tropo Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) All eyes on Michigan and Pennsylvania (48% C/48% T - 96% counted). edit: Pennsylvania just went to 49% T, 97% counted. That's 20 electoral votes in play. Edited November 9, 2016 by tropo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tropo Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) fivethirtyeight.com, 1 minute ago: HARRY ENTEN 12:50 AM The Clinton campaign is basically hanging on by a thread at this point. She needs to pull out Michigan and Pennsylvania and then hit one of two scenarios: 1. Win Alaska and New Hampshire or 2. win Arizona. That’s going to be extremely difficult. It’s not impossible, but it’s a straight, if not royal, flush. Edited November 9, 2016 by tropo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optad Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) Have to blame the Democrats, not taking anything away from Trump. Even his party walked away. But the democrats abandoned their base. Ignored the principles of Sanders and Biden, Hillary's Wall street affections and blue collar traditions. The entire democrat nomination system is bent. Hopefully Trump is a little more balanced in international affairs than some of his comments but it part of a global fluck you trend.

Old Croc Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) I've been telling people for about a week that Trump will win, but even so I feel sick in the stomach at the thought of what's to come. One of my pension funds has already lost about $7.000 over recent weeks and I've just heard the Dow futures are predicting 800 points down! Pension funds around the world will be feeling the pressure. I wonder how many of the supporters here rely on a stable stock market for their monthly stipends. When he gets into office and starts to instigate some of his mad economic policies, the world financial systems will implode. My prediction is another global depression! I don't like Hillary and do believe the system badly needs change, but America has chosen the wrong horse for the event!

tropo Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 She expected to win Wisconsin without setting foot in that state, and underperformed her polling average in that state by a massive -7.6 http://fivethirtyeight.com/live-blog/2016-election-results-coverage/ She deserved what she got.

A couple of hours ago, well before a couple of the key states were decided, I noticed a change of tone in the voices of the CNN commentators. Their voices slowed down and became lower. They knew then that things were going very bad for their candidate. That's when I knew the probably result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From fivethirtyeight.com: CARL BIALIK 1:07 AM Some States Are Trying To End The Electoral College 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.
