So I hooked up my TV to an UHF antenna on my balcony to actually watch something since I cut the cord. I couldn't watch CBC anymore. Flipped to 2&7 and they are playing X-Men Days of Future Past. If only we could change the past...

So it looks like Arizona is the last bastion of hope. Gotta hope for the Latino miracle.

Clinton has no one to blame for the email problems but herself.

Was her choice to not follow the rules.

538 thinks he wins Nevada now.

How many people said that race was over before Election Day?

Ohio is a blowout. Doesn't bode well for Michigan or Pennsylvania either. Just stunning.

Seeing a few tv commentators eating crow already. They look a little bit shell shocked.

Obama was voted in "for change" and change didn't happen. Trump is being voted for for change and I think change will happen but not the kind of change the people wanted! Because of the internet, the elite can't control all the news. The elite are not listening to the people and this is the result. Perhaps absolute greed from the 1% is the reason Trump is winning. Just think, if they paid more taxes Americans would be more malleable...

There were no rules in the place in regards to the use of private servers at the time. In fact, leaders at all levels of government have used the similar practice. The issue is a bull#### issue that the media did not cover properly, nor fairly.

How much effect did the Wikileaks emails have? Hard to say but exit polls seems to suggest it had some impact (since people in polls can't tell the difference between the private email server, the DNC email hacks, and the Podesta hacked emails).
Even if Russia supplied the various hacked emails to Wikileaks (which the evidence is still very much in doubt they did), I would argue that it was the damning contents of the emails that did the actual damage to Hillary, not the scapegoat they blamed it on.
