Florida, Michigan, and NC and he wins.  It's going to be really close. What a disaster.

This election is going to be a disaster regardless which of the two major candidates wins.

The fact that it's even close is horrifying.  This is the guy endorsed by the KKK and Nazi's and he's a **** hair away from the White House.

"Horrifying" is too weak a word to express how disgusted I feel about the results so far.

Fivethirtyeight is down to 55% Clinton now that they've given Florida to Trump.

What I find funny is I work for Marriott and 99% of the people I speak to aren't even from the South let alone Tennessee and every single one of them I've spoken to but 3 (which were Mexicans or married to one) have all been for Trump and the polls are saying the same but this group here all seem to hate him.

Looks to me like you all better get over it.

A Trump win would be a disaster.  But at least a Trump win would be less of a disaster than a Hillary win.

Rubio holding on to his Senate seat was a pleasant surprise.  But Johnson holding on in Wisconsin is an absolute shocker.  Is it possible that Hillary could actually lose this thing?

I just don't understand how anyone could think Clinton is more of a disaster than Trump.  Literally every bad thing you could say about Clinton you could also say about Trump.  He's a liar.  He's been on trial a lot, so I don't know how you could call her a criminal and let him get a free pass.  He's bragged about his ability to sexually assault women...even Clinton's husband hasn't bragged about that.

But Clinton has qualifications--she has been First Lady, New York Senator, and Secretary of State.  Trump...well, he had a successful reality show.  He got Vince McMahon's head shaved at Wrestlemania 23.  He made at least one appearance on Access Hollywood.  Not sure how that makes him a better candidate.

Depending entirely on what Trump we get.

Both Clinton and Trump are despicable people.  The only difference between them is that Trump is less likely to continue the destructive policies of Obama.  And is much more likely to appoint decent Supreme Court Justices than Hillary.

In addition, I would much rather have Trump in charge of foreign policy than Hillary.

Unfortunately, Trump is going to hurt our economy, at least at first.  After hours futures trading have already lost me about a year's income, and he isn't even likely to win, yet.

Trump is a racist, a demagogue, and a misogynist.  You own that when you vote for him.

The biggest problem I see from all this is that the country is strongly moving in the direction of a populist electorate.  Trump is a pure populist, and Sanders came close to defeating Hillary with his populist views.
