As of 9:05 a.m. ET, Clinton had amassed 59,204,408 votes nationally, to Trump's 59,058,307 — a margin of 146,101 that puts Clinton on track to become the fifth U.S. presidential candidate to win the popular vote but lose the election.

And yet both Bill and Hillary received more votes than their opponents. Trump didn't.

He got more than any other candidate. Trump didn't. Bill got 43% of the popular vote against Bush's 37.5% percent and Perot's 18.9%.

The American people have spoken, but once again the candidate with the most votes was defeated by the Electoral College. So like W, we have a president that did not get selected by the majority of voters.

When Pence was speaking someone in the crowd yelled "assassinate the bitch" about Hillary. This is our future.

Yeah, but come January that all ends. The country chose a msygonist bully over an educated and experienced woman. What a sorry lesson for young women and girls.

Clinton called Trump and conceded, so it's a done deal.

In the Bush-Kerry election, it wasn't called until the next day. So neither candidate came out to speak that night, and they sent their supporters home. For Trump to come out and claim victory before it's official is presumptive if not arrogant. But that's how he is.

She offered many policy proposals that differed with his general statements, but the media and public were more interested in being entertained by the slur campaign. A sad reflection on our society.

There's just no equivilency between the situations. One good outcome might be that Rush and Hannity won't have anything to complain about.

How does Barack and Michelle sit at the inauguration surrounded by people that hate them and questioned his legitimacy? What do parents say to their daughters about what Americans think is acceptable behavior? What are minorities and undocumented people thinking?

Dow Jones Futures now down almost 800. NBC reported the Canadian Immigration website crashed. No joke.

I could have reluctantly accepted most of the other Republican primary candidates, but Trump really scares me regarding what will happen to our foreign policy. The Iran nuclear deal gets scrapped. China secures it's position in the South Asia Pacific. Russia pushes further into Eastern Europe.

I haven't felt this depressed since No Goal.

They were the bums in Congress obstructing. Newt Gingrich as Sec of State. Rudi Guiliani as Attorney General.

Florida and Iowa go Trump.

Gary Johnson's vote total in Florida is greater than the difference between Trump and Clinton. Another Nader moment.

Start praying for Ruth Ginsberg's health, and the 20 million people who will be losing their healthcare.

North Carolina goes Trump.

It killed the momentum she had for over a week. It could be the difference for how some moderate Republicans voted.

Dow Jones Futures now down almost 700.

Colorado goes Clinton.

Dow Futures have dropped 500 points as Trump's chances have increased.

I miss the old metal voting booths, there's something satisfying with pulling down the levers. Filling in circles is like taking the SAT exam.

#816 at my poll. No waiting, they're pretty efficient.
