Well, Trump has run this campaign the way he wanted to. So, if he wants to flout tradition and not wait for Hillary to sober up and concede before he claims victory, more power to him!

Detroit Free Press has called it for Trump at 276

[Conservative Gato]

Amazing how all these other critical states have been counted and called; yet here we are in the wee hours of the morn, having to wait for NH, PA, MI, MN and AZ? This stinks and wreaks of corruption!

Not only that the major nutworks are all holding back from putting Trump over 270. It seems like they are doing that on purpose to buy time for the demoncrats.

NPR calling it for Trump at 276.

[Windflier]

The Guardian UK is now showing Trump at 273 electoral votes.

It’s over, folks. Say good morning to President-elect Donald Trump.

[Yaelle]

Amazing, good people in the WH. Great looking and great family.

[Gator113]

CNN has been beating her up for that. LOL

[Will88]

If he means the New York Times site, I noticed the same thing about ten or fifteen minutes ago.

Now the % reporting for Pennsylvania is back to 99%.

[TChad]

Regarding Wisconsin, now the NYT says:

Republican Donald J. Trump leads by 3 points, with 99 percent reporting.

But they still won't call the state for Trump.

This is pathetic.

[TigerClaws]

Trump should give the VICTORY speech.

Hillary and her evil co-hort will look like the sore loser / classless / trying to steal it crooks they are.

Plus, Trump will own the headlines nationwide and globally with the victory.

Perhaps Hillary & Co are going to try to ‘trade’ recount chaos for pardons.

[Artcore]

Fox seems to think, in their arrogance that until they call the election, it’s really not “official.” FUFOXNEWS!

[TADSLOS]

FBN team is stellar on this debacle. Lou Dobbs is the man!

[Trod Upon]

Coupled with keeping Congress it is a huge repudiation of globalism generally and the 0bama presidency in particular.

[bigbob]

Not a bad night...thanks for getting the word out, Google:

Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
Hallelujah!!1111

Trump moves within reach of the White House

By JULIE PACE and ROBERT FURLOW
Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Donald Trump moved within reach of the White House Tuesday night, capturing crucial victories over Hillary Clinton in Florida, Ohio and North Carolina, a remarkable show of strength by the celebrity businessman and political novice who upended American politics with his brash rhetoric and calls for sweeping change.

He also stunningly carried Pennsylvania, breaking through a Democratic firewall in a state that had not backed a Republican for president since 1988. His victories left Clinton with a perilously narrow path and no margin for error in battleground states where votes were still being counted.

As the race lurched well past midnight, Trump inched closer to the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the White House. Trump stood at 266 to Clinton's 218.




POTUS #45 IS DONALD J. TRUMP!

[stars & stripes forever]

[Guess I can stay up for Trump;s remarks]

TRUMP deserves to savor the moment, even if it is 2 am.

[misharu]

I hope he comes out and says, “if you leave the playing field, you forfeit”.

[CJ Wolf]

It’s three am (3:00am) who will take the call, who will be asleep? Gonna enjoy this speech. DVR set.
