It's not over. But I will say this:

As an African American woman, I am so so disappointed. I know this country still hated me and the rest of us minorities, but I didn't realize that it was this widespread. Trump should have never gotten this far. I'm so disappointed tonight. It has less to do about the presidency, and almost everything to do about knowing how the general white America feels when he/she looks at me and a very large portion of the country. Disgraceful. Whether Clinton wins or not, very real learning experience this has been.

Yeah, it is pretty sad. It was sad the moment he actually won the Republican primary. I don't like so many of my fellow Americans voting for the most overtly racist and evil candidate in recent memory. Even in the event of some kind of blowout, his getting this far said a lot about how terrible many of our fellow Americans are.
 
I think the quote that captures the fear people have I just heard on the CBC feed "a Trump win would look like this, in the beginning"
 
This wasn't ever going to be another 2008 wave I guess despite the demographic shifts (even though I thought otherwise)

We just had 8 years of Obama and aren't coming off the start of the worst recession in ~80 years and 5 years of the Iraq War. Throw on Hilary's baggage and here we are.

I remember being disappointed in America when George W Bush won. I remember being even more disappointed when he won again.

That disappointment pales in comparison tonight.
 
If Trump wins, Canada needs to build a wall to prevent all the American's who want to leave America... and we should make America pay for it.

I'm so sorry you guys
 
So GAF, how is that landslide for you?
How is that "can never happen" thing going for you?
Alot of unexpected turns so far
 
So... the BBC polls were somehow more accurate than polls posted from the US? I'm not sure what's more embarrassing. Also I can't help but feel that there is something wrong when early voters were largely Hispanic and minorities and already collected votes don't show that. What, did the machines flip them to Trump?

I'm also guessing democrats vote later in the day, which means they should also come in later on the counting process.

I really can't believe any decent person would vote Trump.
 
I can see why you'd say that, but recall that Al Gore won the popular vote, overall in the United States, but lost because of the electoral college point system. (I think I'm looking at this correctly lol)

Yep, you're right. Gore won the popular vote, but lost the electoral college (and thus the election). And that's what that picture is showing right now.
 
If Trump wins, or if Hillary barely wins, someone has to serve up the hundreds of smug, supposedly well-informed NeoGAF posts over the past few months about how Trump is basically just handing over the election to Hillary, how the situation is not at all comparable to Brexit, how the generals are totally different from the primaries, etc. That way I'll know which posters to never take seriously again.
 
Clinton is leading by only a percentage point in Wayne County, Michigan. That’s a county Obama won by 48 percentage points. Either that result is wrong, a lot of the vote in Detroit (which is in Wayne County) is out, or the map is looking very different than it used to.
