    This is a made for tv mini series finale. Clinton is winning. Senate and house are staying red. We all wake up and nothing has changed and all we did was make a shit load of money for the news networks believing their early story line.

    If they'd just add Cali to the Clinton side on popular and electoral, this whole discussion would seem silly. I know they can't bc polls aren't closed, but they should just say if per se Cali is what cali is, here are the numbers.

    Bout maybe they were right about Michigan?

    This sort of reminds me of the tease before the actuality of Clinton winning this election. Just another way to keep us tuned in right to the very end. I'm glad I got my shopping in for some new cycling gear. I'll have another white rum and Italian ice later. Lol

    Peace

    You're exactly right, g_p.

    You know what? I agree with this. Not because I'm hopeful, but because, as @Free has said several times, its all about the drama. I can't see Trump pulling this out.

    Good god I hope not.

    I don't say things because I want attention, I'm actually pretty introverted. It really is all about psychology; persuasion and manipulation are powerful tools the media use handily.

    Peace out.

    Looks like my state Florida is going to be the peninsula of TRUMP. ITS a win for him here, which is not surprising.

    Agree about Hillary.(Trump is shitty too)

    And yeah, i too also think if Joe Biden ran he would've ran away from Trump. I wonder why he didn't run?

    TRUMP just won Ohio welcome to the new President elect. I wonder if he still thinks the election is rigged?

    this is sort of what canada's former pm once said about his term ... the hardest issue he ever had to deal with was not whether or not to send Canada to Iraq but rather gay marriage ... this is because people will never outwardly proclaim their homophobia but in the security of their home or ballot box - they are free to express their ignorance ...

    this is what's happening now ... people didn't want to say they would vote for trump but deep down trump represents more americans by a landslide vs hilary ...

    Also a rebuke of Obama. Make no mistake about it. She is terrible, but the fact the house and senate aren't flipping tells you who the American public thinks is the problem.

    And btw, at this point win or lose, love or hate, you have to admitTrump ran a masterful campaign that will be studied for years to come. Dismiss as an oddity at your own peril. He spoke to people both parties had forgotten.
