and look it’s a brand new clean thread!!!
I just ate my way through a bag of Kit Kats. I’ll probably die tonight from sugar shock.
I know what you mean. The more I watch these results the more I get crazy. Hillary will not lose.
There are worse ways to go.
I’ll die from a panic attack!!! I’m exhausted. Michigan is making me crazy now!
There isn’t any point in panicking. There’s nothing we can do but wait. But the number of people voting for a third world dictator doesn’t say much for our country.
For sure, and that is never a good thing. Back to the days of head knocking.
I agree BB……This is what it is and we’ll know what it is soon.
Thanks, Dak. I decided to turn off the TV. They were making me crazy.
i am baffled by what is happening. I do not understand.
Me either but it appears our country is far more misogynist/racist than we thought.
Yes. WTF. Had no idea there were so many fucked-up voters. Damn the MSM to the lowest level of the Hell realms.
Damn James Comey.
BB, I keep listening to Jake and Wolf, and they have all this shit about republicans have had ground base for years………and it’s showing in the polls. Really, like the FBI. We know that is exactly what happened.
I keep thinking of all the decades the media has demonized her and there they are – oblivious to the shitstorm they’ve created. It’s like Alfred E Newman – Who me?
The Trump voters hatred for Hillary is pathological. They have lost their minds.
I had more faith in the American people. I always believe good will triumph.
Urban areas report late because huge number of voters and fewer machines.
Trump has Ohio.
I can’t believe it!
Oh, no.
That’s not a surprise. If he wins PA, then we’re in trouble.
She’s winning PA…. but MI is a problem!!!!
Detroit Free Press has already called Michigan for Hillary btw
Michigan and Minnesota have not been called on TV yet. “Too close.”
I’m not doing well. Are we gonna lose.
I don’t know, JJ. Dak says trust the math. Math was always my worst subject.
CNN: Clinton197 Trump187
NYT: Clinton188 Trump187
It’s not over ’til it’s over.
VA for H. Okay, I’ll stop complaining about Kaine… for now 😉
Colorado just got called for H too.
Still ready to vomit but our girl is hanging in there.
I’ve run out of ginger ale. It usually helps my stomach.
Hold hands, sing together. I’m still staying positive. And the TV is off for now!
I keep telling myself this cannot be happening. But it is. I never thought the public at large would honor this man in the end. They did.
All he did , along with his corrupt surrogates, was lie, lie, lie. And this is his “reward”‘. The nation on a platter.
It’s just insane!
Pat, look at your last sentence…corrupt and lie, lie, lie. What he constantly shouted about Hillary and the media never commented!!
They didn’t want to get the facts!
We’re experiencing the Comey effect. Hold tight and let the ship right itself.
This kind of shit has been going on for years when it comes to a woman seeking the highest office of the country. They know who Trump is, they are paying big to get the supreme court!
Yup.
It’s the Misogyny Wall meets Nazi Wall. She’s still hanging in despite the fuckery but it sucks.
It does, but she can just barely get the votes. Then King (CNN) is saying nothing is encouraging now for Hillary. Talk about pissing me off.
The media has created the biggest frenzy in this election, than any other that I can think of. They gave Trump free media 24/7 for over a year.
Oh for sure, the character assassination of HRC is on all these talking heads’ heads.
I am so sick to my stomach.
Hill won Colorado and Utah looking very promising!
And Virginia………….This election is seriously ULGY.
If she wins Nevada that would be huge.
I should have bought a whole box of those St. Jude candles. They were only 47 cents each.
Tweeted from Joy Reid:
sorry, not sure why it’s so big…..
Big is okay. It’s important. Thank god for Joy Reid.
She’s behind in MI, WI, and NH, Holding out hope but it’s slipping away.
Oh my god. This can’t be happening.
NH, what the hell happened?
That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you guys for days.
Yikes. Swing state firewall not going too well. This country couldn’t really have enough dementors in it to put a dogpile in power. Could it? 😯
It appears there’s more than we thought.
Toomey and Ayotte are losing, right? Senate looking good.
Ross lost in NC. Bayh lost and Rubio won in FL. So far the only add is in IL. I hope Russ Feingold wins, but we need at least 4 wins.
fk Feingold lost to Ron Johnson – what is wrong with these people???
Feingold, too? WTF with Wisconsin?
Evan Bayh lost what should have been a cakewalk. He lost to a guy who’s a ringer for Elisha Cook, Jr. in “I Wake Up Screaming” but lots creepier.
Even my cat has gone into hiding.
Beata, don’t panic please. Not yet time for despair. (I know, I know.. I’m an optimist… can’t help it.)
I am just so scared. As a disabled person, I will have no value at all in Trump’s America.
It’s not his America yet. We will panic IF he wins. For now be kind to yourself…stress is not your friend. You have value to all of us. Let’s keep hope alive.
Anybody who’s not a white male multi-millionaire has no value in Trump America. But I’m going to work as a healthcare provider in the underground network we’ll have to create.
Trump will never actually govern. That will be Pence’ s job. The anti gay anti female, anti education, 1 percent tax reducing, military interventionist.
Unbelievable. America as we knew it is doomed.
It hasn’t happened yet. Breathe.
Wait till you see warfare in the streets with poor people. There goes our social security, and there goes health insurance for the poor. Cut back on food stamps for the poor, and send them to the churches for hamburger and pregnancy counseling.
And the churches of Pence say “the wages of sin are poverty.” Bastards.
It will be the end for me.
Don’t say that!
Goes to the liquor cabinet….. which is only a temporary solution. Breathe, repeat.
We know what’s coming. No more insurance for poor, and screwing up urban cities.
Hillary is ahead in electoral vote now thanks to CA, OR and WA.
C’mon MI – C;mon Detroit!!!!!
Yesssss! The Left Coast!
I said before that CA, OR and WA are the horizon. Thank you, West Coast!
Kamala Harris wins the Senate seat in CA.
Good one, she took Barbara Boxer’s seat.
Pbs said nc to drumf.
I am fucking sick…
What the HLL is wrong with Georgia counting the GD votes. We’re the only state with no paper trail either I think.
I know…right?
The Obama years are over. McConnell and Ryan will push their hateful agenda and the lunatic will have his filthy fingers on the codes.
Not a good thing to be a liberal with this crowd.
What is going to happen to us Pat?
It won’t be good. We have seen this man and his cohorts in action. Bad for gun control, immigrants, blacks, Muslims, gays. His cohorts are equally bad.
The horror of it all is closer to reality.
Bad for women too.
what the heck is going on???
Apocalypse Now?
Are we looking at an American Brexit? Wall Street is running for the hills.
Shit. Should have cashed out my IRAs. There goes the retirement I thought might be survivable.
They regret it, and I’ll tell you what, if Trump wins, this country will regret it too. And I mean big time.
Jake Tapper, nobody ever saw this happening, we had no ideal…………Really, got James Comey.
He blames it on Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren, and not on James Comey.
It sounded more like tapper was blaming it on not making Bernie the nominee. Predictable narratives…
It indeed was Comey and the mainstream media who never called him on any of his lies.
If more had been like Joy Reid, we would be in a different place right now!
Trump just dropped in Michigan, drop by 22,000
Detroit numbers coming in?
She is closing in on him, and Detroit is coming in……..please be big.
Drop, you orange heartless toddler-brained micro-digited sorry excuse for a human. Drop into the leaking sewage pipe under Trump Tower.
Com’ on Michigan. Com’on.

Obama are gone. Climate change gone. The Iran treaty gone. Social security gone. This is what hate has given us.
Unimaginable that this much hate produced this man as the leader of the free world. Generations are lost as a result.
Everyone who can will flee the country.
We will regret it, they will come begging us to help them, and they steal everything we ever worked for. They got their guns, they want the Supreme Court more than anything in the world.
Now they are talking about how the sanders people are going to blame the clintons and ifwe had just gone with sanders it would have been fine.
Yeah, where did I see, “don’t blame me, I voted for Sanders.”
Fuck Bernie Sanders and all his brogressive misogynists.
Has Minnesota been called yet?
It’s looking beyond dismal.
As long as we are opening veins, just think, if Hillary loses we will not see another woman leading a major party ticket in our lifetimes.
PA, MI, WI, MN, IA, AZ, UT, NV, WA and ME still not decided.
New thread.
