I mean, it's definitely possible. She doesn't have a huge role (like DMD, I had to check to make sure she was alive and she's in the final shot of the midseason finale), and she could definitely be rolled back. If it were any other show, I'd guess that.
But it's Walking Dead, and people die all the time. It's probably easier for everyone involved if they just kill her off.
We are getting a Suicide Squad sequel, a Harley Quinn spinoff called Gotham Sirens (with Megan Fox possibly as Poison Ivy?), and a Deadshot sequel.
Suicide Squad must've been a much bigger success than I thought. I'm also entertained at the idea of Informant having to praise Megan Fox's work as Ivy 
I guess Sasha ain't long for Walking Dead, despite what the news outlets are saying.
Damn, wouldn't it have been great if the Democrats had taken this election seriously?
Wow, Arrow's midseason finale had some legit surprises on a series of shows that have been pretty bad about surprises. The Evelyn stuff wasn't one because that was spoiled for us, and I don't particularly care about her character.
But Oliver killing Billy? I was assuming that Billy *was* Prometheus (and he still might be), and tricking Oliver into killing him is a pretty great move. I'm hoping that Prometheus is someone else because it sorta kills the move if he is Billy.
Then Laurel. It can't be Flashpoint, right? Because no one would remember her dying if she didn't really die. I was thinking it might be Legends that caused her to come back, but it couldn't have been them either, I don't think. It has to be Prometheus, but I'm not sure how he'd pull that off.
I was sorta annoyed by all the references to Flashpoint and the crossover, though. I get that they'd probably all still be talking about it, but it felt a bit forced.
ireactions, I've been really busy the last few days. I'm going to look at your pages tomorrow 
I never got a good look at the newspaper article from the future. Does it still reference Queen Industries?
Not sure, but it still references Starling City.
Is there a chance that "he" is Iris? He's writing a book, doesn't know any of the science, and is helping Wally train (like in Flashpoint). Maybe future Barry is hiding Iris as HR to protect her from Savitar?
(Although if Savitar knows she's a fake Wells and no one else does, that wouldn't make the most sense).
And I want to say TF was right....again.
Did you notice Ford's handshake with Bernard at the end? They say you can identify a host by their handshake....
....the Ford that died was a host.
I thought they confirmed that Yeoh was the captain?
I also wouldn't necessarily mind a West Wing (at least, the original concept of the West Wing) approach, where it's more about the staff and the captain is more of a minor character in the background.
I actually thought the Lucifer storyline has been pretty good, and I thought Rick Springfield did a pretty good job in the role. I liked that Lucifer is just emotionally distraught and doesn't have a master plan. I think it's a pretty cool idea for a villain.
Yeah, I think they tried. It does sorta remind me of Doomsday, where the writers had this cool idea to do this legendary Superman episode and kept thinking how cool the finale would be....and then it looked terrible. Or in the finale where he was going to fight Darkseid and it just ended up being Clark beating up Lionel.
The problem with these crossovers is who they can fight that would be reason-enough to bring in the others when they seem to be fighting crossover-required villains all the time. I mean, Barry is fighting a *god* - wouldn't he need Supergirl's help with that?
If they do one villain, Supergirl would basically be fighting him/her/it herself while Oliver shoots arrows and Mick shoots fire at him/her/it. It's the problem with Justice League stories - what villain can both Superman and Batman fight?
Now that I think about it, maybe the crossover should've been everyone vs. Kara. She shows up to visit Barry, and then she gets mind-controlled by whoever. And, clearly, she dominates. Flash recruits everyone, and they go off to fight. End of Flash, Kara kills them all. Everyone is dead. End of episode.
Arrow picks up with Oliver in the afterlife. The episode could basically be the same as it was. Instead of fighting their way out, Oliver is torn apart from it when he realizes that the Legends have gone back in time to undo the Aberration. The Legends episode, they find a way to fight the mind-control person instead of fighting Kara. Save the day. Kara flees back to her home world. End of crossover.
Well, that would make sense. I heard about it on the Weekly Planet, which is an Australian-based podcast.
I watched the rest. I thought it had a lot of heart. It was pretty cool that the epic crossover coincided with Arrow's 100th episode, but that episode was much more a love letter to Arrow than a meaningful part of the event. I actually really liked Wild Dog's anger towards metas, and I could see that being a legit fear among humans. I actually was a bit upset that he backed off it so much. Other than that, it was just an interesting episode of Arrow.
And yeah, there was no Slade and no Tommy or Roy or even Ra's. But most of the key emotional players were there, and they, at least, acknowledged Deathstroke's significance. This season has been pretty good about showing how far Oliver has come, and I think it's benefited a bit from reaching back into the history of the show a bit.
The Legends stuff was interesting. I liked that they actually incorporated a Legends-type storyline in and went back in time, although the execution was a bit weak. I felt like Oliver's little speech to Kara was bizarre and didn't make a whole ton of sense at the time. And while the final fight scene was cool, it lost a bit of its muster when you had Oliver/Heat Wave/Vixen/ATOM/etc fighting a handful of Dominators while Barry and Kara took care of hundreds (thousands? millions?) on their own. That point alone maybe shouldn't have been glossed over.
And I actually really liked the little mini-story about Stein and his daughter. Pretty sweet, actually. I like Stein on the show, but I think he needs to go home. Maybe he can stay on a Wentworth Miller - like contract and guest on some of the other shows.
I think the leads all worked pretty well together. Melissa Benoist fit right in (and I have such a crush on her). I actually wouldn't mind seeing her interact with Oliver more - I think they're trying to set something up there (not necessarily romantic). And with Cisco's device, I'm guessing we might see more interaction this season (besides the Flash/Supergirl musical episode).
It also basically clinches that Supergirl ain't crossing over anytime soon.
To be fair, he could've created the spark and handed it to someone great. We don't know. I was looking forward to a Fuller-led series, but whoever is running it could do a great job.
I also heard that it's going to also be shown on Netflix so now I don't have to steal it
http://www.superherohype.com/news/38689 … overy-exit
Fuller won't be involved at all.
Yes. I would. Email me
(If you already did, I haven't checked )
Well, it'd be easier to rework her show if she was in Earth 1, but I don't know if that's the way to go. It's fun to have her in the universe, but it causes issues. I don't think she'd really work on Arrow...she'd make Oliver pretty irrelevant (like how it's hard to do too much Batman/Superman crossover). She and Barry work well together, and I think she'd actually fit pretty well on Legends. But even on Flash, she was a bit out of place because she could decimate the whole team on her own.
Hahah, I really do think it's the way it should go. I also think, when Arrow ends, Stephen Amell could sign a similar deal. Probably not possible since he'd demand "star" money, but it'd certainly be fun for him to continue to pop up in the Arrowverse even after Arrow is over.
And Legends would be a hitch, but not as much as you'd think. They already do less than the normal shows, and their characters could still float around for 5-6 episodes of the other shows (and, of course, the Arrow/Flash/Supergirl characters could still pop up on their show.
Until they figure out the universe thing, the hardest would actually be Supergirl. Since they don't seem to have any characters that overlap (notice that Earth 1 and Kara's Earth have a different president).
After watching the crossovers, I was wondering if they should just have the supporting casts float from show to show each week, while following the leads on their own shows... like you'd have Oliver each week, but he could have Cisco and Felicity by his side, while Barry has Caitlin and Diggle, and then the next week, Barry's undercover with Thea or whatever.
Legends would be the only hitch. It doesn't have one lead, so it would be difficult to add them to the mix.
Didn't I have this idea months ago? 
Well of course they shouldn't do it, but I'm worried that they will. I read something about Grant Gustin only having a contract through the end of this season, but I can't find that article anymore so maybe I made it up.
TNothing against the actor, but the character just never should have been brought into the show. Especially in season 2. Now they have to find a way to get rid of him, because it can't work.
Honestly, I'm much more worried that they'll kill off Barry and make Wally the primary Flash. Considering what the CW has had to do with the Suicide Squad and Amanda Waller (and considering a Justice League movie is on the way), they might force Barry off the show and go with Wally.
Which, honestly, would be a disaster.
I really liked the first part (I haven't watched tonight's Arrow yet). What I liked is that it did feel like an event - not just a crossover. The previous ones felt like contained episodes of each show with guest stars. This felt like an episode of "Arrowverse: the Show" - I didn't feel like the show really babied any viewers. They handled some real stuff (fighting Vigilante instead of just some random dude, Stein meeting his daughter, Diggle finding out about Sara, etc) and I thought most of the meetings were pretty organic and fun. Cisco working with Ray, Stein reuniting with Caitlin, and the Kara/Barry and Barry/Oliver stuff was pretty cool.
And the aliens are dangerous enough to warrant a team-up but faceless enough that we didn't have to spend much time building them up to be feared/understood.
Now some negatives:
- I don't love much about Flashpoint. I like that they're taking it as seriously as they should, but whiny Cisco is no fun (like whiny Felicity was no fun). And whiny Barry is no fun.
- Wally does not work for me. He throws this pity party for himself because he's not a speedster, and then he throws a pity party when people don't love his powers as much as he does. Wally West is a great character, and I don't think he's being portrayed very well at all. He's zero fun, and he's got zero charisma.
-The newspaper article changed to show a different writer, but it still says Starling City. Does Central City's paper not acknowledge the new name for Star City, does it eventually change back, or was it a mistake? Also, as a former journalist, that article is horribly written for a hard-news piece. Writes much more like a human interest fluff piece. Snapper Carr would never put that in his paper.
Look into Jeffrey Epstein. In most of the articles you find, you'll find the words "pedophile" and "sex slave for powerful friends"
You'll also find names like Donald Trump and Bill Clinton. Remember that Bill and Donald are friends. Have been friends for years (http://www.newsweek.com/history-donald- … hip-464360).
Donald might not be an expert on Isis. Or the economy. Or trade deals. Or CHI-na. Or Russia. Or Putin. Or the coal industry. Or elections or Hillary or America or anything. But he's probably pretty versed on scumbags. And I think they're both scumbags.
Trump's behavior was 100 times worse, but Bill took what were 50/50 feelings I had between B.O. and H.C., and soured me on Hillary for life.
Well, we say that Trump is worse, but I'm not 100% sure he is. They run in a lot of the same circles....including private sex parties with underage girls. When Trump talks about Bill, I would tend to believe him. I think they're very similar, but Bill is much more tactful about it.
I heard that Bill Clinton wanted to change the strategy up and focus on the Rust Belt, and they laughed him out of the room. The dude re-wrote the book on American elections, and they laughed him out of the room.
And he was right.
Every time a celebrity complains about Trump, I laugh. If the Democrats had taken this election even a little seriously, they would've won in a landslide. The Republican Party is still divided about Trump. The Democrats ran a candidate *so unpopular* that she was defeated by a portion of the Republican Party.
This was the most winnable election in history, and the party decided it was more important to feed Hillary's lust for power. And now they're paying for it.
I think there are some easy explanations. First of all, many of SQ's questions probably get answered in some of the off-shoot novels, comics, games, etc that accompanied the film. I don't bother with those though. As for the Jedi/Empire, the old Expanded Universe pretty well established that ROTJ was not the end of the Empire. It continued on, and was still very lethal. Perhaps it will be fleshed out, but clearly it seems the "New Republic" failed in some fashion that hasn't been discussed.
I mean, I think it's fine to leave detailed answers to questions like "What was the political climate following the death of Palpatine?" for comics/novels/etc. The questions I'm asking are relatively simple - "Who are the First Order?" and "did anything in the 'middle trilogy' matter?" These are the questions that weren't really answered by the Force Awakens.
We don't get enough information about the protagonists (we know almost nothing about Rey, Finn, or Poe), and we don't really understand the stakes of the fight. Finn talks about the First Order the same way that Luke talked about the Empire. They have the same ships, the same troopers, and seemingly the same power as the Empire. Are they just the Empire? The Resistance and the Rebellion have the same ships and most of the same people. Are they the same? In 30 years, did basically nothing change except for the names of the two sides?
The Force Awakens is basically Independence Day: Resurgence with more beloved characters. "HEY! Remember the first movie! We're just going to do that again with some really thin new characters and some of the characters you loved from the first movie! Here are some things that you should recognize! NOSTALGIA!"
Well, the Marvel films hold up to minimal levels of questioning. Take Hydra, for example. There's an explanation for how Hydra could exist in Captain America: the First Avenger and then still exist in Captain America: the Winter Soldier. Is it a great explanation? No. But they tried.
In Star Wars, they just expect us to substitute "First Order" for "Empire" and "Rebellion" for "Resistance" and just carry on. But what doesn't make sense is how they got there. Or why any of the designations were changed in the first place.
I imagine new designations make it seem like the victories in Return of the Jedi were true victories:
- Luke defeated the Empire
- The Empire is destroyed forever
- The New Republic was formed
And, yeah, I can start connecting some dots. Someone (Snoke?) took control of the remnants of the Empire and built the First Order in its image. Even without a leader, the Empire still had an unlimited number of troops/ships with commanders that we'd have to assume have no loyalty to the New Republic. So even if the New Republic took *some* control of Empire troops, there'd still be, again, unlimited numbers that they wouldn't be able to control.
But, even then, the new designations don't make sense. The Empire would still be the Empire even if Palpatine died. The Roman Empire didn't become something different because one Caesar died. Even if the Romans failed to conquer some random town in France, the emperor wouldn't completely rebrand as something else. If anything, the "Empire" designation would be more appropriate to show that they never actually lost power.
But let's say that, as PR move, the remnants of the Empire just became the First Order. Why the Resistance? Why are they not just the "Army of the New Republic?" Why is Leia in the Resistance and not the Army of the New Republic? In fact, why is every member of the former Rebellion now members of the Resistance?
At the end of the day, it would've been easier to keep things. The Empire is still around. There was a power struggle, but someone (Snoke) took over and the Empire never lost much of its power. The Rebellion is still around and is separate from the New Republic, which is just-about dead and clinging to a single random system. One reason Luke left is because all the work he did was for nothing.
And that's sort of the marvel of the film. I saw it twice in one weekend, enjoyed myself both times, and left with a smile on my face.
But the movie, on very simple levels, doesn't make a whole ton of sense. It works as a standalone reboot better than it does as a sequel to Return of the Jedi.
And, yes, ireactions, I'm sure there's a comic book and a prequel novel that explain everything. But the movie needs to be able to stand on its own, and The Force Awakens collapses under its own weight when you ask basic questions relating to the film's plot.
Question - Did Romney or McCain have widespread recounts, or was Gore the last time this happened?
One other point to consider is that this is the 1st of a new trilogy, and therefore perhaps we need to see the follow ups to properly judge it as part of a larger story?
Yeah, but this movie was 150 minutes long. It's a lot of material with almost no answers. A New Hope was the first in a trilogy, but it still offers a basic understanding of what's going on. And, yeah, the prequels explained too much, but I feel like JJ took things *way too far* the other way in this one.
In A New Hope, they don't explain specifics about the Empire, but we get the general premise. They're a galactic empire with a ton of resources and a ton of soldiers. Think the Nazis or the Romans or a hundred other empires.
The First Order seems like the same thing. They have the same soldiers and the same ships. But how did that happen? Did Snoke take over from the Empire, which maintained most of their power? If so, why is it renamed the First Order? Did they just get a rebranding? Or are they a completely different sect?
On the other side, is the Resistance the same as the Rebellion? Why the shift there? Did the New Republic spring from the Rebellion, or is it something different?
I get that First Order = Empire and Rebellion = Resistance, but I have no idea how those dots got connected. And, thus, whether anything that happened in the "middle trilogy" did any good. And I get that this is the first chapter in a new book, but shouldn't I have any semblance of understanding of what happened before moving on to the second chapter?
I watched it again. I still just don't see the appeal of this movie. It's just nostalgia...there's nothing more to it.
The problem is that I leave with so many questions that I wonder how it's possible that I've just watched a 150-minute movie.
Things we know about Rey: she's brave, she's strong with the Force, she has a mysterious past.
Things we know about Finn: he's brave, he's noble, and he has a mysterious past.
Things we know about Poe: he's brave, he's a good pilot, and we know nothing about his past.
Things we know about Maz: she's been around 1000 years with a mysterious past.
And these are the main characters!
I know Luke and Han aren't great characters in A New Hope, but we knew some things about Luke. His father died at the hands of Darth Vader. He was a great warrior, a great friend, and a great pilot. Luke lives with his aunt and uncle. He wants to leave the planet because he feels a pull to the bigger conflicts.
All we know about Rey is that she feels a pull to the bigger conflicts and wants to fight....but instead of wanting to leave, she wants to stay. But we don't know anything about her parents and almost nothing of her past.
The movie is so secretive, not letting us know anything to try and set up a number of "I am your father" moments, but that means that nostalgia has to carry the entire film. And for a lot of people, that was enough. For me, I'm wondering what the Hell happened.
I watch the scene where the Starkiller base fires and destroys that system, and it raises a hundred questions that the movie refuses to give any insight into. How did the First Order rise from the rubble of the Empire to, once again, be the most powerful force of the galaxy? Who is the New Republic, and why is its capital in some system we've never heard of (instead of Coruscant? Why are the Resistance and the New Republic separate? Shouldn't the Resistance just be the fleet of the New Republic? Why does Princess Leia work for the Resistance and not the New Republic?
And I get that this is a movie that can afford to raise questions and not answer them because movies 8 and 9 would be coming no matter what. This is season one of a show that's guaranteed to be renewed. And, yeah, there's enough fun stuff in the movie that you don't ask the questions until later.
But, really, this movie couldn't afford to give us anything? Anything at all?
Do any of you listen to Dan Carlin? He's a history buff who runs a couple of podcasts. His one on Trump was very good and pretty much said everything I've ever wanted to say about this election.
Anyone watching this show? I have some comments, but I don't want to just talk to myself
I finally saw this tonight. I generally agree with all the criticism of it. I didn't love the Batgirl prologue, just because I didn't really feel like it tied into the main story. I think they maybe should've shown how Barbara became Batgirl. Maybe against her father's wishes. Or Batman's wishes. How she proved herself. Maybe some interaction she had with the Joker.
The sex scene didn't bother me. It's never stated how much older Batman is. He might just be a few years older, and that relationship could easily be just as sexual as her relationship with Dick. I thought that was fine.
The rest of the movie was well done. I haven't actually read the Killing Joke, but I still like the story. I also like the ambiguity of the ending. I think I prefer to think that Batman kills the Joker and ends up in Arkham. Not sure why but I like that ending.
Yeah, I hadn't thought about that, but for as suspicious as Wells has been, I'm surprised that there wasn't more of a deal about the face-swapping (and the "retina-altering device"). It was also weird that Wells didn't stay and vet his doppelganger a little more.
FWIW, Frequency isn't getting a full season order. Neither is No Tomorrow. I guess it's still possible to get canceled on the CW after all.
Well, I meant none of the Arrowverse shows were in cancelled territory. I'm guessing one of them would have to drop below 1MM viewers to get cancelled, although I wouldn't mind seeing Arrow or Legends drop off after this season.
And I'd like Legends to do something next year either way.
And I checked, the ratings for all the series look to be down. Their most recent episode:
Supergirl - 2.35 million US viewers
Flash - 2.77
Arrow - 1.95
Legends - 1.77
So Flash is still number one but down quite a bit. Supergirl is (obviously) down from where it was on CBS, and both Arrow and Legends are falling into scary territory.
For comparison, Supernatural had 1.70 for their latest episode. Vampire Diaries had 1.00. Frequency (on the bubble) had 1.05. So I guess it isn't "cancelled" territory on any of them.
http://www.superherohype.com/news/38588 … e#/slide/1
They're moving Legends to Tuesday to pair with the Flash.
AND HEY, LOOK, THEY MOVED SUPERNATURAL
Climate Change is the #1 threat, to both the United States and the world. The amount of death and financial destruction is second to none. GOP has been so bad on this, it is frankly treasonous. They are in the pockets of the energy industry, and nothing has gotten done. Trump will likely reverse the orders Obama has given on this, driving the US and the world into the abyss much sooner.
I agree that the Republican stance on climate change is ridiculous, but let's not pretend that things were going to get any better under Clinton's watch. She's just as tied to the oil companies, and she's basically Johnny Frackingseed.
This is the problem with electing presidents that are going to be dead in the next couple decades. Why would they care about climate change when they won't be here much longer?
Yeah, we'll see. It's weird that Legends will be responsible for making a big chunk of The Flash make sense.
That's awesome! It's crazy how much staying power this show has on certain people.
It's crazy that no one has decided to reboot it.
And I can see how that could be possible. The only thing that makes me question it is the fact that Thawne and Darhk are both talking about altering their destinies. Darhk is talking about his death (at Oliver's hands) because Sara just told him. I assumed that Thawne found out about his death and wants to avoid it.
Now the character is all about being concerned about the future so he could easily be talking about any other destiny. But there's been enough confusing parts of it that I'm honestly confused.
ireactions is correct: Flashpoint shouldn't have aired in the way it did.
Yeah, maybe Legends will clean up the timeline a bit (where Thawne survives and goes back to kill Wells), but I won't hold my breath about that.
Very well done. An interesting twist on current events twisted up in SLIDERS:REBORN. I liked the moral argument that Quinn makes, and I like that he stands up for what he believes. It's a well-done dialogue, and I think you captured Trump about as well as you could have.
It did make me wonder how the Sliders would see this election. Clearly, Wade would support Hillary. I think Arturo would be turned off by Trump the human being. But then I started wondering about the others. Would Rembrandt and/or Maggie be so quick to turn on a democratically-elected president? Season 1-2 Rembrandt would probably lean more liberal (especially being a black man), but seasons 3+ Rembrandt (being a Navy man) would probably be a bit more reserved in that opinion. I know staunch military democrats who hated Trump and feared him as a boss, but they were very careful to say anything negative. He will be their boss. Or at least the boss of people like them.
Maggie also might be a feminist but not to the degree of Wade. And, again, she's military. She worked for a supervillain in Colonel Rickman. She might think a lot of things, but I don't know if she'd say it (your Maggie is a double, though, right?). And other than being black (so, again, leaning democrat) and a scientist (pragmatic), I have no idea what Diana would think.
I don't think any of the sliders would've voted Trump, but I can see a couple of them voting third party or refusing to vote for either candidate. I think Quinn and Wade (maybe Mallory) are the only definite Hillary votes in the lot.
An interesting thought experiment for sure.
Dang it, I mistyped that, and I think I'm mis-remembering what happened (or time travel is confusing me). In my memory of Flashpoint, Thawne sees Barry in the present (as himself) and then runs off. Next thing we know, he's working with Darhk on Legends of Tomorrow.
Now in the original timeline, Thawne immediately runs away (after killing Barry's mom) and kills Wells in the same night. Is the Flashpoint timeline saying that Thawne killed Barry's mom....time-traveled to mock Barry....then helped Darhk....is presumably defeated by the Legends...and *then* goes to kill Wells and cause the particle accelerator explosion? Or is the Legends stuff before he goes back to kill Barry's mother?
*Head explodes*
Is Earth One Wells still alive? Since Thawne never killed Barry's mom and didn't escape, shouldn't Wells still be alive? I know the show is supposedly saying that Seasons 1 and 2 still happened the way we saw (for the most part), but I don't see how that's possible.
I agree that Arrow has rebounded pretty well, and I still think Supergirl is fun. Flash has been pretty good, but I also worry about losing Wells as a mentor. And having him be more comic relief. I'm sure Cavanaugh is having fun, but are we going to have a different Wells every season?
Are November sweeps still a thing? I've seen less and less coverage of that in recent years, and networks don't seem to place their big event shows during those times.
But do you know how this would work on a perfectly run show? If something like Mr. Robot got additional episodes? Did the show ask for them because they need to tell more story, or did the network ask for them to fill space and the writers have to adjust?
I actually like a handful of things that he's proposing. I love the idea of term limits for Congress, but I don't think Congress has any interest in cutting off the potential gravy train that they're eligible for.
They've extended Legends of Tomorrow four more episodes. First, I thought 13 was fine for them, and I wonder if 17 is going to be too many.
Second, I've always wondered how that worked. Episode 10 of the season went into production two days ago per Marc Guggenheim. I imagine the first ten episodes were building toward, what I would have to think, a conclusion by episode 13. So would an extension this late in the game mean episodes 13-16 are just going to be filler? Or are they going to drag (original) episodes 11-13 into (new) episodes 11-17? Or is this something that they've planned for all along (where the producer tells the CW that they need 17 episodes to tell their story, and it just got approved), and if it hadn't worked, they would've actually crammed episodes 11-17 into 11-13?
I do not like Hillary. I think she's dangerous, and I know her dangers (war in Syria, war with Russia, failed economic policies from her husband's era, etc). Trump's dangers are either nebulous (since he has few concrete stances) or unrealistic (the Wall isn't happening, he's not going to knock down doors to deport people, he's not leaving NATO, etc). I think Trump will either accomplish nothing (which, in this election, is fine) or will be stopped before he can do any damage.
I did feel uneasy last night. And today. Ending Hillary's political career came at a cost. But I don't think the cost is "America."
Trump sucks. And will certainly be a bad president. I did not vote for him.
Well, America overwhelmingly hated their choice. We all expected Hillary to win, and so we kept talking about all the Republicans that would've beaten her. Conversely, a ton of Democrats could've stomped him. But no one ran against Hillary in the primaries. The fact that a septuagenarian Congressman that no one had ever heard of almost beat her should've sent alarms up and down. Losing to Obama in 2008 was one thing - but Bernie had almost none of the qualities that Obama had, and he still had all the momentum and enthusiasm on his side.
If a real candidate had been allowed to run against her, they would've won. And then beaten Trump.
This election was ripe for the taking for both parties, and they both tried their best to lose it.
The Demos rigged the primaries to guarantee they would be running their weakest candidate, and last night they paid the price for it.
So so true.
It's almost like Hillary Clinton is unpopular. Who would've thought?
I'm so embarrassed to be an American today. Hopefully that feeling will subside in the next four years.
Kasich would've beaten Hillary. Whether or not they were true conservatives or whatever is irrelevant. The only reason Trump is even close is because he's running against Hillary. I think Ted Cruz would've beaten her too, although it would've been closer. The only reason she's winning is because she hasn't had to sell herself. She could've done the same strategy (negative 100% of the time), but I'm not sure it would've worked with Cruz. It definitely wouldn't have worked with Bush or Rubio or any other boring Republican.
I don't even know if Bernie would've dropped out as early as he did if not for Trump.
Donald Trump is one of a handful of people (literally a handful) that Hillary can beat. Which, again, makes me think the whole thing was orchestrated by the Clintons to get her this job.
Well, I mean it's easier to believe that all Germans were evil in World War 2, that all Muslims are evil, and that all Confederates were evil. It makes us feel like the wars we've fought were worth it. Justified. Glorious.
But easy isn't always necessarily the truth. I wouldn't expect a CW Superhero show (especially the fourth one in terms of ratings/success) to conquer such a controversial topic, but it might be the perfect type of show to handle something like that.
The Obama's have ZERO scandals after 8 years. They've represented the American people well. His popularity is well earned.
That's exactly my point. If Hillary is clean and Republicans are just making stuff up to soil her image, why aren't they doing so for the Obamas? If they're just going to make stuff up, why not attack the current administration?
Probably because the Clintons are *much* dirtier than the Obamas. And Barack Obama is a *much* more sensible president than Hillary will be. She's going to screw up the economy, make Obamacare so much worse, and make the Middle East situation a lot more dangerous. Hillary will tarnish or destroy every bit of Obama's legacy, which is ironic since he's basically going to win the election for her. Without the president, there's virtually no way she could've gotten the black vote. No one likes her, and they just would've stayed home. The only reason they're voting now is because Obama is literally begging them to do so.
They interviewed a bunch of people at the Jay-Z/Beyonce concert for Hillary. Almost all of them said they were there for Obama more than Hillary. No one likes her, and yet people are voting for her. I just don't understand voting for someone you hate, even if you hate the other guy more. It just doesn't compute with me.
