What pisses me off are the States where the votes for Johnson and Stein significantly exceeded the vote difference between Trump and Clinton. I am so sick of wasted votes on candidates with below zero chance and for whom running is more likely an exercise in vanity.

MI, PA, WI all showing pink right now. It's near enough a done deal.

I guess we make the best of it, then. Though, I'm white and middle class, so if his campaign promises are to believed I'll benefit, right?

That is my list anyhow...
Trump is ahead in the popular vote right now.

No on 1 term of 5 years. The system of 6 yr terms for Senate, 2 year terms for the House and 4 year terms for Pres was designed to allow the people to change the make up of government if they are disastified.

No on electing VP separately. .. did not work well when the 2nd place finisher was VP...creating conflict because of party differences.

But CNN is not making me feel much better either. Can you give me the URL for the Google page?

On the bright side...a Trump presidency could seriously destroy the Republican party.
