    I still agree with Barns, I think Trump will win this. Might be close, but he'll win it. Look if Clinton can't win Ohio, Michigan, Florida, while NH and VA are toss-ups... something is seriously wrong with the way they ran their campaign. Or perhaps Democrats did not find the right candidate after all.

    I still can't fathom what a Trump presidency looks like if he wins. Does his big mouth start wars? Does he really build a wall and start deporting people from all different countries? Or does he simply become the puppet they all do? It feels like a joke to me, Donald Trump, lol. The world will be laughing at us if this happens, this is a strange, strange day.

    97% reporting for Pennsylvania, and Trump leads by 35,000 votes. Time to call it in?

    I would say. She's been underperforming and behind in states that she should have won pretty solidly. This is pretty shocking.

    Yea Huffpost had her at over 98% winning (lol), but even Nate Silver of 538 got this wrong.

    He has the house and the Senate too. This could get out of control

    Only way Clinton wins, is if the state of California duplicates itself.

    I can't stand Hillary though, she's corrupt, a liar, a flip-flopper, and IMO scum, so if she loses I can't help but laugh really hard. If you can't beat Donald Trump to become the first woman president after years and years of experience in politics you freakin suck. If she loses it's just too good to me, she gets what she deserves, and one corrupt scum of the earth sort of member of the elite who thought she could just get away with all the crap she's pulled because they always do has to eat it. I just can't not love that.

    I don't like Trump, but I can't help but be with Weezy. Watching that piece of dog feces flounder does make a small part of me happy.

    Yea the problem with Clinton, and it's something the media totally missed, was yea she had support, but it was like paper thin support. The moment anything negative happened (emails for example), people bounced, including her base.

    I think trade and taxes will improve, but healthcare, foreign policy and immigration are going to see major overhauls with this Republican triple threat.

    Networks are still going on as if Clinton is still viable.

    The math is in. As much as it pains me to say that.

    Clearly, we are a divided nation. I don't think Trump is the person to heal or bring us together.

    Not that I thought Hillary was either, but I'm glad she didn't win. I'm not excited that he won, but I'm #NeverHillary

    People on social media are blaming Gary Johnson for Clinton losing...but I feel like if anything he helped Clinton. Without Johnson, this probably would have been a blowout for Trump. Most libertarians I know would probably vote for Trump over Clinton if they had to chose between the two.
