    Right, but they don't say if Donald doesn't win it, he's lost, LOL! Insanity:(
    The real insanity is how on Earth she could get so many votes.

    Clinton is ahead in New Hampshire right now by one-tenth of a percentage point. Meanwhile, Trump is almost a full percentage point ahead in Pennsylvania, almost two percentage points ahead in Michigan, and more than three points ahead in Wisconsin. Clinton is ahead in Arizona and Minnesota, and will probably take those states. No results are in from Alaska but I think it's safe to say that it will go to Trump. Maybe not. Maine is in play, but Hillary has a good lead. Trump will get at least one electoral vote though, because he beat Hillary in the 1st District (my district) by about eleven points.

    97% of the vote is in from Pennsylvania, which has 20 electoral votes. Trump has 48.6% of the vote while Clinton has 47.8% of the vote.

    Nevada went to Hillary, but look at how the state voted. Many states will be like this, as the Democrat votes are coming from the large cities. Most of the country is Republican. The Democrats hold the larger cities. That is why the electoral college is important or the whole country would be like that - only the more populous states would matter.

    It's not over yet but the news are starting to talk about Trump as the next president. Even Megyn Kelly is talking like she's been on his side all along.

    That isn't comforting. I don't understand the numbers well enough to see if I should feel good, or continue to sweat??

    According to states called thus far: Donald Trump: 264 electoral votes, Hillary Clinton: 215 electoral votes.

    He is going to win Alaska (3) easily. He will get at least one vote from Maine. He is a couple of percentage points ahead in Michigan (16) with more than 91% of the votes in. He is more than three percentage points ahead in Wisconsin (10), and he is four percentage points ahead in Arizona (11). New Hampshire and Pennsylvania are very close, but Clinton is ahead in New Hampshire (4) but Trump is ahead in Pennsylvania (20) by more than one percentage point. Trump only needs to pick up 6 of these to win.

    It looks like a win, but people have gone to bed a winner before only to wake up the next morning to find that things had gone awry.

    I'm watching the ABC news panel talk about how Trump is probably going to win this and how incredulous it is that they could have this so wrong.THEY JUST DON'T GET IT. Guess they can't figure out we the people are sick of business as usual at our expense.

    Nevada: The STATE is blue. Trump won't get any electoral votes from Nevada because the majority of its population voted for Clinton. My point is to show where these people live. Clinton won only in Reno and Las Vegas, but that's where the majority of Nevada's population is. Among people who live in the small towns and rural areas of Nevada, Trump was the favorite. When you look at a map that shows the country by county, you will see a map that is nearly all red, the blue spots being the major cities.
