You know what the worst thing I've read tonight here is? That Spicy put his portfolio in order counting on this, and still voted for Trump.
:huh: He voted for Gary Johnson.

@HVC It's ok to marry foreigners as long as you're 'Murican.... right, The Donald? :sleep:

Yeah but he trades in a new model more often then some people do with cars.

Still not over, guys.  I swear, I voted Johnson.  I took a pic of my ballot-- that's legal in Ohio I think.

So I have been following this online, and not on TV.  Is there any word if there are any concession / victory speeches forthcoming?

Just as I predicted, Lebanon Co., PA went massively for Trump.

If only the Democrats were half as corrupt as they are portrayed, this never would have happened.

MSNBC said just this second that there is 0% in from Lebanon Co. :hmm:

No one cares who you actually voted for or claimed to have voted for.  We all know what you're being a smarmy jackass about.

CNN shows 98% of the vote now in there, with Trump @ 65%.

Yeah, Fox's website had it.  MSNBC just sucks I suppose.  :P

And Michel Aoun has the rest, so no help for HRC

Okay, so I always figured myself as a smart and experienced political operator.  I was a Campaign Manager twice - once Federally, once provincially (we predictably got smoked each time as each time we ran against really strong incumbents).

One of the things I was taught, and always believed, was that a "ground game" was important.  Identify your vote, get them out to vote on election day.

That was one of the things Trump scoffed at - and one of the reasons I thought he would lose.  He had no ground game, no GOTV effort, nothing.  Just the power of earned media and his celebrity.

I guess maybe I was wrong about what I thought was important in politics.  And maybe Trump, as stupid as he is, was right. :unsure:

That's a trifle obscure a reference for 12:47am EST...

Yeah, I wasn't slightly saddened by Languish's failure to comment on the return of Zombie Aoun, not even a pip from CdM.
