Ah. It is far from over and decided but it is no cruise to victory for Clinton and that is much to be celebrated.

Yes but really I don't think VA formed any realistic part of Trumps path to victory. Much more interesting prospects opening up in the MId West

I should have put money on it. I didn't for Brexit and I didn't on this. I don't know why I didn't just put some on both. He hasn't won yet - I still don't think he will. Florida is a pre-requisite to winning but doesn;t give him victory. I think it will be a lot closer than expected in VA, MI, MN etc but probably all those will still be Democrat. 'zactly, he can't afford to miss a beat to hear all hail the chief, HRC can. Sorry gin and getting mesmerised by the pattern recogniton fodder

Virginia definitely for Clinton. She's ahead now with 20% to come.

Still about 250k voters to count in Broward but possibly not quite enough (if they break the same way as those already counted they give a Clinton lead of around 80k and Trump leading by 110 at the moment in Fla

Massive polling failure whatever the final outcome. Clear now that the Obama-era Democratic Party's flirtation with headcount politics has been a catastrophic error.

Actually Florida looks in the bag now I did tell you! It looks like Trump has bagged enough states in the Mid-West to win the presidency. Lets not be hasty, a lot of Detroit results have to come in yet - Trump is not going to be in the 40s in Wayne County even if he's winning. Most of the Republican suburbs of Milwaukee have reported already while quite a lot of Milwaukee county and Dane County (State capital Madison) have yet to report. *Repeats this to self while curling up in foetal position.*

At this rate, there's going to be a lot of money placed on Le Pen to win next year.

98% votes in in Broward. Trump leading in Florida by 1.5% of the vote. I did tell you that Florida would go Trump. According to BBC website Trump is 1-5% ahead in Florida with 98.6% of the vote counted! Then BBC expert says he can't call as there are still some votes left to count. I can call - Trump win !! (assuming BBC website correct!)

No. What followed the 1930s was a long and brutal war which we eventually won. Any war that stems from the global rise of the extreme right and its subsequent conflict with civilised countries will be far more devastating than WWII. A second Cold War is more likely to follow if the Trumpanzees and their ilk succeed in several countries; racist isolationism will have to be bled out slowly like communism was in the USSR.
