Watching Fox News right now; the Canadian News starts covering the Election at 9PM EST.

The CBC coverage should be livestreamed on YouTube.

I'll post a link later if the CBC islivestreaming in case anyone wants a little bit different Election experience (they're extremely Liberal and want the Democrats to win but their coverage is excellent and not so party partisan as the U.S. Election coverage).

I think these people truly believe she IS the best person for the job. When claiming she isn't, it certainly doesn't help that her opponent is Trump...

It's actually pretty moving. Over 7000 people have visited Anthony's grave today -- right through the rain -- and over 1000 are still waiting in line there. My friends, colleagues, neighbors, and students -- all clamoring to thank the women who helped give them the right to vote. Nothing to sneeze at there.

I'm watching 2015 world series game 1 DVD. Much better than anything on regular tv. Plus, because of the Election, no new THE FLASH tonight.

We have had the right to vote for a long time now. What has Hillary Clinton accomplished that makes her the best person for the job? How can she possibly be the right person? She is a globalist and an elitist who is very good at cheating and not telling the truth. Why does that make her a good role model for women? She doesn't seem intelligent and appears somewhat lazy.

We already know how this one ends. They checked the box for black last time. Trump will have the lead until the end, CNN will brag about how the election is within a few hundred votes, implying that your vote actually matters, the media outlets will string it out a long time for effect, then Hillary will prevail. A victory is not good enough. There needs to be an emotional curb stomp at the end for being so dumb. Check the box for female. They probably already know a Hispanic will win the next election. It will take a few elections before another white male wins, but he'll need to be gay or Jewish. Be a good minion and check the box.

Not a bad system.
The more checks, balances and people involved through the process, the better and more secure I believe it will be (So the speed of it is still of concern, should be more value placed on accuracy and ensuring the integrity of it for the people), it's good you still have a paper ballot though, and do the State keep the paper ballot? Incase of an error and the need for a recount?

Not all the States are like that though are they?

In case anyone wants a little bit different Election experience, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) News is livestreaming their coverage of the U.S. Election (they're extremely Liberal and want the Democrats to win but their coverage I think is excellent and not so party partisan as the U.S. Election coverage).

And now for something really different.

I used to live in Illinois where dead people frequently vote. Now I live in Indiana where I voted for a dead person today. One of our county commissioners died recently, but is currently running third in an election where the top three candidates win seats. Under our law if the dead person wins, his party caucus gets to pick his replacement.

lol, common, I know your smarter than that gracepoole

For some people (I would guess a minority) they may be there for the right reasons, the reasons you mention, but one can't deny the political ploy of it.

I also find it a bit ironic for Clinton supporters, considering Clinton is for abortion, which not only kills many women every year, but also allows for selective abortion, which kills women because they are women. They do the same with IVF and choosing genders which Clinton also supports (They won't say it out loud, and they will pretend to have laws against gender selection, which are not enforced and are really unenforceable with their abortion policies and IVF).

I hope this has helped

God Bless You

Thank you for reading

Obama has not been a good president.

Because the popular vote would give you what you wanted? Gore would have been present, not Bush.

What are you suggesting as the alternative?

4.9

Sorry, I am tired of people ignoring this statistic. You may not like it, but it is based on the same numbers used under the Bush years. And if you look at the range used, it is ridiculous. How many 16-17 year olds work full time? How many 65-70 year olds are in the work force(and should they?).

Guess what. Baby Boomers are leaving the work force. Rather than hire Americans, big corporations would rather off-shore. Why pay Americans reasonable salaries when you can pay less elsewhere (of course you get what you pay for). And they get tax credits/breaks for this.

I was going to write in the candidates for the Solidarity Party, but New Mexico statues were apparently drafted by Benito Mussolini and I'm not allowed to do this. I left the presidential ballot blank (I'm in a blue state either way) and voted Republicans for state elections.

If I was in a battleground state I would have voted Trump. It looks like he will be the next president, which is the better of two undesirables. May God bless him and grant him wisdom & charity in his office.

I hope you're right about Trump, but remember Hillary could steal the swing states still and has the automatic West Coast landslide in the end.

Win or lose for Trump, this election is clearly not going to be the blowout that many in the media on the left were reporting. A lot of people expected the race to be over by now.

I don't think we could write it in in my state of Arizona either. Is it American Solidarity party
led by a Catholic or am I confusing it with another party?

According to the version of the Internet I'm looking at, Trump still leads in Wisconsin, Virginia, New Hampshire, and Michigan, and Ohio looks to actually be pretty safe right now.

The strategy was to swallow up a few of those Rust Belt states that have been gradually turning redder in recent years and it looks like it succeeded. The blue West Coast won't mathematically topple that if Trump wins enough of them.

People talk a lot about the growing minorities and their tendency to vote blue, but they ignore that the Great Lakes region has lost its place as a Democrat stronghold in the past decade, and Great Lakes demographics have higher turnouts.

The Solidarity Party is a fiscal centrist / socially conservative party. The president & vice presidential nominees are both Catholics with large families.

This is what a day of reckoning looks like.

Hillary never knew she'd be beaten by one of her billionaire "friend." How delicious.

People familiar with Trump could not vote for him.

If NY, his state, born and raised, doesn't go for him, that should tell you something.

Yeah they both aren't qualified for presidency. I didn't vote Trump or Hillary. I lean slightly with Trump only because I think he will keep us where we are. Our nation won't likely get any better, but it likely won't worsen which is a good thing. Again it's a slight leaning but it is what it is.

This is the quote I would use for it if Trump & Pence were to win (Which I very much hope they do) -

1 Corinthians 1:26-30
26 For consider your call, brethren; not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth; 27 but God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong, 28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, 29 so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. 30 He is the source of your life in Christ Jesus, whom God made our wisdom, our righteousness and sanctification and redemption;

I hope this has helped

God Bless You

Either I'm ignorant of Google results on elections or it looks pretty clear that Trump won, or there's a bunch of inner city districts that are waiting till the last minute to show their results.

Pretty much every battleground state is showing Trump in the lead.

I knew from the start it would be a close race and that the pollsters don't understand the people's thirst for change. It seems now that Trump may win. But whoever wins, let's all hope and pray the new President is an effective leader for our country and, together with Congress, the Cabinet, and advisors, will get things done which benefit the American people and the world with peace and prosperity.

Pence is a wonderful choice: really shows trump's ability to hire the right people, which is what he touts anyway. He knows talents and knows how to use the right people not political hacks.

PA is one to watch, but if I'm reading the NYT site correctly, Philly and its suburbs have been counted, but not the traditionally Republican strongholds in the state.

Hopefully don't forget the west coat landslide at the end. And several swing states still in the air. Very very close! A real nail bitter!

Remember the obvious states don't matter. Trump is winning almost all the swing states plus a couple blue states. He's winning.

I agree about her health. Trump has worked very hard since the Republican convention. His campaign finally pulled together. he worked hard for the country and for the American people. He spoke to many Americans-they liked his message. Trump just won Utah.
I wonder if we will get a winner announced tonight.

It is honestly funny to hear them almost backpedal to try and explain the results so far. All those disgruntled rural voters they weren't counting on, it must be all the rural folks...

Yes, but too too close. Michigan, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Nevada are still really close. But Pennsylvania, Minnesota and Iowa are going blue almost definitely.

Well I think it has to do with the fact that better than the alternative maybe, Trump is still quite liberal. Easier for some too switch over that way.

lol, I'm watching a link to live election coverage (Provided by a poster earlier on this forum), you can tell they aren't being biased when they are saying nonsense like "I think it's time to see that the majority of Americans are unable to accept a woman president" and "Trump is doing so well, because this is white supremacist last stand"

My goodness, with comments like that it's clear these people have no idea.

I just can't get over how stupid the main stream media is, they acted just as baffled with Brexit, same with our elections.

Brexit had nothing to do with the economy, which I guess is why they were baffled, it had everything to do with the refugee crisis, and anyone raising serious and legitimate concerns they dismiss as racist and bigoted and whatever other name under the sun. Same thing is happening here I believe.

It just goes to show the general public have not been fooled by all the propaganda that has been leveled against them for some time now (Thank goodness).

I hope this has helped

God Bless You

A slim 0.4% lead for Mr. Trump in Michigan so far; but Detroit and its suburbs need to be counted and they're heavily Democratic places.

Candidate Trump needs Michigan to win; not looking good.

White blue-collar workers were not paid enough attention to by the Democrats. Suburban Republican women came home as well. And the millennials who supported Sanders instead of Clinton may not have even voted. Besides, Clinton's ethics have been more than suspect for quite a long time. But most of all, the people are forever searching for a candidate of change, removed from the establishment: in Jimmy Carter, in Ronald Reagan, in Bill Clinton, in Barack Obama, and now in Donald Trump. And that same public can be merciless if they don't get what was promised to them during the campaign.

Pennsylvania has always been a lost cause for Republicans since 1968 when Nixon narrowly defeated Humphrey in this state. I thought Trump was leading in Michigan.

Correct and NYT is projecting him to win (but it's not called for him). For PA Philly and Suburbs came in early. It's now the Republican stronghold counties being counted and this is going to tip it into the Trump column.

That doesn't make very much sense. States with 1-3% margins aren't lost causes. Philadelphia is performing at barely above 80% for Democrats, which is actually not so great for Philadelphia.

I don't think PA will go Republican this year but it's still going to be highly contentious 4 years from now, especially with those urban areas having limited population growth.

I think Reagan won PA both times, and GHWB won it once as well.

I think it also went red in 72

I think the polls can be explained away by my favorite bumper sticker of 2016:

VOTE FOR TRUMP (No one needs to know)

Many people were fed up with the system but not willing to tell a pollster how far they would go to protest the situation. Maybe some people voted in protest thinking it would not matter because of the polls. Political scientists will be publishing on this election for a long time.

What's taking so long. The west coast is tallied, Pennsylvania, Maine, New Hampshire, Wisconsin,Minnesota and Michigan should have been earlier than west coast.

I've been gone for quite awhile but watching the returns I had to come post. As much as I'm not a Trump fan, I did end up voting for him because I didn't want Clinton to win. If he does win ( and it looks like he has a good chance) I hope he does a good job. It's going to get interesting if the Republicans also control the house and senate as is predicted at this point.

When I was in high school, 2001-2004, I heard a lot about the pending inevitability of a Democrat America in the not-distant future because of changing demographics. It's 2016 and we're about to have a Republican president, Congress, Senate, and I believe a majority of Republican governors.

My intuition is telling me that polls are inaccurate because of the shame/guilt factor. Conservatives are more bashful about their ideology on average than liberals and are more fearful to speak up. So, when it turns into the anonymity of the vote, there's going to be a little higher margins across the board for the conservative candidate.

In Indiana race for US Senate Democrat Evan Bayh, once thought to be a heavy favorite, loses big. The ads were nasty and frequent for both candidates, but for me, being the deciding vote on Obamacare destroyed him. He made no defense at all for his position on that issue. Todd Young was far better on the life issues, although Bayh was very much a fiscal conservative for a Democrat.

I don't know. While I do know a few avid Trump supporters IRL, by far the vast majority of the Republicans I know and talked to IRL only voted for him because they didn't want Clinton to win. I was one person that was polled repeatedly that stated in the polls that I wouldn't vote for either of them. It wasn't about being private, it was just that I really didn't think I could bring myself to vote for him. My husband said he heard the same thing from friends and coworkers. They said they didn't for Trump, they voted against Clinton.

So is Hillary. I will end up liking Trump if he wins as much as you will like Hillary if she wins.

However I did put Democrats down when they said Bush wasn't their president. Did you do the same with Republicans about Obama?

I am an American, no matter who our President is. I hope you, as an American, feel the same.

You will grow to like Trump because he'll serve the office with dignity and success, not because he's won enough votes. Hillary is too corrupt to govern well.

In all of Clinton's years in politics I've never seen her behave in a unifying manner. Ever. She puts down people who disagree with her and looks down on them. She thinks she knows better than they do.

BBC is not calling as many states as US networks are and their map is better -- shows electoral votes rather than just red/blue.

Btw, NYT has Trump 95% likely to win.

Take a moment to think that we may have a pro-life president with a pro-life congress soon.

Many people are rather ill equipped, ill prepared to speak of their faith ... many men particularly ... and as a non Catholic - Communion is a symbolic action .... and speaking about faith is a very personal thing .. fraught with risk . especially with new Christians and in front of a Camera - for the World and before a press that is less than friendly

So I did not fault his response the same way .. clumsy yes ... would I have responded the same way .. no

True story -

I had a daily Mass goer very devote Catholic lady [12 years of Catholic School too] fully initiated and intelligent about the faith ... ask me why we don't hear the bible at Mass like our Protestant brethren do [she also attends events, services and bible studies at both Catholic parishes and non Catholic Churches] ...

My response was what .. we hear multiple passages read from the Scriptures at every Mass and the prayers of the Mass are scriptural - from beginning to end the Mass is steeped in Scriptures .I asked what do you think the !st Reading, the Psalm, the 2nd Reading and the Gospel are if not the Bible?

She said - that is not the Bible - that is the Missal ...

This person really knew the Missal was the Scripture readings used at Mass ... her frustrations was that so many Catholics dont share their faith nor do they engage in religious education and scripture study with the same zeal as some Protestants .. and borrowed some of their language in her 'complaints'

If an educated Catholic can be that clumsy ... so can Trump

I am serious. I trust that God will prevail. While I admit I don't always get why He allows certain things to happen (which I in my great wisdom would never allow) I know I have to trust Him.

Republicans just clinched the House.

Probably the least surprising development of the evening.

However I did put Democrats down when they said Bush wasn't their president. Did you do the same with Republicans about Obama?

I am an American, no matter who our President is. I hope you, as an American, feel the same.
Well said sallybutler. By the way cola, chips and salsa and ice cream didn't help any better than wine.

http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/new...found-in-well/

We all know that it was individuals like this about whom Trump was speaking and not all immigrants Hispanic or otherwise ..

Similarly - the idea that refugees from areas that are hot beds for Islamic terrorism should be allowed in with minimal vetting and in huge numbers is also risking our safety ...

I have friends who are immigrants from around the Globe .. I am not anti immigrant .. I am against people illegally entering our country.

Dow Jones futures now down over 700 points. Guess who sold a lot of stock on Monday?

I think this will be temporary like Brexit for stocks and Christmas will be fine for my nieces and nephews. Finance people hate uncertainty and surprises.

Traditionally the markets have usually done well under Democrats.

No, he's got to win three of the four still with New Hampshire gone.

It's all up to Pennsylvania, Arizona, Michigan and Wisconsin. And they are within one or two percentage points!
