Wow, good call. 
One minor correction: it was a hotel room, not a limo

now i see why i don't miss cable, it just pollutes your brain cells.

CNN is a cable channel that you watched streaming on your computer, so I'm trying to connect your dots......

My county is 1/3 black, yet at my very crowded polling place it might have been 1/6 black. I think the numbers of blacks voting dropped quite a bit, they decided on "neither of the above."

Yesterday I voted for Trump but didn't think he had a chance. Under my breath I cursed him for acting like such a Neanderthal and alienating so many people. Went to bed at 10pm last night without watching any election coverage. My wife(who voted for Clinton) woke me up this morning with the news and it felt like Christmas.
Wow. Just goes to show that people are dumb but not stupid. That the American people can see through the media smokescreen and see what's actually going on in the nation. This is the greatest country in the history of mankind.

I thought the same thing.
One thing I have to say about Trump. That man has more energy than any human being I have ever witnessed. I have seen some crazy workaholics in my day, but that man is in a league all his own. I was casually following his activities. He was doing rally after rally every day. He was literally doing nothing but making speeches, flying to the next location (sometimes across the country), non stop, every day. If he took a break it was because he was on TV doing an interview. He must have been working close to 24 hours a day and only sleeping during flights. It was insane.
Last night for the first time he looked a little tired and shell shocked that he had actually won.

The Portly Pantsuit (a/k/a Her Royal Thighness) was supposed to give her formal concession speech at 9:30 am, then pushed back to 10:30am, now past 11am and still no sign of the Hag at the podium . . . they must still be sobering her up

Unfortunately that's probably true. Trump will fight them tooth and nail though. I would imagine that he'll tell the American people which members of congress are holding up progress, this way we can vote them out in the mid term elections.

I was saying the same thing to my wife last night. I've never seen a candidate hustle like this guy. From early in the morning to late at night every day for the last 18 months he's either been speaking in front of people live or on radio or TV, or traveling to the next place. He was relentless. He will not be setting any records for most rounds of golf played.

I picture her being dragged to the podium kicking and screaming like Cagney going to the chair in Angels with Dirty Faces
