A stony silence turned to sheer horror early Wednesday for Hillary Clinton's supporters at what was meant to be her presidential victory party as it became painfully clear she would not close the gap with Donald Trump.
One by one, states turned Republican red on the interactive map of the country. One by one, dejected Clinton fans left in tears without even seeing their beloved candidate.
"It's a nightmare," said Jeannette Barbasch, a 50-something Clinton backer leaving the cavernous Javits Center on the west side of Midtown Manhattan, which had been decked out in American flags for Clinton's expected win.

- 'Nut case' -
"We are disgusted, embarrassed, we are sorry on behalf of our country that the white male uneducated vote has spoken today," railed Celia Rowlson-Hall, a 32-year-old filmmaker.
"We, as the other half of the country that believes in love, unity, and fairness -- we have to gather together even stronger to fight against this man who only represents hate and bigotry and xenophobia."

"Trump is a nut case -- he is all over the place," Shaw said.
The real danger for Shaw comes from Trump's running mate Mike Pence, who she deemed "crazy."

"Our lives are not safe -- as queer women, as brown women," she told AFP, struggling to put her feelings into words.
Many spoke about what they felt was total ignorance among Trump supporters.
"I think these people probably flunked out of school -- they don't know history, they don't understand the world," said Elmy Bermejo, who traveled to the Big Apple from San Francisco for the occasion.

"We feel like we live in a bubble -- voting for Trump to me is so shocking."

Post of the day!
Yep, me too, have a MS and I voted for DT.
Red Badger, I think you are correct to foresee trouble. The leftist-Marxist mind does not see facts they don’t like. That’s why these snowflakes are so destroyed.
Right now, it’s like a cavalry charge where we have broken the ranks of a numerically superior force. Now is not the time to celebrate. Now is the time to ride them into the ground and shatter them completely.
Boo hoo, I have to pay back my student loans.
Boo hoo, I have a vagina and have to pee in the women’s room.
That’s all I see in these pictures.
Now THAT was funny!
Nah, they’re just conservatives that haven’t yet found their way. They’re realizing this morning that they were lied to. Trying to evangelize a little with them and tell them that racist fears are unfounded. They should join the team for the big win ahead that faces our country.
Their brainwashing is now proved to be not in conformance with reality. Now comes the phase of Disconfirmed Expectancy.
Disconfirmed expectancy is a psychological term for what is commonly known as a failed prophecy. According to the American social psychologist Leon Festinger's theory of cognitive dissonance, disconfirmed expectancies create a state of psychological discomfort because the outcome contradicts expectancy. Upon recognizing the falsification of an expected event an individual will experience the competing cognitions, "I believe [X]," and, "I observed [Y]." The individual must either discard the now disconfirmed belief or justify why it has not actually been disconfirmed. As such, disconfirmed expectancy and the factors surrounding the individual's consequent actions have been studied in various settings.
A wounded animal is most dangerous..................
Interesting. Thanks!
ditto
Almost everybody I saw there looked like college students. Jeanette must have been one of the oldest people there.
Does anyone notice the IMMEDIATE talking point that the WHITE, UNEDUCATED MALE is responsible for this? Across the board, the entire media is spouting this. If she had won, it would be “working class men come home to Democrat Party”.
This is extraordinary to witness. The mind of American citizens has been programmed by these holier-than-thou fools. Yet despite unrelenti g, non-stop pounding, the good sense of Americans saved the day.
Proud of PA today. Well done. Despite the flipping machines and Philly fraud.
Our long national nightmare is now over.....................
Graduate degreed, business owner, world citizen deplorable here who voted TRUMP.
The MSM is still spinning the lies.
They are wizards at redefining words and altering their meanings.................
Not yet.
The Won is still in it for a couple more months.
Nitwit Stew Varney on his show asking Judge Napolitano shouldn’t Trump just clean sweep pardon Hillary.
UNFREAKING BELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just pardon HER? I wanna throw a pie in his face. We don’t even know everything she did yet and Julian Assange has promised to continue leaking.
Here’s the thing, Red... She never gave anyone a REASON to vote for her besides the glass ceiling. Her whole campaign has been to Not Vote For Trump. Well, many did exactly that. They didn’t vote for Trump, but also didn’t vote period.
MBA and voted for Donald
