Was listening to radio today and heard trump on a show being very conciliatory, as if ready to concede the election at 5PM Eastern.

It's about 11 PM eastern now and Trump is far ahead of Clinton. Still could turn out to be close but I'm watching the lefty media to enjoy their indignant surprise at how well Trump has done in Ohio, Florida, North Carolina....with Wisconsin scaring the Dems.

It's laughable they thought Texas was in play....NOT!

But Michigan is....Jimmy! Voting 42 times isn't enough! Go try it some more.

Watching CNN. It's a basketcase. Very glum until they were able to add in California to Clinton's tally and that moved her ahead. They're smiling now, but they know those states back east are not looking so great. :twisted:

The Dead vote, the Zombie vote and the illegal Alien vote....... and of course The Black Messiah's vote. Who will win. Who will lose. Who will be singing the "Blues".

Watching PBS at the moment. Even calling California for Clinton, and they did that with 0% of precincts counted, It's still 222 electoral votes for Trump and only 209 for Clinton at the moment.

PBS is shifting the discussion to how Hillary lost already.

It's over. Waiting for an official concession, but Clinton has to win the 3 states still in play....and Trump is leading (and likely to win) in all of those.

Hillary's camp has already sent everyone at the campaign headquarters home for the night, saying that they are waiting for every vote. We know they are doing this to avoid making a concession


Congratulations President Donald Trump. Now go drain that swamp and make America great again.

Clinton concedes at 1:40 AM Central Time. Now Trump begins the work of uniting and healing what the Soros DNC has done over the last 12 years. Domestically, I hope he's better than Bush and that's not saying much. I'd bet that business starts humming, employment that actually pays will happen when small businesses are unleashed from stupid regulations of the recent past, starting with Obamacare.

A good leader is always evolving and Trump has shown growth and proven he can put together mostly ordinary Americans into a coalition that is sincere about taking back liberty the government has too long usurped without consent from the governed. I hope we can repeal the Patriot Act, too.

Hillary lost because of that very arrogance. She was more odious than anything she could project falsely or even rightly upon Trump. Think about that.

Btw, she won in DC by 97%. This does seem to be a repudiation of DC by the rest of America. Hmmm.

What a strange road this must be for Melania.

I was up watching it on Fox business, finally started nodding off when it was down to the wire, woke up just in time for the victory speech.

Didn't know what time Hillary conceded, final tally was Trump 279 electoral votes. I was a bit off, I was expecting around 282 to 285.

Hillary's people were crying

http://www.fox5ny.com/news/216373607-story

And he won it event though voter fraud was a problem in several states, including here in Texas. Machines flipping votes, dead people voting, you name it they tried it.

Now it's time for him to get into the next phase, putting together a cabinet. He's already put out a few possible names, Giuliani, Gingrich and a couple of others but just a couple of starters.

Then we have to see what Obama is going to pull between now and inauguration day...for sure plenty more regulations and and prisoner releases, and expect him to do whatever he can to push the phony climate change agenda.

Trump's biggest problem will be the press, but I think he's already put their reputation in the sewer, last time I checked their reputation was bad, something like 75% of people don't trust the press any more. So maybe that will help.

Having a Republican majority in both senate and house will help, 1st time for that since 1928, but I still don't think he will be able to do everything he wants. As I've said before if he gets half of what he wants, probably about what he expects, we'll be in very good shape. We all want to see the economy get better, I have no doubt that will happen. I'm betting the wall will happen too. I'd like to see term limits, that's been badly needed for a long time but it will be a tough sell to get congress to go along with it. Repeal Obamacare is probably in the bag too, and I'm betting even a number of democrats will go along with that one.

It's wait and see for now, but I still think he will do a better job than most people seem to think. He is not the politician who sees a problem and tries to figure out how to benefit politically, whether it gets fixed or not. He is a businessman and problem solver who looks for an actual solution. He took no money from special interests, he can flip them off and do what is right, nobody is going to control him. He put near $100 million of his own money into this, and took only small individual donations.

But there's a down side...moving into the white house after his place in Trump Tower is like...well, Trump Tower makes the White House look like a Holiday Inn...he just walked away from his $4 million a year salary for more like $400,000...which he has said more than once he will not accept...and Air Force one is...smaller and not as nice as his current 757...he also has already walked away from his business, he handed it to his kids when he announced, and told them "don't blow it". So Eric, Donald Jr and Ivanka have been running things since last year. And so far doing a great job. Pop has a new job...

Get used to it folks, you can start calling him President Trump now.

Oh yeah..I wonder what will happen with all the people who said they would move out of the country if he was elected...are they packing?

Stephanopolis
Barbara Streisand
Al Sharpton
Oprah I think
Cher


Here's a partial list

Well, I guess I'm going to go see if I can get a few more winks in, all I got so far was just a nap...

LAUGHING OUT LOUD!
Why would he move into the white house?
Why would he give up that beautiful plane of his own?

Maybe because he actually does love America and and all Americans...

President elect Donald Trump, has nothing to gain except an ego stroking. Maybe he really does want to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Those conciliatory speeches Obama & Hillary just gave were the best speeches of both of their careers. I'm surprised at how graceful they were.

But admittedly finding it hard to believe after all the acrimony. Something smells wrong and I still can't believe that they are going to go so happy and peacefully into the night. And I will owe a lot of people an apology, Barak Obama primarily, if there is a peaceful transition of power.

Since August of 2008 I've been saying:

The days after the election but before the Inauguration could be the most perilous times in America since the '60s.


The 1860s

I hope that I'm wrong. I've been hoping that for 8 years now. The time has come to see if my fear was ever founded in reality

Those "spontaneous" crowds that are protesting organized rather quickly, don't you think?

I pray Donald is surrounded by angels.

I ask simply where are The Hag's and The Black Messiah's heartfelt speeches condemning the protests, the riots, the flag and cop car burning and the beatings ????????????? Both of these creatures are wholly EVIL and have no redeeming qualities whatsoever. They deserve no tolerance, no concilatory considerations and no mercy. They are the ememies and must be condemned, arrested and brought to Justice. They can not be given any quarter and must be pursued relentlessly.
