Nov 08th - US Presidential Elections 2016

Less than 24 hours left to the last major step in electing the most powerful person in this world for next four years.

Entire US is going to vote tomorrow 6am - 9pm as per their local timezone.

But the election process is quite complicated and most of us actually dont even bother understanding it due to its complexity. There is popular vote and then there is electoral vote. i.e A normal citizen will vote for the “Electors” who will subsequently vote to elect the President.

As well know, Republican party (GOP) candidate Mr. Donald trump is in a tight race with Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

Either way a newyorker will be the President for sure :slight_smile: Infact both candidates will be in Newyork to deliver their winning or defeat-acceptance speech.

My prediction is that it’ll be a very, very close race.

Share your thoughts, observations and experiences about this big day.

The choice is really not that difficult. And the great Seth Meyers has made it even more simple. He just nailed it.

Re: Nov 08th - US Presidential Elections 2016

They are saying Hillary has an 85 percent chance of winning. The surprise is not that Trump will lose but it is that a vast majority of white males supported him. A human being in good conscience cannot support a fascist, a racist and a sexist of his caliber. He would have been Hitler on Roids. The hatred he has unleashed and made racism and hate mainstream and that will damage the world for a long time. Thanks to Obamas that Hillary has a slight lead. You don’t have to watch the whole race. If Hillary takes Florida 29 electoral votes she definitely wins.

Trump started politics of hate and racism… his choran got popular…
kuch bhi hosakta hia…

In one forum, there was a poster who stated

Make America Kind again.

Re: Nov 08th - US Presidential Elections 2016

Re: Nov 08th - US Presidential Elections 2016

Yesterday I was driving from work when one truck came on my left with four giant flags, 2 US in front and 2 white flags in back labelled TRUMP. I thought to move the right lane where I saw a jeep with Trump stickers all around. And at the same time the one car in front of me had a Trump sticker on its back too.

Not a pleasant drive for two miles for sure :slight_smile:

Anyhow its a beautiful day today, perfect for polling. So if you are eligible, get your tashreef out and VOTE!

Re: Nov 08th - US Presidential Elections 2016

American policies do not change… either president Hillary or Trump… they both continue same set of core policies…

American democracy is not one man show… Power comes with accountability and check and balance

Re: Nov 08th - US Presidential Elections 2016

Not so true. There is YUGE difference between the policies of democrats and Republicans. And they handle it accordingly.

Re: Nov 08th - US Presidential Elections 2016

Yes but those policies never put American interest on stake. They only change non important policies… for national policies.. both parties agree on same set of procedure .

Senate and Congress … there for reason.

Re: Nov 08th - US Presidential Elections 2016

Meanwhile. Uncle Trump has just casted his vote. Apparently he doesnt trust his wife much either…

Re: Nov 08th - US Presidential Elections 2016

But then Trump thinks that banning Muslims, perhaps shutting down mosques, do extra surveillance of Muslims, do mass deportations, implement stop and frisk policies on blacks, build a wall, undo trade agreements and blow up Iranian sailors for improper gestures are in the best interest of Americans.

Push for human rights, better treatment of minorities, religious freedoms, environmental protection and stuff has to do with what is right and not necessarily for financial gains. For example the Arabs dont give much rights to migrant workers and never have a shortage of people willing to be slave workers.

Re: Nov 08th - US Presidential Elections 2016

Very.. Very … Very… Very… Nervous moments..

Re: Nov 08th - US Presidential Elections 2016

Nahh!! they report smaller centers first and that is where Donald is more popular. High populous centers are Hillary.

Re: Nov 08th - US Presidential Elections 2016

These states have to be kidding me. Trump is in the lead already???

Jeez.

Re: Nov 08th - US Presidential Elections 2016

If Florida goes to Hillary then Donald is totally finished, they have 29 electoral votes. I think Hispanics will drive a nail thru the heart of his presidency dream.
