Thus far it would seem that the glass ceiling will remain intact...

Wait five minutes.  They don't include states until voting closes.

I agree anything can happen.  As I type this they are projecting he will get 297 electoral votes and has a 95% chance of winning...

Don't see how they can predict this.

Never will I ever set foot in or spend money in any state who voted for Donald Trump. I am so disgusted with the USA. That's not my country anymore, he's not my president.

That might mean you will never drive across an Illinois state line.  Good luck with that.

but he could say 'i won't set foot or spend money in a COUNTY who voted for Donald Trump' and still be able to fly to most major metro airports, go to NFL/NBA/MLB games, visit most prominent museums/shows/etc.

that frees up a bunch of geography if you don't mind staying out of the country.

Already in England for a year, looks like that stay may be extended for a few more years.

So you're just dealing with the Brexit people, then.
Have some patience, FFS.

I did not vote for Hillary. I did not vote for Donald. I do not want either as the President of the US.

Markets TANKING at the thought of Trump presidency. Worse than 9/11.

More importantly...

I can't imagine what this is like, the message this sends, to people of color, to women, to immigrants, to LGBTQ people, to so many.

This is honestly disappointing. I get disenfranchised people. I do. But it was more than that. So much more.
A candidate ran, in a small percentage, on racism. And the US supported it.

I could easily point to baby boomers as wanting "their" America back. But it's not like Millenials were running from Trump.

Crazy night.

Edit: Our VP-elect doesn't believe in evolution.

Biden has to be second guessing himself right now.  Not knocking his decision, clearly he's given a lot and been through a lot, but this wouldn't be close if he was in.

I'm in the same boat as you. I voted for neither of them. I hope this opens everyone's eyes to the other 4 parties that run each year.

I didn't vote for any candidate on the ballot, but I'll tell you, I sure am enjoying all of the pundits, experts, pollsters, party officials, etc. writhe in intellectual agony/defeat right now. 

All y'all who cast a ballot today - whether you voted D or R - every single one of you is responsible for this mess.  So own it.  Unless, of course, you honestly voted for Hillary or Donald believing that they are truly representative of who you are... in which case, you're not responsible, you're just a schmuck.


So can we start talking about compulsory voting in the US yet?  Or is everyone still afraid about having elections where candidates campaign on issues rather than turnout?
Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.
