USA - pres election night thread - facts/results/rumours

Switch to the sad looking BBC journo in Mexico City

...is trump still going to accept the result?????

People crying at Hilary HQ

Give the poor feckers another pop concert. That'll cheer em up

BBC using the tone reserved for when a member of the royal family dies.

For the benefit of the young 'uns on here, I have to say politics has never been more exciting.

And, if you've got a garden, start digging a fall-out shelter (nb don't forget a cess tank - many in the 50s did).

No need, she's lost

Goodun mecca

It is amusing how the BBC are reporting this, we can expect a blank screen throughout the day accompanied by dirge music !

Bruce will never be seen at a democratic event again

trump 1.03.

indeed been the most amazing few months you could possibly imagine

you'd think at least some of the media would get it after brexit. it's almost an exact replica of the result. trump not likeable obviously but clinton was a terrible candidate for the democrats

mafeking I have to agree as well, again.

I think the leftie BBC/C4 media etc live in a bubble in London, reading the Grauniad, and brainwashing themselves with affirmation.

OMG! Just woken up!

not over till the fat lady sings

Disaffected people will always vote for change. They may not understand that the change might not be good for them, but America has got what it deserves

I've got to take my hat to Ron Russian - well done mate - and I have nothing else to say!

*my hat off

JC, think it's pretty pointless when the various channels get the same london centric pundits on reviewing the papers and commenting generally on politics. tbh dragging 2 blokes out of any pub in the country you'd get a better idea of what the general public think

FFS sad BBC journo now interviewing 5 democrat supportng immigrants who are unhappy.
------------------

That was one of the most amateurish, excruciatingly awful, pieces of television I have ever seen.

Topped off by the Indian immigrant opining - "This is a great nation, that is why I came here"

With the Kosovan illegal looking like she was just about to top  herself.

Oh NO - We will now have to put up with that horrendous NONENTITY Bonnie Greer - telling us why it all went wrong.

Any pundit who is surprised by either this election or by Brexit shouldn't be allowed to comment on politics. It's like they can't see beyond the opinion of their own circle of friends. If they dirtied their shoes occasionally and spoke to ordinary people, they would realise that they will basically stick two fingers up to the establishment given the opportunity.

America Elects‏ @britainelects
It's now likely that Donald Trump will win the presidency on the electoral college but not the popular vote.
(via NYTimes)

Greer was on the DP today. What an idiot, why is her opinion in any way valued?
... actually don't answer that.

Excellent post Danno.

I've said similar myself many times but every phucker ignores me...

Obama seen as a failure?

switched to itv for 5 seconds had to switch off, already trying to turn this into "racist takeover" story by looks of things...

Well it seems that Gezza Vine is blaming it all on white males. Rather sad after the last interview piece with an American black pastor,

HILLARY WILL WIN MORE VOTES...........WHAT A DUMB SYSTEM

Phucks sake I get horrible impression I'm agreeing on this fred with G2D, who I think has me on his mortal enemy 5 1/4" disk!!!!

Great events both divide and unite :P

120 minutes, Donald Trump will be president-elect.

obama speaks well no doubt but what has he really done ? a very nondescript term in office if you ask me

Apart from obamacare that I haer is a bit of a disaster, ... nothing?

BBC is now in full on Trump is a racist scumbag mode again.

White house 2 in Florida

Tant Pis 09 Nov 16 04:31 

Obama knows how to back a winner,came over here to tell us to stay in Europe.Then he tells all of USA to vote for Clinton.

He's gone to, "the back of the queue," now.

A good job we ditched Cameron after he upset Trump earlier this year !

WestWing will never be the same

I'll bid you good morning, gentlemen.  :)

Many thanks for your company on a very entertaining thread.  If Trump does win, have some mercy on the posters who were so rude and abusive on here during the campaign, they just naively believed all the horseshit from the media.

Nigel should ask Donald to say Britain will be at the front of the queue.  Wouldn't that be hilarious!  :)

Total votes for candidates cast by voters across the United States from "Aunties" site

2008    1,866,981 votes
2012    1,945,981 votes
2016 (so far)    5,005,496 votes

Speaks volumes to me.
Good on you the 5m.
Unless you're all nutters and sanctimonious pillocks, like the rest of them.

He will be ivited over there to join in the celebrations,Nigel will not be slow to take advantage of his connection on behalf of UK. I am sure that the Brussels mafia will have been full on for Clinton and DT will not forget this.

Gold is up 4%

It seemed to have gone over everyone's head every state has only 1% in it with some big city areas to dump. Playing to a narrative Trump has done well but he's far from over the line, those odds are idiotic.

Fark me he's ahead in Pennsylvania..

Hamster it is over.

1.06 for Trump in Penn

That would be the shock of the night..

I'm off tae bed

hope I'm not nuked before I wake up

Keep yer arse to the wall sailor..

You won't know about it so no need to worry

Shab    09 Nov 16 05:47 
Hamster it is over.

It is now. The latest vote dumps on CNN just aren't enough and many places at 95% now. GSM.

Those crazy yanks incredible night.

Goodnight/morning all , time for sleep.

The dollar has fallen against the big currencies.

Not over yet though

don't be to surprised even at this late hour something to happen to totally change the result

aint no black people voting for u donald
aint no gay people voting for u donald
aint no hispanics voting for u donald
aint no young women from east and west coast voting for u donald

HOW ANY IDIOT CAN THINK HE HAS A CHANCE IS HILARIOUS...............HE CANT WIN...........the only majority ethnic group he will win is anglo saxon white men............they make up 25% of the elctorate.

Clinton wins. End of fred, go back to your activities on tor chit chatters.

Brexit vote - EU nationals were prohibited from voting
US vote - Hispanics, Latinos etc. are allowed to vote

The KKK white supremacists will be having a wake later

they will have early counting from florida and if donny boy doesnt win florida, ITS OVER..........hes on the toilet seat right now reading beano

aint no black people voting for you donald

cause he aint got a chance of winning...........halelula somebody

I'm declaring early
president clinton

I wonder when Trump will concede?

I'm just waiting for that massive bet where Hillary goes 1.05!

48 vs 49 % Florida now 23%, he's going to lose it. I'm projecting CLINTON VICTORY AND NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE USA.

Hilary will win Florida

its over guys...........hillary wins florida and its done

Hilary over 299 electoral college votes 2-5 buying money

Time for Bed, Hillary is The BOSS !




OH HOW WE LAUGHED

That is GOLD. Who is responsible for that hilarious post?

Great fred, never seen so many people get it wrong on one fred.

Soon as some people wake up they'll be hitting the report thread button to get it deleted

Jesus wept , I am truly astonished

poor anx couldn't take the pace

I went for a sleep about half past one and woke up to hear this nonsense

Never have I ever heard anything quite like it

Donny was 8-1 when I fell off I missed the gamble dear me

do you remember laughing at me back in July? remember laughing last week when I told you he would take Florida? As Nigel would say you're not laughing now are you

Burton be honest now not many people thought he would win ,I mean the guy is not even a politician

The markets. the bookies , nobody at 1am thought this would happen

The US election map tells the entire story perfectly.

Blue on the west coast & north east coast. Red almost everywhere else.
Big cities, universities, government, banks, millionaire mansions etc are all in the blue zone.

The millions who feel neglected & forgotten make up the rest. This outcome has been entirely predictable.

Shocking after timing

had she won what would dirty Bill's title have been?

Hilary 47 per cent Donny 47.9 per cent almost split down the middle

Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson and the Green Party's Jill Stein appear to have siphoned off more votes from Hillary Clinton than Donald Trump, according to AP analysis of exit poll data.   

A quarter of Johnson and Stein voters said they would have backed Clinton if they had to pick between the two major party candidates.

Only about 15% of Johnson and Stein voters would have backed Trump - but most said they would have just stayed home if their only choices were Clinton and Trump.

remember the trump lookalike who said he"d win in a landslide?
well he wasn't far wrong was he

Where is braindeadknobjockey this morning?

I fell asleep and missed Clinton's concession speech.  Did she turn up or send out Podesta, as hinted at by the commentator,

she bottled it and slipped out the fire escape last heard shouting "Deal Me In"

I think anxious has hit the nail on the head there.  'he is not a politician'  - it is the dislike of the rest of them (politicians)that let him in

This is brexit again.

what a night

another result turned on its head

pollsters eh ?

lets hope he turns out to be a decent president

3 months to train him

This mystical Chinese monkey had more success  than the entire polling industry.

Did i dream it?

I bet Monica Lewinsky's glad Trump won.
The last Clinton in office left a bad taste in her mouth.

So Trump was right. The election system is ****. More people voted for Clinton. But Trump won! Same with Bush in 2000. That's how it works

Donald J. Trump‏ @realDonaldTrump
The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy.

I didn't realize, thought it was just that mug acquiesce.
