I so agree. They're portrayed as these prizes, when, in actuality, anyone who cares about these women would say "girl, dump him and don't look back. He's no good!" When Ivy said the models were all too tall, I immediately said "well, Quinn is Steffy's height." I floved watching Steffy have to sit backstage watching Quinn wear "her" showstopper. And Ridge having to go out there with her? Icing on the cake. On a shallow note, I don't know how Wyatt can stand back there, between Ivy and Steffy, and even give Steffy a passing thought or glance. I'm still holding out hope we end up with another shot at Wyatt/Ivy. And just say no to Katie/Eric. I'd be great with her being someone who's in Quinn and Eric's corner, after sitting there with Eric and seeing how much he loves her, and after she "got" what Quinn was doing with the jewelry pass. I know Katie needs a new love interest, but, let's put the emphasis on "new" there. Bring in someone who hasn't slept with at least one of her sisters. Of course, I'm still good with Katie/Liam. She and Quinn are the only ones he's had real genuine chemistry with.

So, being ranked Logan Sister the Second with Ridge wasn't bad enough for Katie? Now she's going for a third place Logan Sister finish with Eric?

There are times I'm convinced Zende is the worst character on this show. This is one of those times. He's such a self-absorbed, short-sighted flake. Sasha is too good for him, by far. Hell, Nicole is too good for him.

I would imagine that the only one moving in is Barron. Tiffany, from my understanding, hasn't really lived with him since the divorce, she's been with Marla. (And from things Ivana has said in the past, Trump doesn't really have much use for his kids until they're adults and ready to work in the family business. He's not a "Dad" kind of guy.) I can't imagine the older kids, who all have jobs and their own families, would pick up and move to DC with him. Did people who did this not remotely pay attention to Brexit?? That whole "we didn't think it would happen, we just wanted to vote to send a message" thing is exactly why the UK was shell shocked by the results that the majority of them did not want. He and his kids have said that they'll be running the business, and they consider that a "blind trust." It's so not a blind trust, though. I saw one reporter try to explain to Don Jr why it's not, and he just had blinders on and refused to acknowledge the truth he was being told. Regardless of whether he makes a single solitary decision from the company's end while in office, it's a huge conflict of interest. Off the top of my head - if any Trump owned company wants a government contract, the other companies competing would be screwed. Even if the bidding process if blind, this family has already proven they have no problem behaving in a questionable ethical manner when it comes to their business (I mean, hello, that's why the man has a fraud trial starting soon), so I have little doubt they'd find a way around it. To avoid any hint of impropriety, his children should remove themselves from bidding for any government jobs, period. I doubt they'll go along with that, though. Additionally, what happens when his kids are working on some project either here or abroad, and they need a variance signed off on by local officials? It's going to be awfully hard for any local level government official in a US city or any foreign officials on those projects to refuse signing off on something presented to them by the children of the President of the United States. And, then, in the case of those foreign officials, they'll believe they have an "in" with the White House the next time they need something. Or, when they don't approve something, perhaps they have to fear retaliation in some form down the line (refusal to send aid when needed, refusal to abide by pre-existing treaties). Considering that just under half of eligible voters didn't even vote at all, it's more like 3/4 of us who don't support him. So far, judging from the rumored appointments to his cabinet, it sounds like when he talked about "draining the swamp," he meant he'd drain it right into his cabinet. I haven't heard a peep from his supporters about this. And that's one of the reasons I doubt their sincerity in saying they voted for him to change things up in Washington. This isn't change. He's going to carry on with the exact same business/1% friendly, shit on the middle class and poor agenda that the GOP has been pushing for years. And he was clear on that in the little policy he did talk during the campaign. Cut taxes on the wealthiest and corporations? Remove the "death tax" that only applies to, what, the wealthiest 0.2% in the country? (Side note: when I heard him say that he's seen that tax "destroy families," I could not stop laughing. He has no idea what life is like for people who aren't extraordinarily wealthy.) Remove regulations from business, including things like food safety? None of that is taking our government back for the people.

It's the same way that they rail about the "intellectual elite." Like being smart and educated is a character flaw.

I don't think she'll mind. My theory is she was all ready with her re-negotiate prenups, expecting to be done with him by spring/summer. Now she's stuck for four more years. She'll probably happily let Ivanka handle all the heavy lifting there, and she'll just show up when there's something she's particularly interested in going on, or someone she really wants to meet. I definitely don't think we're going to see the same clearly in love Inauguration dance that we saw the Obamas do.

Apparently, when you hit on just the right combination of name-calling, it gets you to the White House. It continually amazes me that the same people who demand the right to call people "retard" the N word, and any number of other slurs, in the name of being "politically incorrect," lose that "it's OK to call names that offend people" thing when you call them racist (or whatever other label they earn through their speech and behavior). Are we doing away with that darn "PC culture run amok" thing or not, Republicans? He'll take it as the highest compliment someone can pay him. He'll "condemn" it in a "wink wink" way that makes it clear he's flattered. Guess again. Paul Ryan went on TV this morning glorying in Trump's "mandate." Never mind that he saw no such mandate when President Obama won handily (and didn't lose the popular vote). I fully believe this is a big part of it. The first black POTUS was a huge blow for them. There was no way they were going to stand for the first woman right after. Not in their old white boys club. Call me crazy, but I don't think it's ever "great" to have the entire government run by one party, only representing the will of half of the country. You may not like the "liberal influence" but it's our country, too. As much as the GOP likes to blame President Obama for the divide in this country, it's really the GOP attitude that our government should not contain any liberal influence, despite half of the people they are supposed to represent wanting that liberal influence. Ridding the government of one side of the conversation is how you end up with dictatorships. Funny, I watched both conventions this summer, and only one of them was preaching what dire, awful condition this country is in. Spoiler alert, it wasn't the liberal party. The DNC focused on a positive message. The RNC featured a wannabe dictator telling us what a hell hole this country is now and how only he can save us. He'll definitely change things, but it won't be on the "great" side of the ledger.

Yep. I saw one of his supporters ranting on Twitter about how they're just so sick of the "liberal elite pushing for changes." (And, by changes, they, of course, mean progress.) My thought when I saw his face while she spoke was "well, if anyone has doubts as to whether he loves his wife, it's written all over his face." I'd give just about anything to sit around for a no holds barred, off the record, conversation between Hillary, Bill, Barack, Michelle, and Joe. Except for the part where the economy is no longer struggling and improved dramatically from 2009 to now (well, until even the idea of the shit stain cult leader winning the Presidency resulted in one of the (if not the) biggest drops in the market in decades).

Ann Coulter. I cannot live in a world where Ann Coulter is happy. That's just not right.

Absolutely, one hundred percent. There is a segment of this country who has always hated her for the cardinal sin of being an unapologetic ambitious woman. Hell with that. They should be on the front line of experiencing every single one of his horrendous policies. Unlike the Drumpf cult, they KNEW he was wrong, and they still let their petty little egos take the wheel instead of doing the right thing.

That was expected. It sucks, but it was expected all along.

No, it's not. So far, nothing unexpected has been called. I feel like a broken record, but - the more populated areas take longer to count (for obvious reasons). Hillary is favored in those areas. So the couple percentage point back and forth in various states is not the doom some want to see it as. I'm not saying she's guaranteed a win, but it's not remotely over, either. Not by a long shot.

Yep. When I saw that tweet, I had to go back and look at her time line like "it was her I saw bragging about her write in vote earlier, right??" Yep, it was. People have amazing levels of cognitive dissonance.

Polls stay open until the people already in line vote. From what I'm seeing, there were a lot of voters left in line (in Hillary heavy areas). They get to vote.

Nope, neither called yet.

Just saw someone on Twitter who, earlier today, bragged that she wrote in Bernie, asking "how did we let this happen?" I responded "People smugly casting protest votes because they assumed it was in the bag?"

Now they're saying she's likely got VA.

Hillary has NM. VA tightening. She can still lock it up.

FL is always the last one fully counted. The FL GOP has made it so fucking difficult to vote in the Dem areas of the state that they have people in line for HOURS after the polls close. I was hoping that we wouldn't even need FL, so it wouldn't be necessary to go through the FL roller coaster again.

Less than 1 percent difference in VA right now. Blue counties still to come in.

I just saw that Virginia is back within 1 point. Hopefully she still pulls that out.

I just saw someone say the Detroit Free Press called Michigan for Hillary. Let's pray that holds up.

Yes. Everything he's picked up is on his side of the line in the 538 "Snake" graph.

Right? I'm trying not to even look at it right now. But, it sounds like the areas where she's likely to garner the most votes are the ones that haven't checked in yet (because the GOP in Florida tries to make voting as difficult as possible in those areas). When I saw her with a lead in TX, nearly half the precincts were included. It would be fucking amazing if she takes Texas. I can't even put into words how awesome that would be. Yep. Hillary is likely to do better in the more populated areas, which means that her wins are going to come in later (except for the gimme states like IL, NY, and CA).

I laughed my ass off when I saw that their new "thing" is that Chelsea took money from the CF to pay for her wedding. When that one gets proven completely and utterly false, will they start in on the grandkids next? Will they say Charlotte's buying Girl Scout cookies through the foundation to be the highest seller in her troop? (Side note: It appears that Trump actually did pay for Shithead 1 or Shithead 2's Boy Scout registration fee from the Trump Foundation back in the day.) I'd be willing to bet that, at minimum, Laura voted for Hillary. I think both likely did, but they won't publicly acknowledge it out of respect for the party or something. I'm also willing to bet that both of their girls voted Hillary, as did Barbara. (Barbara loves the Clintons to pieces.)
