The Morning Report 11/8/16 [J.J. Sefton]

GSP.jpg


Good morning, kids. Well, after eight long years enduring the destruction/dismantling of everything we hold near and dear, this is it. Day Zero. There are those that think Donald Trump is going to win in a landslide, and there are those who predict just the opposite (see Ace from last night). One thing, at least from my perspective, is you fight for a cause not because you know you can win. You fight because you know it's the right thing to do, even though it's hopeless. Please don't infer from that last sentence my feelings about today's outcome. I have no idea and I'm scared to death. But whether this time tomorrow we are dipping our collective nads in the biggest vat of pudding in the known universe or, G-d forbid, enduring the unendurable the fight goes on. More importantly, life goes on. Take comfort and strength from family, friends, the good Lord above and the things that give you joy. You're a great bunch of people and what I wouldn't give to get you all in bar somewhere this evening, buying rounds of Val-U-Rite for the house. Now, let's win this thing.

Lastly, someone suggested a predictions thread, so with that in mind here's a handy little Interactive Electoral College Map for you to play with. H/T CBD.

4 Already voted a few days ago. One of the early voting places was a few blocks from work, which made it easy to drop by at 8 AM as they opened, on my way home.

Not that Texas is in doubt, but we're going to need every vote we can get, even in the "safe" states.

35 Shameless Repost from ONT:

Hey Morons,



Greetings! Having had a Yeungling Lager (of course) and half a bottle of sake, I am now ready for this shite.



I was here for the 2012 and 2008 debacles. Whatever else happens, at
least we WON'T have to endure a McLame Brave Noble Failure Concession
Speech that he prepared his entire career for.



So I am prepared for the worst but ready for the best.



Worst:



All Morning: BS fake exit poll data designed to suppress Trump vote
in CO and NV (Rush warned of this - it's gonna happen. Remember the 2004
exit polls were criminally wrong).

5-6PM: Drive-By Media immediately calls PA, VA, and NH for
Hildacula, while NC and FL are "too close to call" and fraud ops
continue at a feverish pace. Stocks jump to a massive high as
America-hating investors cash in.

6:01 PM: Drive-Bys immediately declare Darth Pantsuit the winner.
Stephanopopulousopos and lots of airhead celebs cancel their move
deposits. Yay!



Best:



All Morning: BS fake exit poll data designed to suppress Trump vote
in CO and NV. Trump voters see through this and stampede the polls.

6PM: Trump blows the Marquis de Hill out of the water in New
Hampshire and media sweat bullets over big Trump lead in Virginia (!!!)
that all the bullcrap in Fairfax County cannot overcome.

LOL FL and GA; Trump crushes her in both.

7PM: Trump ahead by 5 in Michigan; out-of-practice Dem voter fraud team in MI caught unaware.

8PM: Drive-bys try really hard not to call CO and NV for Trump;
fail. Gold goes through the roof, dollar crashes (along with DJIA), yen
and pound spike.

9PM: Shock as Trump has LEAD in OR before the 60 bajillion lefty
votes in Multnomah County are assessed. OMG WAT they're all for
Stein!!!!

10PM: MAGA, baby



You heard it here first. Many more Yeungling cans are chilling now and are ready for application in either case.

It's an incredible paradox. It's the very nature of an open and free society that is used by evil people to enslave us. But, it takes the erosion of our ethics and morality in order for that to occur.

79 I spent a good bit of the evening flipping between the depression of Ace's post and other sites that are strong believers in a big Trump win.

One thing I remember from 2012, Ace sucks at math.

One other thing I remember, apparently I do too.

I read a lot of analysis of turn out models, they all make a lot of sense. They fit the math part of my brain. But they also remind me of the things I was doing in 2012 that turnout out to be wrong. Obama got a turnout model I didn't expect.

Now to be fair, it is a pretty reasonable assumption that Hillary won't get Obama's turnout, but that isn't proven yet.

But there was one topic that no one mentioned last night anyway, Project Orca.

We talk about group game, and Dem's being good at it, and Trump not investing in it. But we forget that Romney had NO GOTV at all. Orca left tens of thousands of volunteers with no instructions on what to do on election day. And since Romney had centralized it, the local RNC offices couldn't fill in the gap and use the 72 hour plan Rove created.

I have no idea what the RNC is doing this year, but this has been one of their focus areas in the last 4 years. Orca cost Romney Florida and Ohio. Unless there is a big surprise among a subgroup (Hispanic maybe?) Trump should win those two. States that Obama won (like IA) are now firmly in Trump's hands.

Looking at the RCP averages Trump is sitting at 266. He could lose NV dropping him to 260. But Hillary has a lot of blue states she has to defend today. If she loses MI or PA the game is over. If she loses CO and NH Trump wins.

Bottom line is Clinton must hold 8 states. If she loses a small one, she needs to flip NV. If she loses a big one, she needs to flip NC.

Because there will be a GOTV this year, Trump will over perform Romney.

As far as I can see it, Clinton's only chances for a win that matches the national polls are huge over performance among hispanics or there being a larger than expected Nevertrump vote for her by Republicans.

But I'm using logic, and logic didn't serve me well in 2012. So YMMV.

86 What I learned from Richard Sherman's cheap shot at the end of the first half: You should never let the other team get off an important field goal as time expires; instead, you should just jump offside and hammer the kicker hard enough to bring the trainer out so that he has to leave the field for a play and the other team won't have a place kicker when they need one.

What I learned from Richard Sherman's cheap shot at the end of the second half: Any time the other team's QB is flushed out of the pocket you should knock down all their receivers; apparently you can't maintain contact beyond five yards but it is perfectly ok to unload on them even when they don't expect it so long as you have previously released - so, anyone stopping on a button hook or a come back automatically gets undicked.

That the refs compounded their errors by causing a delay by standing over the ball until there was four seconds left on the play click tells me I also want to take my sweet time getting out on to the field when they "substitute" by bringing out the kicking team.

I don't care about either of those teams but I'd make sure Sherman woke up in the hospital the next day the next time I played them if I were the Bills.

92 MY LIFE! MY LIFE! has been in service of those I love, those I care about, When I was at my best and I could do everything I could in income and my position, I gave it up, because the Nation that I love, that I served and serve, and THE ONLY THING I WANTED TO DO WAS SERVE my nation and by that nation my family so that there are more people like me, more people like my aunt Carol, more people like my uncle Jon, Joe Bob, the lesbians the fags, the cowards, the bold the withering, the FULL FORM of what is America, I could accept and love and in fact embrace them all.

NOW? We are at loggerheads and I DESPISE this world that was the ONLY thing I cared about. I lost loves, and decided to Break Bitches instead, because FUCK ME, FUCK ME! I am not as great as all of the things that made me, I'm a piece of shit, FUCK ME!

I gave up being a creator, a builder, a maker, I gave that up so that I could help YOU be a creator a builder, a maker. I STOOD IN YOUR STEAD so that you could do something with all of the opportunities my nation my family offered. I thought that was common. I thought by giving of myself you guys would pay me and US back more.

I was WRONG! You are all fucking idiots.

My life is a waste, but I still love you. When this day ends, someone will "win" But EVERY good person will lose, and that's what it is. . .an election of lesser loss.

You all, ALL OF YOU, participated in making the most good, feel the mopst bad.

Today is going to be a hard day for me, because I love you all, and I will still join, and bleed and die for you, and in two days I'm going to go to a bar that another man like me built, and drink and tell stories, and likely cry because WE are the best of you, but you pay these fucking FOOLS to "represent" you.

in 2 days, a bunch of guys who are in the top 5 percentile of the WORLD , will sit at a bar, reminiscing about how we love America, but it doesn't love us back, but we will do it again, because we ARE MARINE, and we will do it all over again and again and again, though you don't deserve it.

We will HOPE that our futile example might have influence, but obviously it doesn't.

So FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU!!!!

We know, you vote, yay.

You know NOTHING of how much I hate you all, and nothing of how much I love you.

FUCK YOU.

In a just world (yeah, I know) the award to the fraternity should thus be $3mil per member of the fraternity at that time (including pledges). Current membership of Phi Kappa Psi at UVA is 82 members...so a rough estimate of the award IMO is that it should be around $246mil.

The one intangible not in your analysis (maybe it is so apologies in advance) is the mood of the nation. When Jill Stein declares nuclear war if Hillary is president, then you know that there is a river of rage flowing in this nation; much of it righteous that we are being destroyed and some that the destruction is not further along.

It just doesn't add up that with Trump drawing massive crowds now for well over a year (and you have to spend half a day to travel and see the speech) that he's going to lose, especially by a wide margin.

This is why I can't see Hillary winning unless there is massive widespread fraud. I gotta be careful not to get excited but this one is going to be a shocker.

I think to sum up Trump is leading a group of very very pissed of voters, Romney wasn't.

Clinton is leading the Obama FSA, and she isn't Obama.

The wildcard is how many people are dumb enough to vote against Trump because he doesn't seem sophisticated enough for their tender sensibilities (or think he is a rapist, a bigot, a danger to use a nuke, whatever).

A nation can survive its loudmouthed vulgarians, but not its traitors. This is not an optimal election, but if the results at the end of today are the least worst option, we will endure. Perhaps not with our heads held as high as they could be, but we have been through worse as a people.

If we endure, your sacrifices have not been in vain. If we endure, we may yet recover the greatness that has been lost.

I understand your anger. It is not without merit. There is far more at stake in this election, than just the highly flawed and in one case outright diabolical personalities involved.

This is about the future, and whether there will still be a recognizable United States of America by the time of the next election, or whether we will be shackled to some kind of Pan-American Union much as the nations of Europe are under the EU, with an elite attempting to obliterate our inconveniently individualistic culture with endless waves of migrants from collectivist societies.

I can think of nothing else that would dishonor the sacrifices of our soldiers more than the above scenario, so I am voting for Donald Trump. Not for the man, not for my own gain, but so that the America I have loved will survive in a recognizable form, and be passed down to my unborn children, their children, and their children's children. Any shame that his actions may cause me, I will bear for this future.

Chatted with folks, had homemade cookies and coffee, and voted after an hour wait.

Couple of interesting tidbits...

Our GOP nominee is running against a perennial Dem candidate who is unemployed and homeless (not making that up.) Even the local fishwrap could not bring themselves to endorse him.

Also, one the incumbent GOP city council members remains on the ballot in spite of dying last Friday. Many of people here early voted for him before his passing, and there was no way to remove him from the ballot on such short notice. The local GOP said they would appoint his spot if he is re-elected.

Get out there and make this happen!

236 I'm pretty sure I am going to go offline for the day. I have no interest in doing any hand-wringing, and I'm pretty sure I already know the outcome.

Hope I'm wrong.

In the end, I'll vote for Trump, but can't get past the belief that he's not a serious man. Even if I accept that he has good intentions, he's not really the man for the job. Whatever the job is.

Right now I believe the country just hasn't suffered enough. So we're going to vote in a vagina. Next time they'll try to vote in a gay hispanic midget cripple... or whatever interest group it is whose turn it is next.

I hope four years from now we can still vote.

245 The Washington Post has an interesting article (at RCP) about the GOTV operations in Scranton and Bucks County for both sides.

Bottom line is that people have been told Trump didn't have any GOTV operation, but that's bullshit.

The reporter's impression is that Hillary's operation is focused on getting out their base, but they're few and unenthusiastic. Trump's people are still trying to convince voters and are motivated.

288 92 MY LIFE! MY LIFE! has been in service of those I love, those I care about, When I was at my best and I could do everything I could in income and my position, I gave it up, because the Nation that I love, that I served and serve, and THE ONLY THING I WANTED TO DO WAS SERVE my nation and by that nation my family so that there are more people like me, more people like my aunt Carol, more people like my uncle Jon, Joe Bob, the lesbians the fags, the cowards, the bold the withering, the FULL FORM of what is America, I could accept and love and in fact embrace them all.

NOW? We are at loggerheads and I DESPISE this world that was the ONLY thing I cared about. I lost loves, and decided to Break Bitches instead, because FUCK ME, FUCK ME! I am not as great as all of the things that made me, I'm a piece of shit, FUCK ME!

I gave up being a creator, a builder, a maker, I gave that up so that I could help YOU be a creator a builder, a maker. I STOOD IN YOUR STEAD so that you could do something with all of the opportunities my nation my family offered. I thought that was common. I thought by giving of myself you guys would pay me and US back more.

I was WRONG! You are all fucking idiots.

My life is a waste, but I still love you. When this day ends, someone will "win" But EVERY good person will lose, and that's what it is. . .an election of lesser loss.

You all, ALL OF YOU, participated in making the most good, feel the mopst bad.

Today is going to be a hard day for me, because I love you all, and I will still join, and bleed and die for you, and in two days I'm going to go to a bar that another man like me built, and drink and tell stories, and likely cry because WE are the best of you, but you pay these fucking FOOLS to "represent" you.

in 2 days, a bunch of guys who are in the top 5 percentile of the WORLD , will sit at a bar, reminiscing about how we love America, but it doesn't love us back, but we will do it again, because we ARE MARINE, and we will do it all over again and again and again, though you don't deserve it.

We will HOPE that our futile example might have influence, but obviously it doesn't.

So FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU!!!!

We know, you vote, yay.

You know NOTHING of how much I hate you all, and nothing of how much I love you.

FUCK YOU.

He will get significantly more than any GOP candidate in a very long time. Plus, if a significant percentage of the black vote just stays home, that could be key in crucial states like NC.

Strategically, if Trump wins - PLEASE G-D - then I want to see him institute something akin to the Anti-Great Society and peel off even more black voters from the Democrats.

I'm upstate, red district in a slightly blue county, and I have never seen my polling place anywhere close to as busy as it was this morning. Just packed. Usually (and I always vote early) I pull right in front of the firehall doors, and I'm in and out in a few minutes. Today you had to wait in a long line just to get into the parking lot. Folks were just giving up and parking alongside of the road and walking.

Every election I hope that we upstaters can overcome the downstate vote, and every time we don't even come close.

Before the National Divorce, we upstaters need a divorce from NYC.

This is why I think they will try and steal Queens and perhaps Staten Island and a few sections of Brooklyn (Mike Grimm's old district). Trump has always been popular, at least with the blue collar set in NYC. At leaf he was before this election cycle.

I don't think Hillary would have won her first Senate race in 2002 except for Rudy Giuliani getting prostate cancer and withdrawing from the race. Rick Lazio had no chance against the carpetbagger from IL by way of AR. But Giuliani, at that time, was quite popular throughout the state, including NYC. On such small events swings the Fate of History because if the FAB had lost in 2002, we would not be sweating bullets today.

His polling place is usually about 65 percent black. Today it's less then 50. He says in talking to black guys he knows, they say no way in hell they're voting for a white woman.

So is that racism, or misogyny?

402 So here's my observation this morning. I am in NoVa, suburban DC, in southern Loudoun County. Definitely big purple area. County will elect all GOP on the Board of Supervisors, but vote for Obama. I'm fairly sure the line was longer than 2008 or 2012. Was moving quickly and folks were still coming in at a good clip. Not sure what that means for Trump. We are also part of CD #10 in VA, GOP incumbent Comstock versus Dem Bennett.

Hearing anecdotal reports on morning radio that turnout is heavy everywhere in NoVa. Again; will read nothing into the turnout, but hoping it bodes well.

I loathe the Hillster with the heat of 1,000,000 suns, but trying to prep myself for the worst.

On the lighter side, when I parked at work, the car in front of my had the following bumper sticker: "Why vote for the lesser evil? Cthulhu 2016".

Breitbart was a huge part of where we are today. A fearless, happy warrior who never gave up and laughed at the media when they insulted him or his movement.

Trump inherited and focused a lot of that energy and regardless of what happens to today things are never going to be the same. New associations are happening and if the Republican Party is going to survive it is going to be a more populous, America first Party going forward.

Andrew maybe gone but his legacy is just getting started.

The conventional wisdom is long lines normally indicates strong Democrat turnout in NYC, and short lines means lack of enthusiasm for the Democrat candidate.

That said, considering the complete lack of enthusiasm for Oma Panzersuit, it could mean people taking a chance on Trump.

Today is going to be the day the republic officially dies or is given 11th-hour reprieve from the chair.

Posted by: Make America Great Again at November 08, 2016 09:31 AM (MjyXy)

477 Hey JJ - voted on the North Shore of Staten Island. Heavy minority, heavy earthy crunchy white liberal. Mrs Redux voted on Upper East Side of Manhattan- also deep, deep blue - also very quiet.

Can folks who chime in with voting reports of crowds and/or excitement reports please let us know the following info along with those reports: State you are located in and a city/town Or general geographic area. Then tell us if your specific area is reliably blue or red (if applicable) whether it is wealthy, middle class/working class, rural, etc to give us all a clue as to how segments and areas are doing turnout- wise.

Even Rush was amazed that the usual poll-tightening has not taken place. They are in a full court press to depress Trump turnout, no matter the consequences to their businesses/reputations.

VOTE!

Hello. Mrs. Krebs and I are voting this afternoon, Trump, of course. Delaware is safely Shrillery, however.

Anyway, this evening we're going to assist at the Stockings for Soldiers effort in order to do something for those who give over and above for our country. That runs from 6:30 to 8:30 PM.

I don't think we'll stay up to watch the returns. I haven't done it past 9:00 PM for many years now ('92 may have been the last time). This election has torn off whatever shards of "impartial media" masks there were and to listen to them under any circumstances is infuriating to me.

Trump wins, narrowly in the EV and by 4% in the popular vote. Shrillary refuses to concede and this goes to the courts. Hello, 2000!

So ... for Trump to win - something bad has to happen. Specifically to me. Not bad diagnosis bad - just bad. Something to even the cosmic scales.

With that in mind ... from here on out, I'm declaring a Hillary victory. My hope is, all the Troll accusations and such along with my resulting AoSHQ humiliation will please the Electoral Gods enough to serve up a Trump win.

That's going to be my plan the rest of the day. I hope it's enough.

Western NY. Red district, purple county. Middle/working class.

Turnout is the highest I've ever seen. By a mile. (turnout was way above average for the primary too, which Trump won here in a landslide.)

0615 Rural Arizona.

A long line. Usually deserted; I used to go up-to-town and vote early as there usually no there at opening.

My town has alot of retirees who don't do crack of dawn well.

Line was nothing but gray hair this AM.

I voted for the buffoon who loves his country, and not the one whose greatest sin was to lie to Benghazi families (there is a blue star in my front window).

I voted against the legal-dope ballot measure. I lost a son to marijuana psychosis.

The rest was superfluous.

I want a politicized Department of Justice to root out every trace of Democratic presence in the federal bureaucracy. I want witch hunts in the IRS and the EPA that arrest people for protected political speech, leading to show trials and punitive actions against those who engage in legal political activity. I want bureaucrats terrorized into quitting their jobs and blindly following orders. I want the whole government so blindly panicked at the very idea of coming under the scrutiny of the political arm of the DoJ that they quit rather than collect their pensions.

I want to weaponize the various arms of government to deploy them against our political enemies and destroy their ability to effectively mount legal or political challenges to our initiatives, and make it personally costly for them to try and do so. I want to ruin their lives and careers if they say things critical of needed reforms.

I want to make it dangerous to attempt to corrupt our republic again.

I want to make this such a political bloodbath that the enemies of the Constitution will shudder for a generation before they even think of desecrating things again. I want a political Terror that will echo down the ages as did the French terror.

Posted by: RedMindBlueState at November 08, 2016 09:42 AM (kDUMP)

525 Mama and I voted early this morning. Polls open 6 am in VA, we were there at 605 and out by 625. There was a brisk amount of traffic, but I cannot compare to other years here, this is our first Presidential election at this precinct.

I don't think Trump will take VA, but it will be a good showing. Certainly not ten or twelve points. If Trump were to win Virginia, it is because he is winning everywhere, and that is certainly not the sense of the polling.

We are going to go see Mel Gibson's new movie, Hackaw Ridge tonight. Cheap movie night on Tuesdays. I don't want to hang on election results tonight.

Dems have already started pre-pardoning Hillary, by that I mean now they are like, okay, with the election over, let's be nice to each other talk.

Unnoticed is that only one of the major party candidates declared her pride in having the other party as enemies. I would say how can Hillary go out and say with a straight face that she wants to be President of all the people? But that would accord her some familiarity with truth.

550 Unnoticed is that only one of the major party candidates declared her pride in having the other party as enemies.

Oh, the legacy media was all-over themselves stressing how Cankles' closing statements were all about "unity" and "coming together" and "closing ranks" and all such wonderful, inspirational crap; while inferring (if not flat-out stating) that it will be "our responsibility" to "rally around" her "inspirational" messages.

Nary a mention that, during the campaign, she referred to her political opponents as
Deplorable
Irredeemable
Divisive (without a HINT of irnoy)

Unsaid: Only 25-30% of the country has a college degree; around 75% vote regularly.

It's all about who turns out--is GOTV more important or is enthusiasm more important?

Obama had both.

Trump clearly has the enthusiasm.

567 Caddell polls and says 'The Revolt' ... is vastly underestimated ... on both sides. The other polls are so screwy, insiders in the bubble are not asking the right questions (and polls are clearly skewed Podesta style, by his plans to cook the polls with his preferred over-samples, and they obeyed)

About two to one voters want change, a high priority item. (Trump has some issues, but not such high priority for saving nation)

On this other vital question, "if they win, the political class and special interests win ... or lose" 65 to 35 think elite win if Hillary wins, including 40% of Democrats. With Trump 57 to 43% think the elite lose if Trump is elected.

So it is a major concern for everyone, and about two thirds see Trump as the one bringing the change. Then Pat brings up a Kentucky election where polling versus election showed a 15 point difference in favor of the "outsider". (sorta a Brexit thing perhaps) Pat says it is because they don't ask the right questions, and he thinks his "right questions" above, indicate something historic for Trump. (the high energy Trump huge rallies confirm what primary turnout suggests on this as well)

Stein wants Trump, Sarandon is voting Jill since Hillary is just too damn high-ly corrupt. The signs are everywhere ... corruption in her Dem polling places is the last chance for Hillary.

Like Obama, if she wins she'll be POTUS to the people who voted for her, only.

Trump, OTOH, made a point after that of saying at his rallies that even if you're voting Hillary, he wants to be a great POTUS for everyone.

587 @79 We talk about group game, and Dem's being good at it, and Trump not investing in it. But we forget that Romney had NO GOTV at all. Orca left tens of thousands of volunteers with no instructions on what to do on election day. And since Romney had centralized it, the local RNC offices couldn't fill in the gap and use the 72 hour plan Rove created.

Posted by: Dave in Fla at November 08, 2016 07:56 AM (wfDW1)

I was one of those volunteers who was left in the lurch on Project Orca. I remember coming here on Election Eve and asking if anyone else had gotten their instructions. I was worried about Virginia because I could tell the GOTV was a total cluster. I was called a concern troll.

People were citing the right track/wrong track numbers last night.

Keep in mind, they were roughly "wrong track" at 60% when Obama was reelected.

But the "why" is important. Maybe in 2012, a big part of the "why" was "Republican obstruction."

Now?

Why is the country on the wrong track?

708 Anecdotal report from Ohio voting place (where I vote).

Got in about 5 minutes to 7 am, and had to stand in line for 30 minutes. This is a huge polling station, there are 6 precincts that vote here, and about 30 electronic voting machines. Literally 200 hundred people in front of me, but it moved fast.

It is all pretty much 21st century. There is a touch pad to sign in, that verifies who you are. Ohio has voter ID, so you have to show a picture ID to vote (driver's license).
The voting is all touch screen with a paper copy printout of your ballot.
It took about 3 minutes to vote, actually. The area I live in is predominantly Republican. The township and county offices (Delaware county) were a lot of Republicans running un-opposed.

Saw some friends/neighbors in line. One is a Democrat, the other a Republican. We are all friendly and civil to each other.

It is very heartening to see so many people out and standing in line to vote. Whatever the outcome (subliminal message: Trump wins!), this was a great campaign year, and we got a very CLEAR CHOICE.

I have to admit having liked that one. Brooks did a good job of skewering the silly, pretentious elitists initially, but couldn't quite bring himself to admit that they were ridiculous. He also declared himself one of them, in wholesale agreement with the leftist uniparty. The guy's about as conservative as Ted Kennedy.

737 My vote will cancel out my lib sister's.

Heh-same here. My lib sis posted a lengthy Facebook screed this morning about how she's worked too long and too hard (she's a very successful businesswoman) to let someone like Trump "silence" and "demean" her accomplishments.

I love my sis and am very proud of her success. But she's a typical limousine Liberal who has never really understood or had empathy for those less successful than her. Just because she feels that the government can take wads of her money and spend it however she wants (and she can afford to feel that way) she thinks everyone should.

My sis grew up in the same working class house as I did. I don't know when she became such a snob.

She said yes because she has never been a tagalong before. So I won't go until the 12yo and 2yo get here. I think it is fun that she wants to go -- at her age very little really makes her enthusiastic -- so I'll wait a few hours. Always brought all four of mine with me.

Trump v Hillary signs: 60-40 Trump. Rest of county is large advantage Trump. Several Dem houses with signs for everyone except Hillary.

Seemed to be higher turnout. Ohio now swiping driver's license when you go to get your ballot. Should reduce some fraud.

Posted by: RoyalOil

I liked Romney then. I went to a local rally for him. All the local and state Repubs were with him. Jack Nicklaus was campaigning with him in Ohio. We all felt positive. But I didn't think he would win, really. Romney never really closed the deal.

Trump has campaigned tirelessly. For a 70 year old man, he has been nothing short of tremendous.
There is a lot of enthusiasm for him, and a lot of people really loathe Hillary Clinton.

I just don't see her pulling in the votes. A close friend who is a Hillary supporter was giving me some friendly shit, but I just don't see her carrying Ohio. And that's all I really know about.
Even without that moob Kasich supporting him, Trump has a lot of enthusiasm from the grassroots.

Leaked Bill Clinton Speech: Obama Years Left No Hope For White Working Class

Posted by: Evilpens at November 08, 2016 10:30 AM (y3aQB)

745 Last night, two people told me that everyone in their families voted Trump.

A woman, let's say "of age", very elegant, with GOTV stickers in script on her dress top told me that her group had raked over the rolls three times for turnout and it was very frustrating. She wanted to go to the coastal plain to help out there. My read was that she was a hard-core Hillary gal and everyone voting Dem had already voted in the Early Voting.

Bigby, congrats, all children are special, little girls will steal your heart. And you will enjoy it.

Speaking of movies, we watched Star Trek Beyond on Blu-ray on the 70 inch 4k last night.

In the credits, I see Simon Pegg as the writer! Interesting.

At first I thought well that wasn't really very Star Trek like, but then I realized it was really like (and this may be a spoiler, so avert your eyes......)


Are they averted?



Seriously, it might be a spoiler...


If you are geeky enough...


Beyond was like a really updated "Where No Man Has Gone Before." Pegg wrote it, but one of those J. J. Abrams super homage deals.

Chris Pine has a few more years on him, and he is starting to REALLY look like Kirk. Though a bit too angsty for my tastes. It's like they wrote in the angst to what, appeal to Milllennials or something? I dunno. But he has the sort of James Tiberius swagger down otherwise.

789 If Trump should be so fortunate as to win, his press secretary should start out the first conference by making sure every seat has a fresh pair of kneepads - "to replace the ones you wore out at your Hillary rallies."

790 I loved that...

CNN practically tackled a white woman who (by her looks) was college educated at a Virginia polling place.

After talking about things, she was asked how she voted. She wouldn't say, but then said, "The guy I voted for will bring in the right people to change things for the better".

Throwing chairs *through* the General Assembly. And then gut-stomping through the gore, picking up said chair, and throwing it again, and again, and again, until the chair-throwing is done and da lamentations.

And *then* throw the fucking clipboard, because old-school.

793 >>Laura Ingraham for press secretary.



That would be good, though I bet it would be Kellyanne Conway. She's been a fabulous spokesperson for Trump so far!


Would be fun if it were instead Milo or Mark Steyn. Can you imagine Steyn breaking out in showtunes at odd moments and leaving the Lefty WH press flummoxed?

797 I do not look good in red.

Red is for commies and guys who get disintegrated on pastel-colored alien planets.

Blue, as in "blue forces" are supposed to be the good guys.

This whole red/blue thing we have been fed has got us duped.

And therefore I will look unto the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.

Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy; when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me.

314 Long lines in New York?



Could there be a jaw-dropping surprise state?

Posted by: jwest at November 08, 2016 09:00 AM (Zs4uk)





You want long lines upstate and in the country and short lines in Hymietown and Albany.

Posted by: J.J. Sefton at November 08, 2016 09:01 AM (mbhDw)

I live in a conservative-ish little enclave in the Albany suburbs. Still lots of dems all around us. This year I saw a good many Trump signs out and about, and only one Hill sign. I only saw one Hill bumper sticker all season. For reference, I saw lots of Obama signs and stickers the last two elections. Take that for what it's worth.
Went to polling place first thing at 6am. Usually not too busy, but there were actually about a dozen people in line. Which is weird that early.My vote is null here in blue NY, but still. Trump seems to be pretty popular upstate here, and I'm led to believe that culturally and politically upstate NY is more linked to OH and PA than the NYC.God, I wish we could saw NYC off and let it float away.

803 Walked to the polls as soon as I woke this morning, as I wanted to clear my head as I did my part.

I'm proud to have thrown my vote down for Mr. Trump, even if it is in vain, I would rather fight for a lost cause and go down swinging than to acquiesce to the supposed inevitable.

I will not allow myself optimism. I was optimistic in 2012(2008 was another story), I believed that we would go back to a more sensible way and the American people would see the obvious. The results crushed me, and I don't want to feel that again.

All that said, I don't think a victory is impossible. There is a great discontent in this nation. A large amount of people are aware just how bad it is, and how it could get much worse. I will not hope outright, but perhaps I will not yet fall to the depths of despair, either. America can yet be made great again, even if it is an uphill battle.

805 Just ran a 5k, past our polling place. line out the door. Is big turnout good for the good guys?

Posted by: Brave Sir Robin at November 08, 2016 11:27 AM (SeD0w)

806 In NW Florida, which is about as red as you can get, the line at our polling place went around the block and their parking lot was slammed. I had to park on the side of the road down the street and waited for an hour.

I think the enthusiasm gap is massive and if my few leftist friends are to be believed, many on the Communist side are holding their nose to vote for The Most Corrupt Woman in History. Hopefully that's enough.

If not, demographics is destiny. Just imagine the whole nation as California and you'll get the picture. Get your ammo and your long guns while you still can.

807 Wore my "US Army" hat. No line. Machines were mostly full of voters. One of my neighbors is a Republican running for judge. All of her neighbors have her sign up in their yards (Including me) she'll make a fine judge.

One vote for Trump here in Texas.

808 Played the electoral map game...I'll give Hillary Nev/Arizona/NM (latino vote) but I'm flipping Ohio and Michigan for Trump.... Nebraska/Maine tied. 270 Trump 268 Little Miss Corrupt.

809 Yes, the Clintons' malignant and venal corruption must be extirpated from American politics, but the case for Trump is a positive one.

Constitutional Judges, Ending the Wars on Business, Cops and the Military, Rebuilding American Infrastructure, ending One-Sided Trade Deals, Blasting Political Correctness, having Borders and more.

Positive, mon.

810 I first learned the Lord's Prayer in Spanish, and sometimes especially when I am stressed or upset I forget the correct words in English. I revert to the Spanish version, and it all comes back smoothly.

Praying for Trump to win.

"Libranos del mal" here too.

811 548:
Eagles, coyotes? On my way back from voting, I saw probably 80 vultures occupying two adjacent trees by the side of a country road, with more arriving every minute. They seemed to be just hanging out, and there was no dead animal anywhere near - certainly not anything big enough to feed them all.

I'm in Staunton, VA (Shenandoah valley) and voting was much heavier than usual. Probably 100 people in front of me when I got there around 9:30, and it took 20+ minutes in all. I was voter 842. Staunton is 1/8 black (just like the U.S.) and votes around 50-50, but my precinct is almost certainly whiter and probably more Democratic than most here. Whether that translates into a Clinton win in Staunton I'm not sure. (Surrounding Augusta County will go Trump by a huge margin.) A church near the church I vote in had a huge array of Trump signs in the parking lot. What does it all mean? I don't know. Just offering a data point.

Most interesting thing: I voted 'yes' on a constitutional amendment bringing Right to Work (= no closed-shop forced unionization) to Virginia. I thought we already had that, but apparently not. Wonder if having Trump on the ballot will help it win.

812 A nation of the government, by the government, for the government, is no nation at all. Especially when that government is now an enormous engine for battering down the Constitution--time to shove a potato up that exhaust pipe.

Dump trucks around Trump Tower could be a good thing, if they're bumper to bumper all the way around. Are they?

If you think someone might try to blow a place up with a truck-bomb, a row of dump trucks, especially if they're fully loaded, is one of the few easily-built barriers a truck loaded with explosives can't get through.

814 Sheriff David Clarke absolutely must be given a position with some real authority in a Trump administration.
