So it is who you like and not the issues at hand. I fecking love Roy Keane but I don't want him to be the leader of my country solely based on issues and temprement.

90 mins to first polls closing. Lots of states with heavy polling. (Sky)
I didn't see the details. For instance, recent grads?
I do too. That's what I've done. Don't say we're different on that just to imply I'm rejecting respectful debate.
People aren't shouting down the Trump fans in here though. I don't understand the sensitivity. Most of the frustration comes from someone making an outlandish claim or statement about Trump, and then when they're asked to back it up they disappear faster than @The Black Pearl in the CMO thread. Or post about what they don't have the time while continuing to post in this thread.
It's 20 mins to first polls closing.
By the countless tweets and articles over the months, i take it that Americans actually their pollsters to be on the money? Their counterparts in the UK have a rather patchy recent history. Sometimes it is good when they're wrong of course.

Black voters 87% clinton Trump 8%
worst for dems over at least the last 4 cycles!

Judging on the ads, It appears CNN's target audience is predominantly first class-flying investment bankers.
This thread is going quicker than a matchday thread!!
Betfair odds don't mean anything at this stage, the Brexit odds for remain were really short as well on the night. Then the results started to come in...
Could we get a pOll to see what channel everyone is watching. Just planted my arse down until 4am watching CNN & BBC.
have looked at fox so much but come off it tonight as they'll be blatantly pro Republican. Am I wrong???

8% for Trump?
Ok CNN is basically like sky sports news on transfer deadline day. Half expecting Jim White to pop out.

Hope ye have a permit lads.
Hope ye have a permit lads.Usually the odds on betfair are as good of indicator as any but brexit was about 1.1 on the day of the vote and we seen how that ended up.
Definitely think Trump will have a group of silent voters who won't say they voted him due to fear of being labeled racist. Similar to the brexit vote and also Scottish referendum.
On a side note, personally think some of the media coverage on the election has been disgraceful. The likes of BBC reporting on both candidates side by side and using a nice photo of Clinton smiling compared to a photo of Trump crunching his face up (yes I know it's probably a struggle to find a decent photo of him). Personally think we should be expecting more from an organisation that is supposed to remain impartial.

FFS Rooney is so shit.
Odds on Trump currently? Thinking about jinxing him.
It's not opinion hombre, it's the sense of decency, mutual respect and understanding and actually knowing shit. Piss off to Breitbart.com, you are ruining the child killing grandmothers election win for us.
latino vote is bad. only 65%-27% for clinton
Its them and the coach-flying rabble at the airport, and only one group has proper spending power.
I'm kidding, I'm kidding...
The exit poll showing 54% approval rating for Obama must be good news.
Thanks, must be my hearing.
I wouldn't have, were ex-pats not allowed to vote.
The idea that my French housemate, who's lived here for 3 years and wishes to stay here, has less of a say over the future of the country than some guy in Spain who hasn't lived here for years and doesn't plan to.

I'm calling bull on both that and the black number.
No need to wait on this one, you've lost you're money. His likely total will be 40-44%, even if he wins.
At the same time he gets these big crowds all the time...
Tempted to put some money on Trump. He'll most probably lose, but I've got a feeling the odds have moved too far in Clinton's favour on very little new information.
69% dissatisfied/angry with the Federal Government.
CNN on one screen, Fox and MSNBC on the other.
In fairness so are MSNBC. Syaing highly subject to change.
Please don't get freaked out by exit polls, they hardly ever tell the whole story.
Looking at BBC text updates and it isn't just CNN with useless exit poll data. Can add ABC into that bucket.
Real exit polls are only published once the real polls close
When will the Brexit comparisons die
Yes, providing they hadn't lived abroad for 15 yrs or more.
Its usually 60% on a particularly good day.
If Clinton wins
