Our best guess is that Donald J. Trump is on track to win in Michigan.

As a perpetually disappointed Michigander, I sure hope so! I’m tired of feeling like a loser every ‘first Wednesday’...
John King was really beating Clinton up about her campaigning. Over and over again last night.
It was a delight to watch.
Oh how big of them, since it should have been called last night. Just like Pennsylvania.
The media is as ungracious in defeat as Hitlery.
I cannot believe he was close in MN.
I am still blown away by WI and PA. Wasn’t even close in OH.
Drain the Swamp!
Michigan has been a State for only ~180 years so they are still learning how to run an election.
So, when is Trump going to step down? He’s hung on far too long wasting everyone’s time. Hellary deserves this. The blame falls squarely on Russia and the deplorables.
GO, TRUMP! Make America Great Again!
Proud Michigander this morning!!
Most websites say it looks like Trump, but not final. The biggest county that hasn’t reported 100% on the NYT site is Washtenaw. I went to the county website and it says 100% precincts counted. Doing the math on the additional votes, would put the state well into Hillary’s column.
Not sure what is right.
Last night the probability was >95% of a Trump win in Michigan and this morning it had dropped to 77%. Very strange. And Arizona hasn’t been called yet and he is well ahead.
I’m in MN, and everyone I talked to, including a lot of people who voted 0bama twice, said they were voting for Trump. I had my doubts, but was cautiously optimistic that he could win here, but last time I looked Clinton is about 40,000 votes ahead. But, consider this, in 2008 McCain lost MN by 300,000, and in 2012 Romney lost MN by about 130,000. Even Reagan never won MN. The last time MN went republican was in 1972, the Nixon landslide.
New Hampshire is still 69% for a win by Clinton.
Arizona and Minnesota are at >95% probability for a win by Trump and Clinton, respectively.
Those are the only states that haven't been called by NY Times. The AP is also holding off on those.
The AP also hasn't called Alaska, but I'm not sure why -- Trump is way ahead, and 73% of precincts have reported.
MI was due for a big shake-up. Finally it may be happening! I remember MI’s heydays in 1960’s-1970’s - high employment, good living, weekends traveling, motorized toys, cabins on water, hunting trips, good stuff.
In 2010 census MI was the only state with a lower population than in 2000. Getting the rats out will help greatly in its recovery.
I flipped around a lot... And found CNN actually easier to watch than Fox...
Trump winning by 0.2% (currently) is nothing to be proud of. They’re manufacturing ‘absentee ballots’ as we speak. That’s what Podesta meant when he said ‘all the votes must be counted’.
I think we could see a new electoral calculus for decades to come after Trump remakes the GOP!
It really is unbelievable. People were talking that MN was close but I didn’t believe it.
Well, let's look at some of the other things they can't do regarding Detroit.

Maybe not. They know this one is over.
Now it’s time to drain the swamp.
