So did a ton of people not want to admit to pollsters that they were voting for Trump or what?

We can confirm that polling was indeed drastically wrong. So, hey, you get to see the historic election where it turns out polls and GOTV are completely and utterly irrelevant.

Well, 4 years of Trump and full GOP control of the Congress will gently caress things up so much that 2020 ought to swing back hard to Democratic control. The question is, just how bad are things going to get after the next 4 years?

Doesn't loving matter what your groundgame is anymore. People listen to the media and the media peddles their stupid "truth is in the middle" slop. They do their best to make the election seem as close as possible by making both candidates look unfavorable.

Clinton is leading by only a percentage point in Wayne County, Michigan. That�s a county Obama won by 48 percentage points. Either that result is wrong, a lot of the vote in Detroit (which is in Wayne County) is out, or the map is looking very different than it used to.

So I posted earlier asking if anyone seriously thought if Trump would win and that it was basically impossible.

... Man I was wrong.

Also, America, what the gently caress is wrong with you? Take a nap because you are clearly drunk.

This is all fine. Everything is still fine. Rural areas always come in first and the urban areas will turn this around. I have to believe that right now

VA isn't actually close. The remaining vote is entirely in sections of VA where she's getting 60%+ of the vote.

60% is nowhere near enough. We'd need at least 85%.

Yah those worried about Virginia need to check this out. Been posted before but I have been watching since Clinton was down by over 2% and has been closing with 14% left to count.

9:30 PM: In case you're having a difficulty putting all these moving pieces together, this is now extremely close nationwide. Trump is running strong in many blue states. He could definitely win the presidency. I'm not saying that's going to happen. But he's competing in a lot of places that Clinton needs to win.
