At what moment did you realize Trump had or was going to win?

Mine came while watching the returns. I was cruising channel to channel. I had just landed on Fox.
Shep Smith got an absolutely stunned look on his face. "If Trump wins Michigan or Wisconsin. He is President of the United States."
I knew at that moment Trump was going to our president. The shock on Shep's face told me that even he knew it was inevitable.

When I saw that CNN and the NYT decided they would not call Georgia for Trump until after 11 PM CST.
Reeked of desperation.

Just an awesome night. Really no words to describe it. The importance of that day can’t be stressed enough. America and Americans had a chance to be great again. May be short lived with our overlords and corrupt media, but the feeling that night was Special

When he won Florida, i got a really good feeling. When he won Ohio and Michigan i knew it was over. I remember i was just finishing supper, so it was around 7 oclock. I knew relatively early.

Slept through the night and found out the next morning around 6:30.

After I figured he had Florida, but long before they called Ohio.
I’m still in awe when I think of that night.

Months before elections. Media gave him first story headlines every time he said anything. It was their doing how fast his message got out.

I didn't even watch the results come in. I assumed Hillary would win with the polling numbers they were pushing. Woke up to quite a surprise.

The evening he came down the escalator at Trump Tower with Melania. The man was possessed to win and MAGA.
He bulldozed through every GOP candidate in front of him on his march to the White House. I knew he would win.

I didn’t believe until NYTimes odds forecast had him over 75%.

I get up at 5am for work, so I went to bed election night thinking Hillary would be POTUS.
I woke up the next morning, popped open a browser to a news site, and was greeted by Trump's smiling face.
What a great week.

I had originally planned to switch around and experience a smorgasbord of tears from the various mainstream media outlets. But I started out on ABC, and the meltdown was so damn glorious that I ended up staying with Disney/ABC all night.
It was SO DAMN GOOD. Cokie Roberts (RIP) just kept saying, "President Obama himself said that Hillary Clinton was the most qualified person to ever run for President. So, this just proves that men will not vote for a woman for President."
Puppet David Muir kept saying, "George, our polling data is showing us that uneducated white voters are responsible if Donald Trump does in fact win this election." LOL!
I mean, it was like that all night. Meanwhile the real story of the night, that an OUTSIDER with no previous political experience was on the verge of being elected President of the United States, was completely ignored.

About 6 whiskeys in and seeing the CNN folks looking really nervous.

I got the first hint he was going to win by watching the rally’s he had against the rally’s of Hillary. The polls didn’t make since because the energy and people at trumps rally’s were much greater than hilastys

I think we should have gotten a slight hint when Hilldawg cancelled her fireworks celebration across from Trump Tower the week before the vote. She knew something.

When Florida was called. You saw the panic starting with the oh so smug pundits who were ready for a coronation when it started.

We were in Vegas for a machine technology convention and we all were on our phones watching. It was at dinner that we all felt this was a Trump win and we all immediately after went right over to Trump tower to celebrate with all the other hundreds that showed up.
I bought four MAGA hats there. Was a glorious night

Ohio was when I started to think something was happening. Florida was the grand slam HR in the bottom of the 9th.
To this day, I still think it hysterical that BBC America declared President Trump the winner a full hour before any US network did.

Several weeks before the election I read that in the state of Pennsylvania some 300K voters had changed their affiliation from Dem to either Ind or Rep.....at that point I was fairly confidence Trump would win.
