, 10M had already cast their votes

    Not ranting...just find it bizarre that a country built on immigration complains about immigration.
    I think the same about Australia too.
    It's simply weird.

    The US - Mexico border is 1,989 miles long.

    If you think you can effectively police all of it, you're dreaming!...

    Don't you understand that they are not complaining about immigration per se? It is ILLEGAL immigration they are complaining about.

    With political polling, people still feel a lack of confidentiality when divulging their
    true voting intentions (judgement on them etc) . This sentiment has to be changed somehow.

    And it's a fact that most illegals in the US entered via plane <laugh>

    He'll never get that kind of ****e through both houses anyway, I think he's going to find the political process extremely frustrating when he realises the President doesn't just click his fingers and it happens

    I doubt he'll even finish the 4 year term personally
