  What could get interesting is if it ends up a close Trump win in the electoral college, do you have faithless electors that throw it into a shitstorm? Then Trump would have a legitimate "rigged" argument.

  Everyone under estimated how pissed off people are. And for all you people that said PA wasn't in play, I told you for months trump just might take the state

  All of that would be horribly bad for the markets. It could still wind-up close enough to have numerous recounts and challenges.

  Gary Johnson is likely going to be the main reason Trump wins

  Don't think so. Most analysis I saw was he pulled pretty equally from both candidates, slightly more from Hillary but not enough to make a difference.
  
  Trump was up like 130k vote in FL....If you give ALL of Jill Stein's 70k to Hillary, you need to still need about 130k of Johnson's 200k (65%) for Hillary to take FL. Wouldn't have happened.

  Ahh blame the Third party candidate. Any person I know who voted Johnson leaned Republican anyway.
  
  Trump won because there were a lot more Rural voters than people thought who are just fed up with the Government, Media, and people looking down on them.

  But weren't many incumbent senators and congressmen reelected?

  The white working class took America back tonight. All of these gains by the gay community, the black community, and the Latino community have came while we saw nothing done for the majority of us. So we took the nation back

  Agree. Libertarians are much closer to Repubs than Dems.

  I voted for Gary Johnson. I would have voted for Hillary if it mattered, but I was never going to endorse Trump with my vote

  GTFO with this garbage. I lean right and voted for Gary and I know plenty who lean right and did the same. I saw numerous people on the left though going out of their way to mock Gary.

  Were you voting more person than political leaning? I'd think as disgruntled Dem would vote Stein over Johnson.

  Most people think that the President is the one who can change things and that Trump will make it happen and probably easier if more Republicans are there.

  I'm actually Libertarian....Johnson is a tool, but I had to vote for someone and it wasn't going to be Trump or Hillary

  I admit to being one of the people who thought PA was a slamdunk for Clinton.

  I actually think that Trump got some help from Sanders' cult following. He'd almost have to. They hate Hillary, too.
