Looks like barring a crazy miracle, Trump will win the electoral college: I do wonder if he loses the popular vote though, given we are still waiting (presumably) on millions of votes from the West Coast.

I'd support somebody who says some insensitive things from time to time, over somebody that supports killing people. She defends child rapists and laughs about it. No she wasn't court appointed either, actually listen to what she says in those recordings. She was asked and agreed to, she wasn't even practicing law at the time, she was teaching.
Not unfounded at all. And I don't like Hilary but she's clearly the better choice. Honestly it's like picking between Hitler and George Bush. You're not going to brag about voting for Bush but he's clearly the better pick.

You can vote for Hitler and then talk about the Iraq war all you want to try to make yourself feel better about voting for Hitler but in the end you're still a bad person for voting for or supporting Trump.

As others have already said, John King is awesome. Pretty much the only reason I watch CNN.

Trump has over performed in every metric. Based on all available information most would stand by their early predictions.

It was Obama and Hillary who he was covering for in the first place. It's nice to know there are still good people working in government behind the scenes and Comey was likely trying to save his own butt.
Right...the guy who DONATED to both Romney and McCain (iirc)...he clearly had no dog in the fight. The new emails were a nothingburger. The Hatch Act exists to keep politically inflammatory judicial proceedings from being made public in ways that could influence an election. If you can't see that is exactly what happened, then yay, you....but you're wrong. I despise Trump and think he is a deplorable candidate. I despise even more the low-information and meaningless straw-manning that some of his supporters use as "real information".

You know if people wanted more of a protest vote they should actually clean up both the senate and house of all the obstructionist politicians that do not actually want a functional government

People voted for Trump not because they are racist or any of that crap. You think 48 million people are racist and misogynistic enough to vote because of that? No.

They voted for Trump for the same reason Alberta voted for the NDP.

Clinton's margins in the popular vote are actually increasing. Now 1.1-1.3 points in her favour according to NYT

Immigration Canada website works for me. I think media is publishing stories prematurely.
