i dont know much about how voting in America works but from my eyes it looks like trump has basically won, does Clinton still have a chance at this point? Cos I kno some states are worth more points or something ye

It's extremely unlikely now, he's even winning Pennsylvania which was meant to be a big win for Clinton. A lot of the half-reported states are leaning towards Trump, so when the rest of the people in those areas get counted up the electoral college votes will go even higher for him. It's unbelievable stuff and just shows what a bad choice Hillary was for the Democrats really

We are so ****

Buy a lot of dollars tomorrow, pound should be strong against it for a little while just because of how reactionary everyone is these days

Not sure if playing dumb or not lol. Doesn't take too much research (BBC News has done extensive coverage on how it works) to learn about it!

Agree on that point FJ, it really is showing just how terrible Hillary was as the democratic nominee.

"Other stuff to do". Literally one article would have helped explain the entire final process.

But OK, whatever. Not everyone has an interest in Politics (although judging by you posting in this thread..? )

I cant wait to see what changes Donald make to the Trump House

Interesting graphic on BBC just now showing that Hillary needs to somehow swing AT LEAST 2 of the states that she's currently losing to get it. Pennsylvania and Michigan couldddd go with her but looking less and less likely. On a lighter note this Scottish guy on at the moment keeps saying "latino/latina" in a really bad Spanish accent and it's hilarious

According to some reports Nevada has now gone to Clintz as expected

First he's gonna build a wall. Can't stand open plan

You're mistaking opinions with facts, I thought that was Dan's territory

Half of America has voted for him. Clearly, they don't view him as dangerous - at least to America.
