The presidential election may come down to two states, New Hampshire and Nevada, as I have stated for a long time.
Meanwhile, we do have new projections that Republicans will hold the Senate.
Democrats had been projected to win the Senate by as much as 54-46 so there is at least some bit of good news tonight.

Mike, It will be interesting to see how democrats will stack supreme court with a republican senate, if Clinton wins prez. Might be that the current sitting supreme court justices will decide how many justices are required and how they will be selected, all the result of lawsuits brought by democrats. Ted
Clinton is not going to win. Who cares anyway? Let’s start the Second Great Depression!
Great job with your naive witch hunt politics. In my 55+ yr’s this is among my worst watch of excuses for leadership.
You’re full of it – unfortuantely you make us suffer with your ignorance.
You’ve gone too far in your chase for a lest wing zoltergist. You went over the top
BS news here
You are here so you must like it mwn
US stock futures (S&P500 ) are down 4%.
This is not because of Trump. Trump won’t be sworn in for another 10 weeks. Prices had already peaked and were rolling over for the past ~2 months. At this rate, Wall Street is scuttling the ship and Trump gets a free chance to rebuild from scratch.
Make that 5%
Keep telling yourself that it’s not because of Trump. As things turn really ugly tomorrow and in the months to come keep repeating it over and over, this isn’t Trump’s fault. Of course by then millions of people who voted for him will be demanding not only his impeachment but his televised execution.
ha ha dream on billy. hard to accept reality isn’t it?
It’s so damned hard for them when they were so prepared to rub Hillary in our faces.
Sour grapes for certain.
AS far as the markets crashing, all I can do is giggle to myself. ALL of these dumb ass gamblers so certain that they could read the tea leaves and make another fast buck off of the backs of working people. If we truly want to see some equality in wealth, we are going to have it make it a lot hard to make “easy money”.
Remember the old 16 times earning ratio we learned in school? It’s back and it doesn’t matter what CNBC says either.
Futures down 500 points. GREAT IGNORANT INSIGHTS FROM YOU – IDIOT!1
Mish could care less if the stock market tanks. It was overvalued anyway.
Damned straight! Stocks are gambling chips that have NO value other than what they can be traded to another fool for. Why not invest in baseball cards? Their value is not based on anything but what another “enthusiast” is willing to pay. I’m so tired of our economy being dominated and constantly threatened with destruction by a cabal of ultra wealthy gamblers.
Dow futures down over 600 now. Nymex says Trump will win! The banksters are in big trouble, the rule of law will be back in force. They and the Clintons will be running for a country with no extradition treaty.
And the shredders at the Clinton Foundation are burning out
GO Trump GO!
Much closer than I expected.
Still an outside chance.
The future of the Republic will be decided tonight.
The future of the republic? LOL! It has no future! Next stop a military dictatorship!
Any serious consideration of the level of corruption within the Clinton machine would tell you that there IS no greater threat.
Dow futures are down over 600 points. Gold is surging past 1325! Yay!!!! This is another Black Tuesday and the start of the Second Great Depression. I’m loving every minute of this. All those fools who voted for Trump are going to lose their jobs and will be mobs in the street demanding his impeachment. Martial law and a military dictatorship to soon follow! I love it when a plan comes together. Meanwhile I’m a millionaire living in Uruguay!!!
Keep on dreaming billy, but do keep your plan to move to south america. You do not belong in America. You would fit right in, in Venezuela, the socialist paradise with lots of clinton style corruption..
Go Trump Go!
This is closer than I expected.
The pollsters have mud all over their faces. No way does Hillary win the electrol college
Clinton has been Trumped! Cannot get any better!
Mish, We need some comments tonight as Trump grabs the ring.
All the lies cast doubt over most, few did not waiver.
Trump wins… he will hold Wisconsin & Arizona and likely either Nevada and/or New Hampshire + the one district in Maine. Might even hold in Michigan as well. Repubs control House & Senate. Watching Young Turks meltdown.. simply divine 🙂
Fox News is is very negative towards a Trump Presidency… MSM is sooo out of touch with the not so “Silent Majority”.
Trump has pulled ahead narrowly in PA. Even without it, he was poised to win. So it looks to be over.
It has come down to Michigan, and the depopulation of democratic stronghold Detroit in recent years is giving the state and the win to Trump.
Bad behavior Trumped bad character.
This is a major FU to the dishonest media that pulled every trick in the book to rig the election in favor of Hillary!!!
What an establishment meltdown!!!
Against all odds!!!
NEVER EVER EVER BELIEVE POLLS AGAIN!!!
If Trump pulls this off he’s a genius!!!
LIKE
LIKE – I’m staying up watching Pa and Mi. I want to narrow it down to what county actually trips the win wire. There are 3 counties left between the two states not counted yet and not sure how they slip the absentee vote in. Just kinda interested.
On this day can we all spare a thought for the bonfire of Nate Silver’s vanities?
LIKE
10:00 PST and all Trump needs is PA and it looks like he has it plus several other states.
What a relief!
Well Mish, what do you think Trump’s chances are NOW?
Unfortunately Donald’s chances in Mish’s state have always been zero. My state too but at least I have great weather and geography.
Meanwhile, back at Hillary headquarters:
“Somber scenes at Clinton’s NYC election night party
After a confident beginning to the night, scenes are very somber now at Clinton’s NYC election night party at the Javits center.
Fox News’ Serafin Gomez reports that after people had been seen crying, supporters In the audience are full out sobbing. People have also started leaving although many are still remaining to support their candidate.”
I’d give a month’s pay to see the damage she does to that hotel room tonight. Bill’s gonna be writing a big check out of the Clinton Plantation fund and he just might want to sleep far away… The spirit of Lorena Bobbitt might visit Hillary during the night.
Incredible reluctance of media to declare states at near impossible chances for HRC.
hill is probably zonked out on her meds
