My source had made an arithmetic error!

The tie scenario is the FP wins either Wisconsin or Minnesota (but not both), and also Arizona, but the PWC wins Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and the other of Wisconsin or Minnesota.

I don't think there's much possibility of getting enough electors to defect to the Мастер insurgent campaign.

So much for HuffPo saying Clinton had a 98% chance of winning.

Slate was even more ambitious saying that Hillary had a 99% chance and that their modelling would put all the other poll aggregators out of business.

I was feeling uneasy during these last days, because the one website I trust on this, fivethirtyeight.com, didn't stop, not once, to admonish everyone that this was far from a done deal for the PWC. After the tird debate, they had an article titled "Hillary Clinton probably finished off Donald Trump last night", which said, basicalyy, "robably, probably, probably, IF!!! nothing happens". That was the most they gave her. Then the FBI boss made his attempt at rigging the election.

If anyone's interested, I cant' see any humour in this. I am really, genuinely afraid of what this guy will do to his country and the world. In the Kremlin, corks are popping right now. Be prepared for an armed attack on the Baltic states during the next four years. Man, would I like to be proven wrong on this.

This hit very close to home for me. He wants to take away MY health insurance. There will be no way for me to get my meds or see my doctors.

This could, very literally, kill me.

Fuck, that is serious. So they are replacing Obamacare with a general issue of bootstraps or do you have to provide your own? Bootstraps made in Mexico by The Trump Bootstrap Company of course.

I have always been leery of Pence since he seems a true believer rather than a snake oil salesman, I came across this in a comment section today:

"As a Hoosier, let me extend my sympathies to the rest of the country. Co-President* Pence is even worse than you’re thinking. I feel especially bad for women and LGBTQs. You guys are in for a hell of a ride.

*- I’m assuming Pence got the same offer that Kasich turned down: handle foreign and domestic affairs because Trump only wants the title not the job. So we can also enjoy a tantrum every now and again as a breathe of fresh air while we’re working on reenacting The Handmaiden’s Tale. Fun!"

I felt obliged to post this on Facebook... (And yes, the "praying" part is those of my friends who believe in that.)

The former. Uncle Volodya is just itching to further test NATO's resolve. And since he can count on the D saying, eh, who's interest in Baltics and other Muslim tarrists anyway, he is not unlikely to try. And Mutti isn't going to send in too many of our sons either.

Last I looked, wednesday evening, Michigan was still holding out,. trump leading by a tenth of a percentage point. And Arizona of all places was also still a tossup.

So Reagan would have won Michigan in 1984. Any Republicans since then?

I'm not sure this phenomenon will last, as the tally will probably get adjusted a bit, but the last popular vote count I saw had PWC with about 220,000 more votes nationally than FP. (Both were less than 50%.)

In the train station yesterday, a heard a woman's rather whiny voice repeatedly shouting, "Donald!" I believe the owner of this voice was riding an escalator on a level somewhat below where I was, but I was not able to spot her. A man's voice (not mine) soon called out quite loudly, "Shut the fuck up!"
