PBS NewsHour is talking to a Trump surrogate, so time to hit mute.

I like The Guardian's map, too.

People REALLY need to stay awake, even if Clinton appears to win, to see how this part of what the Guardian shows so effectively pans out.

This affects the next four years almost as much as the Presidency, because losing the Senate = blocked appointments. Losing the House isn't quite as bad, but still means lots of blocked laws.

Smugness?  Speaking only for myself, I had CONFIDENCE that the majority of our country wasn't bigoted, misogynistic, hateful bullies. It appears I could've been very, very wrong.

Not only could I not fall asleep, I couldn't even stay lying down. Hillary is going to survive a Trump presidency better than a lot of Americans, but I feel indescribably sorry for her tonight.

If HC loses, one of the main reasons is because she's a woman. No one will ever convince me otherwise.

It does sound like there are still more outstanding votes in Dade and other big counties to make up for it.

Also, Broward hasn't reported much yet.

It's pretty much in the populated areas.

I'm flipping between that and CNN. I hid my remote so that I'd stay focused on puppies and kittens, but I can't stop flipping. This election is like crack.

I wasn't going to watch live - I planned to throw in a West Wing DVD and just check back once in a while, but I can't not watch it as it happening, even knowing early results in a lot of places will swing back and forth and make me crazy.

Florida looks like a squeaker for Trump--and a win for Rubio, yuck, Florida. 

Very glad about Duckworth--yay! 00over hideous Mark Kirk.   Dems could still get 50/50 in senate.

67/66 electoral so far.

Hillary's leading the Electoral College 68-57 right now. Right? Or where are we at now that Trump got Arkansas??

To the poster who mentioned Dana Bash & John King, they've been divorced since 2012. They were married 2008-2012.

Broward is a big Democratic county, we can hope

I think they are waiting on Dade as well - which has a large latino population which, I believe,  is primarily for Hillary.

They did an interview with some Drumpf supporter and she bleated out that Hillary is untrustworthy and when they asked about Drumpf she said he will bring positive change. And that's it!  She couldn't give one goddammed specific thing that she thought Drumpf was going to bring to the table.  

I also saw another poll that white college-educated women were against HRC and I need to speak to these women, as I am one and don't get it.

68-66 for Hill right now.  I hope it only goes up and up for her from here.

Those fucking Johnson voters (so far) in Florida are taking at least twice as many votes as Trump is leading Clinton by.  Even the Stein voters are taking almost enough to have tipped it the other way.

Fucking protest votes...

I saw that white college educated people in general were usually more for Republicans, and have been for many elections - they are surprised she has the amount she has based on the past - however if they narrow it to women in particular, Hillary has a lead.

Maybe there has been more recent info since I last looked though.

AR (Arkansas) went to the Orange Menace. They haven't called AK (Alaska) yet.

Just remember - CA has 55 EC Votes and is pretty much guaranteed to go to Hillary. That's part of the reason she doesn't HAVE to win FL, though it would certainly help.

I live in San Diego, and I know who I and nearly all of my friends, voted for and it wasn't the Oompa Loompa.

Has anyone heard of anything unusual happening anywhere?  Is there reason to believe that all will go as expected?  It doesn't sound like any upsets yet.  I mean at the county level.  I'm sure they've all calculated every single county in FL or NC in polls, right?  Any counties going not as expected?

So I'm going to say this now, and hate me as you will - Steve Schmidt has been the most honest, and heartbroken Republican in this cycle.  And I love and appreciate that - we need a strong two party system and what is going now with the GOP is terrifying.  He should run for office.  He's a patriotic citizen and what he's seeing is breaking his civic heart - which is what should be happening.  More of him please.

So stressed.  Am I the only one who has already shed tears over this?!

Nope.  I saw the breakdown for Ohio, and was like please, let it be true!  Sickened for the future of this country if Drumpf gets elected.

Hillary Clinton has to win big or Donald is going to cry 'rigged'.  I hate seeing this dragged on even longer than it has.

68 electoral votes for Hillary   66 electoral votes for Trump

According to MSNBC, it's 75-Clinton; 72-Drumpf.

Nope.  That seemed to be how my anxiety over this election chose to manifest this morning -- I cried at about half a dozen things.  Then I was calm for much of the day, and then I turned into a basket case as polls started closing.
