FWIW I would vote for Stein. At least then if Killary won I would maintain some personal dignity. Gary Johnson is just as potty as Mr Fart, albeit he is more gentlemanly.
Why do you call her Killary?

The FBI have announced they have not found anything incriminating after their latest investigation of Clinton's e-mails.

Let's hope that Scottish goat is correct! Ah but when you see where its breed originates it is no wonder it knows a thing or two! ;D

Odds shifted dramatically in favour of Clinton in last couple of days, in part because of the figures coming out covering those already voted.

By this time on Wednesday we should probably know the outcome.

We shall probably know quite early in the day.

An unworthy thought has occurred to me: Should Donald Trump win and Mrs May visit him to discuss the Special Relationship, she had better prepare to be groped. That appears to be the only meaning of relationship that Trump comprehends.

More seriously, should he win, how soon do you think it would be before his inadequacies as president would become obvious?
Does Magna Carta mean nothing to you? Did she die in vain?

To be honest, I don't care too much. If I had to chose, however, then it would be Trump but only because it would mean a major defeat for the Atlanticists who, it seems, are determined to start a new Cold War egged on by Britain, Estonia and group of neo-fascists in Ukraine.

Just been having a discussion with an American friend about the long lines that always seem to be there in US presidential elections despute comparatively  low turnouts. I fund it bizarre that this is not a major scandal in a major democracy that there are effectively insufficient polling stations.

Cheese and wine for me. Normally I would be in bed for this but not for this and not in 2016, don't trust it an inch

Hi everyone,

Another brexit is happening as some had predicted. Trump is WINNING!   Even in traditional blue states.

All the computer models and poll predictions turned out to be rubbish!!

Cheers.

Disbelief on the BBC panel, no idea who the lady in white is but she seems to think it was a fight between those with college degrees and the "less well educated" who voted for Trump. It all sounds so familiar.

How it came to those two as candidates is beyond be but as for picking Trump, I would say many Americans are tired of political dynasties. The Clintons being one of them, but they have some baggage a lot of people do not like.
How can something so perfect be so flawed.

Apparently Hitler's pre-election speeches had similarities to those of that evil creep Trump! >:( Still January isn't here yet, who knows what might happen before then!
