I like to think there was a little sweet chime the moment those lines crossed.
I was chicken and went to bed early Election Night. Woke to the good news on Drudge bright and early the next morning.
The press is so far from being mainstream that the term "MSM' is becoming a joke...
I watch the election night results at least once a week.? The best so far is MSNBC. When a ac in s called from r Trump, Chris Mattews says in the background, “Well that’s a bitch.”! LOL Rachel Madcow is freaking out too.
I remember someone said the NYT had a nice display. I went there and saw this dashboard with the little needles moving around. When I first got there, Trump was getting killed. I thought, Hmmm, what's wrong here? Trump is going to win for sure, so why isn't is showing?
A few minutes later, as more returns came in, the little needle and the little red line started to twitch toward Trump. From there it continued so slowly climb to where I should have been.
It was so cool to watch. It would be fun to watch that display again in real time!
I watched them every night after work after the election and laughed and laughed. They are hilarious!
The ONLY downside of the election was that DU was “hacked” and off line for like two weeks. I will regret to my dying day that I wasn’t able to watch them melt down in real time. I would have actually contributed to their website if it would have helped them get back on line so I could enjoy their pain.

I laughed when their crooked Hillary prediction of 80+% started falling and the red and blue lines crossed. It was a joy to watch, just the data with no commentary.
That must have been the time the news anchors woke up to the truth -
Political Rule # 1 - “Don’t believe your own propaganda.”
Most military disasters begin when some begin to believe what they want to believe and ignore what they don’t.
One observation: the moment California’s polls closed they called it for Clinton and yet they sat of Texas, which Cankles had absolutely no chance to win, not calling it for Trump. It was one of many ways that they were actively rooting, even campaigning (the picture of her and that girl), for her in the last moments.
Rush is wrong this time.
I vividly recall Hillary introducing Russia in her first or second debate. She just slipped it in there, but when she said that, it hit me like a ton of bricks and I told my husband, “THAT is what they’re going to use if she doesn’t win!”
“It really upsets me that the left will do anything, legal or illegal....”
.
It sure took a long time for you to find it out.
Don’t think of the left as fellow Americans.
Think of them as the Fifth Column.
Wow! I suffer from the same addiction. But you’ve got it worse.
These shows are great fun however. I enjoyed the Katie Couric Yahoo show where they got some kids (probably Yahoo TV staff family) to color in the election map with blue and red chalk, and to be on standby to celebrate the First Female President. When it all goes wrong and the kids mostly use red chalk, Yahoo then gets the little urchins to recite some of the anti-Trump ideas they learned at home.
I highly recommend The Daily Kos “Election Night 2016 Finally Live Blog”
There are about thirty separate update pages with thousands of comments, ranging from early triumphalism, to middle hours panic and wishful thinking, to later hours despair and rage. Highlights include profanity-laced Bernie vs Hillary battles, descriptions of the poster’s weeping, shaking or vomiting, and emigration/suicide threats,
Pure gold.
Thanks for pointing me to that! Liberal meltdowns over the election are the best porn there is. :-)
Did anyone here catch the final comment Mark Steyn made about the Utah man killed in the London attack? Or, might it be available on a show transcript somewhere?
