>>Based on what I had read as late as 5PM that afternoon, I told him to expect that things would be over at 9PM.
I started watching at about 7pm and saw CBS talking heads stuttering and disbelieving what they were seeing. To its credit, NYT was predicting Trump very early while others added the West Coast's colleges to Clinton's score before voting even closed to put her ahead, and resisted showing the true picture until the bitter end.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
