I think he will die in office before the end of his first term.

Kaine is over. He got beaten so bad in that VP debate it was sad. He can't handle the pressure of a Presidential run.

I didn't actually know who the Vice Presidents were before today surprisingly.

Bernie would have done better than Hillary IMO...this emails/bengazi stuff killed her. And really they didn't need much more

Joe Biden should have run

Trump lost all white groups except married men which he won by 20 points

This is legitimately horrifying. Itse, enjoy living in Finland bro.

Trump isn't much different than the standard bully, hit him in the mouth and he shows his true colours.

Since the election of Barack Obama 8 years ago, the Democratic Party has been systematically dismantled and destroyed.

Yeah, he also got alpha'd by that lady at that black church when he started to stump too.

This is interesting, from the 538 Liveblog:

Hillary Clinton could still conceivably win the election — or she could lose the national popular vote. But since both outcomes look unlikely, we should start preparing ourselves for the possibility of the second split between the national popular vote and the electoral vote in the last five presidential elections. A coalition of 11 states with 165 electoral votes between them has agreed to an interstate compact that, once signed by states with a combined 270 or more electoral votes, would bind their electors to vote for the winner of the national popular vote — in effect ending the Electoral College. New York just joined this week. It wasn’t enough to affect this election, but maybe today’s result will spur more states to join. - CARL BIALIK

PBS: Clinton carried married women, unmarried men, unmarried women. He only won married men, but won them by 20 points.

Yeah, the Republicans' game was tight!

Will this subject Trump to higher levels of legal scrutiny? The man is a walking litigation factory...

[the_only_turek_fan]

Give credit to Van Jones. He did call this happening months ago.

I like him, and he probably would have won, but after the death of his son it wasn't happening. Took the breath right out of the guy. Can't blame him.

[GirlySports]

it's over. PA called for Trump on PBS.

This foreign policy discussion on NBC is basically summing up all of my fears of a Trump presidency.

This could be the greatest legacy of this election, a result so appalling to so many people that it forces them to confront their corrupt political system.

How different would that have been. They might have settled it by trial by combat lol.

He outright said he didn't run because of his son.

69/99 state legislature chambers are GOP
34/50 Governors are GOP.
54/100 Senators are GOP.
274 House members are GOP.
And now the POTUS is GOP.

Maybe the American people have rejected left wing ideology?
