My fiance is already wailing and crying. Saying she won't be able to afford health insurance, that we will have an environmental wasteland, and is a setback for women's rights. I just keep quiet.

Well, I wasn't expecting last night's result at all.

My soccer fan friends in St. Louis will all be wailing and gnashing teeth.

So I kind of hope come 2018, the US wins the World Cup and the Blues win the Stanley Cup just so their tears will be even saltier when the teams meet President Trump.

And another World Series win by the Cardinals would be nice, too, if only to remind Chicago they had one choice: Hillary or the Cubs.

Well, that just happened. This puts the final nail in the coffin for my political predictions going back to the start of this thing.

BOOM!!!!

I've been telling people to simply ignore the polls and vote your choice. I LOVE seeing egg on the faces of News executives!!!

The polls and the rallies have not been matching up at all, and it looks like the rallies were right.

I'd been thinking for quite some time that this would be a measure of the Brexit polling effect and the ability of the Dems to rig the voting. I wasn't sure which one was stronger, but based on rallies, I figured the Brexit effect was stronger.

But I wasn't brave enough to voice my opinion to too many people. :D
Note to self: start reading sig lines. They're actually quite amusing. :D

As for youtube--I watched the festivities at the Klinton Kampaign HQ on youbube last night. Arfcom took over the comments section, it was glorious. It was in very poor taste, but dang, it was glorious. :lol:
