So it does seem to actually be true that either:

1. People were just not willing to tell pollsters their true level of support for Trump because of fear of the PC police.

2. The pollsters were simply lying.

OR they were not that far off. Hillary still probably wins the popular vote by a percent or two.

As for the swing states ? There are a lot of possible answers. How many used Diebold machines ? There's also the isue of how many people vote. Maybe the people that were hot to trot for Trump actually got out and voted in higher percentage than the Hillary voters.

I suspect 1 and 2.

Of course you do. Have some faith, Tyrone.

The comedy shows should be good for a while. It should also be real interesting watching the Republicans fight (work together) over the direction of the country.

Maybe the establishment Repubs and Dems get together and make stuff happen? Who knows.

The one we have now is massive uncertainty ... and that is what the markets and balance of powers hate most.

All polls closed. Just counting left.

Trump was just an odd candidate no one could predict.

I have been predicting that for months. (Well, Trump has not won YET.)

I also predicted Brexit.

You'd never know it was election night.

That's really the whole point. Isn't it? Both parties' establishments thought they could predict and control their voters. Both parties were wrong. Both parties are now going to change.

The voters have basically given both parties' establishment a big fuck you.

he won't want to do the work. He will be a figure head and let the cabinet run things.

My theory is that he did this to build his brand and fucked up and won.

How?

Yeah, but I predicted that Miley Cyrus would do something slutty. You don't hear me bragging. Oh wait, you do in this post.

Van Jones just pulled the Russia Card, too.

Double dick head.

Hillary YOU'RE FIRED!!

Next Comey will "resign" HA HA HA

That is the way it should be, Carter tried doing it all himself which led to his failure

Maine 3 out of 4 of it's electoral votes called for Hillary. The other one is too close to call.

Why is it taking so long to call some of these states? C'mon Michigan and Pennsylvania. Maybe Comey should help them out. His ability to read 65k emails per day is impressive and should be put to good use to speed up the vote counting, don't ya think?

Drudge reports Trump wins PA.

HARAMBE AVENGED!

zzyzzx:

Utah and Wisconsin were NOT previously called for Trump.

Utah was JUST called for Trump.

Wisconsin, nor Arizona have been yet (he'll win them, though).

p.s. Congratulations to me (I only missed Nevada):

Trump.

Revolution is in the air, driven by largest block of angry, formerly disenfranchised voters in modern-American history.

Trump will get MANY votes of those in their 40s, 50s and 60s who've not voted in many, many years (maybe decades).

It's Brexit on steroids, driven by many of the reasons cited by Michael Moore.

It doesn't hurt his odds that Hillary is an utter piece-of-shit who causes even most Democratic-affiliated voters the need to hold their noses.

Biggest surprises:

1) Trump will win 80%+ of male vote.

2) Hillary's "massive" edge with women will fizzle into less than 9% advantage.

3) African-Americans will only cast 70% of the # of votes for Hillary that they did for Obama in 2008 or 2012.

4) Millennials will not turn out in anywhere near the numbers that they did in 2008, and those who do will vote in surprisingly large numbers for Jill Stein.

5) Trump will win North Carolina, Michigan, Nevada, Arizona and Pennsylvania (in addition to Florida & Ohio - he'll win by double digits in Ohio).

Trump will destroy the evil & corrupted globalist. it will be the biggest upset ever.
a few has-been and nobody-cares celebrities will leave but oh well.

Hey, anybody order this Evan McMuffin? Nobody seems to want to claim it.

Why is there a delete button on your posts?

I know. I'm in Florida and I could have voted twice in the time these states are taking.

Congrats to freespeechforever (really).

You called this, in terms of dynamics & states, closer than anyone I know IRL or in the media.

PA senator Pat Toomey re-elected.

@Patrick
Every post has a delete button. i clicked on a post not mine and got the window to "really delete?".
Meltdown??

Agreed, Great call.

AP calls House and Senate remain Republican. Trump effect! Republicans had way more senate seats up for grabs and Democrats couldn't flip them.

I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature.

How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people?

If I could make you purtier, I would.

Michigan is taking forever because of Detroit. They are disorganized, clueless fucks.

Trump will win Michigan, so it's moot. 87% of Wayne County is in and Hillbama can't close the gap with the 13% reaminingnprecincts to report.

It's truly unreal that Trump won Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, North Carolina, Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, and maybe Pennsylvania, etc.

Trump has done better than most Republican Candidates have done in ages. Bush 2004 didn't do this well...

He's won. Even CNN talking about what a dt presidency looks like. Anderson trying to look nonchalant.

I'm running around putting up old postcards with my huge MAGA erection glue gun. And I had sex this morning. This is truly re-energizing.

Trump should thank Debbie Wasserman Schultz for his victory. She's probably the single person most responsible for Trump becoming president, followed by Edward Snowden.
