Say it with me: President. Trump.

It appears that Mr. Trump gets a promotion based on the all-but-final results (pending are MI and PA which he is leading in with most of the votes counted).

Do you think Hillary will concede tonight?

    Absolutely, BostonTEA. Also worth observing that the Hildebeast didn't have the character to speak to her loyal acolytes to tell 'em to go home, but she was awake enough to call and concede.

    From everything I have read (and we now know, once again, how accurate these polls and surveys are...) Johnson pulled votes from Hillary - but also pulled votes from Trump. In many places the pull
    from likely otherwise Hillary voters were higher than Trump. I have seen no "analysis" (or detailed second guessing) that shows how the vote might have split without Johnson in the mix.

    I suspect it will be hard to make a clear case that the Lib. ticket affected any specific electoral result. (Subject to change ! since many were within 1%).

    Hillary was able to make the 3 am call to concede (I'm sure someone had to wake her up). BUT she was not able to receive the 3 am call to save the men at Benghazi...

    The media were the de facto Department of Information--and I do not mean "Information" as in "Technology." In fact the media behaved exactly as Rand portrayed them in Atlas Shrugged.

    Brother and sister, you asked for it!

    I also thought all of the sheep would flock to vote for HC...and I was pleasantly surprised to be wrong. The best coverage I saw was around 10:30 EST when the news anchor turned to a panel of democrats to ask them how they felt the election was going and they all looked like someone had shot their dog. Not one person on the panel could form a complete sentence in response.

    I think the Hamiltonians thought the commoners didn't deserve to have any part in it. Jeffersonians would think the election process and corrupt corporatocracy today is shameful.

    And this is the way the original founders of this land thought our choice for a leader should be completed? Lesser of two, three, or ? evils?

    Yes, O is fired! None too soon.

    And I'm giving Trump a clean slate as well.

    I don't agree with a wall. Too much money and I think they will still find a way around it. If people who come here illegally are prosecuted and sent home we don't need to spend money on a wall. I agree with the rest though. :)

    Hillary was going to bring real pain. I didn't vote for Trump. But I was sure she was going to win and remain sure that she was going to bring severe pain in several different forms. Tom...our choices weren't very good...

    Well, I lost some bets. I honestly thought that the mob boss with the trail of bodies behind her could not- would not ever be defeated.

    Look at how the media kept telling us she had it in the bag. My favorite part about last night was when the news kept showing those long-faced fascists at her headquarters all staring up at the screen with tears rolling out of their puppy-dog eyes. I still can't believe what I was seeing...

    Hillary is pure evil, guys.

    Just to add, I do agree that the US is in a fiscal mess, but is this really the guy you want to have control over the money? A lousy businessman who has filed for bankruptcy numerous times, refuses to honour contracts, pathologically lies about everything and refuses to tell anyone just how much money he has? Christ, he lost money owning a casino! How is that even possible?

    Doesn't matter though. Americans knew all this before they elected Trump and were in complete denial. Ayn Rand would be contemplating moving back to Russia, since you elected Wesley Mouch. Good luck.

    Those damn dirty foreigners. Where would America be if you had let in millions of people leaving their old country for a chance of a new life in the USA? Good thing that never happened.

    You're right - we're in a world of shite given we've made our borders transparent and doubled our national debt in less than the eight years of Our Dear Leader, The One, Barack Hussein Obama (mmm, mmm, mmm...).

    I read about the concession about 15 minutes after Shrillary made the call.

    Regarding Gary Johnson, it would be interesting to see the analytics behind which voters he drew. I would have guessed he drew Republicans, but perhaps not. I'm sure someone is out there parsing the data as we speak.

    at least he's a question mark on a variety of important issues...that more than HC would have been.

    I'm willing to give him a clean slate until he proves me wrong.

    I want to see HC prosecuted.
    I want to see a wall
    I want to see government spending dramatically reduced without taxes being raised.

    I suspect none of these will actually come to pass. Even so, its his to prove that he's more than a "personality."

    At least O is out. H isn't in. And there's a chance both the worthless shits will be held accountable.
