There is an ancient Celtic axiom that says 'Good people drink good beer.' Which is true, then as now. Just look around you in any public barroom and you will quickly see: bad people drink bad beer. Think about it. - Hunter S. Thompson

I'd say that's really optimistic for Drumpf.  His campaign has gone so flaccid, I'm starting to think this will be like how bad Reagan body-dropped Mondale in 1984.

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

Clinton 47.3
Trump 46.1
Others 6.6

I'm going to borrow FiveThirtyEight's prediction of Trump winning the Electoral College 270-268.

Looks as if I might have won. I'd forgotten I'd also predicted Trump winning the race for electoral votes while losing the popular vote by a slim margin.  As of this morning, HRC is credited with 47.7% of the popular vote. Dioscoridies was pretty close as well but I believe was at 48.5% for Clinton.
