FK_34 forecasts Clinton wins presidential election.

If enough of us say it, it's gotta come true.

Some of it might be perception but you really need to have your head stuck in the sand to think everything is going well.
Yeah President Donald ####ing Trump is going to help you with social unrest.

As I've already said tranny, it's not THE reason, but A reason.

I've seen it. Some family and friends are proof.

A lot of what Congress does is based on securing jobs. For example the military industrial complex. Sure, in the big picture it looks bad spending trillions on 'war', but if you get down to local areas, there are millions of good paying jobs on the line if the funding is cut. So Congress votes for more spending, and in return they get happy voters.

I think they're trying to figure that out. We (Canada) aren't far enough away though IMO.

Well never underestimate the stupidity of Americans. A good question is how was polling off so badly? Can it really all be the "secret" Trump vote?

He still likely won't quite take it, it has to be close enough to be contested. But listening to you guys squirm has been funny.
Are you going with the it's rigged theory?

What the motivation for this and whose driving it?

It's California.

They could could have kept the polls closed there today and just not bothered. There is probably nothing that could cause Cali to go Republican.

Wouldn't be shocked. People saw how the media and everyone around them was ####ting on Trump supporters, so they either lied or just kept quiet.

Winning Michigan, Nevada, Iowa, Pennsylvania gives her 270 (presuming NH, Wisconsin, Arizona go Trump).

It was the undecideds and third party candidate vote that came to him in the end. She's getting close to her polling numbers in most cases, but he's exceeding his everywhere.

Traditional polling methods are becoming less and less reliable, so error bars are increasing and this is just normal polling error anyway which isn't that far out of the ordinary historically?

Just a guess.
