Quite apart from any of this, there's no such group as "all Australians".

But there are minorities and a majority, as Hilary Clinton discovered! ;)

Unfortunately for Hillary, a majority wasn't good enough.

I wonder if the US will move to change the archaic electoral college system  ???

Whatever majorities, minorities, sub groups etc. were involved, it's a terrible result. Now we have Kim Jong-un, Trump and Putin.

The riots & protests have already started !!!

Just saw that on the news. Looked more like a bunch of spoiled brats spitting the dummy and stamping their feet  because they didn't get what they wanted.

The riots and protests will die out soon enough.
Just folk that won't accept a democratic process...rather bizarre really....when they would have been the first to condemn Trump for not accepting the result.

As for changing the electoral college system...it ain't going to happen ;)

Even if "faithless electors" abstain or vote against the wishes of their state's majority?  It last happened in 2004, in a largely symbolic protest.

Yes a lot of people do not realise she won the primary vote by a comfortable margin.

It happens under our system too.
Beazley's ALP got more votes than Howard's LNP on the two party preferred in 1998 but lost the election (80 seats to 67)

(Joh used to win in Qld with just his, Flo's and Russ Hinze's vote)

Read that Trump had 4 times the Latino vote...? :o

It reminds me of Gillard's problems.

 - Women didn't want a woman!
 - Latino's don't want other Latino immigrants!
 - Muslim's do not trust Muslim immigrants!

The myths are self-perpetuating, so they vote Trump!

The feminist media are blaming men for Clinton's demise, but it was middle-aged or elderly white women that abandoned Clinton at the poles! The very people that should have been her cornerstone wanted Sanders and voted Trump in his absence!

Reminds me of the history of the US Women's Suffrage movement, some of the biggest Anti-Suffrage supporters were women!

Its absolutely sexist to declare that Trump won only because his opponent had a vagina.

If you go to many mainstream media sites today you can find stories from leading female journalists implying that is the case.

As for the facts, the exit-poles do not lie, they are just statistics!

It's a very grubby situation, it's looking more like an election result that has been as heavily crafted by foreign bloggers as it was the combatants! Conspiracy theorists will claim China and Russia are behind it, but I am not sure they need to look that far from home!

Imagine a world where you can say that a woman only won because she is one.


Tell me that isnt a sexist comment.

Why is it, that the feminists ask for equality yet believe the above is a reasonable argument??

Because historically they have been descriminated against??

This was a democratic process, and not enough equality arguments are being mounted against these feminists.  They want superiority not equality.

Isn't that what Affirmative Action and Positive Discrimination is all about?

Quotas were never a viable solution for dealing with discrimination!

Some of the more extreme feminist commentary today has refused to accept Women would vote against a Woman. So they have drawn the long bow and concluded that those women who voted against Clinton did so on racists grounds conforming to some alleged Trump anti-black anti-immigration agenda. Yet it appears Latino's and Muslim's voted Trump, this is conveniently ignored in today's extreme commentary!

I don't know what the answer is to any of this stuff, but it seems "they" whoever "they" are have become their own worst enemy!

Trump said he was going to bring blue collar jobs back to America while Hillary labelled the people Trump was targeting "deplorables", then she got her rich celebrity friends to put on concerts and endorse how great she is. How could she fail?
