I am right leaning but 100% voting for Clinton. The "I'm a white male so I'm racist" stuff got old FAST and the far left needs to learn that does not win over voters.

naw, democrats don't have an identity crisis. they're in the same position as the republicans were in 2008, except their usual demographics are growing.

Do not. If he wins (which is unfortunately likely), it is only 4 or 8 years at worst. I expect his shitty presidency will get a whiplash like Bush's had, which gave us Obama. I expect a long awaited Democrat rebound in 4 years. Still, obstructionist GOP assholes most likely keeping Obama's Supreme Court nominee out is making me seriously angry.

They were saying earlier on CNN that Hilary isn't getting near the women's vote that polling showed she would. Anyone know if that's accurate?

Some of them do, that's the thing. And with rhetoric like that you alienate them and push them towards the crazies.
You survived 8 years of Bush. You can do it again.

The fact that this is even up in the air at all is fucking embarrassing and sad.

Trump took Florida? A place where he lagged on polls and didn't have a solid ground game?
What?
What?
Are people still pretending there's no way a significant portion of them were motivated by one of Donald's main talking points.

Fox called WI for trump and that he has 269 at the minimum. Which would mean the worst a tie with Hilary and the house would vote for the winner....

Good. That shit should be ignored like supermarket checkout tabloids.
Come back in a couple of years and let us know if you still think the same.

I'm jealous of people who can uproot their entire life and just move to another country. I can't imagine leaving my friends, family and life at the drop of a hat like that. For good or bad i'm staying in the USA.
Cool, right along with the rest of the country.
Trump will end the night with almost 300 electoral votes.

This is my guess too. Sadly.
ACA is dead. People with pre existing condition will now not get healthcare. Don't have money? Tough shit. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps, if you can even stand up. Potential for Medicare to be turned into a voucher program.
Immigration reform is dead. Some form of increased border presence will absolutely happen. Even if it is just an expensive ineffectual wall. Deportations of some measure will happen. Anti-immigrant sentiment will become more accepted and normalized. If you are hispanic you are going to have a rough time. Muslim? Good luck.
Conservative SC for a generation or more. Expect to see more rulings in the vein of Citizens United. Corporations will be cemented as people and they have more money and power than you. Oh and forget about restoring the VRA. Voter suppression of minorities will continue throughout the country. Gay marriage is probably unlikely to be affected but negative rulings against transgender rights may be common place at least at the state level. Republican gerrymandering will continue further cementing control across the country.
Foreign policy wise expect the US to get more heavily entangled in the middle east and a George W. Bush level x 100 of general disrespect toward our allies. Also expect to see a level of nationalist fervor unprecedented in American politics. Putin will be given free reign. We will also see unnecessary and potentially massive increases in military spending. Potential is also here for American forces to support goals that more align with Putin's than the overall wishes of NATO. Any hopes for "small" government will be eradicated by money thrown away in foreign entanglements.
As for the economy Trump is not going to help working class people in places like Michigan. Their jobs are not coming back. The Republican party will not spend the money necessary to help them retrain and enter new fields. Creating a green manufacturing industry was one possible way for this happen. It won't. Trump believes global warming is a conspiracy created by the Chinese.
Taxes will be cut drastically for the 1%. This will further exacerbate the divide between the rich and poor. There will not be an increase in the minimum wage. Government will continue to subsidize the wages of companies like Walmart with food stamps, medicaid and other welfare programs. The people that voted Trump will be the ones most affected by this and they will just blame minorities. Many will also now go without healthcare as the ACA will be destroyed, leaving those that qualified for medicaid or subsidized care without options. They will just blame minorities and many will blame Obamacare long after its dead.
As far as the American political climate Trump's election will make the white nationalist candidate commonplace. You will see many mini-Trumps at the state level across the nation. Qualifications for office like experience in law or politics on some level will now be considered as not required. Celebrities will more likely to run and more likely to win. The American people will reward Republicans for a functioning government not caring that the only reason it is functioning is that Republicans are in full control and no longer obstructing everything.
Following this in 2020 America will re-elect Donald Trump
what if
It goes to the House. Pretty sure House is republican, so still Trump.

Which is absolutely impossible when the side that needs to be changed isn't interested in facts.
What are we supposed to do? If we look at racism, sexism, and bigotry, and treat all of that like it's in any way legitimate, that's not going to help, that's going to make things worse. That's part of how we got where we are now - the media held up Trump as Hillary's equal, when he isn't even close, and his surrogates were given just as much if not more screen time as hers.

Fucking Democrats.
This should have been a smooth and easy win.

Don't run, fight. I've been telling you guys in political threads that this government is designed this way. It's never been broken. You've never had a voice.
