Still on going but he is > 95% certainty now. Although some hints that Clinton may dispute the results by the looks of it.
Just mentioned on Sky News they are looking at the results and ways to challenge - it appears she may get the higher popular vote (which I assume is just the most votes).Well this is all a bit of a surprise after the email thing seemed to be put to bed a few days ago.
Popular vote doesn't matter

Small-town, poorly educated, conservative, old, white, Christian men. Seen plenty of articles telling me that those sorts of people don't have any influence in the US any more, looks like they were wrong.
Interesting that more Dems voted Trump than Reps voted Clinton.
Fascinating stats so soon after polling.
28% of Asians and Hispanics voted for Trump, more than voted for Romney last time. Similar here really, many immigrants are anti large-scale immigration. The demographics may not be so bad for the GOP in future after all.Interesting that more Dems voted Trump than Reps voted Clinton.

From a British perspective I found the biased reporting of our UK media disturbing. BBC, Guardian, Economist - they got it all wrong. Not just the call on the win, but the actual tone of the voting, right through the night.
They were banging on all night about how women, black and espanics did not vote for trump when surely, surely, decent amounts of these groups must have voted for him. He cannot win without them.

Geniuine question...
What is it about the rural isolated people which causes them to vote against the 'norm' or against the establishment? Are they really 'unrepresented' or are they actually just a bit out of touch with the world?
People in big cities clearly voted Blue;
Like the Brexit referendum, you simply have to think about a stereotypical, liberal left person - broad brush stereotypes now - of the sort that might reside in the trendier parts of London or Manchester. They are a rare, out of place commodity in most of the suburbs and sticks. It is very, very simple.What is it about the rural isolated people which causes them to vote against the 'norm' or against the establishment?

With this herd like collecting of ideas and types of people comes the herd-like belief their world view is not just correct, but also better. Hence how the media, again and again and again, are calling things so very wrong.
k me they're actually playing the music from Air Force One
