When I actually realized it, I was at my parents house...when I finally knew 100%, I was driving home. They drug that shite out for hours.

when I saw how he had a lead in Virginia less a couple of the NCA counties and then watched the talking heads go into disbelief mode...you knew at that point the tide had turned!!!

I spent election night in my den with 12 of my favorite friends named BUDweiser. My wife had went to bed rather early, around 8:00. I sat in silence until the voting margins started narrowing in Florida, Ohio and North Carolina. Soon after I found myself cheering with excitement like I would have watching the Tigers play.

Come 2:30ish that morning when they declared Trump the winner I was nearly hoarse, out of energy, and most importantly...out of BUDweiser. It was a great night!

The day the "bitch" made the remark about all of us being deplorable for exercising our free speech and voting rights.

Then came the reopening of the FBI investigation.

Then came election night. After the first hour of returns I realized that a lot of voters for Trump flew under radar and the results coming in showed that we just might have a chance. By 12:30 am I realized we had it in the bag.

My only regret ..... no liv3e TV coverage of the "bitch" boo-hooing that night. That would have been extra icing on the cake.

I was in a strip club spending the money I save by dropping my health insurance.

Sat on my couch at 7 pm thinking I would watch an hour or two then go to bed or watch Netflix. I didn't go to bed until midnight.

I was at the bandit, newish bar near campus- free tacos and rounds of tequila shots after ever state announced for trump. Realized fairly early, maybe around 730, but that might have been the tequila.

Really I knew the day he announced his candidacy in 2015. I'm I'm sure it's documented on this site.

It was Sept 2015 when I had an epiphany type moment and became excited. I saw the MSM's initial assault against Trump do nothing to his rising popularity. That's when I told my wife he had a very real chance to win the whole thing.

I was home watching the election and following it here. Going into the election night I had Trump at 260 and needing NH and NV to seal the deal. It was looking rough at first but when Wisconsin fell to Trump, I knew it was coming and it was just a matter of what other states he was going to take. I stayed up waiting to see his acceptance speech and you better believe I flipped the channels to see the melt going down.

Woke up at 0500 and wife was still watching TV in living room. I saw a scroll, "President Elect Trump", it was on FOX News so I though it may be some joke, pre-election event they filmed. I asked her what is this, he won ? "Yes, he won". I almost fell on the floor in shock. I was glad though, I can still barely believe we fended off the commies for at least 4 years.
