I think it's fair to say that Trump will take Wisconsin, but also you have Georgia, Arizona, Iowa, and most surely New Hampshire.

SO much for the so called deadly wall of FL and OH being the so called deciders. I think Trump stumping on lost jobs, banks and their supporters, bad trade, jobs going overseas, manufacturing eating it -- he made a HUGE dent in the union people. I'm seeing stuff so far where a GOP member would be lucky to pull 30% and he's pulling 50%+ among union types. I don't care for him but this is damned funny as it mocks the polls, mocks the media, mocks the whole damn stupid system and how it has been f'ing middle and middle lower class whites, blacks, hispanics, etc with the DNC giggling playing blame games. Seems someone finally got enough people to realize they were lied to as the cheeto messiah here should have in any other year been shut out long ago, shut out in the primaries no less. I think people are sick of it all including the class warfare playing people against people crap too.
Is the irony of this post intentional?

Couldn't agree with you more man. :)
It never fails I run into quite a few of them, and really just want to knock some sense into them....this election is bizarre enough without the non-voters getting riled up...though here i am saying I wasn't going to be one watching the results coming in but here i am XD

This race could come down to Nebraska...NEBRASKA!

I'm sitting here in disbelief how close this is. I didn't vote for either one of them, I did a write-in, but this is nuts.

Well it's because even though unions lean left they can not force their members to do their cronism. Many of them are losing jobs, getting pay cuts, if not them family and friends and they're pissed off. He played that one like a champ.

RIght now there's a very strong chance Trump wins this, and not even with a majority.

I see him getting the 1 EC of split Maine, he'll get all of Nebraska, and he will get Arizona. He just needs New Hampshire to make 269 and that locks her in with that.

Then the INCOMING (not sitting) house members vote for President, a republican controlled congress. Game over.

He just needs to hold on to AZ, NH, and that 1 EC in Maine and it's done. As it is, still a chance to just shut it down with PA and MI too which is freaky.

Google polls currently show republicans winning POTUS, senate, and congress. No idea if it'll hold, but an interesting moment.

I wonder how long it's been since that kind of thing has happened. Really has to be rare for a party to hold all three...

CNN right now: "Looks like a lot of Sanders supporters went and voted Trump."

And why wouldn't they? If we're really honest Hillary is a polar opposite last I checked compared to him...

I think this has come down to how disgruntled some Americans are, and those being Americans that don't usually vote. Trump has tapped in to a group of Americans that, for better or for worse, are a bit tired of the political system. Obviously, some of, maybe the majority of these voters, are people that are raciest, but some of them are also hard working people that are just losing their jobs, not because they don't do them well, but because companies are trying to survive. I live in coal country and this is the major reason why some people that haven't voted in years have come out this year.

I don't agree that Trump will fix anything, in fact, he will probably make it worse. My best hope for this election, being a conservative was for Hillary to win and the Republicans retain the Senate. I got one half of that, but now I'm looking at a mad man becoming President of the United States. My most hopeful wish now is that this drives both parties to cross the aisle to stop this orange time bomb from messing things up too bad.

One would assume if they actually respected Sanders they would have done as he asked and voted Hillary. So they're really in the "burn it down" camp.
