  1. Trump got his votes predominantly from white men and white women (in that order). He was most popular with affluent white men. Turn-out was generally down across all demographics.
  2. Well prior to this election cycle, I would have suggested Elizabeth Warren, but she might not have hurt her chances with her associating with Clinton in this election.
  3. Hillary looks set to win the popular vote and could have won this thing if not for a handful of very close Trump wins in swing states. A woman other than Clinton (one who does not come with all the pre-existing baggage) can definitely win a presidential election.
  4. He could have easily lost. Some of the races were very tight. Clinton's problem seems to be that people weren't really very enthusiastic enough to come out and vote for her. This was the lowest turn-out since 2000.
  5. I don't expect this to set into motion the Apocalypse, but it's equally naive to believe this won't have a rather big impact internationally, if he carries out even a portion of his campaign promises. This isn't reserved just to Trump BTW, had Clinton won we would have seen some changes too, though likely less dramatic. e.g. the Iran deal was probably going to end up in the waste bin regardless of whether the US elected Trump or Clinton.
  6. A Trump presidency will definitely cause some great shifts internationally. Expect Russia to throw their weight around more in terms of their influence on European politics. Expect China to set their eyes on more blatant sea territory grabbing actions in the direction of the Philippines, possibly Vietnam. This won't be a comic book instant-disaster, it will work more subtly and incrementally. NATO is out of the door in its current incarnation, which ironically is not great news for the Brexiteers.
  7. Reposted from the Hillary Clinton topic: The long-standing effects of this cannot be overstated. This is almost certainly the end of NATO as we know it. Russian influence in Europe will become much greater. Obviously the DNC underestimated just how many people truly loathed Clinton. I think the lesson here is not to nominate a candidate who has a large section of the electorate already against him/her, even if the reasons for that dislike might not all be entirely fair. A purely tactical error that was made by the Clinton campaign was the manner in which they totally alienated the so-called Bernie Bros. I believe a lot of them stayed home yesterday and a decent amount of them went even further and voted for Trump instead. I think they will soon find out that the scorched earth tactic is a lot more fun in the movies/comic books they so like than it is in real life.

    The Derby of the Low Countries is usually a big deal over here, but with how poorly the Netherlands have played since the World Cup in 2014, the excitement is rather limited for this one. There was even some talk of a player from Heracles getting a call-up!
  10. She needs to learn the Candi-arch!
  11. MJ's weird T&A obsession has been odd to behold for a while. I wonder how the models themselves think about it. Does she believe she has to do this stuff to sell the magazine?

  16. So the dude met a model on a plane and three years later they are engaged. Nicely played, sir.

  24. I mean that Candice could have spent those months until then working out like crazy to get into VSFS shape but she preferred to spend time with her family which is a completely understandable choice. I thought what I was trying to say was pretty clear?
