    Wait, are you a different Blueintheface that posts in BYU game threads?

      Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

        The pundits missed this election because most of the "elite" only heard the message that Trump is a pig, because for those who got left behind, it was about work, not benefits.

        U6 shows us there are lots of citizens, especially in the Midwest who want to work again. So when Trump talked about that, Hillaryites scoffed because Hillaryites were working. "You don't want work, you want benefits." The Trump voters were middle class workers who are Reagan Democrats that Obama seized but Hillary called a basket of deplorables.

        I am reminded by the statement of a New York media type during one of the Nixon elections who was also shocked, because everybody he knew was voting against Nixon. He was so sure McGovern would win. Confirmation bias on steroids.

        We "elite", you elite were deaf to the message that those who won the election heard.

          Amazingly, trump wins with 48% of the vote, which at this moment is 59 million. Romney had 47% and 60.9 million.

          Romney actually got more votes.

          Hillary is just that bad.

            CRAP!! Futures are only down in the 200's right now.

            Let's hope all the rich entertainers who hate America now and are leaving sell all their stocks today before they leave.

                  I'm angry as well and more than a little disappointed at the tepid level of rioting in the streets. We can do better. I'm going to go out this afternoon to buy an American flag to burn, but I'm not really sure where to buy one--I'm thinking Walmart--and I'm not sure where exactly I should burn it or who I should invite or what the fire codes are. Wish me luck.

                    Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies!

                    Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes...

                      You guys hate Trump voters more than Trump allegedly hates immigrants.
                      Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                        I don't hate Trump voters anymore than I hate my dog when it eats random piles of poo. I don't understand it, I don't like it, I think it's disgusting, but I realize my dog is nothing more than a stupid, slobbering beast. I have no argument with you. Go back to your bowl.

                          Trump and Trump's voters also probably think of immigrants as dogs that just got done eating poop too. I'm glad that the animosity isn't as bad as I thought.

                                Meh, they are the Trump voters.

                                Where many are getting this wrong is that this election was tipped by the rednecks, factory workers, unemployed, and the uneducated. What tipped this election were those the pollsters couldn't reach which were teachers, businessmen, lawyers, doctors, and housewives who are tired of the status quo and voted accordingly. They did it under the radar and managed to avoid being singled out by those who would shame.
