Trump Won

[A Voice from the Mountains]

MSM hasn't called it yet but Drudge, Roger Stone, Bill Still, Alex Jones, and others are already calling it. Trump won. He's got Pennsylvania and he's got any/all of Michigan, Wisconsin and Arizona. Trump is reportedly on his way to deliver his victory speech right now, even as MSM drags their heels and cry and whine.

Btw, not only are websites like Drudge and InfoWars more credible than MSM (their track records prove it -- all MSM does is lie while Alex Jones is right time after time), but the ratings are smashing MSM too. Alex Jones has been getting something like 50 million views tonight. He'll be covering that more later I'm sure. The Internet and social media are the future of news reporting.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this movement. This is the beginning of something "yuge." Things will only get more interesting from here.

Congrats guys!

Btw there was still massive rigging and fraud. It was only a massive tsunami of turnout that was able to beat these people. Project Veritas is supposed to have footage of them bussing people around from place to place now, and I'm sure that'll be posted online in the coming days. Obama will no doubt be considering issuing pardons to cover his own ass as well as the Clintons' and their lackeys. We'll see how that advances too.

And also, the peso has fallen significantly, and the US economy is falling too in reaction to what's happening.

[A Voice from the Mountains]

Russia Today is all but calling it now. They have Trump at 264 and only needs 6 electoral votes out of Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona and/or Alaska. He currently leads in all of those states. This could be a landslide before it's all said and done.

Again, the Drudge Report and several other sources are already calling it. Pennsylvania is over 98% reporting and Trump's lead isn't going to be caught. It's all over but the crying, and the crying (Hillary's in particular) is probably going to be going on for a long, long time...

[norman]

wow, it's not secure yet. Now the pace has slowed down they've got time to play with their Fraction magic software in the big states.

[A Voice from the Mountains]

"Not secure" only according to MSM. Even RT knows it's over. It may be hours before corporate networks admit the obvious at this point. PA is at least 99% reporting now. They won't call it for him. That's how stubborn they're being, like babies. But Hillary's path to victory is over. Trump won.

Don't let CNN define your life my friend. You will learn to appreciate this new way of thinking as we make America great again. ;)

¤=[Post Update]=¤

Now New York Times is calling Pennsylvania for Trump. MSM is collapsing in despair.

[norman]

It's nothing to do with the media, it's the fiddling and the delays. Maths are good if the projections are good. Fiddling can defy to projections.

[A Voice from the Mountains]

I've been watching all of that. Philadelphia should already be reported. Most of the remaining votes in PA are coming from western counties which are voting overwhelmingly for Trump. Therefore reaching 100% reporting will only secure Trump's victory in PA, and this is why MSM is dragging their feet. Same in the other states where Trump is ahead.

[norman]

yes I know, but you are not accounting for the fraction magic software tricks.

[A Voice from the Mountains]

It doesn't matter buddy. The votes are already in. The fraction magic has already been used as much as it's going to be. Too many swing states are already called for Trump and the ones the MSM is resisting are all with Trump ahead. The MSM is in denial. Don't give them the power by waiting for them to acknowledge the obvious.

John Podesta just came out and told everybody at the Hillary "victory" party to go home, that they have nothing to say tonight.

[norman]

I think I'd call Michigan a major swing state right now

By the way, I really really hope you are right .

[A Voice from the Mountains]

New York Times has Trump winning Michigan at greater than 95% confidence level.

http://www.nytimes.com/elections/forecast/president/michigan

I'm telling you man it's over.

[norman]

I give up.

[A Voice from the Mountains]

MSM and Hillary will be saying that next. Just a matter of time at this point.

¤=[Post Update]=¤

New York Times is predicting Trump will finish with 310 electoral votes. How many constitutes a landslide?

http://www.nytimes.com/elections/forecast/president

[Sueanne47]

Why are they taking so friggin' long? are they doing a re-count?

[A Voice from the Mountains]

No, no recounts yet. No one is even talking about that. MSM is just refusing to acknowledge the obvious. Trump is expected to take the stage at any moment, and I can guarantee you he's not going to be as cautious and subdued as the media.

I mean come on, do I need to go to Wikileaks and start listing all the so-called "journalists" who have been colluding with the Clinton campaign all year? The media might as well work for Hillary directly. They basically already do.

[A Voice from the Mountains]

Donald Trump just blew up the electoral map

Donald Trump is very likely to be elected the next president of the United States, and he did it by completely blowing up the electoral map and all of our projections and expectations of it.

To wit:

Trump won his so-called “must-win” states of Ohio, Florida and North Carolina in races that were called on Tuesday night.

Another apparent “must-win” state, blue-leaning swing state Pennsylvania, was just called for Trump, giving him 264 electoral votes -- just 6 shy of outright victory which should arrive relatively soon.

And even if he hadn't won those four states, he could have done it multiple other ways. Trump is also winning in two blue-leaning states that seemed beyond his reach just a week ago but where he invested some time in the final week — Michigan and Wisconsin. These are states that have long eluded the GOP's grasp and didn't seem likely to be winnable for Trump. He is up 3 points in Wisconsin with 96 percent of precincts reporting and 2 points in Michigan with 90 percent in.

All of this disproves the idea, which we and everyone else have espoused early and often, that Trump's path to victory was narrow. It wasn't. It was broad. We were wrong. The polls were wrong. We fundamentally misunderstood this election.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/11/08/donald-trumps-path-to-victory-is-suddenly-looking-much-much-wider/

[Sueanne47]

He's at 248 votes now..he only needs 22 to win!

[A Voice from the Mountains]

248 according to who? lol

Some sources have 254, some have 266...

Let me tell you what I have him at:

Enough.

It's already being called.

Trump wins White House in astonishing victory

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Donald Trump was elected America's 45th president Tuesday, an astonishing victory for a celebrity businessman and political novice who capitalized on voters' economic anxieties, took advantage of racial tensions and overcame a string of sexual assault allegations on his way to the White House.

His triumph over Hillary Clinton will end eight years of Democratic dominance of the White House and threatens to undo major achievements of President Barack Obama. He's pledged to act quickly to repeal Obama's landmark health care law, revoke the nuclear agreement with Iran and rewrite important trade deals with other countries, particularly Mexico and Canada.

The Republican blasted through Democrats' longstanding firewall, carrying Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, states that hadn't voted for a GOP presidential candidate since the 1980s. He needed to win nearly all of the competitive battleground states, and he did just that, claiming Florida, Ohio, North Carolina and others.

Hey, you guys should reconsider waiting for the MSM to verify reality for you.

I was watching the raw data coming in and I already knew hours ago that Trump had won. It's humorous to me that despite this obvious info, people still look to MSM for confirmation. We need to get out of that mentality people.

Bloomberg caves to the obvious:


Trump Defeats Clinton in Stunning Upset That Rocks Markets

Donald Trump was elected the 45th president of the United States in a repudiation of the political establishment that jolted financial markets and likely will reorder the nation’s priorities and fundamentally alter America’s relationship with the world.

The real-estate developer and reality-TV star, a Republican who has never held public office, defeated Democrat Hillary Clinton after a punishing campaign that exposed searing divides in the American public. She would have been America’s first woman president.

Trump, 70, was projected to be the victor early Wednesday by the Associated Press and television networks after Wisconsin pushed him over the 270 Electoral College vote threshold needed to become president-elect. When sworn in on Jan. 20, Trump will preside over a government he’s called corrupt and unworthy of trust.

Poll: On Eve of Election Day, Clinton Maintains Her Edge Over Trump

As Election Day looms, Hillary Clinton's 6-point lead over Donald Trump remains unchanged from last week according to the final NBC News|SurveyMonkey Weekly Election Tracking Poll.

Over the course of months of NBC News|SurveyMonkey polling, the numbers have remained remarkably stable. Clinton has not only maintained a lead over the Republican nominee since the end of July, but the margin of her lead has been between 4 to 6 percentage points since the second week of September.

Shock, anger consume women at Clinton headquarters

Prepared to celebrate a historic breakthrough, they found themselves expressing fear instead.

By Annie Karni
11/09/16 01:10 AM EST
Updated 11/09/16 02:11 AM EST

For women who were prepared for a historic breakthrough – their own version of the explosion of joy at Barack Obama’s 2008 victory rally – the election returns that put Donald Trump on the precipice of victory sunk in slowly, turning joy into numbness, and numbness into anger.

Many of Hillary Clinton’s women supporters were in tears and streaming out of the Javits Center Tuesday night, expressing shock and horror at Trump’s surprise showing.

“I have children with autism. This is devastating to me,” said Linda Quintanilha, a civil rights organizer, who was sitting on the empty floor in front of the podium where she had expected to listen to Clinton deliver a rousing victory speech. “I’m scared of the fight for their dignity. My heart is telling me this is not my America.”

Among women who gathered by the thousands at the Clinton election night headquarters, and many who watched at home, there was an overwhelming sense of fear for the sexism they felt pouring in from the polls.

“I can’t believe this is happening,” said Democratic consultant Hilary Rosen, a stalwart Clinton supporter. “People hate women.”

Many women in the empty Javits Center concluded that the country was sexist and rejected Clinton in a large part because she was a woman -- and was now headed backwards when it came to women’s rights.

http://www.politico.com/story/2016/11/women-clinton-headquarters-2016-presidential-election-231049


You heard it from Politico, folks. The same people exposed in Wikileaks as working with the Clinton campaign. The US elected Trump because it's sexist and hates women. ROFL

Hillary Clinton won't concede tonight

Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman said early Wednesday in New York that she would not concede the presidential race yet.

“It’s been a long night, and it’s been a long campaign, but we can wait a little longer, can’t we?” top aide John Podesta said to a dispirited crowd at the Javits Center.

“They’re still counting votes, and every vote should count. Several states are too close to call, so we’re not going to have anything more to say tonight.”

http://www.latimes.com/nation/politics/trailguide/la-na-election-day-2016-hillary-clinton-won-t-concede-1478675592-htmlstory.html

The cafeteria underneath Clinton's watch party is so sad

NEW YORK — There’s a dimly lit cafeteria underneath Hillary Clinton’s watch party in New York City and it may be one of the saddest places in the country right now.

As the results rolled in so did the people, seeking a place away from the giant TV screens that kept predicting red states in the crowded event space. Some, in search of booze, a quiet place to cry and, in possibly a few cases, vomit.

“I was feeling a little bit sick earlier and I went to the bathroom and I’m pretty sure that I was not the only one who was in there to potentially vomit,” Steven Peterson, a 35-year-old software engineer said. “I’ve seen all over Twitter that a lot of people are saying that they’re physically sick and I think that’s kind of been going on down here.”

“I went to hide in the stall for 15 or 20 minutes because I needed to breathe. It’s been pretty bad,” Peterson continued.

Two tables away there’s a group of five people, some discarded American flags and lots of beer. They’re staring at their phones and doing math about which states Clinton can still win. Tears start to stream down a woman’s face as the number narrow.

Executive orders, pardons, ‘midnight’ regulations expected as Obama presidency draws to close

Look out for the executive orders, the “midnight” regulations and, perhaps most controversially, the pardons.

As President Obama runs out the clock on his eight-year tenure, analysts say, he still has plenty of business left undone, and they expect him to follow the lead of other presidents and issue a series of rules, to add to his list of executive orders, to continue his record-setting pace of commutations and perhaps add a controversial pardon or two into the mix.

“I do think a pardon for Huma and Weiner might happen,” said Michael McKenna, a Republican lobbyist, referring to Huma Abedin and her estranged husband, Anthony D. Weiner, whose emails are being scoured by the FBI for wrongdoing.

Truly lame-duck presidents are freed from political concerns, don’t have to worry about other elections and can even help take political heat off their successor — or try to lock in their own policies that their successor might not fully support.

I was watching the raw data coming in and I already knew hours ago that Trump had won. It's humorous to me that despite this obvious info, people still look to MSM for confirmation. We need to get out of that mentality people.

Let me just say this... the election was not against Hillary Clinton... at least not her, alone.

It was against the MSM too. And this is why I wanted to see the MSM officially conceding as well. The call from Hillary came but not until I saw FOX go 274 at 2:38 AM Eastern Time (at least from my own personal experiential perspective) did this concession come forth.

¤=[Post Update]=¤


Justice won! I hope he will send Hillary to prison as he promised.

No shot - though the incoming Justice department might try... and thus, I would imagine an Obama pardon or some sort of get out of jail free card.

[Bob]

MSNBC is frothing at the mouth. Everything that pres-elect Trump said about 'bought' MSM.. fascinating watching those who are rabid.. I assume one knows how rabid is addressed.. interesting times..

[A Voice from the Mountains]

I was about to post on the same thing Bob. They are still going on and on and on.

Some networks did not admit that Trump had won until after Hillary herself had conceded and Trump was going up on stage to give his victory speech. Then they finally admitted the obvious. They're saying he won because America is sexist, racist, etc., etc., basically calling America itself all of the terrible things it was calling Trump before.



Let me just say this... the election was not against Hillary Clinton... at least not her, alone.

It was against the MSM too. And this is why I wanted to see the MSM officially conceding as well.

I agree that it was a referendum on our media as well. That's why I say that these online "alternative media" sources (InfoWars, Drudge, etc.) are the future and we should turn to these kinds of sources instead of the corporate crooks. I mean just look at the polls they kept showing us all summer. They lied the whole time.

I know people who swore by the FiveThirtyEight poll. They ranked the Daybreak poll last in credibility, not even giving them a letter grade as they did other polls. And guess what? Daybreak turned out to be the most accurate in the end. Daybreak is the poll that Bill Still has been following, and that I have been following by extension. All others in the MSM showed Hillary ahead almost the entire time, and they were lying... the entire time.

[Bob]

I agree that it was a referendum on our media as well.

(How do I hit 10 +1's for thanks??? )

I wish everyone would take a look right now at the polarizing across the media at this moment.. What pres-elect Trump has been saying about the paid shills in media (MSM), how they exist. I first started to notice this very clearly the switch on both commercials, how they used certain personalities, because Obama was in power, and then how they switched to agenda of Obama and the current PTB, behind Obama.. watched that closely to see what the move was, the 'programming', and what direction programming 'sheeple' was taking..

This thursday, Obama will meet with pres-elect Trump and then set the groundwork "rules" to him, explaining how he was allowed to become pres-elect... and what he must do (allow).. It does have a component about how Hillary and Bill Clinton will be handled... I posted this as a conjecture in the moving into Trump thread, the Coup against Hillary has begun (http://projectavalon.net/forum4/showthread.php?94235-Coup-Against-Hillary-Clinton-Has-Begun-Red-Alert&p=1111389&viewfull=1#post1111389).. (didn't see much discussion develop about the thoughts)... so.. pres-elect Trump received the phone call prior to Podesta telling the dems to 'clear out of the hall', which was done to prevent rioting, and allow those 'sheeple' to go thru the chutes to the waiting transport...

Podesta is "bitter" down-right angry, that Hillary conceded, but they didn't want to tell the "supporters" that night..

Where it goes from there or how pres-elect Trump reacts to the 'here is how it is' 'advice' from Obama is yet to be seen..

What 'spin' lame-duck Obama puts to the Nation and the rest of the World is yet to be seen.. This I believe isn't 'over' yet and one should not let their guard down.

I HIGHLY recommend watching Trump's expression, style of communications, how he holds himself, and take pictures.. record the before and 'after' when he gets the 'rest' of the data, the 'rules'. One should be able to then successfully document and track what is going on by 'knowing' the man's spirit.

'Meltdown of the night' Bitter news anchor bemoans Trump's election success

AS Donald Trump triumphed in the race to the White House a television news anchor has bemoaned his incredible success.

As various major US news networks prepared to confirm the Republican's victory over Hillary Clinton, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow gave a bitter response while live on air.

The sombre host told MSNBC viewers, as Mr Trump edged towards victory: “You’re awake by the way.

“You’re not having a terrible, terrible dream. Also you’re not dead and you haven’t gone to hell.

“This is your life now, this is our election now, this is us, this is our country – it’s real.”

Social media users attacked the television anchor for her moaning comments following on from Mr Trump securing the key swing states Florida, Ohio and North Carolina.

One Twitter user wrote: “I’m sick of Rachel Maddow and all the MSNBC people acting like they’re so stunned that Donald Trump is winning. He stands for America.”

Another posted: “Meltdown of the night: Rachel Maddow is losing it as Trump wins Ohio, North Carolina and it’s hilarious.”

Californian college students, so ignorant that they actually wanted Hillary to win, are mad:


Trump victory sparks angry protests across California: 'Not my president'

The election of Donald Trump to the presidency sparked protests early Wednesday across California, drawing crowds to city streets and college campuses.

The demonstrations reflected sadness, anger and bursts of rage. Crowds openly disavowed the president-elect and a few resorted to vandalism.

Shortly after Trump delivered a victory speech in New York, up to 1,500 people gathered at UCLA. The demonstration peaked about 1 a.m., when a Trump piñata was set on fire in a trash can outside a Westwood Boulevard store.

The small blaze aside, no major incidents were reported and police said the crowd was peaceful.

N.J. Omorogieva, 19, said she was “heartbroken” by the election’s result when she spotted the crowd in Westwood while walking home.

http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-protest-trump-20161109-story.html


California's also had a small secession movement pop up lately apparently. I wish they would secede, maybe just for 10 years, to see how that goes for them. Because as it stands now, it's one of the most poorly run states, with a massive debt, little kids have to pay to even ride the bus to school every day, and if they weren't getting federal hand-outs coming from taxpayers all across the nation their whole economy would probably collapse.

[Basho]

No matter how much the alternative media wanted Trump to win, I couldn't buy into the Trump bandwagon. Lesser of two evils is about the best I could paint this picture. I'm a drop out & do not want to waste any energy into the illusion of politics. But as a person of color, I'm not happy to have Trump as President & I know a lot of black & browns in the city I live in, l.a., are pissed right now.

I guess its a great big blow to the incumbent manipulation machine but I'm still not convinced that change for the positive is guaranteed. Trump is gonna make America great again for a different hidden segment of the machine.

If he starts putting top level people in jail like he said he would, then I will be dancing in the streets with y'all but I still doubt that is gonna happen lol

Not to mention that Wikileaks proved that many "journalists" from these giant corporate media networks were illegally colluding with the Democratic party and the Clinton campaign in particular.


MSM ratings were down during this election too:


Election Night 2016 Ratings: NBC Leads Broadcast Nets As Linear Numbers Slip Vs. 2012 In Primetime, Even In Late-Night

[...]

Overall, all broadcast networks lost some ground vs. Election Night 2012. NBC posted the biggest decline (7.0, -1.0), followed by No.2 ABC (6.1, -0.6), CBS (4.8, -0.3) and Fox (3.0, -0.1). The combined metered market household rating for the four broadcast networks, 20.9, was down -8.7% from 2012 (22.9) as viewers had more choices to watch the results live, including online, including on the broadcast networks’ platforms, viewership that is currently not factored into their tallies. But the overall ranking of the broadcast nets did not change; in 2012 it was NBC (8.0), ABC (6.7), CBS (5.1) and Fox (3.1).

http://deadline.com/2016/11/donald-trump-election-night-2016-ratings-nbc-abc-cbs-fox-1201851498/


I guarantee that a lot of these viewers, and new viewers besides, were on YouTube, the InfoWars website and other places online watching the coverage. I kept the InfoWars stream open all night, and was following the state-by-state through the Drudge Report.


Here's another article about the media in this election:


Michael Wolff: Trump Win Exposes Media's Smug Failures

Ads don’t work, polls don’t work, celebrities don’t work, media endorsements don’t work and ground games don’t work.

The media turned itself into the opposition and, accordingly, was voted down as the new political reality emerged: Ads don’t work, polls don’t work, celebrities don’t work, media endorsements don’t work, ground games don’t work.

Not only did the media get almost everything about this presidential election wrong, but it became the central issue, or the stand-in for all those issues, that the great new American Trump Party voted against.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/michael-wolff-trump-win-exposes-medias-smug-failures-945733

I don't know if I'd go so far as to call it the central issue (what about the economy? wars overseas? globalism? the fact that Hillary broke tons of laws and everyone was too corrupt to prosecute her?), but the media was definitely an obstacle for Trump supporters to overcome, and overcome it we did. I really hope all of those companies go bankrupt.

The sombre host told MSNBC viewers, as Mr Trump edged towards victory: “You’re awake by the way.

“You’re not having a terrible, terrible dream. Also you’re not dead and you haven’t gone to hell.

“This is your life now, this is our election now, this is us, this is our country – it’s real.”

Social media users attacked the television anchor for her moaning comments following on from Mr Trump securing the key swing states Florida, Ohio and North Carolina.

One Twitter user wrote: “I’m sick of Rachel Maddow and all the MSNBC people acting like they’re so stunned that Donald Trump is winning. He stands for America.”

Another posted: “Meltdown of the night: Rachel Maddow is losing it as Trump wins Ohio, North Carolina and it’s hilarious.”

Californian college students, so ignorant that they actually wanted Hillary to win, are mad:


Trump victory sparks angry protests across California: 'Not my president'

The election of Donald Trump to the presidency sparked protests early Wednesday across California, drawing crowds to city streets and college campuses.

The demonstrations reflected sadness, anger and bursts of rage. Crowds openly disavowed the president-elect and a few resorted to vandalism.

Shortly after Trump delivered a victory speech in New York, up to 1,500 people gathered at UCLA. The demonstration peaked about 1 a.m., when a Trump piñata was set on fire in a trash can outside a Westwood Boulevard store.

The small blaze aside, no major incidents were reported and police said the crowd was peaceful.

N.J. Omorogieva, 19, said she was “heartbroken” by the election’s result when she spotted the crowd in Westwood while walking home.

California's also had a small secession movement pop up lately apparently. I wish they would secede, maybe just for 10 years, to see how that goes for them. Because as it stands now, it's one of the most poorly run states, with a massive debt, little kids have to pay to even ride the bus to school every day, and if they weren't getting federal hand-outs coming from taxpayers all across the nation their whole economy would probably collapse.

Where can I buy some of her tears?

Maddow had better get working on her CV soon. Trump declared the MSM dead last week. Most of them don't have a business model outside of corporate welfare.

I hear cooking programs a very popular lately. She could try promoting herself in that field. PIZZA seems cool. Or there's always spirit cooking ( whatever that is ).

But seriously, Trump has got to quickly come up with face-saving ways for these idiots to back out of their MSM claptrap personalities or else their egos will fester and cause all kinds of trouble. They need to quietly go away and learn stuff and wake up. They need an escape route wide enough for their egos to squeeze through. That's true for a few million of the general population too. I think that's the very first item on the agenda Mr Trump if you are reading this ( hehe ).

MSNBC is frothing at the mouth. Everything that pres-elect Trump said about 'bought' MSM.. fascinating watching those who are rabid.. I assume one knows how rabid is addressed.. interesting times..

As much as I hate Trump, I also hate Hillary, msm and msnbc, in particular. Particularly that creepy woman, forget her name now. YUccchhhh... So this strikes me as pretty darned funny! Talk about arrogant, full of themselves and self satisfied. A little shook up are they? GOOD!

OH, Rachel Maddow, that's her name. I remember watching her having convulsions about 911 'Truthers.' Despicable, deplorable. Hard to share a planet with some people! :(

No matter how much the alternative media wanted Trump to win, I couldn't buy into the Trump bandwagon. Lesser of two evils is about the best I could paint this picture. I'm a drop out & do not want to waste any energy into the illusion of politics. But as a person of color, I'm not happy to have Trump as President & I know a lot of black & browns in the city I live in, l.a., are pissed right now.

I guess its a great big blow to the incumbent manipulation machine but I'm still not convinced that change for the positive is guaranteed. Trump is gonna make America great again for a different hidden segment of the machine.

If he starts putting top level people in jail like he said he would, then I will be dancing in the streets with y'all but I still doubt that is gonna happen lol

Pretty much how I feel. Even though part of me is satisfied to see the Establishment get a black eye, just because he's anti-Establishment doesn't make him a savior. I was originally raised in a fringe religion that was anti-Establishment, and many of their assertions turned out to be another form of poison.
