Subject: Post Election Support

Dear Students,

We at the Multicultural Affairs Office hope this email reaches you and you are doing ok. We know many of you stayed up waiting to hear of the election results. These are unprecedented times. The nation as well as our community is reacting in many different ways. We are reaching out to each of you because we know that this was an intense election and we are already hearing a number of reactions, feelings and emotions. This is a critical time to make sure that you, your friends, classmates, neighbors are doing ok and seeking the appropriate support especially if they need a place to process or work through what they’re feeling.

You may hear or notice reactions both immediate and in the coming weeks, some anticipated and many that may be difficult to articulate or be shared. While it may take some time to fully take in all the recent events, please also know that the OMA office is here for you. Our UMass Lowell community is here for you. Do not hesitate at all to come in or ask for support.

Today there is a Post-election self-care session from 12-4pm in Moloney. The event will include cookies, mandalas, stress reduction techniques and mindfulness activities. Counseling and Health Services will also be available. We have sent out messages through our Social Media sites as well as encouraging students to drop in all week. Above all, take good care and know that there is strength in our community that you can lean on.

Kind regards,
Office of Multicultural Affairs Staff

They never adjusted these back down, so she has always been showing higher.

Problem - They overplayed their hand in the early voting (EV) states as her turnout has been anemic relative to Republican support. Florida's Dem EV, for instance, is alarmingly much lower than they had expected, and she now needs an Obama-like turnout on tomorrow to carry the state. Nate Sliver has all but given FL to Trump.

The same scenario has played out in NC which has been a solid Left/Leaning Left state until EV closed, it is now a toss up/leaning Right state. CO and NV are in the same boat. She is in serious danger of losing MI and PA, and has unscheduled events there in a desperate attempt to shore up her support.

There is full out panic in the campaign. You can see it in Robbie Mook's face as he is being interviewed today. They know there is no way they are going to get the turnout they need to win AZ, OH, FL, NC. They are struggling to hold leaning left states of NH, NV, CO, MI and, if EV turnout is any indication, will lose all 4.

I didn't think I'd be as confident the evening before ED, but I don't have much doubt about President Trump Wednesday morning.

They are a bunch of cry babies. I can understand them being upset. I certainly was not happy with the results in 2008 or 2012. But I wasn't going to protest. There was nothing to protest. My candidates lost fair and square, end of story. There was nothing I could do. I had to accept the result.

Obama and Clinton actually showed some class today. I wish I could say the same thing for these idiots who are protesting.

I advise all patriots to avoid big cities if at all possible these next 71 days of this failed agitator's reign.

It will all be over soon and the stuttering p.ussy prep school/Harvard douchecanoe will have to go preemptive and pardon half the beltway.

Let their dumb brainwashed sheep tear their cities up.

More construction work for the real Americans when Trump takes command.

I think her expectation was that Bernie's followers would just fall into line after she won the nomination, ala her supporters did for Obama in '08. But, with all the controversy around the entire nomination, those people felt abandoned by their own party, so they made their voice heard loud and clear by NOT going to the polls to endorse her, or even worse, they endorsed her opponent.

Obviously this is all very fresh for the country, but the Democratic party should stop looking at factors outside of their own party to blame for their loss. IMO, this was a self-destruct on their part, and it should further prove that people don't always vote for whomever their party props up in front of them. Also, the fact that Democrats immediately started to question or insinuate that Bernie would have won easy, speaks to how divided the party was.
