If Trump wins, by God, I swear I'm moving to Canada.

I'm at a loss. I truly thought when it all came down to it, America would show the doubters and xenophobics wrong and show up in droves to make the right and logical choice.

As an outsider, with no party allegiance, it is simply the smart choice to elect Clinton. I'm kind of flabbergasted.

Maybe , but what I meant was it didn't rise all that much because it's not as Latino heavy as they needed. It's not Arizona for instance.

I'm confident in writing off FL. Holding onto VA and MI are the concerns right now. OH would have been a steal for Clinton as it had been primarily leaning red, but it's becoming increasingly important with FL gone.

from a European standpoint, I just don't get it. She's a smart politician with a lot of knowledge and experience. How much do you have to hate her to actually vote for an incompetent fool like Donald Trump? Something I simply can't comprehend.

America's falling in education standings in the world is why this could happen.

Could it be that you may disagree with them?

Looks like its shaping up as a pretty big night for Republicans. Have to admit that I didn't think my fellow Americans would so greatly endorse a person with no morals like Donald Trump, but good on him for managing to tap into the things they fear most. Very surprised. Very disappointed.

On an even more disappointing note, John McCain wins his Senate seat again.

Not sure if it's already been posted, but holy ####

I am at a Trump rally in Manhattan, and thousands are chanting "We hate Muslims, we hate blacks, we want our great country back". Disgusting
