Not to be dramatic, but while watching the election results things were fast and furious starting at 7 pm eastern as polls started to close and it was nip and tuck for awhile and I will admit, I was starting to lose hope 8:30 ish to 9 when he lost Virginia and NC and FL were close. But something happened between 9 and 10:30...I can’t explain it, but I felt like something dramatically changed...I got a text from my son that showed the NY Times showing Trump with a 95% chance of winning...it seemed like there was an absolute reversal of everything in about 90 min.

“I was starting to lose hope 8:30 ish to 9 when he lost Virginia and NC and FL were close. “

I was out of town and purposely not listening to election results and my son told me on the phone (around the time mentioned above) that the newscasters were saying hiLIARy would win. I was devastated.

So, your post is not dramatic lol. Lots of people had/were given the impression at some point during the night that hiLIARy was going to win...

Yep, 9PM is when the alarm bells in Clinton land started going off. I of course was hoping for a miracle in VA, but the fact that it was close was a tell that Trump really could pull this off. By 9:30 when the Fla panhandle started coming in, and it became obvious he was outperforming all across the Midwest, panic among the libs was palpable. What a night!
