Earlier in the season we had said it was no sure thing and with good reason.   Everyone got sidetracked by the Access Hollywood tape to the point we forgot that the real story was Trump and Bernie and what that said.    Plus, the country has a fear of women.    So who should be ashamed of themselves:

 

The 30% of the latino voters who voted for Trump

All the republican women who voted for Trump

 

If any group deserved to be the ones to end Trump's candidacy it was the latinos but it turns out one out of every three wants that wall I guess, or doesn't like muslims.

So Australian TV is basically calling this for Trump- citing the AP- and are calling this the biggest and most frightening upset in the history of the modern world. 

 

The people on 7 News and Sky news are having meltdowns and my twitter feed is a mess between all the people I know personally and all the media. I feel like the whole world just got crushed.

How did this even happen? I can't believe it.

 

Also, I'm standing in my back lawn, which backs up onto a busy street and surf club/shop, and some dude just went out into the streets and shouted "[!@#$%^&*] You America" and get a lot of whoops and hollers from the people down on the street. The people of Sydney are with you guys!

I'm surrounded by a lot of hate for America and I always try and at least defend it but how does anyone defend this. This is just.....beyond. And am I understanding right that the Republicans have control of everything now? So theoretically he'll be able to push through anything he wants?

 

I feel like this is how the Hunger Games started.

I'd like to say Im shocked but deep down I knew the minute he yelled "build the wall" and "Muslim ban" that he had tapped into something real. 

 

 

And of course at the end of the day we have to own that we as Democrats nominated a deeply flawed candidate who was universally despised by the media and nearly all Republicans and apparently enough "independents".

 

 

God help us over the next 4 years. People want to act all shocked over Bills scandals but that will be nothing compared to Donald Trump in the Oval Office. 

 

 

I can't even begin to think how our foreign policy will change under this man or civil liberties under Attorney General Rudy Guilani. The effing Supreme Court.

    • After today’s rushed and abrupt exit for Summer I immediately realized that Josh & Co. were very blindsided by AL’s decision to leave.  Not the first time this has happened to JG either; see MM & HK’s exits in 2021, MM’s exit in 2022, and of course TSJ’s exit last year. Obviously JG and our executive in charge of nothing Steve Kent don’t have a good handle on casting disruptions. And Mariah having an offscreen affair is [!@#$%^&*] ridiculous!! Meanwhile Tessa’s blonde hair is overkill with the number of blondes on the show already. I said the same thing 3 years ago…of course it was utterly ridiculous everyone was mad at Sally for getting Summer he dream job (don’t ask lol) but there was so much the show could have done without bringing on the Marchetti angle.
    • Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea?  There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
    • Thanks for honoring Ruth Buzzi. She was a treasure. I'm glad DAYS let her have some fun. I remember Imogene Coca complaining about ATWT just giving her a drab guest part.
    • It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.
    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
