I might do a Rush recommended and watch/scan a few of the election night coverages. And they all seem to be on youtube.com.
The one exception was Fox Business Network. They were mildly subdued until about 10 PM, and then become more and more jovial, until between 1:00 and 3:00, when it was obvious that they desperately wanted to declare Trump the winner and was being stopped by Someones Upstairs.
Does Rush mean the night of, “Oh my goodness, what do we do now? Well we can stall them for an hour and a half and discuss it. Okay, lets do that!”
Bwa ha ha ha ha ha
That must have hurt like like a pimple on an eyeball.
Good analysis by El Rushbo.
Thanks, Kaslin.
This is a really good analysis. Obama himself admitted that there had been no, could not have been any, interference by Russia in the actual poll count. Why, then, are they suddenly ignoring all the substantive issues raised in the election to cry “Russia did it”?
It really upsets me that the left will do anything, legal or illegal, to get their way and are actively trying to overturn the election while, at the same time, trying to use lawfare against the new administration for even the most minor, potential infringement.
As for the media, don’t get me started! I live in Australia, and they are just as bad here.
Election night coverage. It’s so delicious! I never get tired of hearing the pundits on CBS talking about the GOP in disarray (in the first hour) or Richard Engel going rabid in the later hours muttering about the military considering a revolt (NBC). Van Jones squealing about “whitelash.” Jake Tapper blurting out what “we” need to win (CNN). Krauthammer predicting a Clinton win (FOX). Dyspeptic Steffy on ABC, looking like he swallowed a crap sandwich. And one cheerful guy on ABC noting, “When Trump starts winning, he doesn’t lose.”
If I watch it it will be like the 50th time but then it never gets old.
Link to CNN ends before the full results are in. Need a link to the full night coverage.
What a delicious night! I didn’t turn on the tv till 10 central time because I didn’t want to watch the gloating. So much fun to see the expressions of the talking heads on all the channels. Around midnight my husband said let’s go to bed. He grew up in a Democrat household and said there was no way the Dems were not going to “ find the votes” to win. Around 2:30 my phone woke me with texts from friends exclaiming Trump had won. I went on Facebook to watch the Trump victory speech. Best night ever! Still love watching the YouTube videos from election night!
My FaceBook post... Oct. 28th. It was in the air. Stupid liberal’s.
“Can’t wait to see all the expressions of shock, confusion, utter disbelief, abject despair and fear on the faces of the media, political and corporate criminals on election night. The night they realize the American people have called them out for their massive corruption, conspiracy, coordinated deception and outright lying. All at the huge expense of the American citizen. Then, REAL investigations need to begin. Go out and vote.”
The democrats also did not realize the shellacking they got in the 2010 and 2014 midterms and how that translated on how out of touch their policies were with the American people.
The democrats also did not realize that the principal factor on why obama was elected twice was primarily due to the color of his skin. Had he been white, the results of the 2008 and 2012 elections may have been different.
Lastly, democrats historically cannot blame themselves for any electoral loses. In 1980, after Reagan’s historic and (unforeseen) landslide over Jimmy Carter, the dems and the media started to talk about the ‘October Surprise’ of George H.W. Bush flying in a SR-71 Blackbird to someplace overseas to negotiate the release of the hostages in Iran. This was and still is completely unfounded and baseless. This alledged ‘Russian’ connection with Trump is no different. The REAL reason that the dems and the media are doing this is to deflect from their complete failure in politics and at the same time, discredit the victorious candidate. They tried to do it in 1980 and they are trying to do it now. And it is still not working.
Comey has had so many political connections over the years, and those connections have brought him many high level jobs, and at some point, he'll be gone from the FBI, and looking for another high level job somewhere else. His future can be bright if he can manage to steer the focus on him, off to another entity, namely Trump and the Russians. He saw the opportunity, and ran with it.
Ues, I noticed that too. Even on Fox, which is where I mostly watched. And Fox had spent a lot of time promoting Trump.
I was avoiding watching the news on electon night so I missed it. Just watched poll results and hung out here. But now Im curious to watch how they covered it. My notion at the start of the day was Trump had a good shot but that it wasnt a sure thing either way....made me pray alot.

I watched CNN that night.
Judy Woodruff (now host of PBS News Hour) and Bernard Shaw (one of the first network Black anchormen) were the CNN newsroom anchors.
When the exit pollsters announced that the GOP was going to win a House majority, Woodruff and Shaw were literally in shock, and speechless.
Woodruff finally struggled to say, “I guess this means the voters are telling us they want divided government (Clinton was president).”
Gingrich was my hero in 1994 (but not for long), and the 1994 election was the most thrilling political experience in my life.
HRC had the intel from the obam administration. She was pressing the Russia meme during the second debate.
When Podesta came out and told folks they should go home and that there would be more news in the morning, I thought for sure they going to take it to ‘11’ on the Cheat-o-Meter. They were going to call in every favor and find some skeevy way to snatch the election back from Trump.
