Mike's Blog Round Up
November 8, 2016

Well, here we are. Election Day. Anyone have any predictions? I've got Hillary winning by 322 to 216 electoral votes and the popular vote 49% to 44%. Those appear to be towards the upper end of the range of projections, but I have long thought that she would exceed her poll numbers given her extensive ground game and demographic changes that aren't necessarily reflected in the polls. And as much as I like Hillary in and of herself, and for all my seething pessimism, I believe that America will reject the hatred and fascism of her opponent and his retrograde party.

But take nothing for granted. Vote!

Gin and Tacos: The Year of Trump is about to come to a screeching halt.

Human Voices: A Trump win would lead to global economic collapse.

No More Mister Nice Blog: Trump is totally in line with Republican orthodoxy.

Vagabond Scholar: Bigotry and spite are central to Trump's campaign.

The Moderate Voice: The election may not change much in the short run.

On a more positive note, watch Hillary Clinton's wonderful closing message, "Tomorrow."

Round-up by Michael J.W. Stickings of The Reaction. (Twitter: @mjwstickings.) I'll be here all week.
