    Pence is Trump's impeachment insurance.

    Trump's the first republican to hold a pride flag on stage. http://m.washingtontimes.com/n...

    On Sunday, at a rally in Colorado, Mr. Trump proudly held up a rainbow flag with the words “LGBT for Trump” written on it to a cheering crowd of thousands. It was an historic moment for gay equality and the Party of Lincoln as the 2016 GOP nominee for President of the United States held high the flag for gay equality. No other Republican Presidential nominee in history has embraced the LGBT community in such a loud and proud way.

    He's also said trans could use what ever bathroom they wanted and Caitlyn Jenner took Trump up on bathroom offer. http://www.cnn.com/2016/04/28/...

    The mainstream Left is absolutely convinced of their correctness.

    Which is why they doubled down on the candidate they knew would win.

    A woman president, how can she lose! We don't need an independent socialist, he's not a real democrat anyway. I know we're right, ignore anyone that says otherwise.

  4. Eat a bag of dicks, Zuckerberg, you elected Trump.

    And when I posted real news stories during the primaries I got to have my record corrected. The DNC, against all polling, decided they wanted their queen to make it to the general. And they got what they wanted.

    The DNC had the opportunity to control online discussion but decided to correct the record against Sanders supporters..

    You're not thinking of the "Fuck both of you and this system" 'youth' vote that was behind Bernie. This may have been their first 'real' election where they really got behind a candidate in the primary. The DNC fucked over a lot of people that they thought would just fall in line. Now they're going to be voting "Fuck both of you" for the next multiple cycles.

    Those votes were lost between ~March and July. And even more were lost along the way in November with every e-mail leak. They burned the head of the DNC, any inside track they had at CNN and multiple other bridges because 'it was her turn'.

    DKIM has the beneficial side-effect of causing messages to become "cryptographically non-repudiable"; that is, after the email has been sent, the sender cannot credibly repudiate the message and say that it is a forgery. A DKIM mail server creates a cryptographically strong proof attesting to the authenticity of the email, which it adds to each of the headers of each email it sends. This cryptographic proof can then be tested by anyone who obtains a copy of the email.

    There were a large number of younger Bernie supporters that went anywhere but Clinton.

    I know a few that went Johnson. Some Stein. Some just stayed home.

    Bernie won Michigan (against all polls) and Wisconsin. Stein voters alone would have put Clinton over the top in Wisconsin or Michigan. They assumed wrong which way the fallout from the primaries would fall. The DNC got exactly what it wanted after throwing a lot of people under the bus along the way.

    I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people just checked out of the political process after the DNC this year. Not changing to Republican but not turning out to vote for the Democrats.

  16. DNC Lost Facebookers. on Donald Trump Won Because of Facebook (nymag.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The DNC had a strong foothold online behind Bernie. Large amounts of youth waited in lines for hours to vote for Bernie, do you think they did the same for Hillary? Trump had the bored, young, white, male demographic if for no reason other than it pissed off someone they knew.

    And that demographic hangs out on Facebook, Reddit and 4Chan. Tada, you now 'control' online.

    Meanwhile when Bernie voters logged into facebook they were told they weren't wanted in the DNC or in November from a few people there to correct the record.
