if mainstream clinton media abc, cbs, nbc, pbs, cnn haven't called, it's not legit. :p
NBC has finally projected 278 EVs for Trump:not surprising that abc, cbs and nbc are still holding out on finality with 245 tally for trump.

Why rough ride?
America will be great again.
Well, in a democracy, we respect the results.
The people has spoken, for better or for worse. The comforting message is that this is what makes America a great democratic country, there is a peaceful transition of power.
Personally, I am just not impressed by Trump as a person. I have followed this entire election campaign quite closely, and in my (personal) opinion, trump comes across as someone with not much solid substance, with little policy ideas.
He is just a very media-savvy person. He knows how to make use of the TV media to his advantage. It has been almost like a TV production/show for himself.
I just hope he does not make a mockery of the US Presidency, that is all what I want to mean by "a rough ride".
Do you know that he was the only Presidential candidate who has not declared his tax returns publicly, and has not paid his due share of taxes for the last ten years? Where is his moral leadership to lead a country governed by laws? Americans are not that politically apathetic like Singaporeans. They will not allow him to set a dangerous precedent. Trump will have a very short "honeymoon" period.
Trump won because Hillary was just as corrupted. It was a difficult choice between the devil and the deep blue sea.
Trump would not have won if Bernie was the Democratic nominee. (or for that matter, Gore, Kerry etc. or other previous Dem. nominees)
Give him a chance, not many including Margaret Thatcher thought Ronald Reagan could do the job but he did quite well with his Reaganomics and Star Wars. Perhaps in Trump's case, the job will make the man too.

Trump won because he tapped into the anger of the disenfranchised people who had been left behind by globalization and by unbridled immigration. The erosion of small town values, the wrecked families, the sense of loss of purpose and hope. All these are real. I bet no one at Ang Mo Kio St 62 saw this coming either. You can't just sit in front of FB and SBF and pontificate. Have you talked to someone, an American perhaps?

If Trump lost, then you can come up with another crap theory to justified it.
GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK
