4-5. Although there was no way I was voting for Trump, I did prefer him to Clinton, so maybe I'm more like 4 1/2 - 4 1/2.

We're on the same page Knapp

1 - Voter ID laws that ensure only people eligible to vote, do; and that every person eligible to vote, can.

2 - award electoral votes like Nebraska and Maine.

3 - draw congressional districts like Iowa

4- take away the do not call list exemptions from political parties and candidates.

5- standard voting machines that ensure accuracy and can be recounted by hand if necessary (opti-scan?)

Frost to Oregon would seem more realistic. Has there been any rumors of that happening?

Scott Frost (OC)

Gerry Gdowski (Quarterback Coach)

According to many news sources, Jeff Sessions is Attorney General.

My whole life I've heard from my fellow Christians that we have to protect Israel. Now 81% of us voted for a guy with an antisemite Chief of Staff. I feel like I'm in a weird alternate reality.

Yeah, I think we all better be prepared for a great number of things that will feel like some kind of alternate reality.

That's funny. . . . I never really understood the excitement from conservatives about Ben Carson. He is a great surgeon, has a great personal story, and gave 1 speech at the National Prayer Breakfast that we conservatives liked. For some reason, many thought that was enough for him to be President. He showed a total lack of understanding of the issues during the debates, much like our current President Elect.

Trump will be the ruin of the Republican Party and the conservative movement. Although he is not a conservative, the vast majority of Americans don't pay close enough attention and will attribute everything he does to conservatism. Trumpism is a combination of social liberalism, economic populism, racism, and authoritarianism that believes in one thing and one thing only...Donald Trump. Conservatives that supported him are going to be shown to be the fools that they are...sorry if this wasn't the correct thread to post this.

He literally called Mexicans 'rapists' in his campaign announcement.

Wrong! He said that most of the illegal immigrants coming in from Mexico were their criminals and rapists, not that Mexicans are rapists. I'm not a Trump supporter, he has been misquoted so many times about this that everyone thinks its the truth.

 

Wait...isn't that a hate crime?

I wouldn't think so, since they are beating him for who he voted for, not his race. Why does it even matter that they are black and he is white? This thread title begs that question...

 

Give me a break. If four white guys beat the hell of a black guy for voting for Obama in 2008, everyone would mention their race and everyone would say it's a hate crime.

Yep everyone has selected outrage.

I am tired of the whole "She got more popular vote" argument. Neither side was trying to win the popular vote. Candidates don't go to states they aren't competitive. No one knows if Trump would have won the popular vote if that's what the election was about. By that I mean, if Trump is trying to win the popular vote, he probably would have gone to states he was losing, just to keep the margin closer, and vise versa.

To mention the popular vote loss is kind of like losing a football game 9 (three field goals) to seven (one touchdown), and saying the team with seven really won because they scored more touchdowns.

I was watching TV this morning (flipping between Fox and MSNBC), and I was struck by the fact that the only thing you saw on Fox was this video and the only thing on MSNBC was the video of the white middle school students shouting "build the wall" at their Hispanic classmates. If one didn't flip back and forth, you wouldn't even know the other thing occurred....just an observation.

Yes, let's legalize marijuana nationwide so we can fall even further behind in the STEM subjects.

Looks like protests occurring again tonight. I think Trump is either heading to, or is at Trump Tower. Sure hope no one does anything stupid with the secret service around. That could end poorly.

I could post this in any thread talking about election, but this is as good as any:

The election of Donald Trump will do more damage to the Republican Party and the conservative movement than a Hillary Clinton presidency could have ever done.

He and his followers are a caricature of what liberals have always thought about Republicans and conservatives; and now they can point to Trump and this followers as their "proof."

Very sad.

 

 

I hear a lot of criticism (not specifically from this board, just as a general statement) towards 'millenials' for being lazy, entitled, keyboard social justice warriors. Then I hear criticism when they actually get off their ass over something they don't believe in.

 

 

I'm not one who is going to protest this, but I encourage anyone who believes passionately about something to exercise their right to do so and I support it. I'm not sure why you wouldn't.

Yeah, they finally got off their ass because for once in their life they lost a contest and didn't even get a participation trophy; and they can't handle it.

 

 

 

This is a pretty sophomoric non-response, but who gave the participation trophies?

 

Yeah, it was more of knee jerk reaction.

It's all over facebook.

 

It's disgusting, hypocritical, and downright disrespectful....in the same way they demanded everyone else to be for our country to "change". Shows their true colors.

 

I can't remember, and if I'm wrong please tell me, but when did all these "uneducated whites" rioted and burned flags when Obama was elected? Twice.

They didn't riot, but they did lots of the same things this group of morons is doing, ( death threats, #notmypresident,). Also I don't think whites were as scares and somewhat rightfully so as the LGBTQ community, Muslims) and to a lesser extent illegals ( the chance of rounding them up and getting them deported is the same as Obama taking all the guns)

I don't understand why the LGBTQ community would be scared of him. Am I missing something he said or did? As for the Muslims, that was created by the media. He just wants people from terrorists states to be properly vetted so we don't allow ISIS a free path into our country as a refugee. Which is commons sense, it is his job to protect the people of this country and that is where Obama and Clinton really screwed up on this issue. They cared more about hurting the feelings of terrorists who want to do harm to this country than the people that he swore to defend. What Trump is suggesting is nothing more than what we did after WWII for Germans when people were vetted to make sure that they were not Nazi sympathizers. Obama's plan to just let them in without being properly vetted was dumb and Clinton's plan to allow over a 100K more in without being vetted was dumb from the start.

Trump will nominated a conservative judge to the court, and they probably would overturn marriage equality.

 

Have you looked at Pence? Conversion therapy is something Pence has shown interest in.

 

 

Unless the Democrats filibuster the hell out of the Senate like the Republicans have done for the past 8 years.

 

This is factually wrong. While the republicans were in the minority, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan were both confirmed to the Supreme Court in 2009 and 2010.

 

 

And people wonder why this country is divided.

Thanks, Obama.

 

(Not kidding)

 

Obama didn't divide this country. People upset that a Black man was elected president divided this country.

 

Not kidding.

 

I don't think the reason the country is divided has anything to do with Obama one way or the other. I think it's divided because there is nothing called "honest disagreement" in politics anymore. Political opponents aren't considered to be honorable, decent people having honest, differing opinions; they are considered horrible human beings who must be destroyed. In my opinion this started during the 92 Bush/Clinton campaign and hasn't stopped since.

I'm not sure it's totally the end of the Bushes. George P. Bush (Jeb's son) is a Texas Land Commissioner, which, I believe, is a pretty powerful position in Texas. It not hard to conceive of the idea that he uses that position to run for Governor; and from there, all bets are off. It does't hurt that He's Hispanic, Jeb's wife is from Columbia, I believe.

At least we have finally heard the last of the Clintons; and we have a pretty good looking immigrant first lady (oh, the irony)

Trump still has to run the table...I don't think it will happen.

 

The more relevant question would be: Would you rather be us or Notre Dame right now?

Notre Dame for sure. I'm not worried about Notre Dame's long term success. The team and staff is a dumpster fire now but they'll be able and willing to plug in another successful coach. That is something we have refused to do and after 15 years the damage has been done.

 

Record last 15 years including 2016: Notre Dame: 114-72

Nebraska 123-69

Not sure their coaching decisions have been any better than ours.
