40 years of going high doesn't seemed to have worked. In fact, the opposite of the desired effect has resulted.

Ironically most recent immigration from mainland China are higher income individuals, who skew much more heavily toward Trump than other Asian-American groups.

They're probably upset at the TikTok and also Apple moving a quarter of their iPhone manufacturing to India.

Great timing as Apple moves 25% of iPhone manufacturing to India. Sounds like usual state corporate hardball.

When has a hacker attack EVER resulted in lost customer data? (rolls eyes)

And too many years on the subsidized lease booze wagon. All the lease returns stacking up in the used inventories are killing sales.

Why would they repeal it when it's such delicious redmeat for their base for future election cycles?

Bernie would have been annihilated.

Repeat these 3 words after me: "Socialist atheist Jew".

The GOP wouldn't even have to lift a finger.

I agree that she ran a crappy campaign with outright neglect of important Midwestern swing states.

But Clinton lost 4 states - FL, MI, WI, PA by ~1%. The votes potentially changed by the Comey email thing / Russians / fake news represent well within that margin. We're talking an 80,000-vote spread that decided the election one way or the other.

On the morning of September 11, 2001, polls opened in New York City for a mayoral primary. Because of the cataclysmic events of that day, voting was halted, the votes cast were nullified, and the primary was rescheduled. Officials decided that having a fair and accurate vote outweighed concluding the process by a given date. The CIA report on Russia's attempt to sway the election would seem to be of a comparable if not greater magnitude.

The place I work at has really, really shitty perks in comparison to the companies around here.

But we get lots of performance-based cash bonuses that are very equitable up and down the chain, so no one complains.

But now the new HR hires are trying their best to boost morale by doing more and more gimmicky activities and gifts. The old-timers grumble and would rather get the cash.

Just like how they went insane over Obama spending $10 million on travel expenses in 8 years of his presidency.

Which is 10 days worth of security costs for Trump's de facto government seat at Trump Tower.

This is true. She didn't make a single campaign stop in Wisconsin. Those states were just taken for granted. That was bad strategy.

Agreed. The numbers are showing that Republicans generally get about the same turnout and numbers from the past several election cycles, including 2016. It's HRC that failed to turn out her own base (but she still got more votes than all previous presidential candidates in US history except Obama).

Not all Trump voters are racists.

But every single racist person I know voted for Trump.
