Ron Johnson had been catching up in Wisconsin.  That pretty much clinches the Senate for the Republicans.

538 now has Trump as a 61% favorite.

Hilary is a criminal, a liar, and oversaw some of the worst foreign policy decisions in this nation's history.   Anyone voting for her must own that.

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

I agree.  Of course, he was running against a criminal and a demagogue, and a lot of people had to own that when they voted for her.  The above post was modified to include misogynist.  Look at how many people owned that when the voted for Bill Clinton, and again when they voted for his wife, who not only was his enabler, but actively attacked the women her husband preyed upon.

But this was the wrong year to run an elitist.  Sanders probably would have won for the Democrats.

The thing that's shocking for me is that Trump pushed normally Republican voters like br and me to Hillary.  I'm guessing people like Tico, Robb, and Curt vote for most other Republicans besides Trump. 

Of course, he's kept Republicans like DaveP in the Republican camp who detest Hillary even more than Trump, but to make up the loss of Republican voters like some of us ... I'm not even sure I want to go there. 

Sad sign for our country that it looks like we're heading down that road.  If Trump holds up in Michigan and Wisconsin, it might be a good two years for the Republicans, but I really hate what the future looks like if the GOP becomes the party of Trump and the alt-right people that have been building him up.

I would genuinely be happy to see her in a prison cell.... unfortunately, about the only chance that has of happening is for Trump to be elected.

Let us not lose sight of the fact that the odds are still in favor of Hillary winning tonight.

He still had to win either Wisconsin, Pennsylvania or Michigan.

Yeah I agree with jes.  It looks like Trump is probably favored to win at least one of MI, WI, or PA, and if he does that, he should win the election.

People didn't vote for Trump as much as they voted against Hillary.  I thought it would be the other way around.  Some didn't want a woman.  Some didn't want a Clinton, any more than they wanted another Bush.  Some seriously feel she is not trustworthy.  But the common people identified with Trump over Clinton who they see as an elitist.

Man, I never thought I would be sad that Hillary lost. 2016 is a really weird year for me.
