It's not looking good.BigDave wrote:Looking like a landslide for Hillary. Remember that polls from rural areas always come in first and so Republicans always start out leading. Hillary leading early in all four swing states ... it's over.
Yep... question is, how much control of the House do Pubs retain, and do they hold onto the Senate?BigDave wrote:Looking like a landslide for Hillary.

Thought Loudoun reported alreadyBigDave wrote:I was getting hopeful that Virginia might turn red when I saw the early numbers ... but I clicked on the map and basically none of the votes are in from the cities yet. Virginia is still blue.
Gracious and conciliatory. Good stuff.

Regardless of who wins, the 45th president is starting out with the deck stacked against them. Over half the country is going to despise them and wish nasty things on them. The winner will have no mandate whatsoever and will have to be as conciliatory and gracious a winner as we've seen in our lifetimes.
Not if she takes any of James Carville's advice to heart. He just said on CNN she really needs to reach out, particularly to the Bubbas and union folks, who voted for Trump today.HokieFanDC wrote:Gracious and conciliatory. Good stuff.

Looks like Trump might pull it out in FL.

Does it matter. It could get voted down and they will some how build it anyway.Hokie CPA wrote:I'm actually more interested in our local races. I expect Hillary will carry Virginia and I expect Scott Taylor will return to the House for the 2nd District, but I want to see how Virginia Beach city council and light rail shakes out.
Well, Virginia would replace a loss of North Carolina OR Ohio ... but not both. He's got to win one of those two ...USN_Hokie wrote:Looks like Trump might pull it out in FL.

I will say that the greatest thing about a Trump win would be watching the liberals go ape$&*t for 4 years. It would make the Bush histrionics look mild, and that's saying a lot.awesome guy wrote:I'm enjoying watching the liberals cry "but the demographics shifted!". They're out of touch.
