So our last day of freedom.....I just don’t see any way we can overcome the fraud of the dems and their hold on the electoral college.

I’m expecting the worst but hold out a hope of a hidden tsunami.

I would love to apologize to all those who claimed Trump would sweep the country for not believing them.....I just don’t think we can overcome the never trump people. I will never forgive the Bush family for publicly denouncing the Republican candidate. I don’t care how much they hate him, they should have kept their mouths shut

hard to quantify the nevertrumpers. God is in control, whatever is going to happen will be His will, we can just pray and do our part to get out the vote. everyone will be accountable for their vote. I resent the video of the priest from Phoenix who said that it was a mortal sin to vote for a pro-abort if you are catholic. xsbaby posted it on her fb page.

If there is such a thing, it would be to the complete discredit of the entire media. It would truly be a shock to the entire system.

Don't apologize until we see what happens tomorrow.

If there is such a miracle, it will be because of “collar county” people (men especially) who get in the booth and can’t abide the idea of listening to Hillary for 4 years. If there is really a well of pent-up disgust for the Clintons and the elites, then tomorrow could be completely repudiating.

If such happens, I will apologize to those who saw such an outcome as possible because of Trump.

If it doesn’t, I expect Trump primary backers to examine their choices.

I think it is a possibility. I know people are pooh-poohing the crowds, bc Mitt had them too, but Mitt did not engender the same allegiance that the blue collar has for trump. Being of eastern European extraction I can’t but expect the worst and be pleasantly surprised if it doesn’t happen, but the far left appears to be leaving Hillary for jill stein, witness marc lamont hill, susan Sarandon etc.

Do not discount the alt media like Twitter and Drudge, or even WikiLeaks. I will not roll over and play dead till Wednesday morning. Even then, I would never acknowledge a Hillary victory as legit.

Have you seen stuff about pipeline through Syria for natural gas and that Qatar has been paying Clinton Foundation to drive US policy to try to oust Bashar in order to make this pipeline happen?

Basically everybody is implicated through the Clinton foundation emails that FBI has. And that their disclosure would bring real trouble as other nations see how much we have been meddling all over the world.

yes, I have been keeping abreast of the wiki stuff and they repeatedly say it’s all about the foundation and that she is prepared for war. now the rank and file don’t know anything about that and likely would not understand the implications of it, if they did.
I do believe that there is likely to be unrest no matter who wins. Maybe not up in Hempfield/Greensburg, but I think even Pgh might get inflamed. I saw that there was trouble at PITT with trump voter table and leftist attacking it.

That is alarming, to say the least.
