Sky has Trump 25 away from victory. He could lose Michigan and Pennsylvania and still win this.

British Trump Bashers - You Lose?

Groveling appologies required by those outspoken detractors who recklessly nailed their colours to the mast. They include Westminster, the Regions, the Establishment, and all the Media. They haven't learned a thing over recent British elections!

We now have to find a path to a smooth relationship with the new president of our best friends and soul mates. I hope Trump is more conciliatory than you lot?

Only Jill Stein as a presedential candidate is a left-winger. So no, it's not.

The pollsters are still predicting a win for Clinton in the popular vote, but seeing as that isn't how the winner is decided, it's not particularly relevant.

It's all relative. For months the polls have had Clinton win and most likely with a Democratic senate too.

President Trump? What has the political elite done to the US? Strange days indeed.

Never trust the polls.

The world is going to learn the hard way

I think the FBI's actions have helped Trump. They may have given her a clean bill of health 48 hours before polling day but not before Trump had been given a week to berate her for the emails. I think enough of his mud has managed to stick, and that's done for her.

Clinton to win by four points

Beautiful stuff this. Turns out people in America don't like being unjustly labelled horrible things either.

Things like racist, xenophobic and sexist? Because Trump is all three of those things as are millions of his supporters. They may not like being labelled as such but the labels are certainly just.

Trump voters saying Trump's remarks about women, Muslims, Mexicans, building the wall just banter and media spin, it seems the media and all politicians all corupt too.

I get it.

In the aftermath Democrats and their supporters will nevertheless arrive at a narrative where they will say his voters were not voting for a Hard Trump, but a Soft Trump.

So dry your eyes, this may not be all over yet........

Wow. You can be openly racist, sexist and lie your arse off constantly. And very few people give a shit.

It's like the good old days in Britain....

Crazy world at the moment, I fully expect Russia to seriously start pushing its weight around.

As a English person living in the States for the last 15 years, this is by far and away the lowest point I have experienced, my wife is in tears, and my kids are going to sleep scared of their future. Seriously scary future.
