@Rich we where asked to produce a list, so I took the time (not much admitedly) to reply.
So.. do they count as they go along then or what? BBC seems to suggest results come in as polls close.
ABC in Oz was suggesting it's convention to wait until the polls close on the west before any announcements as to avoid influencing those states, about 3pm here or 2am your time so a breakfast surprise for you lot.
If its Clinton win theyll know early 3am uk time?
If its trump, it will have been much tighter so later- midday
took a month for George W to bullshit his way through the courts in his brothers state to get the win
What Kimbers says. If we know early it will be a Clinton win. The longer it goes the more likely it will be for Trump. As per Brexit with Sunderland a few key places could provide a powerful indication.
@molgrips - a quick guide here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2016-37885746
looking like very high turnout
which worryingly could be good for trump as it means pollsters are less likely to be able to predict the 1st time voters
all though theres a high latino turnout, which doesnt bode well for Mr racist
but as with Brexit, it could be that all those disaffected usually non-voters come out and vote for the 'easy' option to complex problems
The Miami Herald kept it simple when offering an opinion on who to vote for:
"Not Him"
"Her"
I have a feeling Bill Clinton voted for Trump, just for a laugh, every time I seem him on TV he has the look of someone who's playing a little joke on someone entirely for his own amusement.
There was always going to be a high turnout, it's been a brutal election, a very long election and the final two are both very divisive characters.
I do expect a fall out if/when Clinton gets it, the late polls look very favourable for her.
It would be nice for the 'left' to win something given all the post-truth, right wing rhetoric around for the last few years. 'Left' is a relative thing of course, the Democrats are typically on-par with our Centre-Right Tories.
I am sure Trump wants to win unlike the poster above. I am also certain he has a serious personality disorder either narcissistic personality disorder or Psychopathy.
Understanding the personality disorder allows you to understand the man. His brain is simply not wired up in the normal way. He believes everything he says because he simply is never wrong in his eyes. He is incapable of being wrong. He believes that he will be the best President ever and is incapable of understanding that what is best for him personally might not be best for the USA. No one else views matter to him, anyone who disagrees with him is wrong, if he loses he must have been cheated out of winning because he is the best person for the job in his eyes.
His values are badly skewed. He has no moral compass.
These people exist all over the place and a lot of them get into positions of power especially in business as the ruthlessness they have stands them in good stead. Usually tho they get stopped before getting into positions of political power so the damage they do is only to their employees and their families and partners.
A very dangerous man.
"The people of Germany" hahaha proper funny.
Democrats are typically on-par with our Centre-Right Tories.
I see them quite a bit further right. No Democrat is suggesting an NHS or unemployment benefit after 2 years, US has far lower taxes and Democrats won't raise them.
Turnout is interesting. Obama won partly as he raised voter turnout amongst African Americans. These voters have not turned out in the same way for Clinton. I suspect Latino is up strongly and is anti-Trump. Whilst undocumented Latinos cannot vote I am sure they will be pursueding their neighbours to vote for Hillary.
Just read that Stevie Wonder said: "Voting for Donald Trump is like asking me to drive"... 8)
🙂
Genius:
Love that video!
LOL! Doesn't trust his wife or can't remember his name?
"The people of Germany" hahaha proper funny.
You're not supposed to like it.
There's a tough choice facing the American people today:
are people without torsos allowed to vote now? how does he/her hold the pen?
Those pictures sum up Trump (and his son) perfectly and reinforce tj's sociopath theory

I guess it's now a race to see who can lose with dignity.
Jeeeze, Trumps lawyers are trying to stop Hispanic votes being counted...
Honestly, you couldn't make this up if you were 4 years old.
Anyone staying up?
Yes, but ain't watching the result. Watching Flim4 movie ... rather good. 😀dantsw13 - Member

[quote=dantsw13 ]Anyone staying up?
Yeah - I also stayed up to watch the Brexit train crash - and this is looking like it might be a similar demonstration of stupid people voting 😥
Team by team, reporters baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped, look at that low plane...
Goodbye to Science, equlaity, womens health, healthcare, poor people (and not in a good way)
Hello to accepted racism and discrimination, hatred and oppression all in the name of freedom for rich old white men.
Next game, odds on impeachment or criminal convictions for Trump.
I can't believe this slow motion car crash... My wife and I worked hard for me to move out here, and now this total scrotum has lied, scaremongered and conned his way to the top, with no comprehension of the consequences... Shit is taking a turn South 😥
Anyone staying up?
I got back up at 3 to watch. Once Florida was called, it's all been downhill.
Arizona, Alaska and Wisconsin are effectively Trump wins already which means DT is on 268...
Oh America, what have you done to ALL of us?
It's also going to be a Republican triumvirate - Oval, House and Senate!
Oh well. Time to turn off the news, stop reading the papers, and retire to a cave to await the forthcoming apocolypse
The future of this post-truth politics world appears to lie with angry old white people
ZOMG , genuinely stunned.
post-truth politics
THIS.
WTAF is going on with the world?
My son had a few quid on a Trump win. Wonder what odds he got?

Yellowstone. Yellowstone YELLOWSTONE
97% of the vote counted in Pennsylvania and DT is ahead by 0.8%...if he wins Pennsylvania, it's all over.
@daffy, it would seem some people are sick of the system we have now and are reacting against it.
Oh well. Time to turn off the news, stop reading the papers, and retire to a cave to await the forthcoming apocolypse
And honestly that is part of the reason the world is here, quotes from one of the states was that they reckoned the good employment stats were rigged, disengaged and confused with nowhere to turn. The 30s Germany is a very apt comparison

Perhaps, but personally I'd try to first fix a broken system before replacing it with unhinged one.
