I'm absolutely confident of a complete Dem landslide - the senate at the least - because Trump has made enemies of some very powerful, though not particularly vocal, forces in American politics - the wealthy, who fear an unpredictable anti-free-trade populist, the foreign policy community who have been the first to abandon him and every single minority group. Some in the FPC suspect him of being an unwitting Russian agent. The mainstream media are slowly but surely turning against him and the narrative is becoming more openly contemptuous and dismissive. He signed his own death certificate when he employed a racist anti-semite as his third and probably final campaign director. Women loathe him. He is held ransom by his fringe base, as any attempt to reach out beyond his extreme positions risks alienating them but he can't win without doing so.

And because Trump thrives on publicity he will constantly be in the news so that Republicans won't be able to pretend he doesn't exist and hope for a split ballot. The minitrumps have already been falling like flies, the endorsers will be next and even those who didn't speak out will suffer the consequences.

Maybe this is wishful thinking, but I'm not going to go to great lengths to defend this, I just wanted to put down my predictions somewhere.

I'm looking at what you wrote, and I see it.

The reasoning here seems sound.

He also was our Trump-centric Idiot King, who famously talks big but refused (until allegedly recently) to wear his MAGA hat outside due to a combination of cowardly fears that his neighbors might react negatively and nagging from his wife. Eventually ZDR got tired of his antics and took away his trefoil, giving it instead to Baloogan on the principle that a alcoholic Canadian malcontent who spends his working days knee-deep in literal feces would be a better fit for the role than a hat-phobic Floridian chickenhawk.

They'll hem and haw about it until the West Coast polls close, sorry Alaska and Hawaii. Unless she picks up Georgia, Missouri, Arizona, or Indiana, she's probably not going to officially clinch it until Nevada though. Assuming she only gets 347 EC votes, she'll be at 263 after Colorado and New Mexico are called.

Not to nitpick, but Baloogan is Canadian-American. He has dual citizenship.

I have had friends and family (we are all californian) say that they were gonna vote for trump.

Up until he cinched the nomination... one will vote for hillary and another is voting for stein.

I'm seriously planning on givng him a lot of poo poo on his support for an anti-vax candidate until he changes his mind. But he moved to colorado so maybe it's the weed talking.

I think the election will be called for Hillary before the polls close here but Trump will not give a concession speech until the day after

It wouldn't surprise me if he not only didn't do the customary concession call, but also straight up doesn't give a concession speech at all. He'll make vague, accusatory comments about "reports of voting irregularities" and threaten a lawsuit to contest the results for several days. Finally, he'll tweet something closer to capitulation than concession before going on to lurch between blaming a laundry list of non-Trumps for his failure and insisting that he actually won because now his issues are front and center. After he calms down, he'll announce a new media venture between himself, Ailes, and Breitbart, definitely a website but also perhaps a cable channel as well, to compete directly with those RINOs and CINOs over at Fox News. Then, his work completed, he will ascend to the top of Trump Tower to watch the world burn.

Yeah, even if she does pick up Georgia/Arizona/Missouri (lol that we're even talking about that possibility) the margins in those states will likely be super thin, and so we wouldn't get a complete count of the votes before the West coast would come in. Think 2008 North Carolina, and how long it took to verify that Obama won it.

"Don't ask me about my business Bill posted:

President Barack Obama gave the final go-ahead order for the mission that killed Osama bin Laden on Friday, April 29, 2011. That day, schedules show Clinton went to the White House for a half-hour meeting whose details have been redacted by the State Department and an hour and 25 minute meeting in the situation room with high level officials.

On Friday evening, she had a private dinner with then-congresswoman Jane Harman and State Department official Ellen Tauscher. The next day, Saturday, Washington officials who were in the know about the upcoming bin Laden raid were keen to keep up their normal activities, so as not to give any hint that something unusual was happening. The schedule shows Clinton left her home in Georgetown and went to The Hand Chapel, on the campus of George Washington University. There she attended the wedding of a friend of Chelsea Clinton's, Jacqueline Newmyer, who married Joseph Deal IV. Clinton was back home by 5:40 p.m.

The next day, Clinton left her home at 12:30 p.m. and went to the White House, where later that afternoon a staff photographer would take the famous picture of Clinton in the situation room with Obama and other officials as they monitored the raid. She stayed at the White House until after Obama addressed the nation about bin Laden's death, and returned to her home after midnight.
