    If Trump wins, I hope the uneducated white voters are happy the next four years

    Well Trump is up in OH, but again they are saying that only 1/3 of the vote in from Cleveland, and less than half in from the Columbus OH. So that will favor Clinton, but she does have an uphill battle.

    I think Hillary is barely winning in the urban areas, and Trump is winning huge in the rural areas. So it's helping Trump out. So far nothing that Hillary was expected to win has gone for Trump, but that could change in a very short amount of time.

    They will be. They have no 401k, and they will feel better about themselves when all the minorities are doing worse off than they are after the market drops over the next few years. We will not be better off in 4 years, but we were not going to be better off if Clinton won either.

    I think Hillary still wins. But I think everyone underestimated the rural vote.

    Trump is way more competitive in blue counties than he should have been. This is way way more competitive than it should have been.

    Trump is leading both Michigan and Wisconsin with about 15% reporting.

    Looks like a coin flip at this point. Market already reacted.

    Really? I was hoping that if Clinton wins, all the mexicans, blacks, and females gets what she really feels about them.

    Keep cucking it up like a loser bro. Bend over backwards and congratulates the other when you lose

    If this doesn't show you what people really think of the Clintons I don't know what will. Even if he loses he won.

    Honestly, I am quite stunned. Never expected Trump to have such a backing and get so many votes.

    All those silent Repubs who said they will never vote for Trump are indeed voting for him and polls show it.

    Never did I think it will be so close. I guess credit to Trump? Or we do indeed have lot of stupid in this country
