    Seems like yesterday that 20 Democrats led Trump in the polls

    I'm still in awe of you RB. Nobody and I mean nobody was saying Trump was going to beat Hillary but you. You took a lot of shit back then but you were right. Brexit was the foreshadowing that everybody missed. Influencial people in the CA legislature pushed me to get behind Rubio. I attended a private breakfast and listened to him speak. He was terrible and a fraud. So I got behind Cruz but even he turned out to be a freak. The 16' election cycle woke me up as to how corrupt the republican party was. It is/was the same Bush party that tried to destroy one of the best presidents our country has ever had in Ronald Reagan. You were always right about Trump and very close friends of mine still don't get it. You did and I'll always respect you for seeing what you did and opening my eyes.
    I tentatively predicted a Trump victory. A friend of mine, a Romanian political refugee, asked me how I could say Trump was going to win. "EVERYONE is against him", she said. But I saw video of Hillary speaking to a half-empty gymnasium, and then I saw Trump speaking to a full arena. And I thought "hey the media is lying to us".
    My bad Derek. I was hanging out at e-duck those days

    Ahem. I made money betting the '16 election.

    The establishment failed at controlling the narrative. With continued arrogance they continue to fail all over themselves to this day. The internet finally gives a palpable voice to the populists.
    Impressive and I often wondered how one would open an account in the UK (I assume that's where you placed the bet) to place a bet of that nature. What odds did you get and wasn't Brexit a similar upset? I should have been hanging out here then.

    Van Jones is actually fairly reasonable

    Disagree. He’s right on this, the dems have a weak field, but he’s always been a left wing race baiter. In fact his stance is that Trump’s election was a “Whitelash”. Fuck that guy.

    IIRC - the LA Times is the only paper that predicted Trump would win.
