[Matt]

Clinton 209 - 228 Trump

what the **** is going on

[AgnesIO]

What. The. ****.

America. You are a bigger disgrace than Brexit, right now.

Comparisons with the EU vote are insulting tbh, Trump having a lead like this is something that will actually damage the world rather than just piss off a few students

[xxMATTGxx]

What a complete mess.

[Matt]

"$47 billion wiped off Australian stock market as Trump gains in polls"

"Mexican peso plunges 10% to record low"

Trump is now at 244 and Hillary hasn't moved from 209..

My point was that voting to leave the EU was stupid. I genuinely didn't think the modern electorate could continually make stupid decisions. Don't get me wrong; this is far, far worse.

Well I guess I may win that fantastic prediction competition

If the peso's down doesn't that mean the dollar is strengthening relative to it? Also it's still technically possible that the electoral college members could all be like "nah Stein can have it" which would be hilarious

That's a matter of opinion, over half the voters think that voting to stay was stupid. This is giving the most powerful country in the world to a man who's bankrupted more companies than he's succeeded with, that's dangerous no matter what anyone's opinion is

Unfortunately, half of America disagrees with you. After all, half (it's 5am, don't expect figures from me!!) of America think voting Hillary was a stupid idea.

You're mistaking opinions with facts, I thought that was Dan's territory
