When are results coming in?

11pm EST is when the last polls close. So probably not too long after that.

how many times does he have to repeat it for you to believe it ? I'm sure he said it more than 300-500 times in front of crowds/in interviews/on national TV - how many times?

Didn't Merkel throw out "Wir schaffen das!" hundreds of times? Am I supposed to believe anything someone involved in politics says, as long as it's repeated often enough?

The first thing that comes to mind in both cases is "How?", but I don't think a satisfying answer was given in either case.

It's called bluster, take a populist approach pander to peoples suspicion of politics, talk  it up with enough hot air to show the world that you are responsible for global warming , have an ego and thank heavens that you got Hilary of all people to target.

I have a feeling that the main driver is his personality, and that the strategy is built around that havinghit a nerve with a section of the  voting public. the fact that he hasn't held office unlike say a Romney' means he can play the independent non conformist card a role that suits his I'm the boss style and don't give a damn attitude, traits that  might not work well once your in office but do well on the hustings. 

So I guess what I'm getting at, is he is playing  the role that circumstance tailor made for him rather than one he directed himself.

I wish more employers were like you, instead of denying full time to their employees for benefit cut purposes; which causes havoc in the everyday operations, especially around holidays.

When it comes to military, I'm the opposite. Congress needs to hold Pentagon responsible for their over expenditure and corporate welfare to contractors that overcharge the government for sh*tty jobs: Haliburton!

We are going to spend 1 trillion dollars on a Joint Strike Force jet, that has proven time and time again unreliable and overkill for our needs. And that's just Lockheed Martin. A group of generals, were tasked to supervise the project with 100 personnel and their cost of operation after a year or so was $300 million dollars and they couldn't explain the congress where that money was placed.

I agree, our military needs to be restructured.I would say that this applies to the whole U.S government though.I don't know what it would take for that to happen, seems impossible right now.

Military Industrial Complex depends too much on those government funds. If we don't get lobbyists out of congress, we're never gonna get that done.



For anyone interested who isn't using an election map, currently early voting from Kentucky, New Hampshire, and Indiana have come in with Trump leading at 68% and Hillary with 27%. Since less than 1% have been accounted for thus far, expect things to look tighter pretty soon
