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.

The liberal left completely misunderstood his appeal to those who have been left behind in the post-industrial, rush to globalization. Instead of trying to attack his flawed arguments they just resorted to insults and character smears.
The average American has been divorced and has a shitty attitude towards their spouse, and nobody seemed to recognize that attacking Donald Trump for those things was tantamount to attacking the electorate.

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

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!
