Hmmm, the heavily democratic county where Tuscon is still has a 69% still left to report while the rest of the state is much further along. She's down about 60,000 now. Slim chance at a late rally in Arizona?

It's not over the top at all. Trump's message has already passed down to elementary school children and has made it ok to tell anyone different that they are going to get deported.

I think one thing to blame the media for is the normalization of outrage.

Everything was a crisis that disqualified Trump
Milania plagerism - not a big deal
Milania Visa - not a big deal
Tax returns - not a big deal
Disabled reporter - medium sized deal
Immigration - attack as failed policy not as bigotry

Sexually Assault - big deal
Foreign policy - big deal

So if things were covered with outrage when outrage is appropriate it would be more effective. Same with Clinton and the emails / wiki / everything that the level of outrage became noise.

That's generally why most of us rational people have been pulling for Hillary.

There were a lot of people that were like "I want to see Trump win to watch the suffer" - I made sure to call them out on it.

I was so wrong about Americans. I've been saying for months that he couldn't win because there would be enough reasonable people that normally don't vote who would come out to stop him. It looks like the opposite has happened. I am shocked. This is crazy.
