Yeah except the winner of the popular vote does not win the election. This is coming down to Michigan. Clinton is not recovering in the urban FL vote. It's lost.

Clinton is like going to the doctor and finding out you have cancer that will likely kill you in about 15 years.
Trump is like going to the doctor and finding out you are predisposed to a violent aneurysm that will probably kill you outright in the next 12 months and that, if you survive it, comes with a small chance that you'll wake up with a completely new personality and little memory of who you were before.
So they're both kind of scary. It just depends how dramatic and terminal you like your diagnoses to be.
Either that or its a bad analogy.

Oh totally, former senator, secretary of state, and someone who's made a career of being a public servant would never ever get a sniff at the presidency.
WTF???!!!???!!!

All of these are orchestrated attacks from the right, that they themselves have admitted to doing in an attempt to discredit her.
The worst of those is the email server, and that had ZERO consequences on any part of government. She's been exonerated over and over again, yet people still think she's scary because one party says so.

Yep, Michigan is the key. If Clinton loses that she's likely done. She could win Virginia and all the other states she's favored in and would still lose.

The underbelly of The US is on full display tonight. Racism, bigotry and misogyny should never be tolerated let alone promoted.

The racism and bigotry are bad, but it's just basic human decency that he and his herd lack and will impose. That's what's scary.

Scary, hope this is not going down the way it looks. Feels like a turning point for the world if someone like this gets handed the controls to the the US and its military, almost like a distopian movie or video game.

Plus former first lady who spent a term and half in the white House already. On paper from an HR perspective, she's the best candidate for the job

You have to give Trump major kudos. He used the race card to win the Republican nomination and he ramped that up to tap into the racial animus which exists in those bible belt, Appalachian, and rust belt states. The man is crazy as they come, but he managed to tap into the insanity that exists in so many Americans.

This is a coin flip for sure though. Virginia is the key right now, if she holds that she's still looking ok to barely pull through.

Careful
From 538:

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.
