I mean he really is the reason Rubio won by so much. In the polls Rubio was only a 3 point favorite and he has won by 8. The interesting thing is how he is absolutely dominating the suburbs, totally ate away from what Obama had built in the last 8 years

I think right now Trump is pretty safe with 247 after Ohio win and if florida goes his way and assuming he carries states he should.

Edit: actually 237. If he can get Iowa, North Carolina and Michigan it's over.

Trump at 64% in MI, and 62% in WI. 80% to be POTUS on the NYT tracker.

Pa will be very close as well. The polls here in central pa were 3 hour waits. Very strong trump region here. It will all be interesting to see if it overcomes philly

Yes. Even if he loses NV, he'd be at 285.

Probably hit 1000 before it's all said and done. It'll bounce back in a month or two though...it always does.

quicker than that....few weeks probably as the election result becomes certain. Not sure the prognosis long-term is good with Trump, and a recession likely looms. But people will realize fairly soon that Trump winning doesn't immediately change any fundamentals.

buying opportunity for sure....my dumbass is about fully invested - got too lulled into thinking Clinton would win comfortably

Trump did "all this stuff wrong"....didn't spend a ton of money, didn't build a ground game. But he got over $2B in free "advertising" from the news channels (and that number is a month or two old).
