Well according to the Beeb, the Nikkei is down 5.2%, the Hang Seng down 3.8%, and the Kospi in Korea down 3.1%. Other Asian markets are down around 2%, and the Mexican peso is at an all time low against the US dollar.

No matter who wins...it's a giant red flag that the electorate aren't happy with the status quo. They want change.

While I believe CNN network is strongly and often overtly in favor of Clinton, my impression tonight is they are being very professional in how they are reporting results.

Totally agree, Democrats don't have a clue outside of their bubble.

The problem is Trump identified the issues, but he's completely wrong or unrealistic on the solutions.

How much will your 401k be worth in the morning, glad I'm not near retirement.

Trump is leading by 49,000 in Pennsylvania with 98% counted, and there isn't much doubt about Arizona. So Trump will get 20 votes for PA and 11 for AZ, and he only needs 26 to get to 270. Not to mention that Michigan is head his way, as is Wisconsin. The game is over for Clinton! :nod:

Not sure...that's the worrying thing. It was a choice between taking a chance of the corrupt devil we know vs the devil we don't know. :scaredhair:

And they're about to get it! .... The way things are going it looks like the GOP will get the Presidency, the House of Representatives, AND, against all predictions retain control of the Senate. :nod:
