2016 Election Coverage: Aka Every Way You Look at it You Lose.

[zitothebrave]

Drumpf projected to win Indiana and Kentucky (shockers)
Shillary projected to win Vermont (shocker)
Rand Paul and Tim Leahy projected winners in the SEnate.

[zitothebrave]

Drumpf wins WV
Scott and Portman win senate.

[weso1]

Florida is very close. Clinton leading, but panhandle still to report in.

[weso1]

Trump just took the lead in Florida while still missing some panhandle counties.

[Krgrecw]

Trump just took the lead in Florida while still missing some panhandle counties.

Are the panhandle counties more democratic?

[weso1]

Are the panhandle counties more democratic?

Lots of reds there.

[zitothebrave]

Are the panhandle counties more democratic?

Nope, the exact opposite. They usually are huge numbers for republicans. Which is why florida is interesting, Trump will win the most area but will hillary keep it close enough that she can win the state with places like Miami-Dade and Palm Beach?

[weso1]

Important to point out that Rubio way out performed Trump in Florida.

[zitothebrave]

Important to point out that Rubio way out performed Trump in Florida.

Rubio would probably win the election if he was the nominee. Hillary has been abused and only reason she's still a shoe-in to win short of a Trump miracle is that he's the worst presidential candidate maybe ever. Only thing he has going for him is Charisma. Literally indicted for rape and fraud and going to court.

[zitothebrave]

ANd with Indiana projections of Young over Byah the Reps chances of holding onto the Senate are better than the odds of the dems taking over for sure.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Time for me to join the party. Whoa baby, Florida is closeeeeeee

[zitothebrave]

And 538 now has the reps chance of holding onto the Seanta at 69% which is about what I saw.

[weso1]

Just based on early results it does look like Trump will at least do better than Romney did.

JODY AVIRGAN 8:36 PM
As I told Clare in our video chat a few minutes ago, all the exit poll data so far has made me really despondent about the state of our politics. The gulfs are widening along gender, education, class, and urban/rural divides. This is, of course, nothing new — we’ve been talking about it for months — but I suppose Election Day is turning into a big, clarifying, heartbreaking reminder.

[zitothebrave]

ABC News projects Reps retain House.

[zitothebrave]

Florida passing medical marijuana

[Carp]

Florida is down to one county looks like. Extremely tight race.

[zitothebrave]

Florida is down to one county looks like. Extremely tight race.

Florida won't be called til every vote is counted and recounted. Cause you can bet your ass someone will call for a recount be it Shillary or Drumpf.

[Carp]

Florida passing medical marijuana

Good news for them. Should be legal within the next 4 years I imagine.

[CrimsonCowboy]

That area in northwest Florida from Pensacola to Panama City is heavily Republican. That may be pushing the state to Trump

[acesfull86]

Good news for them. Should be legal within the next 4 years I imagine.

Haven't seen anything yet on the recreational weed races, but I'd be surprised if California and Massachusetts didn't pass.

[Carp]

Things could get really interesting if Trump takes VA, NC, and Florida. I wouldn't have expected him to pull even 2 of those a week ago.

[zitothebrave]

Haven't seen anything yet on the recreational weed races, but I'd be surprised if California and Massachusetts didn't pass.

Mass is really tight right now. Maine is IIRC projected the more likely of the 2 to pass based on polling but in a state that small, who knows. I hope Maine passes legal pot, would make it easier to convince my gf to go to Portland. Will also likely lead to way more cops on the NH border looking for people coming in with weed. NH is for sure the last New England state (though Rhode Island may win) that will legalize weed.

[zitothebrave]

Yup. Shows just how ****ty of a candidate Shillary is if she can't be a racist, sexist, unqualified, belligerent, orange buffoon.

[CrimsonCowboy]

I am real surprised Virginia is as close as it is right now

For real. I almost want her to win, simply for the fact both candidates are super likely to be 1 term Presidents. And whatever party they're attached to is going to feel the backlash.

Well that, and all the stuff you said as well. Why couldnt Gary Johnson be invited to the debates again????

[zitothebrave]

Some news media now calling Florida for Trump.

Way too early from 538

Watch Broward, Palm Beach, Miami-Dade and Hillsborough Counties in Florida for signs of a Clinton comeback. Especially Broward, which has been slow to count today’s votes; nearly 30 percent of people in the county are African-American. Obama won more than two votes for every one won by Romney there in 2012, and Clinton is leading by an even bigger margin in the southeastern county among votes counted so far this year.

[zitothebrave]

I am real surprised Virginia is as close as it is right now

I'm not, Hilalry sucks and before Obama it was a routinely red state. Obama had the charm and charisma t oturn the maybes. Clinton doesn't.

[sturg33]

Wall street not happy right now.

[The Chosen One]

Amazing.

Trump leading North Carolina, Ohio, Florida, and Virginia.

And closing the gap in Michigan.

[acesfull86]

For real. I almost want her to win, simply for the fact both candidates are super likely to be 1 term Presidents. And whatever party they're attached to is going to feel the backlash.

I'm content that the most likely outcome is she wins the Presidency and the GOP takes the House and Senate. That's probably the path of least potential damage. Hope for gridlock and a reboot in 4 years.

[CrimsonCowboy]

I'm not, Hilalry sucks and before Obama it was a routinely red state. Obama had the charm and charisma t oturn the maybes. Clinton doesn't.

Maybe, but I expect Hillary will overcome Donald when the northern Virginia counties come in. I will be stunned if Trump hangs on there

[zitothebrave]

Wall street not happy right now.

Why wouldn't they be? If Hillary wins they get someone on the payroll in office.

if Trump wins they get one of their own in office.

Win-win for them. Infact they were the winners because the oil interest candidates that usually dominate the Rs were blown up in the battle that Trump snuck in and won.

Hilary is the wall street candidate... she is owned and corps know that.

Trump is a loose cannon and as fas as I can tell, isn't a slave to corporate interests.

Even if you despise the candidates, this is fun. A presidential election is almost sports.

Yup, basically Dems best bet seems to be winning NH and NV and holding onto PA. Only the latter being likely.

[weso1]

Amazing.

Trump leading North Carolina, Ohio, Florida, and Virginia.

And closing the gap in Michigan.

I would be shocked if Trump wins Virginia, but if he does then he doesn't need Nevada or New Hampshire according to my math.

[The Chosen One]

Said all along Trump has outperformed polls.

And that Hillary doesn't have the charisma,popularity, or "It" factor Obama has.

Can't say I'm surprised Trump is performing this well, not sure if he's gonna win but man this is crazy to watch unfold live.

[zitothebrave]

Hilary is the wall street candidate... she is owned and corps know that.

Trump is best friends with many of the guys running the place. He may not be bought by them, but you can bet he owes them somethings or there are somethings they know about them.

If Trump flips Michigan... what's the math after that?

What channels are you guys watching?

Foxnews here

[The Chosen One]

This really wouldn't be happening right now if Grandpa Bernie or Uncle Joe were top of the ticket.

[The Chosen One]

What channels are you guys watching?

Foxnews here

Turn into MSNBC every few minutes to hear what some of their guys think and to see the long faces.

Watching CNN because their graphics are much better than MSNBC. MSNBC used to have the best election graphics on screen but now they changed colors and format and it looks terrible.

[CrimsonCowboy]

[weso1]

If Trump flips Michigan... what's the math after that?

It opens up a plethora of paths for him.

[sturg33]

Biden kills him... Bernie I don't know about... A regular republican would crush him due to him being a socialist... But he does "come across" more trustworthy than Trump so he may have had a chance

[weso1]

What channels are you guys watching?

Foxnews here

Flipping between all three is the way to go.

[The Chosen One]

It opens up a plethora of paths for him.

Well he's not winning California, Oregon, Washington, or Hawaii.

So what about Colorado, Penn, Nevada, Minnesota?

[weso1]

I think it says something that they haven't called PA yet, but they have called Georgia.

[sturg33]

Trump crushing the popular vote too... a ****ty start to the night for the establishment

[The Chosen One]

Biden kills him... Bernie I don't know about... A regular republican would crush him due to him being a socialist... But he does "come across" more trustworthy than Trump so he may have had a chance

Well, he attacks better than Hillary.

Hillary's attacks on Trump have been weak. They've tried to get him to self destruct instead of attacking and attacking.

Bernie would counterpunch better than Hillary did in a debate, if it were Uncle Joe it'd be no contest.

[weso1]

Well he's not winning California, Oregon, Washington, or Hawaii.

So what about Colorado, Penn, Nevada, Minnesota?

If he pulls off a huge upset in Michigan, Penn or Minnesota then it would be a huge shock if he wasn't president. Just hard to believe that it wouldn't translate across the country.

[The Chosen One]

I think it says something that they haven't called PA yet, but they have called Georgia.

I'm going to flip Georgia in 16 years.

[acesfull86]

That's true...I'd vote for Bernie before I would ever root against the Mets.

Detroit Free Press calling Michigan for Clinton

[Carp]

Bernie or Biden easily (and I mean easily) beat Trump. Trump's platform at this point is essentially "At least I'm not Hillary." Aside from the wall and Muslims, when is the last time he spent a good amount of time talking up his platform?

[The Chosen One]

Hillary's people said they were preparing two speeches for her, so they obviously knew this was going to be a long night.

[weso1]

Burr just called in North Carolina for US senate. Huge win for republicans. All eyes in New Hampshire. Republicans likely to hold senate for at least 4 years if they hold this election.

[sturg33]

Dow futures down 400 points

[acesfull86]

Over 40 million votes have been counted so far for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton to be President of the United States. Is this real life?

[zitothebrave]

Bernie or Biden easily (and I mean easily) beat Trump. Trump's platform at this point is essentially "At least I'm not Hillary." Aside from the wall and Muslims, when is the last time he spent a good amount of time talking up his platform?

He doesn't have a platform. He's a hollow candidate. Bernie would eviscerate Trump. Some would not vote for him because of being a socialist. But the people who are voting Trump because he's not Hillary would likely back Sanders because he's not Clinton or Trump.

[weso1]

I'm going to flip Georgia in 16 years.

Maybe, but you might regret it by then.

[sturg33]

The fact of the matter is that both candidates are facing the only candidate either of them could possibly beat

Trump being given a 95 percent chance of wining Florida now. Would be a huge win for him if it stays.

[cajunrevenge]

Hillary polled +20 in every poll.in the primary in Michigan and lost by 1.5 to Bernie. With Colorado Hillary was exposed as being against legalization in every sense in the emails. So I won't be surprised if either flips to Trump.

My goodness.

NH Will go to the wire. And realize that Trump and Clinton both will do well. Sanders would have dominated the state though.

Looking at the key states. Only a few that Clinton is battling trump in do I think Sanders may have lost to Trump. Pennsylvania being one.I think he more than makes up for it by locking down Michigan, I think he could have Flipped Florida to be tight but in his favor, and I think he wins VA and NC.

[weso1]

796178414705090560

I think I misread your post. My bad. I meant to say maybe as a dem you'd regret flipping it to R in 16 years because you may become an R.

[CrimsonCowboy]

No shock here, but Clinton has pulled ahead in Virginia.

[zitothebrave]

Trump leading in Wisconsin. GOOD GAWD O'MIGHTY

And important thing to remember is a lot of time the places that get the votes in first are more rural places aka places where less people have to be counted

That's why despite having the lead now, 538 gives Hillary an 84% chance of winnign Virginia.

[acesfull86]

The weed votes all close. Cmonnnnnn weed. Oh, there's a presidential race going on?

[The Chosen One]

Everyone else calling Reps for the house now.

Don't think we had a chance of ever taking the House back, even in a Clinton landslide.

[acesfull86]

Has a vote been counted for Johnson yet? Any chance he gets to 5%?

[zitothebrave]

Don't think we had a chance of ever taking the House back, even in a Clinton landslide.

Dems may never get the house back because they lack the ability to win the mid-terms. They need to mobilize people in midterms to have a prayer.

[The Chosen One]

Interesting that they haven't called Florida yet.

Hillary still isn't out mathematically, but it's all but over.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Fox has called Virginia for Clinton

[weso1]

Virginia now called for Hillary. A not surprising, but critical win for Hillary.

[zitothebrave]

Has a vote been counted for Johnson yet? Any chance he gets to 5%?

I hope so. With 1.5M votes and about 3% already he's surpassed 2012 which is huge. Stein may surpass the 1.2M Johnson got in 2012 depending on how the west coast shakes out.

[CrimsonCowboy]

Virginia now called for Hillary. A not surprising, but critical win for Hillary.

Huge sigh of relief for the Clinton camp

[sturg33]

HRC getting 93% of DC votes to Trump's 4%...

[zitothebrave]

Interesting that they haven't called Florida yet.

Hillary still isn't out mathematically, but it's all but over.

It's not though. They're not calling it for a reason. All the places Trump was expected to win except one are all in. Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach are not. The 100K or so votes Trump has a lead right now could easily flip in Broward alone.

[zitothebrave]

HRC getting 93% of DC votes to Trump's 4%...

Nope but Trump is that scary to registered Democrats. That being said Democrats rely much heavier on independents in these elections than Reps.

I don't believe their algorithm, fwiw. Hillary is still favored to win, but it may only be by one or two small population states.

From what I'm reading, there's about 5 percent left to be counted and Hillary has a good amount of ground to make up. Of the votes remaining, she likely needs two votes for every 1 trump vote.

[cajunrevenge]

I think these early Trump reports are fabricated to get out the vote in the Western battleground states.

It should be clear that the crony capitalists support HRC

[zitothebrave]

MAybe. But realize that when they call states it's based off a **** ton of things from previous voting records and exit polls and tons of stuff. You don't see these get flipped too often anymore. It can happen, but I think it settles with Clinton winning by a percentage point or 2.

[Carp]

And they're in areas she has about a 2-1 advantage over Trump. No one is calling Florida yet for a reason.

I rather doubt she holds a 2-1 advantage much of anywhere in FL.

I trust 538 implicitly

You realize its only called states on 538? when they call Florida, it is gonna to swing.

[sturg33]

Honestly electoral math still looks good for HRC...

But I give a lot of weight to the financial markets and the betting markets.

And they're pointing to Trump now

[CrimsonCowboy]

What this is showing is how much many Americans cannot stand Hillary Clinton. She may still win, but she would not be a popular president.

[acesfull86]

Nate Silver says 60% HRC...seriously considering betting on her if the betting markets are really swinging that far in his favor.

[zitothebrave]

That looks like a big ask right now.

Indeed. Losing Michigan would be huge. She'd have to win NC or FLorida then. Her losing Michigan isn't as bad as Trump losing Florida whic Basically would sink him, but it's a threat.

Trump still has to win Nevada and NH if he doesn't pull off a shock in the midwest.

[zitothebrave]

You realize its only called states on 538? when they call Florida, it is gonna to swing.

Correct, and when they call Pennsylvania it will swing. And Colorado, and Virginia. Right now the numbers are based on all probably outcomes. Trump got a big boost on Michigan being too close to call. With that in mind, calling Florida will for sure help him, but an Ohio flip which could happen would hurt his percentage.

Nope.

They don't like Clinton. Crimson hit the nail on the head. Clinton isn't mobilizing voters as well as Obama did. She's losing big in many places Obama dominated.

Which is a stunner

[zitothebrave]

With VA to Clinton 538 gives her the electoral edge. With NC being so close if it's not projected I think they move it to too close to call status as well which will likely benefit her.

[acesfull86]

I'm still fairly confident she's going to win, but the drama is fun.

[sturg33]

Seeing the meltdown on twitter from the arrogant smug libs is entertaining.

And I'm a little tired of seeing that "half the country voted for racism and sexism"... enough already

Going to be a wild four years.

I'd put his odds of serving 4 years at about 5%. Someone will off him or he'll be impeached in no time.

She's in YUGE trouble in Wisconsin. RUT ROH!

Trump has a pretty commanding lead in NC currently. About 5 points with over 80 percent reported.

Whether or not Trump wins or loses, his kids are now positioned to become legitimate political candidates going forward. Here's a guy who is seriously flawed and he came within a state or two of winning the presidency. His kids are more disciplined and they've got the same name recognition.

Fox projects North Carolina for Trump

[weso1]

Trump wins North Carolina.

[Julio3000]

I agree 100% with Crimson. There's an anti-Clinton vote coming in from the hinterlands.

FWIW, I'm with Zito that a President Trump doesn't finish a term.

[acesfull86]

Where's 57?


He's sitting back waiting to say I told you so...HRC still going to get the W tonight...the people on Fox need a pants change right now but people are jumping the gun

Trump is going to win.

[cajunrevenge]

Hillary nearly lost the election in Virgina. Won by a hair, would be over if she lost that. Hillary didnt win the Michigan primaries. They heavily campaigned there the last few days. That will be her Waterloo.

[gilesfan]

Now Hillary is starting to lose ground in Pennsylvania.

[CrimsonCowboy]

[zitothebrave]

For Hillary she needs to win Michigan, PA, and Wisconsin. If she wins those 3 it would take a lot for Trump to win. He'd have to take NH and one of Maine's votes. Which he could.

Realistically though, PA and Florida are the ones to watch. They're the ones that Hillary and Trump can't afford to lose. One of them taking both of those states basically seals the election.

Seeing some calls for Trump and Florida

[Carp]

Florida called for Trump. Michigan, NC, and Wisconsin all trending Trump right now.

[gilesfan]

Trump takes Florida. Looking good in Wisconsin and Michigan. Gaining ground in Penn with areas outside of Philly.

[CrimsonCowboy]

TV pundit in shock right now

[keithlaw]

Trump takes Florida. Looking good in Wisconsin and Michigan. Gaining ground in Penn with areas outside of Philly.

NYT gives him a 64% chance at taking PA

[The Chosen One]

Zeets can't get over it, but most of the major Blue spots in Florida are nearly finished counting.

It should have been called for him a while ago.

[keithlaw]

Nate's shine has definitely taken a hit this year... he blew it on the primaries big time.

To his credit, he was the most favorable to Trump for the general... but he still had it at only 35%

[weso1]

Nate deserves credit. He recently had to defend himself against a leftist who said it was a done deal for Hillary. Nate Silver insisted it was Hillary's to lose, but still close.

[gilesfan]

But, he doesn't say 100% so I don't see that it's too much of a hit. Logic says you aren't winning everytime even if odds are 65%.

[acesfull86]

The drama is absolutely NOT fun.

Frankly, I'd prefer she wins, but the spectacle is really something.

[sturg33]

Disastrous night for Dems no matter what happens. R's keep the stranglehold on both houses and may even win the presidency.

Michigan or Wisconsin for Trump would make him the odds on favorite to win. Basically whoever carries 2 of these 3 (assuming Hillary wins PA) wins the election most likely.

Also legal weed is ahead in both Mass and Maine.

When you don't care who wins bc you know we're ****ed either way... then it is fun

If you believe in free market economics and it's at or near the top of your priority list, you've have months to digest how ****ty this election would be. I've been hoping she would win while GOP wins Senate and House, we'd get four years of status quo/gridlock, and maybe the Reps would learn their lesson and at least nominate a non-populist next time around to pick off a weak, beatable HRC. It would be satisfying on some level to see the country give an eff you to the establishment, it I'm under no illusions that a Trump presidency would be good for me or the people around me.

[zitothebrave]

Still not sure if a republican win for presidency is good for the pubs or the dems.

Losing to Trump would almost certainly shock the Democrats out of nominating another Clinton. I'd guess another Obama type would be put front and center like a Booker or someone more charismatic. This election is clearly showing the all flash can win. Trump is all sizzle but no steak, and he's winning against someone who's been working for decades to become president. It's really sad.

[gilesfan]

NC in. 538 has Trump with 61% chance.

[cajunrevenge]

Anyone else left that thinks Hillary wins?

I will believe Trump wins when its 100% and not before. This is like rooting for Reitsma to save a game.

I'm hopeful a Trump wins will shatter the two party system

[zitothebrave]

With NC off the table, Clinton can't lose PA, Michigan, or Wisconsin. Michigan it looks like she will win, but Wisconsin is concerning.

Whats sad is putting Hillary on the ticket. A slime ball that has worked the system for years to get nominated. America is saying **** THAT. How bad of a candidate do you have to be to lose to a reality tv star? LOL

Might be the only time we agree.

And Hillary supporters can't blame Johnson for this. Trump is outperforming her with or without Johnson in most battlegrounds.

Plus, I don't think any GJ supporters were going to go to her anyways if not go to DT.

[gilesfan]

Trump is now favored to win PA, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Did Hillary bring Dan Kolb in to save the game?

He's flipping Rust Belt counties like crazy.

Win, lose ,or draw, I am really interested to know what Hillary's concession speech says. Its been reported she had 2 speeches written so I know it exists. I would say the same for Trump but I doubt he even has a speech prepared.
