Let's give credit where credit is due.  There is a big winner tonight and there is no doubt who that winner is.

Nate Silver didn't do that badly either, considering.  I guess his tail wasn't too fat after all.

My sisters are posting from Infowars and Alex Jones on Facebook. :bleeding:

If you went to a well qualified professional, they might recommend disowning them for the sake of your own mental well-being.

Okay, so previously I had been told that Joe Manchin was totally in with the Clinton Machine (tm).  I'm hearing now from a close associate that if the Senate went 50/50, he would not be against switching parties.

On a scale from 1 to Caligula, how immodest will Trump's acceptance speech be?

Tonight is the 78th anniversary of Kristallnacht.  How fitting for such a blatantly antisemitic campaign.

Trump just pulled ahead in Pennsylvania  :lol:

Holy shit. I guess I'm gonna cash in on my bet, Yi.

Hell - this isn't the worst day this week so far for me (I had an utterly kick-in-the-nuts decision on a homicide that left the deceased's family yelling and swearing at the judge about the utter injustice of it all).

I know I mourned in lots of Canadian elections, including the election of the Not Ready For Prime Time Alberta NDP a couple years ago.  All of those elections were bad, but they're never as bad as you think they're going to be on election night.

Wanna bet?

If you can think of a quantifiable metric to measure "things won't be as bad as you think tonight" I'm game.

I'm not saying tonight is good news by any fucking stretch.  It's just not as bad as you're thinking.

The notion of America as a melting pot has taken a knock tonight, a big slice of the population don't like that and they mobilised in a way that the urban progressives seem to have failed to do.

Dems should have run Joe Biden.

Wasn't a Clinton.

Trouble is when Trump starts pulling out of trade deals (starting with NAFTA) and sending the world into recession it's certainly going to affect Canada... :(
