**** Elections thread *****

I think Trump's popularity is more to do with the concept that Clinton represents the Globalists, while Trump does not. I think that could be a flawed viewpoint, but it might not be. I'm certain that Clinton is establishment, while I'm unsure about Trump. I think that echoes the general mood, though I stand to be corrected.

I think Clinton is in for a shock. I think Trump will get the anti-Globalist vote, and I think that is a much higher proportion of the electorate than it was five years ago.

The important thing is that Trump appears anti-establishment to the voters imo. Whether he actually would turn out to be if he gets in power is another question. My own guess is there would be a lot of talk but not a lot of action; iow, he'll turn out like every other politician.

I'm inclined to agree with this.

Still, Trump offers hope, at least for me. Clinton is most certainly status quo.

Then we'll kick his ass out too.
