I agree, republicans have finally put up someone that can connect in the rust Belt. Trump will take PA, OH, MI, WI and IN for certain on NOV 8.
Winner will be known by 10pm at the latest, only reason to stay up after that is just to see how bad Hillary’s drubbing is going to be.
If that happens then I will be up till dawn celebrating.
In 1980, both campaigns knew by Election Day what was likely to happen (due to the late-breaking, post-debate polls), but the networks were still believing their “too close to call — it’s going to be a long night” routine. Then the first returns came in, and by 8 pm or so, it was all over. (Nancy Reagan had to get RR out of the shower to take Carter’s concession call, at like 5 pm Pacific!) No long night, just long faces in the MSM. Would love to see that again this year.
