I highly doubt one would sabotage their own presidential campaign when they realise it's successful. "Aw man I finished all this work in a job I've always coveted, better go shit in the sink to even things up" 

very early, not even Trump thought he will win

“DONALD Trump never actually wanted to be President of the United States.”

“Trump was unhappy with his deal as host and star of his hit NBC show, The Apprentice,” he explained on his website. “Simply put, he wanted more money. He had floated the idea before of possibly running for president in the hopes that the attention from that would make his negotiating position stronger.

“But he knew, as the self-proclaimed king of the deal-makers, that saying you’re going to do something is bupkus — DOING it is what makes the bastards sit up and pay attention.”

Only it didn’t quite pan out that way. Following an outlandish first press conference, in which the Republican pledged to keep the Mexican “rapists” and “drug dealers” out of America by building a wall, NBC immediately ended its business relationship with him.

The network put out a statement saying: “Due to the recent derogatory statements by Donald Trump regarding immigrants, NBCUniversal is ending its business relationship with Mr Trump.”

In other words, if Mr Trump’s initial presser had been less outrageous — or perhaps if NBC had conceded, kept him on and offered him the money he was after — he never would have run for president.

As Mr Trump’s popularity continued to rise, Moore contended he attempted to sabotage his own campaign in order to get out of the election. From insulting the family of a fallen US soldier to suggesting his supporters use gun violence to stop Hillary Clinton, Moore believes it was all orchestrated to get Mr Trump out of the running.

Only it didn’t work. Hell, not even a surfaced recording of him bragging about how he could sexually assault women and get away with it worked.

America rejected their alternatives, voted him in, and now it’s his job to govern.

So thats why he was doing 3 rallies a day.

So he could lose.

This is such a bizarre sentiment that so many Trump supporters seem to share. 

It doesn't matter how awful you think Hillary is (or how little you respect my view on the election, for that matter); it's simply delusional to think this race is still competitive (let alone be "confident" about a Trump victory). If you sincerely think that then you just haven't been paying much attention at all (which unfortunately seems true of most people in this thread). 

This election is done. All but one national poll in the last week has shown Hillary leading by at least 8%, one was as high as 15%. The long-term average falls decidedly in her column. All that's really in doubt is whether Hillary wins in a close-but-clear, Obama '12 style victory, or it turns into a landslide not seen since Reagan.

It's time to stop parroting Breitbart and Milo and face reality. If not, you're in for a huge shock come November 9.

If nothing else, am pleased to witness the death of Clintonism as a serious political phenomenon. Has done irreperable harm to US political and social culture.

Both of the elder Clintons' (one without question) should be in prison. It is my earnest hope that the drivelling, sycophantic deference they feel is their due, dies with them. 

p.s. anyone ever applied for the green card lottery?

Trump’s transition team includes veterans who’ve worked for former Presidents George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush and 2012 Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney. The team also includes lobbyists like those he campaigned against over the last year.

The Los Angeles Times reported Friday that Trump’s team seemed to be scrambling to adjust to the prospect of running the United States government in less than 80 days. During a visit to the White House on Thursday, Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, asked White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough how many White House staffers would remain into a Trump administration (almost none will remain). Politico also reported that passages on Trump’s website appeared to be copied from the Center for Presidential Transition.

Trump taps climate-change skeptic to oversee EPA transition

Ebell, who is not a scientist, has long questioned the overwhelming scientific consensus that human activity is fueling unprecedented global warming. He also has staunchly opposed what he calls energy rationing, instead arguing that the United States should unleash the full power of coal, oil and gas to fuel economic growth and job creation.

the only way coal, oil and gas can to fuel economic growth and job creation going forward, is you pass laws to kill off solar power...because Solar power is now much more cost  effective for electricity, and more cost effective  for passage cars , where 70% of oil goes

 empire strikes back (plus 70 year rich old white guy empire)

The Mike Pence (Donald Trump) Assault On LGBTQ Equality Is Already Underway

I’m not going to sugar-coat this at all. We are in for a full-blown assault on LGBTQ rights the likes of which many, particularly younger LGBTQ people, have not seen. Progress will most certainly be halted completely, likely rolled back. And it’s already underway.

Solar and Wind Power is cost effective ?

Now I'v heard everything. So why does SA have the most expensive electricity in the world forcing pensioners to die of the cold or heat exhaustion? And why is it the most unreliable like a third world tin pot?

All these bel liberal ideas aren't so good in the real world. Out of touch with reality to say the least.

I didn't say Wind power, where did I say wind?   

But Solar is now cheaper then most coal power , and Solar is getting cheaper 

who cares what SA does,,,,they can be many reason why SA price go up or down. nothing  to do with cost of generating electricity

Mike Pence, the US Vice President-elect, has said he doesn't believe that smoking kills

Rafi Letzter                                  Mike Pence, the Vice President-elect of the United States, has said that he doesn’t believe smoking kills people.At least that’s what he wrote in an op-ed published in 2000. And he’s made no public effort to update his position since.“Time for a quick reality check,” Pence wrote. “Despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, smoking doesn’t kill. In fact, 2 out of every three smokers does not die from a smoking related illness and 9 out of ten smokers do not contract lung cancer.”Pence’s statistics are questionable to the point of being ludicrous, largely because we keep discovering new ways that smoking is deadly. Even so, his own statistics are worrisome. About 40 million people smoke in the US according to the CDC. One out of every three current smokers dying from a smoking-related illness would translate to about 13.3 million people dead. One out of ten smokers developing lung cancer mean 4 million sick people.

Here are the facts

Pence adds “news flash: smoking is not good for you,” which further raises the question of why he felt the need to write a piece in the first place downplaying tobacco’s dangers.To be clear: The year 2000 was a while ago, but it also came 36 years after Surgeon General Luther Terry published his 1964 reports on the link between smoking and cancer.Mike Pence was selected to be a stable, mainstream companion to President-elect Donald Trump, and to settle the nerves of the Republican party — apparently despite the then-candidate’s expressed wishes. Now he’s just one of the many reasons people who care about science and health are terrified of the impending presidency.

According to the latest research from Bloomberg New Energy Finance, electricity from wind power can now be supplied more cheaply in Australia than power from either coal or natural gas — and solar and other forms of renewable energy aren’t far behind.
Older coal-fired power plants from the 70s and 80s still compete at lower prices than renewables — but only because their construction costs have depreciated. For the deployment of any new power generation in Australia, renewables now appear to be the way to go.
