Election Day Poll No. Whatever

If Clinton wins, I agree with Ragu. People get overexcited as elections near. Hell, I sure do. But if Trump wins, consequences are unpredictable. A sizable subset of his supporters are looking for actions to restore white male social dominance, something that'd be impossible to accomplish through constitutional means. If they become disappointed, they're liable to lash out. Tell you one thing. Every battered woman/domestic violence crisis center will be on full scale red alert Tuesday night. Win or lose, some louts are gonna take out their emotions on their women partners.

 

I think Clinton is going to win, but it's going to be awfully close, because she has, in fact, run one of the worst campaigns in my memory, which goes back to the 60s. And because there are lot more pissed-off people in flyover land than anyone on either coast realizes, and a lot of those are what I call silent Trump voters. That is, reasonably intelligent people who would never publicly admit to voting for Trump, but who will give him their support on Tuesday.

As for me, I am voting for Gary Johnson. I made that decision months ago, and nothing that has happened since has persuaded me to change. I have the luxury of living in a state where a third-party vote isn't going to change the outcome of the election. Mississippi's electoral votes are going to go to Trump by a margin of about 3-1, maybe more. My two sons are also voting Johnson, my daughter for Clinton, my wife for Trump; my brother in Texas is also voting Libertarian, my sister in Louisiana is backing Hillary and I'm not sure who my other sister, also in Texas, is voting for. She's a weird combination of conservative and environmentalist. I don't think my folks, who are in their mid-80s, have ever voted for a Democrat and they certainly won't start now.

Talk from all of that what you will.

 

Trump is going to win. He's going to flip a state that we don't expect him to flip, and he's going to win. He's fucking Mr. Brexit. I'm already prepared for it. I'm not moving to Quebec.

 

A scattered response, and I'll bet your family was much more unified in its votes in the prior four elections. That's why this one is so hard to call.

 

We all know what happened to the Buffalo Trumps in the Super Bowl that year. I guess that means America is fucked, unless Don Beebe can save us.

 

Eh. You see one Reich, you've seen em all.

 

Well played! Might see the Fourth Reich next week.

 

You win.

 

Nervous, but I think Clinton wins. Numbers right now are very similar to 2012. Dems had superior ground game. And Trump's ground game is nonexistent.

I think Clinton ends up winning Florida, based on early voting. And that's ballgame.

If things start to break Clinton's way all over (a BIG if), my upset special is Georgia.

Demographics have shifted. And last Dem to win there? Bill Clinton.

 

My upset special is Arizona. I don't think she can quite get there. Romney won it by 9 and that is probably too much ground to make up. But the reports and numbers on new Hispanic voters out there are insane.
