As I write this, it’s roughly 8 PM, the polls have closed in half the states, and it’s pretty obvious that the electoral college firewall Hillary Clinton was banking on to prevent the Barbarian from crashing the gates and taking over our country has—
The firewall, if you didn’t already know, is made up of the states that have consistently backed Democratic candidates in past presidential elections, including President Obama in his 2012 race against Mitt Romney.
More oh no. Now an update from Nate Silver at FiveThirtyEight. “We’re in something of a state of suspended animation right now . . . and so far no major state has fallen to Clinton.”
This just in from Harry Enten at FiveThirtyEight: “[I]f you aren’t a Trump fan, you better start coming to terms with the fact he will probably be president.”
So she needs another firewall. Like North Carolina. Only she’s behind there too. And this just in: Pennsylvania’s too close to call.
I think there may be a lot of guys like him out there.
