1:40am to 2:10am.
NSC got the half hour that turned the night into my nightmare. 2 hours sleep then up for the cricket.

Same here Knocky1 I'm shattered.

Much as I don't support Trump at all this result is a backlash against the political elite that has ruled most of the Western world for decades - as was Brexit - and indeed Greece. Next will be Spain, France, Italy and The Netherlands. I wonder how long before the political elite get the hint and actually start to listen to the people ?

EDIT - and those MP's planning of trying to hinder A50 should take careful note.

Putin, Kim jong un, Trump. Wow...Scary !!!!!!!!!!!!

Plus ISIS causing havoc. And little ole Britain will soon be independent and have to stand alone when world war 3 comes along.

I think it's brilliant and different.....different is good and needed!!!

You're right of course...



Different enough for you ?

UK foreign policy will now basically have to fawn over Trump and keep telling the narcissist how great he is.

I hope Boris realises this, and it's something I'm sure he's good at.

May should get on the phone to Farage and offer him a new job ... US ambassador. Silver linings, we are no longer at the back of the queue for trade deals and the £ will probably gain some lost ground.

Not really. It just shows what idiots people are, same as Brexit.

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?

Idiot

Anyone would think that YOU are part of that political elite. They didn't listen .... this is the result.

In all seriousness, Clinton will get at least 300 electoral votes, I actually think she'll get to 350. Florida is in the bag, which is the election, but the question is how much of a win it's going to be. It might be close in the popular vote, but in terms of the overall final score, it's not going to be close.

Remind me not to take any notice of your "predictions" in the future.

I'm not though am I. I just disagree with you.

He's going to '' make America great again'' ... control of the Senate control of the House of Representatives...no excuses ..will he be up to the job

Difference is that I disagree with you but I don't call you an idiot for doing so.

BBC World Service interviewed Beijing University students this week. They said they wanted Trump to win as Clinton would be more critical of their human right abuses!

Like them or not, a lot of people have sided with them. A mass of the populace seem to be so determined to shake up the old order, the ruling elite, that any change is acceptable, however risky it may seem. They are good communicators and both appear strong and charasmatic leaders and speak their minds, however much that offends some others. This garners popular appeal and fills people with real hope of change. What a lot of people don't want is a continuation of the present. To them, that is unacceptable and any change, however difficult, is welcome.

Popular appeal and convincing words. Let's now see the deeds.

I think Clinton must be even more unpopular than we thought - that must be as big as factor as any attraction that voting Trump has.
