America, will you disappoint this old black lady?

Legit wondering if Trump winning would cause her heart to give out.

Clinton's people talking to CBS have been pointing out that Dems freak every time because Fairfax County comes in real late. Virginia Dept of Elections site has her within 3,000 votes: http://results.elections.virginia.gov/vaelections/2016%20November%20General/Site/Presidential.html

She's still probably going to win VA, but not by nearly as big a margin as desired.

here's the problem, though. this is where they thought VA was going to be in her map:

if VA becomes that close, that cuts her off in...let's just say colorado. she loses.

VA at 90% reporting & 47.6% Trump to 47.2% Clinton

I hope they had a good ground game in Richmond.

Well, Virginia closed to within .3% (47.6% T to 47.3% C), but with 90% reporting. I guess it could happen.

I thought you said bacon there for a second, lol.

Seriously though, everyone complains about how horrible and vicious people on either side are getting and this post is a good example of that. Like, instead of saying "hmmm why aren't people voting democrat and what can we do to fix that" you're like: "those not voting democrat are sub-human scum"

And now Trump could actually be president tomorrow.

Please explain to me why people who vote for a nakedly racist candidate that has zero to actually offer aren't horrible garbage people?

And Hillary's main problem is being a woman who is assertive and that drew ire from every single right wing nutcase for decades and its hard to over come that. All you have to do is say some crazy poo poo over and over and people start believing it, and the media never ever challenged it openly, just blindly going along with whatever bullshit Wikileaks or some other poorly sourced site poo poo out.

Jesus christ 10k between Trump and Hillary.

People like to repeat that, but it genuinely doesn't mean anything. Case in out: the past three hours.

This was people who never recovered post-2008 telling DC to gently caress off. Regardless of who wins it looks like they got their message across. Now we all have to deal with the consequences.

Plus, you have ~50% of the country who automatically see red when they hear the name Clinton. It was an uphill battle no matter what.

I said a couple of weeks ago that the Clintons were the Brown Note for the Republicans. Consider tonight to be the confirmation of that.

Clinton winning the popular vote but losing the electoral college (per NYT right now) seems to fit our world.

Well hopefully this is going to be a Dewey Defeats Truman scenario. What does it mean for the future of the Republican party if this election is tighter than the 2012 election?

TRUMP DOESN'T NEED VA

He's winning NC, he's winning MI, he's winning FL, if the trends don't reverse NOW, he WINS.

NC is at 57% reporting, MI at 17%. FL is much narrower and I defer to other people, but there are very likely still a lot of people in line to vote in Florida.
