2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIt's all over for Trump except the concession speech (which we'll never hear)
But get out and vote; don't be complacent!
... Check out www.270towin.com, which currently projects HRC at 256 EC votes and Trump at 157. If you look at the ten swing states which remain undecided, Trump needs to win 9 out of 10 of those states! HRC only needs Florida, Ohio, North Carolina or a combination of 1-2 others.
Stick a fork in the orange turkey. He's done. Well, except for the crying about stolen elections, the squealing that they'll impeach Hillary, and the denial that their party is dead, and the resulting loss of election after election down the road for these pukes.

(10,252 posts)The "Wheel of Sharp Weapons" was written in the 9th century by the great Buddhist Yogi Dharmarakshita. It tells how bad karma catches up to people and roles over them like a wheel of sharp weapons. Trump's speech today reminded me to go back and review my copy.
"How can someone who cherishes self more than others
Take lust and such dangerous poisons for food?
If he tried like a crow to use other delusions,
He would probably forfeit his chance for release.
...
All of our sufferings derive from our habits
Of selfish delusions we heed and act out
As all of us share in this tragic misfortune,
Which stems from our narrow and self-centred ways,
We must take all our sufferings and the miseries of others
And smother our wishes of selfish concern.
...
Depressed and forlorn, when we feel mental anguish,
This is the wheel of sharp weapons returning
Full circle upon us from wrongs we have done.

Depressed and forlorn, when we feel mental anguish,

Full circle upon us from wrongs we have done.
Till now we have deeply disturbed minds of others."
