Ohio called for Trump and it looks to be a good win by 10%+.
How Ohio goes so goes the nation!

Does anybody else feel like we're living through a re-run of the 1930s? Don't be silly That's not silly. History repeats itself all the time, it's another instance of it. 1929=2008 currently = the 30's 2020's=1940's?

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.*Trump's making massive gains across Michigan. It's not enough for Clinton to "hold on" in Detroit (which is all she's managing) whilst Trump dominates the vote in the rest of Michigan. Agreed it's looking a lot less bright in Michigan, even with only half of results in, the fact Trump is winning counties like Saginaw and Calhoun is astonishing. If low turnout in Detroit is true then a Trump win is looking plausible.

My post has been buried, but I think the 2020s will bear a closer similarity to the 50s and 60s than the 40s. Cold War is more likely than total war, although if total war does happen (and it could if Trump is stupid enough; the chances are certainly higher than in the last Cold War), then entire countries will be utterly destroyed. Humanity can be an extremely exasperating species.

We are in sight of history being made and the defeat of Hilary. Oh boy. The year that keeps on giving. Excitement after excitement. Wow!

If low turnout in Detroit is true then a Trump win is looking plausible. Saginaw is not exactly homogenous, and Calhoun is pretty red outside Battle Creek. Trump is overperforming expectations, but don't draw too many conclusions just yet.

If low turnout in Detroit is true then a Trump win is looking plausible. The Democrats are even down in their heartlands in Michigan (look at what's happened in Wayne!): he's clearly won. The Detroit precincts are always the later reporting precincts in Wayne, its only 1/3 in*. Macomb county is looking very worrying though too. *I fully realise this is me trying to lie to myself, to prevent from having a Dok-style breakdown.

Some results are so strange, just compare OH and PA, MI&WI with IA, CO!

I don't think any country outside the BRIC's has the economic base to have a 50s/60s experience its downhill all the way for the rest of "us", unless of course we get total war

Let's not get carried away. Trump has clearly exceeded most expectations, but there's every possibility it could be close, but no cigar.

Trump 1.5% ahead in Florida with 99.3% of the vote counted.
Why has this still not been called ??

Macomb county is looking very worrying though too. *I fully realise this is me trying to lie to myself, to prevent from having a Dok-style breakdown. Yes it's basically official now as he's got the numbers. Washtenaw County is only 7% in, Macomb County is only 15% in (and probably that's mostly northern Macomb) and in Wayne Detroit is still out. You don't know what you're talking about. Trump could still win Michigan, but your analysis is clueless.
