The Young Turks - Republicans' Obstructionism Worked A Charm

Cenk has a slight righteous meltdown.

I think Cenk nails it here. Democrats didn't fight. They took blame for Republican obstructionism. So little of Clinton's campaign was about Trump's bankruptcy / incompetence, all about his bigotry which just riled up his base.

I watched the last 4h of their 14h live coverage -- some good bits in there. Hopefully, the more aggressive parts of the TYT network (SecTalk, TYTPol, etc) will do a thorough post-mortem on the election.

Clinton has a ground game like none other.. Trump had shit.

Trump had zilch political support on his side and push forward putting his money where his mouth is. He won fair and square.

He beat the shit out of her.

The popular vote is close 47 to 48% in her favor. But the election is not about that.

Electoral vote 228 to 279.. Yea he beat the shit out of her.

Landslide victory.

Pretty low bar you set there, last time i looked he didn't even win the popular vote.

RedSkysays...

None of the recent elections have been landslides because voting groups are so separated and gerrymandering.

There hasn't be a McGovern/Nixon or Reagan/Carter result in decades.

Losing the popular vote is a landslide? Doesn't sound like it.

He certainly won, but he's won over a divided country with 50% participation, with almost 50:50 split supporting him / hating him. So he was basically elected by a quarter of the country.

I can see you really need to believe that, and i think you just really like expressing and saying that.

But even a child could understand why his win is hardly a mandate.

Hey, looks like political media coverage is getting fun again. So much angry shouting, I haven't seen that since George W.'s time in office.
I just hope Keith Olberman doesn't get a new job, I enjoyed his talking whale too much.
