NYT shows WI for Trump, giving him 276 EV.

Question: I was working the polls last night, then had to sleep. Saw NONE of the national coverage of the polls coming in. Just woke up and clicked Drudge. Not surprised. But does anyone have links to when CNN and other state-sponsored media were forced to call the race for Trump?
I believe it was around 2:30AM EST, everyone knew Pennsylvania was going to go for Trump by about 12:00AM but I think the networks were just putting off calling it hoping for a miracle.
They’ve probably already destroyed all that real-time stuff by now.
AP called PA, but not WI, even though Fox had called WI, so when AP did PA, it was shortly after she conceded. Cannot remember when that was though.
They DIDN’T. You missed it. It was disgusting. When Podesta spoke at 2 AM I recall thought he had started CW II.
The LSM dragged it out as long as they could until there was no holding back. It was around 1 a.m. when Hillary sent Podesta out to tell her supporters to go home and go to bed. Around 2 to 2:30 the networks couldn’t hold it any more. Everyone was wondering what Trump would do. Finally Trump got a phone call from Hillary saying she conceded. Then he came out and gave a very gracious speech.
“They DIDN’T. You missed it. It was disgusting. When Podesta spoke at 2 AM I recall thought he had started CW II.”
Same here.
The Witch went out the same way she ran her campaign - utterly self-serving and classless, sending that creep Podesta out there to tell her weeping supporters that “it wasn’t over,” refusing to appear in person, then conceding shortly thereafter. Hell, I wouldn’t be surprised if she came out this morning and said: “I take it all back! We’re in it to win it!” (shudder.... I don’t even want to joke about that!).
I don’t have the video clips you want. But I have one in my head with Hillary channeling Sally Fields saying to our country, “You hate me! You really, really hate me”!
LOL!!!!
Look at the 58 second mark. The cam is focusing on this sad looking babe, but look past her off to the left. There is a guy picking his nose and eating it. LOL!
UGGGHH DISGUSTING I didn’t see that LOL.
I got in late to Baltimore around 1 a.m. and I ended up watching the election until Trump gave his speech. As expected the corporate media drug it out as long as humanly possible before calling it for him. The Associated Press and PBS of all people called Pennsylvania and Wisconsin to put him at 290. Hilary had sent out Podesta to do her best Gore impression about counting every vote and dismissed her crowd. The Press was somewhat excited but still depressed because they knew she had no chance. She finally called and conceded. So Trump is giving his acceptance speech and there is a news banner that Hillary has conceded and all of the media Networks still have refused to call Pennsylvania and Wisconsin for Trump. So they have him at 244, they only change it to 276 after his speech is basically over. The worst offender was Fox as they had called Wisconsin but would not call Pennsylvania with 99% of the vote in. The Trump audience was waiting for them to call it even though PBS and the Associated Press had already called it minutes ago. The PBS guys are making comments about how Fox is refusing to call Pennsylvania and the crowd does not know Trump won. Trump supporters now have another reason to despise the Press and Fox.
It was surreal watching the media and the uniparty drones be completely dumbfounded as to how Trump won and dig their feet in to not call it. That is why he gave his speech at 3 a.m. but he was very generous and reminded me of Reagan in his comments. The media was relieved and there is fear in their eyes. It was very interesting to watch them when they basically thought everyone had gone to bed and they were being honest. The elites are scared and terrified of Trump and what he stands for and they don’t know what to do now that Hillary is history. They know he can handle them and that he is fully capable of payback.
They literally called it as Trump was walking to the podium-or maybe it was Pence—for the victory speech and Wolf Blitzer was in the background saying “CNN has now called it for Donald Trump.” I stayed up expressly to watch how they handled it and it was glorious. I tuned in at 11 central and I could see the math was already done. There was no way Hillary could win, yet the guy at the electoral map stood there like a lost puppy for two hours searching for miracle ways Hillary could come up with the missing votes she needed. All the way up until Hillary conceded they were saying “there’s a statistical chance she can pull this out, but with 98% of the vote counted it looks less likely.” When Podesta came out at Hillary HQ (ohh was that sweet—he looked lost too) and said “Hillary wants you all to go home and get some sleep while we continue to count” I figured that was the sign they were going to come up with those mysterious missing votes. Fortunately, with the math on board, and with a surprising hostile reaction from some of the CNN panel that she wasn’t being a good sport, she called Trump to concede. Only then were the CNN dopes forced to acknowledge it was over.
In short, after hours of dancing around the obvious, they admitted defeat only as Trump was taking the stage.
Afterward, they had to say Trump seemed presidential, but the commie van Jones faceplanted over and over saying things about race and how minorities are calling him crying because they can’t sleep. The talking heads also went on and on about how Trump has to be gracious and accomodating of the people who didn’t vote for him. As if they gave the same advice to “I won” Obama.
Best. Election. Ever!
Dems do what Dems do!
Trump’s gracious speech was better to watch.
