PA is on a knife edge, if anything Trump is marginally ahead.

The map I'm looking at has Clinton in the lead. *shrug*

And the Congressional races are going to shit as well. The last thing we need is a Trump presidency with an actually compliant Congress who won't check him.

Something worrying (IMO) is that. even if Clinton wins, it doesn't look very likely that the Dems will gain control of the Senate. So even with a President Clinton, you are likely looking at several years of a 4-4 split Supreme Court.   :-(

Again, a state she was supposed to win all along. PA is part of her "firewall". Right now I think it will all depend on WI and MI. If she loses FL, she might still make it with wins in MI and WI, but without those two...

All sources I'm following at the moment has Florida called for Trump. I don't think, judging by what I'm seeing, that she can recover from this.

Even with a hostile Congress Clinton has proved she has the stones and intellect to work the system and push for what she wants.  She's done it before.  She can do it again.

Provided the spawn of Satan doesn't win.

Florida, Wisconsin and Michigan look good for Trump putting him on a projected 268

Okay, I'm going to try and make a cup of tea and harness what little optimism I have left.

One map I have has her catching up in Michigan and Wisconsin, potentially regaining Iowa and then having a fighting chance in New Hampshire. Assuming that she keeps Washington and the current lead I'm seeing in Nevada stays in plays, I think this could turn around still.

Looks like Clinton did get much of the latino vote, and boosted voting numbers there, but not the amount of the female vote she would need, especially not among white women.  :-(

This election is going to come out every bit as divisive as the campaign was.

In other news, the ballot meassure to legalize marijuana passed in California.

I have a nagging suspicion that a lot of people will feel the need to take advantage of that even before it has been written into the law books.

A lot of people are feeling that way right now. 

I foresee a great American wasteland and a country that becomes nothing but a joke in the world bigger than we were when Bush Junior was POTUS.

Wins in PA, Mi, and WI. I think unless she can nab all three of those states she's toast.

A miracle.

She needs to win Michigan and wisconsin while keeping maine pennsylvania and nevada.

America is making it's voice heard now. They have chosen bigotry and misogyny. They would rather follow a rapist than a woman. They have chosen to follow a snake oil salesman who tells them that their problems are not theiur fault. It is the fault of immigrants and muslims and crooked politicians. They have stood up and declared that the age of reason is dead - long live the age of slogans and rhetoric. We are watching the death of democracy. We are watching the disenfranchised and uneducated hand over the reins of power to a madman.

There is no place for intelligence and decency in this country anymore.

Cassandra LeMay

So right now we are looking at the Republicans holding the presidency, the House, the Senate, and a conservative majority in the Supreme Court.

It will be hell, but maybe seeing what Trump and the GOP will do with unlimited power will turn the American people away from them for good. By the time it happens, a lot of damage will be done, but it's about the only silver lining I can see in how things are developing right now.
