Mussolini in the White House?

Brexit strikes America.

Even if Hillary wins - which seems very unlikely right now - the polls have been so astoundingly wrong it is barely believable.

The Clinton crowd in New York at the Javits Center is in despair.

Trump may be about to become the most disgraceful president in American history.

Chauncey Gardner with the soul of George Wallace.

Except that George Wallace was a real politician with plenty of experience and achievement behind him as an actual politician.

Donald Trump has not spent one day of his life in public service.

He has never run for or won or served in any public office in all his life.

Add to that that this is the best day in David Duke's life.

Rachel is weirdly and repeatedly pointing out that the Johnson vote is bigger than the lead Trump has over Clinton, castigating those who opposed Trump but could not bring themselves to vote for Hillary.

As if the second choice of Libertarian voters would have been Hillary, of course.

On the other hand, she is the only one in the pack of talking heads at MSNBC who insists on taking him at his word, in contrast to Chris Matthews who is now saying campaign rhetoric is all bullshit so we shouldn't be scared.

She is right that he is winning by spiking the white vote and she is, I fear, right to fear he will be in the awful ways many feared a man of his word.

At 0130 on 11/9 she and Chris are arguing hotly and he is defending the white working class and blaming Hillary for being soft on illegal immigration, and the Democrats for being that for the sake of the votes it gives them.

Chris may be right about that but she is right to insist on taking Il Duce's rhetoric seriously, and he is wrong to forget that even if he is right that white workers are suffering Trump is a malignant airhead with not a hint how to make anything better.

Gene Robinson more than once, but more or less alone (except for Rachel), has expressed alarm that a huge wave of white voters totally overwhelmed a giant turnout among blacks and Hispanics for Hillary.

And he's right that it's so much about race.

On policy and agenda the Democrats are and have been the party of the white working class since FDR.

That has not yet ended.

But the white working class has deserted the Democrats en masse over issues of culture and race, and in truth it seems to be mostly race.

This loss to The Duce was not brought about by fastidious leftists who went for Jill Stein.

But all the same we may have to face the Trump presidency people like Ron Chusid said would be better for America and its future than a Clinton victory.

I guess we'll all see how that works out.

As for me, I see this as something shockingly close to a victory for Buzz Windrip.

It looks like the GOP will control both the senate and the house, and in that case they will certainly not do anything to stop Trump from even egregious violations of the constitution by, for example, abolishing Obamacare by executive order, as he has said he would.

Their only real tool, after all, would be impeachment.

And who thinks a GOP house will vote to impeach a GOP president, no matter what he does?

MSNBC is now explaining how Hillary can win big in the popular vote while losing the Electoral College vote and hence the White House.

Still undecided at 0150 hrs EST.

I must say I will never take pollsters more seriously than my own gut, ever, again.

My gut told me for long this could be a Trump election.

And even if she wins . . . .
