    It won't. Trump is going to win on the same margins Bush did in 04. He is basically getting those voters again.

    And maybe even a lawsuit (or two) brought before the Supreme Court.

    Trump's polling thought they would win Florida by 5 points. I don't see that happening even with a Trump victory. I think NC and VA were always expected to go for Trump. If Hillary wins either of those, then Trump will be in deep water no matter what happens in Florida, and Ohio. Things will get interesting if Trump can MI and/or MN.

    More votes have come in from Broward and Palm Beach and Trump has maintained his lead. I think it's pretty much over for Clinton there.

    Virginia had become a virtual lock for Clinton this will be a massive loss. If he pulls off Florida, Ohio, North Carolina and Virginia he is going to win the presidency

    She might and she could lose NC too.

    edit: and honestly, there is nothing she should have done differently. She would not have won if she was more liberal, and she could not have won if she was more conservative.
    The people are voting how they want to vote.
    They are endorsing a wall.
    They are endorsing a ban on Muslims.
    They are endorsing mass deportations of millions of illegal aliens.
    They are endorsing a ban on abortion.
    They are endorsing a lot more, but ultimately it's democracy and the majority rules.

    We may have all underestimated reality TV and the Apprentice. Oh my god.

    Could be that the millenials are too lazy to vote.

    Hillary is an incredibly unlikeable and untrustworthy candidate.

    Millennials are voting. Everyone is voting. The rural vote is voting.
