I knew it wasn't a sure thing cause I trust .538 and they were only calling it 70% for Clinton or something, but I still didn't really believe he would win.


When he won Florida. That was the 1st big state and it was called kinda quick and Ohio was a massacre. I just remember having this look on my face all night:what:

Yeah, that was about my pace for it too. For a while the "called" states were still all falling in a way that could give Clinton a slight victory, but when Florida and Ohio went together it started looking suspect as fukk. Over the course of the night I was more like :gucci:....:sadcam:....:sadcam:.....:sadcam:....:sadcam:...:dwillhuh::dwillhuh::dwillhuh::dwillhuh:

I didn't realize I cared as much as I did until it happened. I didn't give a shyt about Hillary and was expecting to be angry about her presidency, but I still expected it to be her presidency and not that giant orange blob-sack of everything wrong with America. Walked around in a half-daze the entire next day.

Honestly, once he was one of the last 3 Republicans in the race I knew he had it in the bag.

I bet $1000 with my 4 roommates in college that he'd become the next president ($250 a piece winner takes all).

I can't even vote :yeshrug:

I was saying trump was gonna whmin since feb 16. Every news channel was live reporting his rallies by the point. He was getting free, daytime press. I remember one day Hillary was giving a speech and MSNBC cut to Trumps cuz some maga clown attacked a black protester. I laffed.

It was obvious Trump had the win locked by March/Apirl Republican debates. It was everyone vs Trump


Candidates with the most press almost always win.

I knew he had a punchers chance when the p*ssy tape dropped before the debate. Any other regular politician would have been :lupe: timid as fukk. Offering apologies all over the place. Bowing down to women’s groups. Etc


He was going into a debate with a woman after he is caught on tape bragging about grabbing pussies. What does Trump do? He invites all the women who claim Bill Clinton harassed them to a press conference before the debate. Then he hits Hillary with a stone cold stunner of a one liner during the debate.

That’s when I saw. He can’t be shamed:merchant: The old school political tactic of digging up dirt on your openent and watching them squirm has zero affect on him:patrice: He will just bulldoze thru it. Throw out tons of bullshyt and the media will be focused on what he is saying about you.



Also I knew he had a chance because I don’t think some people realize how much republicans HATE Hillary. Since the 90’s they have hated her fiercely. So I knew people would vote against her not for Trump


Also his rally’s showed enthusiasm. Say what you want about Trump but he worked his ass off that last month. He was literally doing 3 rally’s a day. All 3 in different states. Hillary was doing barely one a day. Or she would send out her surrogates to do rally’s.

Even with all of that I assumed she would squeak out a win. In my mind I assumed it was a win win situation for Trump regardless. If he loses he had that Trump Network tv lined up. He was going to eat BIG off that. Bleed the Republicans dry. If he won.. well he is the president :manny:

I was riding and dying with 538 because they had been so accurate in 2012.

I had no idea Trump was going to win until PA came in that night.

I have been completely wrong with Trump predictions from when he rode down that escalator all the way to last week when Meller's report was released to the AG. :heh:

The silence in my department the next morning was deafening. Everybody was just sitting in their cubicle like :wow: .

the black cat is my crown...
there was no point that i should have known trump was going to win because it was never in the bag... he barely squeaked out a win.... that shyt could have easily gone the other way and hillary could have squeaked out the win...

however, events that were great causes for concern to me were....
- him winning states during the republican primary...
- trump/pence yard signs all over the place, but very few hillary yard signs....
- hillary passing out at the 9/11 memorial and being slapped up in van like a side of beef....
- dnc getting hacked....
- slow drip of emails being released through wiki leaks...
- and to put the motherfukkin' cherry on top (and i don't know how we've gone 4 pages and no one mentioned this), punk ass weiner sending out dikk pics to little girls with huma abedin's laptop that somehow had some of hillary's emails on it leading bytch ass comey to do the "we're reopening the investigation" speech.... fukk, i shyt the bed that day....​

I was out drinking with friends and watching election coverage and got too inebriated to understand it didn't matter California's votes weren't in yet, it was over because everybody knew Cali would go blue. I didn't realize they were ready to call it, so I was telling people, "Relax, they haven't counted California yet." :russ:

Got home and just laughed at the first mention of "President Donald Trump." :mjlol:

Couldn't tell my white female friends I was secretly very happy Hillary was humiliated. :pachaha:
