Trump takes Florida

Where's the fun in that?

sorry but this is too important to not be anxious about.

I am old enough to remember the Nixon years

And Gerald Ford.............who in retrospect was a better President than I thought then

And Ronald Reagan............and it never trickled down

And was it 12 years of the Bush's?

And yet we survived and will continue to survive

And the evening is not yet over

" I ask you to remember that Democracy is a very bad form of government

But all the others are so much worse."

The Patriots backfield looking probable for Trump. Not sure Hillary can make it up with the practice squad vote.

Wow Ohio gives Trump 168 to 109

Losing Florida may not be the problem.. the problem would be losing Michigan (and Wisconsin/Nevada/New Hampshire/North Carolina/Minnesota/Maine/PA).

they are both a problem. MI might be the nail

Well, there IS a somewhat bizarre pleasure in watching others wring their hands unnecessarily, the Dems can't be this colossally inept. It would almost be impossible for it to happen.

She got Virginia but lost Ohio, and is losing Michigan and Wisconsin, that went to Bernie. Kicking Bernie out was idiotic and disastrous...and stinky.

But here's something to ponder: a Hillary electoral win with Trump winning the popular vote. Has the possibility of being catastrophic.

Hillary lost.

It seems likely the exact opposite may very well happen. Are you watching the votes come in? Anything that puts Hillary in would not be catastrophic. What's shaping up to happen will be. Donald Trump as the president of the United States. To rub salt in the gaping wound with Hillary winning the popular vote. My God...

NYT has Trump at 88% to win.

Steve Schmidt predicts Michigan will be the decider.

As Forbes advises, no matter who wins your best portfolio move is not to panic.

True - this needed to be a decisive victory. Florida is the biggest surprise. PA should be called soon for Hillary.

wow, whatever happens, a big loser is gonna be the smug liberal media, and the polling industry. Just this morning I read an analysis in the NY Times that was absolutely certain that the 'missing trump voters' did not exist. Whoops.

HRC gets Colorado.

Smart guy and he was well portrayed by Woody Harrelson in Game Change.

Definitely a bad night for pollsters. Should have known not to trust Nate Silver after he called the World Series wrong.

Nate Silver was the only one who gave Trump a chance in hell.

I've liked Steve Schmidt through this season too, but he was predicting as late as today that Hillary would win with 320 or so electoral votes. Impressive maybe, but looking wrong about now.

You do realize that it looks very, very likely that she will, right? Again, I wonder if you have turned on any media over the past few hours?

don't sweat too much. The NYT hasn't had trump over 15% in days now. They've been appallingly wrong along all along so maybe their 89% probability is wrong now.
