I love how disaffection is being cited as the key reason here. Couldn't possibly be that Hilary is just a bit shit. Surely Obama wouldn't have presided over this shambles had he been allowed to run for a third term?

Michigan back to blue, but the damage could be already done in Wisconsin.
Can I get in before they didn't vote for her because sexism or racism of some sort? Or have we done this already yet?
Hard to tell. Trump walloped his primary opponents as well, though. It could be that they're all a waste of space, but that is unlikely to be enough to draw out the high rural turnouts we've seen. When you consider that the midwest has suffered more than probably any other part of the country at the hands of free trade market forces, it's the obvious conclusion there, at least.Originally Posted by Yevrah
Well it's both, isn't it? An average Republican would have wiped Clinton off the map and an average Democrat would have wiped Trump off the map, let alone sometime people actually quite like, like Obama.
Karl Rove said both parties nominated the only candidate the other party could beat, and he's probably right.
I like it when 'anti-politics' is seen as existing in some sort of vacuum where nobody could possibly have good reasons to think everybody running the show is a dickhead.
Very little of that so far, to be honest. I think she was treated a bit differently in the lead-in because she's a woman, but I don't really see it as a factor in the voting tallies themselves.
Fuzzy memories of this election may screw over female candidates for a while though - even good ones.
I realise I'm harping on about a minor point here, but how have they only counted 65% of New Hampshire?
Yep, probably never better demonstrated by the seethe at Ed not getting in, despite the fact that he couldn't even eat a sandwich without looking like a pervert and was happy to stand in front of that obelisk.
I lol'd.
There's like seven people and the state could fit on a postage stamp.
Get them all in a room and make them do a show of hands. God.
That doesn't really fit with the 'anti-politics' theme though, since they kept the sitting prime minister in.
Yeah. Ed just sucked, but the Tories are the establishmentest establishment ever.
Fair point.
Then you can have your 'conversation with the voters', and your 'full and frank debate', before cracking on as normal. I suppose if you had any self-awareness you would struggle to function in bullshit world. That might explain it.
Arizona is Clinton's last hope.
An electoral college tie is probably more likely at this point.
The Facebook is rumbling:
Tell me this is a joke....I am feeling sick.
I thought Brexit was a disaster - but this...
Brexit is NOTHING compared...
What's happening to the world?
I'm not sure I'm going to be able to bite my tongue this time.
The shots of them crying. This brings back good memories.
I think that happens if the Democrats lose Wisconsin, win Nevada, win a special district in Nebraska, and lose one in Maine.
Quite possible (although you wouldn't bet on it). That'd be one for the books.
Get involved. And update us on what happens.
Oh shit, I just remembered there's ice cream in the freezer.
Australian stock market has fallen more than post 9-11
There is a bird on Sky News whose entire world has ended.
His cabinet is going to be amazing!
She is shitting herself about him abusing executive power.
The people who react like that are the ones who make all this worth it.
My entire world has ended a bit. I mean, not really, obviously - but I was ten when Obama was elected. I genuinely can't quite comprehend what tomorrow, or the next four years, are going to feel like.
You will be fine you big vagina.
Not seeing much crying, but the bitter snark on my social media is pretty funny.
You should see my Facebook feed.
My facebook feed is warming up.
@Spoonsky The Donald will just grab you by the pussy and you'll be fine. You Americans love that shit

Probably like that.

For fuck's sake.
Liverpool bottling it was the norm though.
I've just woken up and checked.
Oh my fucking God
Pauline Hanson has just tweeted to trump telling him her door will always be open.
So beautiful
Anyone who thinks the same neo-reactionary forces don't exist in Australia is kidding themselves, tbh. Hanson is just the most obvious current expression of them.
Yep. The hobby circles I move in are chock full of Trump supporters.
I also live in Queensland lol
Anyone planning on ordering things from America, today will be a good day to do that
Trump leading in Pennsylvania. Could be official soon.
Let's see some screenshots of these social media feeds chaps.
Apples is seething on twitter. No sign of Lachlan_47 yet.
this is so glorious
Absolutely. I was raised around white evangelical Christians from Queensland. I've seen how this happens.
How are you feeling Bruh?
One of us! One of us!
