re: Who else just assumed Hillary would win?

I was never more than cautiously optimistic - the enthusiasm gap and stealth Trump voter (being missed by the pollsters) were real things - they were palpable. The negative baggage that each candidate had was a wash, IMHO. So, it came down to the baked in advantages for a Democrat in the EC (something being decried by the left today) - I thought a flip of FL was very possible, as was OH and NC maybe even likely. To get to 270, I thought PA was fool's gold - NH always seems to go their own way and MI and WI were considered too blue.

With Utah being questioned (they missed that - like a lot of things this cycle) and Colorado not really as in play as we would have liked - I honestly thought it would be either be an early night (for Hillary) or go until Dawn today.

I didn't watch a second of election day coverage until after 10:00 central - I picked up on this board that the NYT was saying 51% Trump - I literally said, "Oh shite. It's happening." - IRL, out loud to no one.

I then watched 4 hours of mostly FNC election coverage. Literally a miracle IMHO.
