But saying that, those that chose not to vote obviously didn't care enough about the outcome. You can't complain if you didn't vote.

A lot of blokes at work would not listen when I told them they should vote. They were so sure that trump would not win that they didn't want to ruin their day off by going and voting. Stupid stupid people everywhere

Not so funny anymore - the recession is already starting.
Stock markets down, national currencies falling, gold going up.

Except Franco, has $53 on Uncle Don!

The recession hasn't just started, it was on in earnest long before todays dog and pony show.

Excellent, world needs a shake up. I've called it from the start, you can only kick the majority for so long until it will bite.

is it true , the latest rumors of Hilary and bill, were seen boarding a plane to non extradition country rio de janeiro?

[.:4:.]

Hmmmmm... maybe Kanye West has a shot with his claim of president 2020. Such a backwards political system they have. Nothing more then a popularity contest, does anyone who chooses to vote, vote on policies? or do all the smart people not vote?

This isn't a win for the majority or the good guys. This is a power play by those that really wield the power.

I read that as well, but don't give it much credence at all.

Rumour has it there is plush residence in Qatar waiting for the Clintons - Qatar has no extradition treat with USA.

Homeland security needs to put Hilary, Bill, Podesta and Huma on a stop list.

I'm sure people voted to appease the writers for the Simpsons...

Of course he would. Franco's on the powder.

This result shouldn't come as a surprise, Trump destroyed 16 republican contenders on his way to securing the nomination. Hillary only just beat the walking dead Bernie.

[Pepscobra]

So has he won yet?
Anyone actually called it?

[bingoTE50]

Comb overs are back . Beards are gone! Can see a Trump Calendar like old mate Putin .

I called it at midday when he was starting to take the lead.

He was $10 to one this morning. If you'd chucked a cheeky 1k on him, you'd be 9k up now!

Being following the betting all day. Went from $6 to 1 Trump to Clinton, at 12:30 then went almost a full 180 to $1.04 to 6 after lunch. Clinton went to $12 at one point, 10, 8 back to 12. While trump stayed at 1.02/1.04.

Following the betting as a guide, because they usually have good intel, because obviously they don't want to lose money.

It's the year of the underdog.

If someone told you that Bulldogs would with the AFL trophy, Cronulla the NRL, a small single car team would win Bathurst, the Cubs the World Series, an DJ trump president, you'd of be laughing so hard you pee yourself.

I'm glad he's about to win. Politicians have become so arrogant and inward looking that their blindness has become their downfall. Australia for example has had 3 elections (10' 13' 16) in a row with unexpected results and still our politicians haven't understood the message. They were blind to Brexit and now they were blind to Trump.

The midis have played their part, telling people how to vote and badgering them will just annoy them.

The public are over the current system and politicians looking at themselves, until they get that then there will be more Trumps to come.

[Peterwl]

Great to see our leftist fruitcake media commentators almost crying.

Spare a thought for our NSW Premier who helped pass a motion in the NSW Parliament that Trump was a Slug and some other immature terms.

He may have to go to Washington one day and plead NSW's case for some investment.

President Trump, or his Secretary of Trade I hope humiliates him, same goes for our embarrassment of a Foreign minister.

While Malcolm Turnbull is a dud, at least he had the experience to keep his mouth shut on this issue.

It is no Australians business who the Americans elect.

Good times ahead !

[Franco Cozzo]

The people crying on the news footage about Donald Trump winning and the looks on their faces reminds me when I told the class Santa isn't real in grade 3

[LTD Ute]

Unless you actually manage your Super and put it somewhere safe, you'd better check it!
And you're retired and living off Super, take another hit

[XByoot]

Clinton concedes and Trump wins...Mexico wants the wall built to keep the Americans out.

[Mercury Bullet]

Didn't he say he wasn't going to respect the result a few weeks ago?
