So what does your gut tell you about tomorrow's election?

The Gremans have a term: Fingerspitzengefühl. Translated it means "finger tip feelings".

So turn out all the noise, the media, the spin. What does your gut tell you about tomorrow's election?

Let’s hope so.

Four years of listening to that witch shrieking will be more than any human being can stand.

At least I feel better about voting for Trump than I did McCain or Romney.

My gut tells me I am going to be highly outraged and, frankly, f’g disgusted. I will not forget the list of my friends who voted for Hillary, like I will not forget 9/11 or Benghazi.

2008, I knew we were going to lose. 2012, I had the slightest glimmer of hope, but was fairly certain we would lose. Today? I feel more confident than either 08 or 12.

The question to me is this, how many votes can the Democrats "create". And I am not talking about Fraud, I mean their GOTV efforts. They seem to be able to dredge up voters from the streets and soup kitchens, and get the lazy to vote, right when they need to. Last time surprised me a bit. This time? Who knows....

I really don’t know and can’t even guess. I am hopeful and fearful but won’t be surprised either way

They’re not going to let Trump win.

They’re not going too.

If at the end of the night, Trump has the most votes they will simply use a friendly judiciary to take it out from under him.

That is my prediction.

That said: I don’t think we’re going to know who the President is until Dec.

Imagine you’re in the ranks of thousands and thousands of troops marching into Gettysburg, taking up position, preparing your equipment, your body and your mind for the upcoming battle. Imagine how your stomach feels. That’s how mine feels.

I'm so proud that Trump has done everything he possibly could to win this; his campaign has been tireless and relentless. The only thing that bothers me is that the media and the Democrats are so effective at putting fear into people who are not otherwise paying attention that I just wonder if there is any way to beat them. If anyone can, though, Trump has done everything that could have been done.

I'll go with Trump 315-223 in electoral votes. That's with wins in PA & MI.

I feel like Trump will win, but I am terrified at the prospect of the return of the Clintonistas, so I’m afraid to get my hopes up, hoping for the best, preparing for the worst.....

Tsunami coming for Trump

My feeling is he might have to redraw the map with “Brexit” states because of FL, NV and CO losses driven by Hispanics (and liberal migrants from blue states). We were told by conservatives two elections ago that we’d never be able to win a presidential election again because of continued immigration and amnesty. So if we don’t see dings in our electoral map because of Hispanics 8 years later, it’ll call into question all those conservative warnings, which seemed based on solid ground.

But as a counter to these demographic changes, Trump has the unique chance among Republicans to redraw the map with northern industrial states, where so much of the latest polling and campaigning has focused. That new redrawn victory map is...

All Romney states + IA + OH + NH + PA + MI = 270

This is by far the most exciting, dramatic election night scenario, so I’m hoping for it. It dovetails perfectly with the developing narrative around election turnout, which is that higher latino vote is hurting Trump and higher support from blue-collar whites is helping him.

I’m on a MSM black out until after the election...and will only tune back in if Trump wins.

I feel good today. The reports about OH, FL, and NC are keeping me pumped.

My nervousness is based in the burn after the last election. I really really thought Mitt had that on election day.

Narrow win for Trump.

Regarding “Fingerspitzengefühl”: this means having the skill to do very delicate and sensitive work that requires great care... i.e. a watchmaker or a jeweller. Can also apply to other tasks that don’t involve literally “finger tips”.

The word you were thinking of is “Bauchgefühl”, which is literally gut feeling.

It will be clear one way or another if this constitutional republic has a new lease on life. I’m optimistic it will. It will break one way or the other and not be especially close. At least we’ll know.

303 electoral votes with a large number of accounts of vote fraud.

The states where Hillary flames out will have all sorts of claims of racial bias in preventing a minority from voting. The media will have at least a hundred claims of such.

Judging by Cankles’ twitter feed, they’re out of ideas and out of ammo.

These are desperate people who just minutes ago, posted another ad to remind us about pussygate.

They’re rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic right now.

Trump’s tweets are confident, focused on his contract with America and his first 100 days.

Cankles has spent all day telling us what a mean mean man Trump is.

She was also stupid enough to tweet this:

“If your closest advisors don’t trust you to tweet, how can we trust you with the nuclear codes?”

Great job...making us think about who can’t be trusted with sensitive information.

It’s a feeling in the air. Hard to explain.

Yeah, there just really is.
