So that NYT election site is pretty spiffy even though I find its projections highly suspect. I am surprisingly finding the MSN election site the easiest to use. I am a bit baffled at the poor design of most of the mainstream election sites. RealClearPolitics's is absolutely awful.

We also don't yet know if he was serious about only accepting the election results if he wins, to say nothing of what his fan club might do.

Trump is at 87% on NYT right now. They're predicting he'll take Michigan, Wisconsin, and even Pennsylvania .

Yeah, up to 88% now. We'll see how it turns out, but I still think that the Clinton campaign was incredibly poorly run.

The New York Times projection currently has Pennsylvania 62% to go republican for the first time since 1988.

I heard of a lot of "never voted before" people going for Trump. I figured a lot of moderate republicans flat out saying they were voting Clinton and otherwise straight R down ballot would cancel them out. :shock:

MI and WI are narrowing, I doubt they will stay Trump. I am not familar with the states though so maybe the unreported precincts are Trump heavy. NYTs odds seem off.

Large amounts of Republican and Democratic strongholds remain. Trump early lead is a bad sign, but the state remains able to go either way for another 30% or so aka we should know in about an hour and a half.

Hey I resent that. We might be cousin fucking hicks but I've never heard anyone playing a banjo. Musical saws, buckets, fiddles, and glass bottles but not banjos, thats a stereotype!!!!!!

Seriously though, its almost understandable in a stupid way that the Great Orange One would get anything in coal country. These are places economically devastated by the loss of coal jobs. Entire towns have shrunk to fractions of their size. Drug abuse has grown immensely. Alot of places are like 3rd world nations in wealth, crime, and drug abuse. And Hillary has said she is no friend of coal even if she misspoke or just didn't finish her statement.

Combine that with concerns about firearms, something else Clinton is no friend of, and she had no real chance. Its funny in a way that during the Dem primary that Bernie Sanders, a Jewish Socialist, did better then her in the Dem primary.

What isn't really understandable is all the whiny babies whining about how they wanna leave the cuntry almost Hitler Hillary win. Celebs like Miley Cyrus and Bryan Cranston and just people on the internet. I'm sure some other dumbasses are saying the same thing if terrible Trump. And I'm sure both sides were making fun of the other when dumbfuck Republicans were saying they'd move to Cuba if Obama won in 2008 if they weren't dead or in jail no doubt shitting themselves and Dem douchebags were saying they'd move to Canada if Bush won. Other then the fucking fact they are all still here, pants shitter is still free and alive, it really shows the level of stupidity of some people. For the fact they were making fun of their opposition and the fact these supposed people of the people, people who care sooooooo much aboot politics they want to dictact to Joe Average who to vote for that they want to when the going gets tough run the frack away.

I'm sorry to insult anyone here doing chicken little hysterics but come the fuck on. You ain't stupid, use your damn brain. Trump or Clinton, whichever one gets your spookies up, they ain't going to be the end of America or the world or anything. There might be some major shit to be concerned about, for me gun rights for Hillary and gay rights for Trump thus showing the fact I'd be considered politically bipolar. But we survived 8 years of Bush, we surivved 8 years of Obama. We can survive 4 to 8 years of moronic Trump or corrupt Clinton. It might not even be great. Bush wasn't so great for alot of people and Obama wasn't so great for anyone trying to buy a firearm and not pay an Obama Scare Tax. But its survivable.

If Clinton wanted to email Putin the nuclear launch codes from her Blackberry hooked up to a email server in some closet or Trump wanted to give fellatio to Lootin' Putin or nuke him (people seem to be unable to make up their mind if Trump would sell us out to the Ruskies or start a nuclear war with them), I'm sure with all the checks and balances and bullshits in the gubmint they\d be stopped. Same if Trump tried to ban gay people and Clinton tried to ban all firearms, sharp knives, and slightly pointed rocks.

Get a goddamn grip you people.

Now if you'll excuse me Imma go check on the prices of plane tickets to Canada for totally unrelated reasons.

I am absolutely fucking terrified at this point as winning the presidency and the legislature gives the Reps the power to repeal the ACA and put me into permanent wage slavery to cover my medical bills.

At this point one of my better options looks to be saving up for a gun and a single bullet.

In WI Dane County (Madison) is over 50% reported and Clinton is still down 70K votes. Not looking good for the blue team.

Yeah, this is looking like a win for Trump.


I'm fucking astounded that my fingers are even able to write that sentence, let alone it being backed up by what looks like the writing on the wall. Holy shit America, you are very, very sick.

The problem for Hillary in PA is that Philadelphia and Pittsburgh have almost completed reporting. The maps I am looking at show the deep red in between counties left.

Reports out of detroit say that Clinton is way short of the margin to take the lead in MI.

Trump has won NC.

We've all known that the vast majority of the American populace is a shambling horde of old, stupid, soundbyte-driven retards that will fall for the most over-the-top snake oil salesman so long as he panders to their stupidity in public.

And now, we see it's culmination.

There is still one suburb county west of Detroit that has barely reported and should be very heavy for Hillary. There are lot of North and West counties still to report though.

One good news, courtesy of the guardian liveblog:
Sheriff Joe Arpaio, whose police force in Maricopa county, Arizona, has been repeatedly found to practice racial profiling, and who faces criminal charges, has been defeated.
