US Election- Who will win?

octatonic

This is the thread where you can, should you want to, state who you think will win the US election.
I do not want to duplicate any of the other threads- let's not descend into what we want to happen, partisan stuff or bitching & back biting etc.

Options are:

Trump
Clinton
Gary Johnson
Jill Stein
Evan McMullin
Don't know/Too close to call.

I think Clinton will win, but I think if Trump did it would be better for America. My reasoning is that Hillary has form for profiteering and war-mongering, and whilst Trump is a distasteful individual, he is nowhere near as bad with those two things as Hillary is.

I think Clinton will win by a narrow margin and the result could be very nasty. America is a terribly divided society now, along several different lines. Trump and his supporters are not going to accept a loss graciously, especially not if it's close. Civil war is maybe too far-fetched, but I could see serious unrest happening.

Trump winning is at least as bad - he's got a very vindictive personality and would probably become even more so given real power.

Dammit, you have 6 options- we have other threads for commentary.
We are only one Emp comment away from this descending into carnage.

Think of the children.

Trump

BigBearKris

Hillary Clinton. By 3-4%

octatonic

I think it is too close to call but if forced to decide I'll go Clinton by the skin of her teeth.

Hillary. Just.

Trump is a nobber but his VP is far scarier than him. Science denying, anti equality, evangelical fundamentalist.

You may need to be more specific.

Trump, possibly by a larger margin than expected.  A female President seems natural to us, but to a lot of ordinary Americans it is still a significant change.

Latest apparently is that Trump is hiring militia and neonazi groups to 'monitor' the poll booths.

i think he'll actually win anyway and then major unrest and www3 kicks off shortly after

Having spent around 10 weeks in the US this year, I reckon Trump

sweepy

Clinton, but only if the Black and Hispanic vote go against their voting history and have a high % turnout

Hillary by a small margin. Trump will contest, with lots of investigation being called, dragging the result out for months.
In the mean Time Trump will get done for the rape of the 13 year old.

Having also spent a lot of time in the US this year it really depends on where you are. Most of the people I know are still getting used to the idea that out of 30 odd candidate the system managed to whittle it down to the two most loathed.

i will call Trump as I never felt Brexit would happen.

Apparently that's been dropped today. Which is either convenient or suspicious or both, depending whose side you're on.

I have no idea who will win but I can't help feeling whichever one it is everyone loses.

The reason the world is in so much trouble at the moment is BECAUSE PEOPLE CAN"T FOLLOW THE FUCKING RULES!
I mean come on now!.
Fuckers.

Trump.  The polls reflect a collapse of Hillary's support since the FBI went public.

Hilary by a nose. God help us if Trump wins.
