I THOUGHT HE WAS GONNA LOSE PA, I THOUGHT MI WAS A JOKE BY DELUDED REPUBLICANS, AND I wasn’t even sure of FL an OH.

But I’ve always been a pessimist.

That’s why i dont run campaigns :)

Remember, though, these were very, very close.

Trump got 250,000 more votes than Minion in PA and won by only 40,000. Now, the good news is that SINCE the election, GOP has gained 100,000 more registrations in PA and +27,000 in FL (no data on MI, WI, MN)

That moment before FL was called was the last moment of nausea for me election night. I knew it could be over right then if Hillary took FL. After that point, things got better and better all night.

Best moment of the night for me was John King at his map of PA getting frustrated with Wolf Blitzer. “There are no more votes, Wolf!” He was moments away from grabbing Wolf and shaking him. Loved it.

Worst moment of the night: Having to drastically lower my opinion of Hillary Clinton. I honestly didn’t think I could think lower than that she is pure selfish, murderous, and evil. When she was not decent enough to come out and thank her campaign and her supporters and voters, my estimation dropped so low of her that it hurt. She truly makes evil Disney queens look realistic.

Being from Michigan, I had a certain confidence the week before. I was proud to have talked a lot of conservatives off the edge, getting them to see Trump as a good candidate; also persuading a few non voters in the past to get out and vote for him. I told people not to listen to the exit polls, and don't watch returns until 10 PM Eastern at the earliest, but that Trump was going to win, and I was certain.

I the based my confidence on a few things. First, all the various Clintons and their surrogates were suddenly campaigning in the Midwest a lot. The Bamster would never be campaigning if it weren't in the bag. Second, the Wikileaks revelations about how so many polls were skewing their samples to make propaganda for Hillary. Third, the repressed anger in America, particularly the Midwest was very real.

I have to admit, I didn't see Wisconsin happening, nor how close Minnesota would be.
