Clinton on pace to win popular vote, despite losing election

Later in the foyer of the convention centre, under the glass ceiling, the crowd went insane when Mrs Clinton bagged the state of NY, and openly booed Mr Trump when his face appeared on the jumbo TV screen.

A blessing in disguise for Pakistan?

Along with voters with less education, Clinton also failed to reach the bar President Obama set with low-income voters in 2012.

All the dazzling technology, the big data and the sophisticated modelling that American newsrooms bring to the fundamentally human endeavour of presidential politics could not save American journalism from yet again being behind the story, behind the rest of the country.

“We owe him an open mind and a chance to lead”, she said in her concession speech.

“They don’t want to say this loudly, because by declaring themselves as Trump supporters, others will think they are sexist or racist, or that they don’t support a female president, just like Mr Trump himself”, she said. His soaring popularity among white voters without a college degree was essential to his capturing the Rust Belt and holding off Clinton in battlegrounds elsewhere, with voters describing themselves as “fed up” and ready for a different, even if unpredictable, direction.

Many states count votes after Election Day, so Clinton isn’t guaranteed to keep her lead.

Trump also issued his first tweet as president-elect: “Such a attractive and important evening!”

According to a Morning Consult survey this summer, Trump made strong gains with this group, rising 11 points since being almost tied with Clinton at 40 percent in July.

Any calls to scrap the Electoral College are not likely to go anywhere this time, either, with Republicans controlling both the House and Senate.

Hundreds of staffers and supporters gathered at the New Yorker Hotel in midtown Manhattan to hear Clinton speak publicly for the first time after her bruising loss to NY real estate magnate Donald Trump in the early hours of the morning.

“It reinforced what I thought I knew already, which is that Florida is really a state of urban and suburban, and there is a division between the two”, said Susie Wiles, a Jacksonville consultant who headed Trump’s Florida campaign.

He said he had received a call from Clinton to congratulate him on the win and praised her for her service and for a hard-fought campaign. His comments were an abrupt departure from his campaign trail rhetoric in which he repeatedly slammed Clinton as “crooked” amid supporters” chants of “lock her up’.

The United States has endured worse and we will endure under a President Trump.

“Such a lovely and important evening!”

Clinton won women Tuesday by 12 points and lost men by 12 points: a total 24-point gap.

Trump’s Twitter bio also had been updated.

“He just earned a mandate and we now just have a unified Republican government”, House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan, who had a strained relationship with Trump, told reporters in Wisconsin, saying Congress would “hit the ground running” in January.

The Reuters/Ipsos States of the Nation project website did offer an interactive tool that allowed users to adjust the poll’s estimate of turnout and play pollster themselves.

But he was helped by Clinton’s neglect of the region and her failure to fully mobilize her party’s own base, including young voters and African-Americans.

Clinton didn’t appear to lose support from women who voted for Obama.

OK so most of the press got this election spectacularly wrong, but they’re guaranteed to win now with Trump.

Mark McKinnon, a former aide to President George W. Bush, said he is hopeful that President Trump can exceed expectations. As the shock of America selecting a pussy-grabbing Oompa-Loompa leaves you sitting numbly at your desk wondering what time it becomes socially acceptable to turn to hard drink and drugs in the office, these are some silver linings you can cling desperately to. But it begs the question: Can Trump in fact be fair to the world while putting America’s interest first?
