They all just rely on facebook group think instead of anything actually real to form their opinions.

Looks like Trump has Florida and Ohio in the bag. That is certainly a good start for Trump.

On an even more disappointing note, John McCain wins his Senate seat again.
Hah. Now who's being a bedwetter? i'll bet anyone $1000 Trump loses.

But to some in middle america 8 years of obama has done nothing. A state like indiana has already flipped. The rustbelt ohio could flip too.

Even Florida with the increased latino vote may flip.

Detroit Free Press has called MI for Clinton. Nobody else has. MI is a state Trump badly needs to steal.

Of course I disagree with them. It doesn't change the fact that they make decision with little or bad information given to them. Trust me, when you have conversations with people here it is clear that none of them read any publication regularly, and if they do happen to read something it rarely has any substance to it.

I agree with Bill Maher on this one, Americans are stupid on the whole.

I am so hoping for late urban counts in NC, Virginia, Michigan, and Wisconsin coming in. Yuck at the map at this moment.

Maybe the left would get further if they stopped calling people stupid.

All talk shows should be cancelled tomorrow
