It's tightening up a little again at $1.30/$3.35 in favour of Donald Trump and the ASX200 has gone from being 200 down to 130 down.

ABC's live page has the following on the US Senate,

Chas Licciardello is reporting from his very well decorated US election bunker, he brings us this update on the results for the Senate.

"In Wisconsin, Republicans are 7 per cent up with 37 per cent counted. New Hampshire, 3 per cent up with 45 per cent counted and Missouri, 13 per cent up, those are three of the critical states. With those states there, they are on 52 seats, which means they can afford to lose New Hampshire and still keep the Senate, so at this point in time it is looking like the Republicans are very likely to keep the Senate.

"This means if Trump becomes president, he can do whatever he likes, he will have the House, the Senate and it'll be Trump time.

"If Clinton pulls it out, then she won't be able to do anything she likes, she will have a Republican Senate and a Republican House blocking her all the way."

As notting (ASF member) mentioned, the herd mentality will come to an acceptance of Frump being president and hope for better will buoy the markets. Maybe! :cool:
 
Odds now $1.06/$8. Has got to $1.02/$12.

ASX200 down 92.

ABC cut it's broadcast of QT on Channel 21 short to have another of its stations covering the US election.
 
Trump as President!!! Wow.
Let's hope this works out. The USA need change, at least this will make it more likely.
The Republican Party has been changed forever.

Yes some deep reflection on what has just transpired is needed......

Right after I troll all these SJW :roflmao:
My God their tears are delicious.
 
ABC radio, pure train wreck entertainment.

This is great stuff. WW3 is worth this PMSL!

Maybe now there will be no WW3,

Gold up $60 today, one could see coming.

Market drops are going to hurt a lot of innocents unfortunately, but as they were built on borrowings this had to come too.

eh Knobby22, I fully agree with you again.What's happening???Interesting time ahead but I feel safer travelling to Russia, China and the US next year under Trump.

Lol. You can't say much more than Wow. The Democrats need to scuttle the Clintons and rid themselves of them. The era of passing the presidency as though it's a royal title through families is over.

Strange world we are in.

You are onto something there McLovin.
As the reporter Shapiro said, the powers that be were expecting this to be a Bush/Clinton election.
Americans hate royalty. In the end I think Americans hated Clinton just a little more than they hated Trump.

I saw a stat that many people would have voted for Obama again (he had a 59% approval rating) but they couldn't stomach Clinton.
 
Sportsbet is still running a market. $12/$1.02.

A question now is the implications for our domestic politics.

Firstly, it makes Bill shorten look a little nuts based on his past commentary.

For the Libs, it's a bit more interesting. It will embolden the conservatives within the party leaving not much for Malcolm Turnbull but then he didn't stand to gain much either way given that he's still fighting battles on two fronts.
 
Sometimes against-all-odds victories can inspire the gentle personality traits to emerge (compassion, humility, empathy). Trump has them hidden away somewhere, so you never know - he might find a new maturity in this role. I hope he has a good group of people to support and guide him, and reel him in when necessary.

That's really thoughtful Gringott. Can you send me over a bit of what your having? It would be nice.

That's all folks. No point worrying about what is going to happen now. The fuse is lit.
