DOW Futures down over 700 points or 4%. Of course there'll be those who will say it shows that the global financial elites are rightfully scared of Trump.

Florida called for Trump

Coffin, may I introduce you to another nail.

I was playing with the numbers, and if Trump doesn't win Michigan it gets dicey for him. He is going to lose the left coast (California, Oregon, Washington, and Hawaii) - the late game heavily favors the dems.

Of course if he somehow pulls out Pennsylvania that is game over.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

If there's one thing to learn from today it's the uselessness of exit polls.

The regular polling was terrible as well.  :hmm:

Traditional unsolicited polling has been dead for a while, what with the disappearance of landline phones.

BBC coverage hits a new low, something along the lines of anchor say "these results are not what the Clinton camparign would want".   :hmm:

I just hope he is not interested in foreign policy and leaves that to someone capable.

That's been my worry - even with a R-controlled Congress it's still tough to get legislation passed (look how much trouble Obama had with healthcare in similar situations).

Foreign policy though?  That's all the executive branch.

Global financial elites?  There's nothing elite about the modern fucking economy.  Just because Trump wants to bring back 17th century Dutch mercantilism doesn't make the markets elite.   :lol:
