No, he voted for Stein. You, on the other hand, have all along supported the only candidate Trump was almost certain to beat. Proud of yourself? Do you wish you'd voted for Bernie now?

Also, remember the analyst Pio linked to with the long-term perfect prediction record who's analysis predicted a Trump win.
Hillary's lead was never far outside the margin of error and usually within it.

Here in Colorado it looks like we passed an amendment to our constitution. We now will have open primaries. Any registered INDEPENDENT voter can cast their vote for any presidential candidate in the primaries. You only get to cast one vote. I know I am going to register as an independent now.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out over the next election cycle.

Interestingly enough, it appears that Clinton has a very narrow lead in the popular vote and could end up winning that when the dust settles.

Wouldn't that be a hoot?

I sure would like to see the electoral college kicked to the curb.

But I doubt that's going to happen.

No

Bernie failed. Hillary failed. I didn't do anything wrong.

I guess you are doing cartwheels in your mancave...just don't trip over Mao's little green book you might knock that Trotsky bust off your fireplace....

So?

You've been doing cartwheels and fist bumps for the better part of a year in your premature celebration of "THE GREAT HILLARY LANDSLIDE TO COME".

Hows that working out for you this morning Ice?
