    And the anti science anti any sort of social progress party will end up with the Senate, house and presidency the way things are going.

    I saw 'I voted' for Trump by gay voters on twitter.

    A lot wouldn't want the White House being used as a brothel, which it seemed to be when he was president.

    Trump is going to be the next President, he is breaking the firewall in Michigan leaving Clinton with only two paths to victory, neither look likely.

    I would presume some Latinos did as well. I don't get it but many people will shoot themselves in the foot.

    This is it. Not just Trump but full power Trump. Say goodbye to pro-choice clinics, goodbye to not judging people by their race, goodbye to science and hello to religious beliefs over actual scientific facts.

    And they will do so knowing they have the backing of the majority of people. :(

    What's a "pro-choice" clinic? Call it what it is - an abortion clinic.

    One of the most disgusting things about this is the horrible way people think her staying with him was a huge negative. That you list that says a heap about you.

    Do you think everyone that was cheated on deserves that to be labeled as a negative?

    Oh, get off your high horse. You COMPLETELY misinterpreted what I said.

    I merely said it will be part of her legacy. Not my opinion of her. The campaign has focused a lot on her relationship with Bill. I can't control what people will think.

    These are such things people, her American people, associate with her and will forever more. Its the nature of the beast that is American politics. If you can't see that you are blinded.

    Why are people predicting such a huge tip in Trump's favour now? Is Hillary that far off winning the 270 votes and is Trump that close to reaching the magic number?

    There won't be a huge tip. It will be 270 something to 260 something.

    Since WWII only once has Ohio's choice not won the election. All hail President Donald. Long may he reign in infamy. :D

    Yes, an abortion clinic. A place where women get to exercise autonomy over their reproductive health, unless a religiously-motivated nineteenth-century-fixated regressive political party dominated by old men decides that they can't be allowed to do so.

    What's that got to do with anything? I was referring to the "sexual predator" post.

    James Comey deserves to be excoriated, if not prosecuted for Hatch Act violations.

    I am not fans of either, but if I was American I would have voted for Trump because Hillary Clinton is a neocon and a proven warmonger. Putting her in power was far more dangerous for the world,she even talked of going into conflict with Russia in Syria with her no fly zone.
    Imagine...Assad has given Russia permission to help him out, and Hillary has basically said she would have Russian planes blown out of the sky over her no fly zone.
    It was a disaster, and maybe like the Cuban missile crisis, a major disaster has been averted.

    No one elected yet though

    Pre Election based on Polls, Clinton had the most paths to Victory.

    But If votes stay as they are now, Trump has the most paths.

    Clinton is losing some big swing states, and Virginia where she was expecting a 4% win, it was neck and neck.

    it's not over, but based on Polls it is not going according to plan.

    There is also more that just the President up for grabs. REP have the house and are on course for the Senate.

    She's won Virginia and Colorado and will win Iowa and Pennsylvania (by the votes counted so far). Nevada still hasn't declared, either.

    There's still a way to go yet.

    Options for Trump open up massively.

    But its not over just yet She still has more paths open.

    Deadlock not as much now unless Utah goes 3rd party

    NYT giving Trump an 87% chance of winning with ~290 electoral votes but Clinton winning popular vote by 1.5%.

    If he wins either Michigan or Wisconsin he wins.

    It's safe to say the big winner of this election is Nate Silver.
