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.

It would be insane.

Break - NYT is projecting Trump could win Ohio by 5. Hmm.

I picked tonight to do employee evaluations, lol. Things might get interesting!

The fact that Trump could win Ohio by 5 and lose Virginia by the same margin shows how much demographics have changed.

Of course I'm serious. He is a clown and a danger to the country. My hope was nobody gets to 270 and the House declines to pick a winner, leaving Pence to act as President.

Not to defend the guy, but what high crime or misdemeanor did he commit while in office?

It shows they exported their turds here. I talked about this earlier. The libtards moving south opened up their home states, where they're just as hated. CA has the same thing where 45% of the state is red. They're just outnumbered by the band of idiots that moves around to trendy areas.

1. I'm missing where the Constitution says that he has to commit the high crimes or misdemeanors while in office.

2. He doesn't actually need to commit any high crimes or misdemeanors; rather, 67 people just need to say that he did. Much like nobody questioned that wild Bill committed high crimes and misdemeanors, but the democrats refused to remove him from office.

I was at a bar tonight with a table full of old leftist professors......they even had a full sized Hillary cutout. I'm thinking of going back if he wins and tell them I want to fill my beer mug with their tears!

Seems pretty reasonable since we live in a democracy that once elected President, whoever it would be gets a bit of a do-over, especially since his high crime of being "a clown" was widely known before the election.

So it comes down to people's opinions. True. Yours is that he's a clown. So we'd remove a legitimately elected president from office because BigDave says he's a clown. Got it.

I'm a big proponent for bringing back ostracism. While thought of as an informal shunning today, a lot of people are unaware that this was actually formal proceeding in ancient Athens whereby citizens would vote to kick one person out for 10 years. How awesome would that be?

GOP retains the House. That's one positive.

And should be the Senate as well.

Did I see what I thought I did? I have Fox Business on one TV and CNN muted on the other TV and I could have sworn that I saw CNN's ticker put a checkmark by the Republican Senator in Wisconsin. That race was one considered an ironclad lock that the Democrats would win. If Republicans are winning that, then there is no chance of a Democrat senate and we may not even lose any net seats - we lose Illinois, but pick up Nevada.

This is amazing. I remember lefties bashing Silver for being cautious in his confidence for Clinton.

If Trump wins, he needs to be impeached and removed from office.

Of course, I'd say the same about Hillary ... but there would be 0.0 Democrats who would ever vote to impeach or convict Hillary. And that's sad.
Based on what? Does that work like prospective pardons for as yet uncharged, unconvicted felons?

In their defense, it's thin margins either way.

I'm not following, though I admittedly wasn't following Silver that close. I remember him saying it was within the MOE, and some journalists bashing him for it?
