2016 Presidential Race

From 538:

HARRY ENTEN 9:37 PM
Clinton is leading by only a percentage point in Wayne County, Michigan. That’s a county Obama won by 48 percentage points. Either that result is wrong, a lot of the vote in Detroit (which is in Wayne County) is out, or the map is looking very different than it used to.

One of the under-reported stories tonight is the fact that I can't drink while on antibiotics. Give me your strength, Swamp.

Starting to get an uneasy feeling. How fucking stupid are most of the populous?

Shit. He's going to take FL and OH.

538 was the only conservative poll. Hillary at 68% chance to this morning.

Huffington Post had it at 98%

At a minimum. This thing is done. He will get either Wisconsin or Michigan to finish it off.

Glimmer of hope...she pulled ahead in Virginia.

travzilla · Post by **travzilla** » Tue Nov 08, 2016 9:56 pm

THough I think she holds Michigan and Virginia and narrowly wins in the end... Yikes.

As someone who recently moved onto 20 acres of near oceanfront land in Nova Scotia, what's the best way to parcel off a section of it and sell it to americans? Just Craigslist it?
And of course any swampers get first dibs!

Provide sanctuary for US Swampers.

As long as you can chip in some manual labour in the garden and beer.

Can Trump lose Utah to McMullan and have it cost him the presidency? That would be awesome.

Early doors McMullin winning Utah was good for trump. Now it may not be.

Oh, man, and now Travzilla is here, and I don't have the time or attention span to get re-acquainted. Meet me in the Edmonton Oilers thread later this week, Trav. I'll buy you a cup of coffee.

Watching her regain the lead in VA made me feel stupid for stressing over sports games. Jesus.

OTOH, a Trump presidency would be such a horrendous shit show, the pendulum would wildly swing the other way. I think the next 4 years are going to seem worse economically and otherwise than the past 4, so whoever is President will get blamed. I think the economy is artificially inflated, and we are sure to have a few more shootings and foiled plots by Muslims. Syria is going to get worse before it gets better. The major problem is the Supreme Court, and the GOP held the House, and the Senate is really fucking close. If the Republicans grab all 3 branches, both the House and Senate, fuck...

And Trump is going to court on a charge of raping a 13 year old tomorrow.

NYT now has Trump 78% to win.

Right. Like that's happening. The rules no longer apply. Republicans don't have to do anything they don't want to anymore. Literally, they run the FBI, ignore the constitution, even if that suit were legit, it wouldn't hold up. What authority do courts really have, when you step back? If a party is so strong they can just ignore subpoenas etc, what happens then?

Post by **Shirley** » Tue Nov 08, 2016 10:24 pm

Watching the NYT's meter has been sickening. I watched it go from 53% - 59 - 64 - 71 - 73 - 81%

Jesus Fucking Christ. I can't even image what's going to happen with fucking President Trump. I literally can't imagine.

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Tue Nov 08, 2016 10:25 pm

Ohio goes for Trump. Oh boy.

I'm gunna watch this to keep my mind occupied.

538 has it now 52% Hillary with her win in VA.

travzilla · Post by **travzilla** » Tue Nov 08, 2016 10:40 pm

Michigan is going to decide it.

I actually can't decide what would be worse - a figurehead president controlled by Putin or a figurehead president controlled by Pence/Rudy/Christie. I honestly think those guys are scarier than Rove and Chenny.

Post by **Shirley** » Tue Nov 08, 2016 10:41 pm

538 has gone from Trump 54% a few minutes ago to now 52% Hillary. I'm clinging to whatever "good" news I can find. (NYT has gone to 91% Trump)

The Sybian · Post by **The Sybian** » Tue Nov 08, 2016 10:41 pm

I'm going to be sick.

The Sybian · Post by **The Sybian** » Tue Nov 08, 2016 10:43 pm

I have a feeling we aren't going to know tonight. Mandatory recount in Florida or another state. Jesus fucking Christ.

MSNBC saying suburban Wayne counted first, city votes coming in now, Clinton advantage growing.

Since you hate both candidates, who do you feel more sick about when you think of them winning?

The Sybian · Post by **The Sybian** » Tue Nov 08, 2016 11:03 pm

When are all these dead people's votes going to be tallied for Hillary?

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Tue Nov 08, 2016 11:04 pm

They already voted in Chicago.

You clearly didn't see my earlier post about the bullies fighting for he right to kick me in the nuts.

Google has a check mark next to Florida for Trump. Has that been called? I don't see it elsewhere.

vandwagon · Post by **vandwagon** » Tue Nov 08, 2016 11:07 pm

This is terrible. No matter what so many people voted for a reality tv star who is just a horrible person based on everything that's out there. I'm flabbergasted

The Atlantic and The Hill have it going Trump as well. None of the major outlets have it checked as of yet.
