2016 US Presidential Elections | Trump Wins

[unchanged_lineup]

I truly feel like I'm in a matchday thread.

 

[langster]

Feck me, this thread was amazing a couple of hours ago, and has been for over a year. Now it's like the mathday threads. Complete buzzkill.

 

[sullydnl]

People saying that Nate Silver was right are fools. He still predicted that Clinton would win.

 

[Dobba]

Get Rashford on.

I truly feel like I'm in a matchday thread.

Look what I posted literally the exact same time as you.

For who ?

Sorry, Hilly. I've not seen anyone giving it to Trump yet, but even the fact they've got Clinton only squeaking through is surprising.

 

[Raoul]

Broward can still turn the Florida count into HRC's favour.

48% counted in Broward and she is up in that county by 252k. If you extrapolate that to 100%, then conceivably she should come back. However, I don't quite trust that CNN's numbers are up to date.

 

[cyberman]

I'd argue they have a counterproductive effect actually. Millionaires telling simple folk how to vote never pans out well.

There's a story that came out after the rally that Beyonce didn't even know how to vote, she didn't realise she had to get in line with everyone else and thought she could send in her lacky with vote in hand.

 

[Carolina Red]

My god, if you win the popular vote by 4% but lose the EC, then yeah... Maybe it's time to scrap it.

 

[bazalini]

Won't be long till Putin is on phone congratulating Trump

 

[Raoul]

Sorry, Hilly. I've not seen anyone giving it to Trump yet, but even the fact they've got Clinton only squeaking through is surprising.

Clinton will still win this, but feck me what a shit show.

Sometimes I think democracy is utterly pointless without mandatory IQ testing.

fecking spot on

You clearly don't understand statistics, probability or modelling.

There is no way trump is going to become president. Seriously, don't worry about it, it can't happen and it won't happen.

Think positive FFS

 

[altodevil]

Feels like you know what all over again. Trump might not win but what a massive late surge.

 

[Ubik]

61% chance on NYT tracker, fml.

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

Remember on election night, we saw 'Tory majority' go from 5/1 to 2/1 then odds on, then suspended. Same thing on Brexit night.

If Trump takes this, political polling and predictions will be truly meaningless - relegated to the realms of astrology.

This is a nightmare, I would hate to be a moderate American right now.

Compulsive viewing (I still think she'll take it).

You're right though, if he somehow manages to win, then polls will forever be considered absolutely useless.

 

[Red Defence]

Clinton wins Conn (Clinton 104 Trump 130)

 

[Ramshock]

how is anyone supposed to have a wank tonight after this??

I did it before just in case.

Offside ffs

 

[Winrar]

Broward can still turn the Florida count into HRC's favour.

I don't know... some counties have flipped red, notably pinellas. (next to hillsborough)

2012

2016

 

[Chip]

60-40 % on NYT now. Was about 85-15 a few hours ago. Worrying to say the least. This really cannot be happening

 

[Kaos]

There's a story that came out after the rally that Beyonce didn't even know how to vote, she didn't realise she had to get in line with everyone else and thought she could send in her lacky with vote in hand.

Well there you have it. They should have stayed home and shut up.

The only endorsement that was really worth anything was Bernie's, and that still looks like it might not be enough.

Those % are totally fecked.

 

[King Kendrick]

I'm amazed that there's so many people voting for Gary "President of Mexico" Johnson.

 

[Giant Midget]

how is anyone supposed to have a wank tonight after this??

Think of Ivanka.

 

[Silva]

how is anyone supposed to have a wank tonight after this??

Using their tears as lubricant.

 

[donkeyfish]

Offside ffs

 

[Ubik]

Oh god, Michigan is trending Trump.

 

[marukomu]

Clinton should win because Lady Gaga likes her, and we all like Lady Gaga, don't we?
Feck her politics. It's not important.

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

Ladbrokes has Trump at 5/4

 

[Revan]

Virginia is now just 70K votes for Trump. Even if Hillary wins it, it will be marginal. And it was supposed to be a quite sure state for Democrats.

 

[berbatrick]

A quick check reveals that Trump has outperformed his RCP average in every swing state barring NH. He leads NV there. If the pattern holds, it is between blue NH and president Trump.

For what?

 

[unchanged_lineup]

I don't post in the matchday threads. I do not want to be in a matchday thread

 

[Baxter]

6-4 now on betfair exchange for Trump.

 

[Giggsy92]

Wonder when we'll get the crossover...

 

[bosnian_red]

Studying for exams so haven't had the chance to follow it but what's it looking like? Hillary to make it through? Squeaky bum time yet?

 

[Cheesy]

My god, if you win the popular vote by 4% but lose the EC, then yeah... Maybe it's time to scrap it.

The extent to which 4 or 5 states are determining a national election is a bit embarrassing - it's essentially going to come down to Florida if he wins.
