Donald Trump

If Trump wins (and it's ~50/50 at this second) short sighted ignorance will have a short victory followed by all of us being completely fucked in the long run. Reminiscent of Brexit.

How about you wait until the UK actually exits the EU?

So when will Britain actually leave it?
For the UK to leave the EU it has to invoke an agreement called Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty which gives the two sides two years to agree the terms of the split. Theresa May has said she intends to trigger this process by the end of March 2017, meaning the UK will be expected to have left by the summer of 2019, depending on the precise timetable agreed during the negotiations.

Right now their status is "in, but promising to leave, and not even begun the exit process yet"... which when you think about it is a really stupid place to be.

Looks good right now. Crooked pollsters getting BTFO at least.

Damage already done but not exiting EU would make a mockery of democracy at this point. You can dislike and oppose a popular vote but you damn well better accept it when it happens. Or you can call it rigged and bullshit your way out of it I guess. I guarantee Clinton won't do that if she loses.

I bet she contests Florida. I don't guarantee anything; just a bet.

Looks like Trump has Florida in the bag. It isn't close enough to contest it.

Looks like an extreme likelihood that Trump wins at this point. Probably 90% chance he wins. And not just a Trump win, FYI. It's a complete rout. Republicans keep the house and senate majorities most likely. No stopping the chants of "build that wall, build that wall!". That wall will be a very real, physical object here shortly.

He's probably gonna win the popular vote as well, so this won't be a Bush vs Gore in 2000 type of thing.

Me:

PA is closing in. If it flips, it's ogre.

Man, the internet is gonna be an absolute troll's paradise for MONTHS if Trump wins. I got a GIGABYTE of Trump memes, locked, cocked and ready to go. Huffington Post, here we go. I'm hyped! It's gonna be complete pandemonium!

Actually I take back what I said about Trump winning the popular vote. It's looking like it might be possible he wins the electoral college while [Removed by Support] wins the popular vote. Honestly, I'd prefer that happens because the salinity levels will rise to a higher PH level. It will give them something to cry about. It will be Bush/Gore 2000 all over again where the left is in tears over winning the popular vote and still losing the election. Absolute comedy. I'm going to be thoroughly entertained for a long time over it.
