If only elections were like Saturday Afternoon Football. Turn on the TV at 4.50 and you get the results. Election Night just drags on and on and on. I managed 5 minutes of the CNN coverage, that was more than enough for me. Why not just show great themed movies like Mr Smith Goes to Washington, do a 5 minute election summary and then move on to the next movie.
Even better idea, if you can trust a rodent with the arrival of Spring, let the Groundhog choose The President. Way cheaper, way quicker and way less opportunity for election fraud. Now that’s an Election Special Night I would watch.

Not a bad idea.

When we were kids, our special election broadcast was mostly old movies, favorite dramas and shows peppered with election results later at night. We watched it so eagerly.

I guess I’m too close a neighbour to the US. You have a better perspective gazing at the scene from across the Atlantic.

Electing a convicted felon who has also been twice impeached. It’s a world turned on its head. His federal criminal cases and his state case will simply evaporate.

As soon as you mentioned “CNN” — one of the propaganda and distortion arms of the DNC, it explained why so many on the left are surprised or brain-broken with Tuesday’s overwhelming results. Switching the dial a new notches might help. I guess the bottom line is that Americans have finally been “unburdened by what has been”, which is really a very good thing for every citizen.

I loved “Mr. Smith goes to Washington!” At least we found out who one the same night! Before actual “election day” I was hearing that it would probably be a week or more before finding out because it was expected to be extremely close! Well, it wasn’t close at all! Thanks for sharing!
