Michigan is going to come down to Wayne and Washtenaw against Macomb +20k lead

Should be interesting.

Someone earlier asked about what he was going to tell his daughter about a Trump win. I said tell her she has the privilege of watching the decline of Rome II.

I was half joking.

I’m now 3/4 serious;

All Hail Caligula II

MSNBC has 209 to 172 on Clinton’s favour. Must clutch at straws so hard my fingers break.

I know several Hispanics who are voting for Trump based in part at least on his status on immigration. Their feelings seem to be along the lines of “my family came here legally…why should we let others come here illegally?”

McMullin pulling out Utah would be really helpful about now.

The liquor industry must be booming!

Western states coming in, complete turnaround.

MSNBC: Clinton 209 - Trump 172

B/c racists might also be liars.

I’m logging too.

I hope this will lead to a wave election in 2020 for the Dems, once the Repubs realize they should have been careful for what they wish for. Assuming the country we have then is still remotely recognizable.

The networks would already have called this election if 2000 hadn’t happened. Also: ratings and ad revenue.

Plus Silver pointed out early on that you shouldn’t listen to exit polls.

Trump takes NC.

I travelled back in time this morning to hunt dinosaurs, and I THINK I stepped on a butterfly.

Sorry, America.

Complete turnaround that’s already factored in.

And Imperator Trump shall divorce Meliania in favour of Ivanka.

My state of California has afforded Hillary a nice breathing space, and given her a lead over Donald, coupled with those 4 electoral votes from Hawaii.

Can we at least kill the “the GOP is dead” thingy? I mean, even if Trump loses.

Why does Florida take so long? They were one of the first to close their polls but they still aren’t done? Why not?

This might kill it even faster.

NC for Trump.
