Draw : 269 to 269. They've not had one since 1827 so I feel we are due. It then goes to the house of representatives to say who is president. As that's majority republican who don't like Clinton or Trump they will then appoint an alternative republican candidate.

I'm not sure anyone wins from this election, whatever the result.

quarky

Clinton without a doubt.

TheBlueWolf

Hillary Clinton, but by a very close margin.

+1 to there being unrest following the final vote regardless of who wins

Trump.

I'm guessing Clinton by a decent amount.

I'm thinking Trump. Saying that, if Clinton won would it be any better? The US is fucked.

axisus

Clinton by 2%.

% means bugger all, it isn't a straight up national vote.

Clinton by a small margin.. I don't think Trump has the political machinery in DC (but I may have watched too much Kevin Spacey)>

With the EU referendum, it felt inevitable that Leave would win. Just too much in favour of them. 

With this election... hmm. In between 12 hour work shifts all week, it's been hard to compose serious thought. When Trump was going through the primaries, not many here on this forum gave him a chance. I thought he'd walk it and so he did. If there is one common factor between the US election and the EU referendum, it's that analysts, pundits, newspapers, and suchlike have consistently undervalued the protesting/alternative factor. 

Clinton is known as a mobilising force on voting day. Trump is an unknown. So I'm going to put £5 on Trump. 

If he wins, it won't be the end of everything. It will be the start of a new chapter of politics in America. One where both main parties have to look at themselves, scrape off the faded facepaint and mascara, and actually be fucking honest about why they both lost, for a Trump victory is as much a defeat for the GOP as it is for the Democrats.

Trump to win, then shot dead in the following week.

We can only hope.

I honestly cannot work out where to put my (figurative) money. I think either could win at this point... and as someone else said, whatever happens, America will lose. I'd far, far, FAR rather have Clinton in power though. Trump would be a disaster.

I just read this, no idea how much truth there is in it but it kinda put the shits up me anyway.

Does make you realise that "fascist" is a scarily accurate descriptor for Trump.
