NYTimes says Pennsylvania is going for Trump longer ago. Just look at what still needs to be counted, the rural areas edge out the 2 cities just a little bit and that should be enough.
Wisconson and Michigan follow, Trump will be a over 300 president.

Trump is a political neophyte. At this point, I'm willing to give it a shot. Some of his surrogates, however, that have a very real shot at being part of his administration already have...less-than-stellar track records in government.

Because Christie, Gingrich, and Trump will all work with democrats to get shit done.

How will you guys deal with this in 6 months, when you will notice the world hasn't ended?

I'll thank my lucky stars. I don't really give a damn about being right about this election... and honestly the odds are probably a lot better than 50/50 that a Trump presidency isn't completely catastrophic for the entire world in the short term. Perhaps the decline of the USA is accelerated by a decade or two but that was coming anyway.

In other words, I'll feel completely fine about my doubts about a Trump presidency even if nothing does go wrong. Even if it doesn't happen there is certainly a significant likelihood from my current perspective that it will happen. + Show Spoiler +
In the same way as Nate Silver will feel fine about his predictions for this election, even though he predicted there was some possibility of a clear Clinton win.


tl;dr I feel a lot more strongly about my preference for the world not going to shit, than being able to say "I was right".

Reading the DNC emails, I will never understand how people can vote for Hillary. If the leaks where Trump cheated his way into the Primary, had CNN paid off to ask specific questions to his opponent, I would vote Hillary 100%.

I hope Trump is good, don't know if he will actually be a good president or not, but I know he's better than Hillary will ever be. So I hope Trump wins tonight, I know it's looking good, but until it's 100% it's not over.


The guy has gone bankrupt so many times and has been part of many pyramid schemes. He has gotten away with so much shit. They're both terrible and you're fellow Americans put them both in position to run your country.

Based off what has been said it sounds like Trump is ready to run your country into the ground.

That is unbelievable. I thought it was possible that he could win, though unlikely. But an actual #trumpslide in the electoral college? No way.

Trump is a player that knows how to play the game properly.

He will reframe his strategy different with different rules.

That is incredibly biased research. Any DNC email that makes its way to you will show Hillary in a negative light by selection.

I am disappointed that Hillary was able to clear out the Democratic primary before it even started. Maybe she could have ended up losing the primary to Biden or something.

@GH

i feel like both have a pretty solid chance of beating trump. bernie maybe even higher, but in my eyes its just a question of who wins by a bigger margin, which isn't that meaningful. i think both would win, and the difference in chance is not significant enough to matter.

though on a meta note, your continued repeated thoughts about bernie are still pretty off-putting to me. on the one hand, most of what's going on in this thread is just inconsequential musing, but on the other, this is the type of musing that's among what i'm least interested in. bernie has no chance this year barring some sort of extreme circumstances involving hillary not being able to run anymore.



Personally I think people are underestimating how much Trump could drive republican turnout against Hillary and overestimating how well Hillary will do to assuage concerns about her among the left and turn people out against Trump. But I can save those conversations for delegates who actually have influence over the outcome rather than here.


I think a lot of people are in for a big surprise in November when Trump destroys her in the general election.



That makes me 3 for 0 at predicting the last 3 presidential elections

Whether he closes this out or not it is refreshing to see so many people reject the media's 24/7 "muh nukes" "muh stalin" "muh hitler" fear mongering. It's a global movement folks!

I dearly hope the rest of europe takes the dagger off their wrists and sticks it in the globalists' hearts. France referendum when?!

Wasn't Gingrich the entire architect behind the Contract With America that initiated obstructionism and not working with Democrats? Am I misremembering this?
