Re: Your Hour-by-Hour Guide to Following Obsessively on Election Day It would appear that the Republicans have won the Senate. A lot of good work could be done in the next two years.

Re: Your Hour-by-Hour Guide to Following Obsessively on Election Day Wow. I am absolutely thrilled. But why won't they close this out? Paul Ryan called Trump to congratulate him on his "big night." The media, left and right, seem to "know" it is over; they are talking like it is over. What happened mode is already in full swing. Clinton knows it is over. But as I understand it, HRC could still technically win, though the totals tallied so far in the outstanding states clearly don't lean that way, nor does anything else that has happened anywhere in the called states. I won't feel comfortable until it is official. We need Michigan, Pennsylvania to declare. Assuming he has won..... I am very thankful. I thought he would do it - up to the last few days when I really started to get nervous. I didn't dare believe another Brexit would happen. I thought I was just being over emotional when I thought he would win. The polls, media, etc. painted it as so unlikely. I am so proud of this country right now; still have to digest all this - in shock.

Re: Your Hour-by-Hour Guide to Following Obsessively on Election Day According to NBC exit polling, America's Catholic voters were sharply divided along the lines of ethnicity. White Catholics appear to have broken heavily for Republican Donald Trump, 60% - 35%. But exit polls showed an even bigger gap among Latino Catholics in the other direction. Latinos favored Clinton by roughly 40 percentage points over Trump, 67%-26%. Latinos accounted for about 1 in 5 Catholic voters. http://www.nbcnews.com/card/nbc-news...-white-n680856 __________________ "We cannot insist only on issues related to abortion, gay marriage... it is not necessary to talk about these issues all the time."

I wasn't impressed with either candidate, but I had what might be called concerns about Clinton. Way back when her husband was President, my old pastor said to me once that he thought Bill Clinton might be the anti-Christ. He commented "something seems to come through his voice at times ..." He also said "He's rotten to the core", a quote which oddly enough a well known female Australian journalist also put into one of her articles. Incidentally the old pastor didn't spend much time on eschatological stuff. His opinion of most of the fundamentalist stuff that originated in the US was that it was a "bit weird" and said "The Europeans don't think that way, and they've had a much longer experience of Christianity". But I found he was pretty accurate in most of what he said and predicted. Whatever .. but one thing Im absolutely sure of - if she'd gotten in, she'd have pushed abortion on demand everywhere. I didn't and don't trust her or her husband, and I couldn't help feeling she was a front for him. So I suppose I'd have to prefer Mr. Trump, as the lesser of two evils to put it in less flattering terms. In Australia however, the sharemarket has lost 47 billion dollars with Trump's election, but share markets are notoriously fickle, and it will come back again. As for our foreign policy, Australian governments are pretty pragmatic across the board when it comes to foreign policy, and we shift our sails to meet the wind. So we'll just work with whoever comes on board. If Trump does withdraw US forces from the Asia Pacific, and expects Japan and Korea to do more to pull their own weight, then we'll have to consider what to do about that. I have a peculiar personal belief God intends to hand Australia to the Japanese down the track, and I think we could make it a lot easier for ourselves if we started working towards a much stronger relation with the Japanese right now. But that's only my peculiar opinion. I once read a book called "The Third World War" by General Sir John Hackett (I think) of World War II fame. It was just a novel, and the scenario he proposed never happened. But he did have a sort of epilogue. In the epilogue, he proposed that at some stage there might be a 3 way partnership between China, Japan and Australia. saying "As it would be a multi racial partnership, they'd get away with a lot". Who knows. I do know that if the US starts disengaging from the Asia Pacific, we'll be forced to consider other options. As I said we're pragmatic. We're also not big enough to chuck our weight around. Which means we have to play a bit of Realpolitik when it comes to foreign affairs.   #408   Nov 9, '16, 1:13 am RCinMT Regular Member Join Date: June 2, 2016 Posts: 781 Re: Your Hour-by-Hour Guide to Following Obsessively on Election Day Quote: Originally Posted by mVitus I may not have been a Trump supporter (quite anti-Trump actually) but it is what it is.

Someone that could be on the Supreme Court for decades. Somebody with a track record of ruling to uphold protecting life of the unborn and religious liberty. Presumably all the people on the list that has been put forward have such a record, but these issues are really important, and I think, so is age of the nominee.   #413   Nov 9, '16, 2:59 am johnnyc176 Regular Member Join Date: October 3, 2010 Posts: 4,000 Religion: Catholic Re: Your Hour-by-Hour Guide to Following Obsessively on Election Day Quote: Originally Posted by didymus News Media Yet Again Misreads America’s Complex Pulse The liberal media didn't misread anything.

It was wonderful to wake up at 4:15 to read that Trump won. I am so proud of the American people that got out there and voted! I haven't seen the popular vote, but I read Hillary conceded. I think a strong message has been sent - to Obama, to the media, to the progressives and to George Soros and the Clintons! Now I pray Donald Trump can get to work and do what needs to be done for America and her people. We have been abused and neglected the last 8 years. At least that is how I feel. There is hard work ahead! May God bless America! __________________ You created every part of me; you put me together in my mother's womb.

Went to bed. Just woke up to hear the news. Am very about Trump winning As we all know this is history in the making. On a interesting note he is going to have secret service for life. He of course already has his own security. Wonder if his security forces will continue to be hired/used as well as his airplane pilot. In other words they might now temporally be out of a job. Now on to his administration. Will he make Dr. Ben Carson become surgeon general? Am greatly wondering who he will pick for secretary of state as well of course his supreme court pick being he said he would a pro life person. Also do you think he will be a 1 term president? Thus of course paving the way for Mike Pence to run in 2020.   #419   Nov 9, '16, 4:14 am DeniseNY Senior Member Prayer Warrior Join Date: November 30, 2011 Posts: 8,076 Religion: Byzantine Catholic ☦ Re: Your Hour-by-Hour Guide to Following Obsessively on Election Day I know it was a very late night, but I thought it was odd that John Podesta addressed HRC's supporters and not HRC herself.

I didn't see Podesta's address her supporters. I switched to CNN and PBS a couple of times and her supporters were just standing there looking shocked. This was when Trump was under 250. __________________ You created every part of me; you put me together in my mother's womb.
