No, Gabbard appointment...
Haley has an accounting degree from Clemson and zero foreign policy experience. She will be the most unqualified American UN ambassador ever.

No, Gabbard appointment... I doubt she wanted it. It would have been political suicide. |

Care to expand a little, if only because this seems to be gathering a head of steam in some quarters? |

Change of diversity 2000-2015:  Can you explain what the numbers mean? The shading there seems to look like the opposite of what you would expect |

It is reported that Clinton's lead in the popular vote has just reached 2 million. Of course this "doesn't matter", but maybe in a sense it does?

Haley is an ethnic minority woman, so Trump's team know full well that criticism of her for things like that can be considered sexist racism under the Left's "diversity" rules. While she herself as an ethnic minority woman "cannot be racist or sexist" (cf Bahar Mustafa). It's a smart choice that plays to the Left's weaknesses. |

Put simply the people making the claims are fucking morons and the suggestion that these people are scientists is laughable as they don't seem to understand some basic principles of scientific analysis. They are suggesting foul play on the basis that "Clinton received 7 percent fewer votes in counties that relied on electronic-voting machines compared with counties that used optical scanners and paper ballots" which is absolutely meaningless as they have failed to control for other variables. |

Since Trump is unlikely to give two hoots about the UN the position is also pretty meaningless. |

Krugman is wilfully playing the "If you say it enough it becomes true" game. Didn't the Left just spend the last year shouting that this kind of thing was a total disgrace?

Ahahahahaha... and that from the very same people who laid into Trump when he said he might not accept the result if he lost. Oh the irony. Will be lost on those twerps though I suppose. Dishonest hypocritical cunts. |

Two million was the estimate of most people knowledgable about such things, so it will likely not grow much higher. I think it matters psychologically that her popular vote lead will end up being four times higher than Gore's. |

I think it matters psychologically that her popular vote lead will end up being four times higher than Gore's. And might not end up massively less than GWB's in 2004, when a small number of votes "flipping" in Ohio would have made Kerry POTUS nonetheless. |

Seems like at least one American ally is unequivocally pro-Trump. Erdogan criticizes anti-Trump protestors for "disrespecting democracy". “First and foremost, those who believe in the ballot need to have respect for the results". “If they don't, then this means they don't understand democracy, they can't tolerate it and they don't have respect for it.” www.yenisafak.com/en/news/anti-trump-protests-disrespect-to-democracy-erdogan-2568167 |
