Still 20% more of Fairfax to report; each increment of 5% has moved her like 20K. Barring weirdness, I think she's holding Virginia. But it's a squeaker, which is a bad sign. | ||

Like damn, the best way to make something happen is to convince everyone else there's no way it can happen, thus ensuring people don't really fight against it. The media is pretty much the number one reason trump will be your next president if he actually wins. GG. | ||

Are the identity politics they live by going to cause a big problem? How are you going to pander to the blue collar folk without alienating your minority identity groups...this will be fun to watch. Labour in the UK is having exactly the same problem. | ||

Question: Will Hillary concede or will she fight the results? EDIT: Jesus down another 50 while I was typing... Glad I packed my go bag. | ||

That would be nearly impossible to happen as Clinton is favored more in popular than electoral (since her voters concentrate in big states with less representation per capita). | ||

We went from Trump being the joke candidate running for republicans to the actual president of the united states and the whole time the media was like "BUT THERE'S NO WAY HE COULD EVER REALLY DO IT!"
