The low margin in Virginia was the first really bad sign. Now, unless she pulls off a miracle in Wisconsin and Michigan, Clinton is in big trouble. She needs to win all of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, or that is basically the ball game.

Clinton wins Colorado. Our model now gives her a 50 percent chance of winning the election.

Well, my $10 bet on Trump at +2500 is looking good.

Detroit vote is pooping the bed. Trump has made up massive ground vs Romney in Detroit.

Baloney. You know when her approval ratings go up? When she's actually in government doing things, like being a senator or secretary of state.

Florida is done. Trump looks like he has taken that. Looks like a Donald Trump presidency.

I really hate the outcome, but the American public has spoken and chosen their President. It is going to be very weird waking up tomorrow in a country where the President-elect is Donald Trump and that all that was said during the election, all of those horrible things, is the reality we will have to face for the future. The thing that scares me the most is a Trump presidency, a Republican congress, a Republican senate, and as a result, a conservative supreme court. It may be a very scary country to face in the very near future.

Congratulations Mr. Trump. You ran a campaign that will be studied, and struggle to understand, for decades to come.

Yea, it's looking pretty bleak for Clinton now. I think it's game over.

Again, all the racism and misogyny is awful, obviously. However it doesn't worry me as much as his disastrous foreign policy stances and willingness to felate Putin.

This is a ####ing disaster.

Controls foreign policy and can do a lot without congressional action within the various departments like EPA and others.
