weekevie04 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) Looking increasingly likely it'll be a Trump win, and if he does pull it off it has been a repeat of Brexit. Bookies, stock market, exit polls all showing a Clinton win and lots of commentators talking up the exit polls showing - high Latino turnout, strong female turnout and Trump underpeforming. Also it being too close to call in the likes of Georgia, South Carolina to being the night had many folk thinking it would be an early night if he couldn't win there. Then something changed. About an hour or so in to it. Trump's vote in Florida, North Carolina and later Ohio, and the rust-belt states showing Trump changing up, and even Trump's chief Shellyanne Conway coming out early doors saying that the GOP elders and chiefs could have done more to help Trump win - like Farage saying he thought Brexit had just lost, everything changed exactly like Brexit. Unbelievable really that Trump wil most likely be the president of the United States. Edited November 9, 2016 by weekevie04 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely get the impression that it's me/us against the world. I threw what was left in my bet victor account on Trump (£4) at 4/1, regretting not putting more.

Rossy Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 And the world continues to turn into some right-wing hellhole, guided by intolerance and hate. It seems that as long as you can appeal to the base fears and prejudices of people, and go for the lowest common denominator, you can win power. Dangerous times.

northernscum Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Seems like Clinton has gone to her pit in the huff, leaving her minions to explain to her supporters. That says it all about the sense of entitlement she thought she had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pool Q Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) Clinton has conceded according to some. Trump has clearly won anyway. Hard to believe, but there you are. Wholly uncharted territory, in truth no-one really knows what Trump stands for. The building of the wall on the Mexican border (a nonsense in itself) is about the only thing he has been consistent on. On foreign policy he has said a few dumb things, but not a great deal really. I don't think he is fit to be President in terms of experience, competence or character, but the reality is that he is going to be come January, so we can only hope he can get people around him in time to run things. Worrying times. Edited November 9, 2016 by Pool Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worrying times. The more worrying thing is actually that the Republicans have a clear majority in both Houses. Trump (in theory) has a clear path to pursue whatever lunacy he wants. The only handbrake on him will be other Republicans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
