Wisconsin is gone, the major cities are mostly in. Gotta be Arizona or nothing.

I worry Iowa could be the tipping point, even if she pulls a rabbit out of a hat in Michigan. Unbelievable.

It was a joke.

Lots of Michigan to come that are Republican strong apparently. Grand Rapids.

[Manhattanboy]

Wolf is giddy as MI has Clinton closing the gap.

I get the City late push in Michigan, but I don't understand how Wisconsin flips back

[the_only_turek_fan]

Yeah Michigan will go to Clinton. What is Trump's path now?

I am currently dealing with a (gay, latino) best friend who is in full meltdown mode because he's terrified for his safety.

Thanks lots, America.

LOL seriously?

The polling was clearly biased, notice how all of them gave Trump more points as it got closer to election time? Do you think it might have to do with the fact that if they are way off on their last polls, the one's that people will actually look at and remember for the next election, nobody will ever take them seriously again. The only poll that was even slightly close was the usc daybreak poll and even they were clearly fudging some numbers for Shillary.

The media bias does everyone a disservice, at least it appears it might have backfired on them here. LOL

OMG...do you not understand Oct. 28 and Comey? Holy Crap...a 9 point Clinton lead became a 3-4...exactly as expected...and also swung the battleground senate votes. This result is, yes, a polling error surprise due to turnout of demographics (and within the margins of error for good polling) and a massive late move away from Clinton because of an unnecessary, and quite likely in violation of the Hatch Act, act by Comey.

Totally forgot about Arizona. Anybody know where we sit there at the moment?

It's leaning Trump, but too early to call.

At least Antonio Sabato Jr's acting career is saved

Yeah I really do think a two party system is rigged, either way they get their candidate. I've always been a bit suspicious of electronic voting just on principle, but seems hard to prove either way.

Isn't in this case if trump wins 'they' don't get their candidate and if they wanted 'their' candidate don't they put Jeb against Clinton and laugh all the way.

Although I do like your 1984ish vision of the war continuing with victories but never ending.

Detroit Free Press called Michigan for Clinton it seems like hours ago.

Michigan is a very tight knit network, the DFP would be the most reliable early source on prediction worthy results.

Trump 6.2% ahead with 65% reporting

Not sure how that's funny? It must be nice to be Canadian and not a minority but the hate in America is real and if Trump wins then all minorities should be scared. If the words of Trump hasn't convinced you, I'm sure his actions will.
