* * * ! Official 2016 US Presidential Election Day Thread ! * * *

I think this proves the multi-verse theory. In some parallel universe, there is someone describing that theory and saying “you may think it’s crazy, but in some universe, Donald Trump is the President”. WE’RE GOING TO BE THAT UNIVERSE!

Damnit, NBC just called Ohio for the sexual predator.

If I were just looking at numbers (or maps) and colors, that would feel like a reasonable argument.
But I’m assuming that the NYT staff knows that. And has factored it in. And is still saying 77%.

This time it will be the “progressives”, not the slavers and racists.

Michigan & Wisconsin are the only states that matter right now. If she loses either, she has no remaining path to win. She’s not going to lose Wisconsin and make up 10 EVs in Arizona or something.

I’m not optimistic.

NYT meter now at 80% Trump.

This is unthinkable. Unimaginable.

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

So if Trump wins Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, Michigan, where does that put us?

Rothschild now shows Hillary 18%.

The Dollar is down 1.2% vs the Euro, down 2.1% vs the Yen.

Trump still has to run the gamut on each swing state… but these Brexit comparisons are giving me anxiety

Holy fuck. Stop the election, I want to get off.

With a President Trump.

But for example NYT live model is supposed to be experts, and now says 80% chance Trump wins. Of course just like it was going in with Clinton at around 80%, 80 isn’t 100. But that was before a serious apparent apparent polling error was confirmed. Clinton isn’t gteed to lose, but there was definitely a polling problem.

Also betting markets are pretty few people and skewed outside the US, but S&P and Peso futures markets represent tons of money all over and have dropped 4 and around 9%. So it’s not over but HRC is in big trouble right now.

As may be, the experts didn’t anticipate this, and bettors don’t wager real money in anticipation of losing it. The fact that the betting line is that high should send a chill down your spine.

My last post 20-odd minutes ago may have gotten lost, but the Detroit Free Press has called Michigan for Clinton. Just FYI, for what it’s worth.

“Are you not entertained??”

Clinton would need a miracle in some place like AZ to make up for it.

There’s too much red. Both on the national map, and within the state maps. Ugh.

The rural voters are speaking.

I’m buying stocks in companies that specialize in gold plating plumbing fixtures.
