Bradley Effect?

I pointed out months ago that people could be lying on these polls because they don't want to face the "shame" of saying they're voting for Trump. Even if Trump doesn't win, I think tonight's results have proven I was onto something.

The gym is going to be empty in the morning with half the people moving to canada, half of them blowing their brains out, and the other half being all hung over from partying.

Swole math.

Good night, I don't even care about this. :-)

Fox called Florida for Trump. CNN seems to be playing things more cautiously.

Trump is probably going to win Wisconsin, but might lose Michigan where he'd ahead.

My FB feed looks like Doomsday has arrived. (I have a lot of left wing friends and family.)

The marijuana ballot measure in California passed, legalizing recreational pot for adults ages 21 and older. With 55 percent in favor and 45 percent opposed, the results lined up with the polls we looked at. Marijuana is now legal on the Pacific coast from Mexico to Canada.
Well at least some good happened.

Fox is calling Iowa and Wisconsin for Trump. 538 confirmed Iowa. CNN finally admitted he won Florida.

Finding the bright side, maybe he won't fuck up the SCotUS?

Maybe this time it wont be a spending frenzy, and we'll actually get some good government.

Psshhh, sorry. Just reliving my youthful, optimistic days.

California is in shock right now. Did vote to legalize it, though. So I can at least forget this year given enough of the green.

Hillary HQ live cam. Pretty sad people, there. Get your schadenfreude on.

They keep showing people who went expecting an all-night party, and it looks like they are contemplating suicide.

My facebook is making me sad, people saying the problem with america is that it's full of bigots and racists. Sigh.

Also I have a dollar that says we hear a SHITLOAD in the MSM, this time, about voter fraud and suppression for the next two years, and I can say, "Told ya."

I'm not sure how to accurately gauge a "shitload" for the purposes of the bet, though.
