Just write in the way you think it will go.
Let's see if LL has predictive power.

There was a recent interview on CNN (in a bar unknown) where , no sooner had the question 'who you're going to vote for on Tuesday ?' been asked of a D voter that an R man goes apoplectic and in no time almost the whole bar erupts into partisan bickering, so the reporter turns to a bystander closest to him, and in turn asks:

> So which way do you go on Tuesday ?
> Which way ?
> Yes.
> Backwards.

Sums it up.

I foresee a Clinton victory, followed by seriously unpleasant civil unrest

[stamper]

There won't be any "winners" because they are both "losers". If they are the best the US can produce then the US public will be even bigger "losers"

[Paulo Bizarro]

Here from Portugal, I wish a good election day for the USA. As an outsider, I have no claims of even understanding the differences between the D and R parties... things are more polarized around here.

But in the end, it's like any other election in many countries, in this globalized world: whoever wins will have to do what the guys with real power (money) tell them to.

Yes, but I guess it could be worse.

[Alan Klein]

There's not going to be any civil unrest.   You're reading to many biased media.

[Slobodan Blagojevic]

There's not going to be any civil unrest...

Only if Trump wins. Any organized violence typically comes from the left, as already exemplified in this election.

Yeah, and I hear they are now going to make folks with a property getting more sunshine that somebody else, pay a higher tax. That's the cynical face of socialism. No, this isn't a joke. It was on tv news.

As far as my memory runs, there was a time some couple or more decades ago when Portugal went communist and took over a lot of villas... I think they discovered that was counterproductive. But once bitten, anyone buying there again deserves what comes. Seems it's coming.

In the UK a council charged higher rates (property tax) on a flat at the top of the building because they had a good sea view - despite the windows being designed in such a way that it was impossible to look out of them. Sigh.

[Alan Klein]

Paying higher taxes on more desirable property happens anyway at the same tax rate because they have a higher sale valuation.  Since the property is worth more, then the same percent tax will gain the government more money than property of less worth.

I know. All those liberal militias, just lining up to plant IEDs 'n' shit

liberal militia = Black Lives Matter

Just ask the cops or anyone in their vicinity

[donbga]

I see the usual suspects are lining up to yap.

Good night!

[Zorki5]

A good thing to watch (and think about) this night:

'The West Wing' needed British cynicism

Trump appears to be the first candidate in history to win all 50 states in a tsunami landslide:

And all of a sudden, there is an industry that is in much, much deeper trouble than photographic: pollsters and predictors of all sorts... I guess I'd rather be Nikon's employee right now than Gallup's

They were paid.

[Zorki5]

They were paid.

Of course.

But will they be paid [hefty] next time now that they are so discredited?

What's happening now (irrespective of final result) is, from pollsters' reputation standpoint, is much worse than Brexit.

[Slobodan Blagojevic]

I've been saying this all along: polls are rigged by definition - they are not anonymous. Especially important in this election, where one side is so demonized and supporters ostracized.
