Which tells you everything you need to know about the level of stupidity of Americans, and I guess some Canadians as well, that they don't understand how the system works. You can hold the belief that your guy is okay, and everyone else is part of the problem, but that just says you're too ####ing stupid so acknowledge the obvious - everyone else knows your guy is part of the problem! If you want change, you dump everyone. EVERYONE. No one survives the cull. That's how you get change.

The good news is Scott Adams (Dilbert) was wrong. He said Clinton would win.

This kind of crap drives me nuts. Cant it just be that people didnt like her nor want her as President because she was simply too much of the same thing they have seen forever?

This isn't (for the VAST majority of people) about minorities and women. We just saw a 2 term black president fer chrissakes.

This is about the absolute disgust that the American people have for Washington and the way things have been going there for literally decades now. Hillary Clinton embodies all of that in a nice simple little package that has its own uestions when it comes to her foundation among other things.

People are pissed off. Obama was the 'see if this still works' candidate. Sanders would have been the better choice but the Clinton camp made sure that never happened. Democrats have nobody to blame but themselves.
Bernie was a terrible choice, and the race would have been called 2 hours ago. Bernie supporters are the reason Trump might win.

Some of it might be perception but you really need to have your head stuck in the sand to think everything is going well.

And look, I don't like Trump at all. He'll be an unmitigated disaster. But I just think it was a colossal mistake to run Clinton. Sanders was a strong candidate with good ideas and a pissed off populace to support them. But no, the media basically made sure he didn't have a chance.

Yep, about half of Wayne County counted. Big Clinton margin. Only hope for Clinton is a Virginia like comeback (which happened as a result of the DC suburbs coming through for her.

It is tight, she could still win. Slim, but possible.

Trump wins Presidency, triggers mass sick leave!

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.

Why haven't they called Georgia? It really doesn't look all that close based on the early returns.
