In your honest opinion, who do you think has the best chance of becoming POTUS?

[TheGlyphstone]

Imma look at emigrating to Australia. It'll be safer to live there.

[Tamhansen]

Looking at the voting statistics, it is yet again the baby boomers who caused this. Are they running some sort of 'worst generation in history' contest?

[Ariel]

Don't look at us. Brexit is destroying the UK economy so fast we might be switching to a barter based system soon, and we haven't actually left yet.

Let's all move to Canada. :P

[Sara Nilsson]

the biggest problem I am seeing is that he will have no prob appointing a supreme court judge that will block progress for quite some time.

I still can't believe it, guess I am just slow but dammit it all looked so good until a few days ago. Ah well.. hopefully I will get my citizenship so I can vote in the next one.

Actually, I'm blaming the millenials, and everyone else who voted third party. I have said for over a year that a third party vote is a vote for Trump.

It was actually looking fine until about 10 PM Eastern!  Then there was this crazy surge...

[Iniquitous]

Oh sweet Gods... the dollar is losing value already.

Hello recession. It's so not nice to see you again.

As did I. But... they didn't seem to care. Go figure!

Guys, we should promote this:

http://www.nationalpopularvote.com/

http://www.longisland.com/news/11-08-16/cuomo-legislation-nys-national-popular-vote-compact.html

Thus we could end the Electoral College system and have it be all about the popular vote. It does require state legislators to join it.

[Trigon]

But honestly though, the Democrats blundered pretty badly by rallying around an "Establishment" politician. I think whatever happens, the upcoming president will be a one term president, and after that either a revolution or disintegration.

Consider solidly blue or red states like the Deep South, or New England.  States that were never really in question of which way they would go.  Would you blame them for voting third-party?

Sad thing is, I believe he is winning the popular vote.

[TheSithChicken]

He is. America is electing who they want and I have never held this country in more contempt than I do right now becuase of it.

[Orval Wintermute]

There are states that went for Trump by fairly small margins, how much of a difference did the e-mail farce make to the early voting and the final result?

[Pumpkin Seeds]

Hate to say but the FBI may have decided this election.

[Chulanowa]

The overwhelming bulk of third party votes went to Gary Johnson. They cut into Trump's numbers, not Clinton's.

[Sara Nilsson]

that last "investigation" that lasted a few days probably did yes.

[WindFish]

What the actual fuck? You had one job, America.

Unless Trump does a complete reversal, look for a very tough four years, America. Say good-bye to all the progress you made and say hello to racism, misogyny, and bigotry becoming the new normal. Fascism and the loss of civil rights will creep up like never before. Don't say you weren't warned.

In other news, the Canadian Immigration Services website has kept on crashing tonight. I wonder why.

I also suspect a good number of pollsters will be out of a job tomorrow.

*expects to see an exodus to dwarf the one we saw last year in southern/central Europe*  :P

[Lustful Bride]

Sadly funny and appropriate.

I am ashamed of my country. I did not believe it was so racist and misogynistic. I literally feel sick to my stomach.

It's not, it's careless, it's unempathetic, it's human.

Humans are petty animals, they only care if it's personal. Thats true of all of them.

cue calls in Canada to build a wall along it's southern board and make the US pay for it

That's nonsense. I personally know many people who voted against their own interest as they believed it was in the interest of society as a whole.

The people who voted for Trump have no legitimate excuse, and shouldn't be given one.

;D

[Tamhansen]

Projections now calling him to win MI WI PA and NH. That puts him on a solid 288 with AZ and AK
