Into the final lap now after over 1 year of entertainment, education and excitement. Donald J Trump is nearly there against all expectations.

fruitboxjury pretty damn confident! Hilary will hold on to the states with huge populations that will push her electoral votes over the mark... Although we did throw a cheeky bet on a trump win as a joke because the odds were so ridiculous. Could turn out to be a big win for us.

I'm looking at this completely objectively. Just like with Brexit I was an outsider looking in.

fourmummy · 09/11/2016 02:45

She's now gone down to 46.5% (to win).

From Zerohedge twitter feed:

Jake Tapper: "This is going to put the polling industry out of business"

Chris1234567890 · 09/11/2016 02:46

Cant believe we're still in such limbo...... I promised myself a 2am cut off, assuming (though early) indications would have been more apparent by now.

My dilema, do I go past 3am to witness a Trump defeat? Dear Lordy... Id stay up all night for a win. Cant believe how close this is!!!!!!!

AlchemySchmidtsSmile · 09/11/2016 02:50

I am flailing people. It's 3.49 in Germany. Last time I fell asleep on the job I woke up to Brexit! Wink

'She's now gone down to 46.5% (to win).'

What is that on? What site is saying that?

Yeah they're releasing the polling was, well complete crap really.

No surprise to anyone that read wikileaks.

'No surprise to anyone that read wikileaks.'

Grin Absolutely

Oh also fruitboxjury we accurately predicted a Conservative majority in 2015.

The popular vote for Trump was quite obvious imo. I'm surprised the pollsters and bookies were so off the mark.

I should start my own polling company Wink

Polling technology is seriously flawed and there are big assumptions in their models.

Spinflight · 09/11/2016 02:57

"Oh also fruitboxjury we accurately predicted a Conservative majority in 2015."

Only on the night based on exit polls...

Previous to that they were talking with some certainty about a hung parliament.

gratesnakes · 09/11/2016 03:00

New York Times forecasts Trump 63 per cent

Fruitboxjury · 09/11/2016 03:06

US stock futures are down nearly 3%. again I hope you're right, I was just saying on the other election thread though that I can't see trump going quietly

Chris1234567890 · 09/11/2016 03:06

Im calling it a night. Its just getting tenser and tenser. Wow. Good Luck Claig!

claig · 09/11/2016 03:07

Trump victory odds on NYT rise to 66%, Hillary down to 34%, was 80%

Claig I'm following the Zerohedge twitter feed (I put up a link to it earlier). It updates regularly with good info..

claig · 09/11/2016 03:20

The bookies are calling a Trump victory.

Don't think he'll get it. Even though we'd make some nice money off a silly bet, I think he's a dangerous man.

I'm flailing and off to bed xx

fourmummy · 09/11/2016 03:24

Claig Did you think you'd see a statement like this?

"Markets Crash, Peso Plunges To Record Low As Trump Looks Likely Winner" (Zerohedge)

Spinflight · 09/11/2016 03:27

Trumps taken Ohio, no idea why they haven't called Florida.

I reckon Nevada will clinch it.

claig · 09/11/2016 03:31

AgainPlease, see you tomorrow.

'"Markets Crash, Peso Plunges To Record Low As Trump Looks Likely Winner" (Zerohedge)'

I did think there would be panic as Trump won. The markets will recover, but the elites will run. If Trump beats them, they are done.

Hey Claig

I don't know you, I just remember you from Eurovision all those months ago.
Can I ask and you really don't have to answer, I am being a nosey bugger.
What nationality and gender are you and are you a republican/conservative or an anarchist? Genuinely curious. I remember you predicting a Trump win months ago. Did you vote Brexit?

Spinflight · 09/11/2016 03:42

New York Times saying Trump win 91%...
