Not that it changes our life that much (unless The Don presses the red button lol), but does anyone actually want trump to win?

Ok I'll rephrase that, there will be people on here who do want trump to win, but is there anyone willing to admit that publicly? 

I'm not particulary fond of Clinton, she looks a really fake person whenever she's speaking and the smiles & waves are just as fake. I think I've began to like Trump, he does seem to want the best for USA, but is just too honest and often doesn't help himself. I could never ever vote for Clinton, but could see myself liking the trump train.

She looks fake, because she is pretty much, as are most career politicians, in my limited experience of seeing them. He's no better, and I think he was about 40% worse on the fact checking of both candidates during speeches/debates.

That said, she's not emotionally retarded, and in possession of a teenager's temperament. That is what I'd consider the biggest red flag for someone wanting to be running the most powerful nation on earth.

Pretty com that he has managed to get this far, or rather they both have, as they're terrible, terrible people, imo.

I get what you are saying, but are we really to believe that Trump is going to do what he actually says? He isn't going to build a wall, he isn't going to ban muslims, but instead when he gets away from the controversial stuff, his health & economic plans sound OK. I don't believe he's ever much closer to pressing the red button, just because of what he says. I think it's all about saying what people want to hear and behind all that there is a likely level headed person, after all he is a multi billionaire with a huge empire

No, because he wouldn't have a clue where to start, lol.

It's going to be tremendous. It's going to be great. It's going to be so amazing.

If you think he's  level headed, then you're either trolling, or you're on another planet Cheesy

Interesting stuff.

Krauthammer thinks Trump might be around as party leader, even if he loses.

I'm sure Krauthammer is right but, whether Trump continues or not, I think he has changed a couple of things that we will see again.

One is that the nativism he has displayed is likely to be taken up by others and continue to be a thorn in the Republican Party's side, with or without Trump.

The second is that his success will probably mean that his insulting approach will be copied - the USA isn't short of entitled blowhards.

An early lead for Clinton - but quickly overtaken by Trump

The result is in from Dixville Notch and Clinton took an early lead. Only seven voters were registered (one of whom had voted in advance) and there was late drama with an on-the-day registration, which delayed things slightly. There were nine votes in the Primaries, but someone moved away.

With turnout having reached 100%, the polls were closed and counted:

Hillary Clinton 4
Donald Trump 2
Gary Johnson  1
Mitt Romney    1

 Click to see full-size image.



The lead didn't last long though. NH rules allow electorates of less than 100 voters to open early and three remote areas get it out of the way at midnight. Hillary won Hart's Location 17-14, but Donald took Millsfield 16-4, putting him 32-25 ahead.

Can he hold on?

LOL! Both of the candidates can "make like a tree and get out of here!" Iv always believed that most heads of state are just poster boys/girls controlled by a large committee pulling the strings anyway.

Early indicators in North Carolina not good for Clinton.

http://edition.cnn.com/2016/11/07/politics/north-carolina-early-voting-2016/

I think Obama winning NC in 08 was an aberration. It had been Rep for a long time and even he didn't hold it last time. It is surprising that Clinton has led a lot of the polls here. Trump probably has to hold it to win - could be very close there.
