The whole Farenthold article is worth a read on his charitable giving.

Trump says he would never use such vulgar language. So, of course, here's a video of him doing just that on the campaign trail.

Regarding the Jay-Z/Beyonce performance, I have, and I #### you not, seen dozens of similar comments browsing public Facebook threads about it this weekend.

"I don't listen to cRAP and Bee-yon-say cackling her way through the DICK-SEE CHICKS set at the CMAs was a disgrace! Shame on them, God does not touch their black lives!"

I'm starting to feel super nervous on the eve before this election. More so than in the past. Pretty sad considering I'm Canadian. There is also some stress regarding my inlaws thoughl, who both voted for Trump.

Senators have 6 year terms so there's only ever about 1/3 of the senate up for election each cycle.

This is the spot labeled 'Trump TV' on the main riser of the grand ballroom at the midtown Hilton for Trump's NYC Election Night party.

I've never been this nervous for an election before. Tomorrow is going to be brutal, and I just hope that it's over before midnight. I can't take much more of this. At least after tomorrow, the campaign ads will finally stop. Living in a battleground state is painful.

So if Trump loses, will there even be anything for Trump TV to cover? I could totally seem him eschewing a live TV concession for putting out some statement instead. Or I could also see him having the concession be exclusive to Trump TV.

I'm behind in the thread, but on the topic of Trump making a profit on the election;

Slate's podcast Trumpcast had a recent episode about how Trump's prize from this election. It's 30min and worth a listen, but I'll summarize.

After Obama thumped the GOP with data, the GOP invested heavily in their own data-inventory. They had an impressive and valuable asset in place for their candidate this election.
Trump ended up being that nominee, Reince gave him access to the vault, and Trump took it and incorporated it into his 'empire.'
Regardless of this election outcome, Trump will have his bigly valued asset.

I have a cousin that has lived in Ohio for 20 years and is an American citizen now. She made a comment on Facebook about voting for Clinton and she said a bunch of "friends" immediately unfriended her and some started saying she wasn't a "real American" and should go back to her own country or shut up. These were people that never had an issue with her being a foreigner before. It sounds crazy how much zeal there is in this election.

Although I am certain Clinton has more supporters, I feel that Trump supporters are a lot more intense and practically worship him.

Well that solved nothing. Except a Democrat Alaska for some reason.

(Edit - If my counting is correct, Trump would then win in Congress by 28 states to 22)
