HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE, LEGAL EDUCATION EDITION: Post-Merger Rutgers Law School In ‘Crisis’ As 1L Enrollment Falls 31% From 2015 (62% From 2011) At Camden.

IRAQIS DISCOVER MORE ISLAMIC STATE WAR CRIMES

WALL STREET ELITES STUNNED: Good.

RELATED: The smart money people wasted a hell of a lot of money on Hillary’s “public and private positions.” Translation: Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank and other financial powers bet on Hillary’s hypocrisy and Hillary’s lies. And they lost. This is good news.

CNN –AKA CLINTON NEWS NETWORK– SAYS REPUBLICANS KEEP CONTROL OF CONGRESS: It’s 4:30 AM Texas time and my quick scan of news updates produced a CNN link. It’ll serve.

Republicans pulled off a political stunner Tuesday night — running the table down-ballot and keeping control of the House and Senate, CNN projects. In a year when the GOP was almost entirely on defense, the party’s incumbents — many outspent and hobbled by struggling campaigns — managed to survive a political landscape that long appeared all but certain to cost them the Senate.

Whoops. Maybe the CNN link won’t serve. RE: “entirely on defense”? Hey, CNN, can you end the spin? Hillary was on the defensive, you blinkered fools. She’s a criminal and American voters knew it. Apparently you didn’t know it. Or if you knew she was a crook you decided to ignore it.

HIS COMFORT THAT IS; AND THE CANADIAN CONSULATE IS DOWN! Liberal Media Freaking Out! Chris Matthews Says It’s Too Close for Comfort.  How hard can it be to process “we don’t like you, Mr. Fell, the reason why, you know it well.”?

SO I THINK THIS IS SAFELY OVER, BUT THERE WILL BE TURBULENCE:

November 8@11:14 PM Stephen Kruiser

So provisional ballots are the reason that MSNBC isn’t calling Pennsylvania. This is why I found being forced to fill out a provisional ballot today so suspect. Reiterating: I had to fill one out because, according to the story told to me by the poll workers, I had been sent a vote by mail ballot, which I had never requested.

Votes that are counted after election night are the Devil’s Playground for fraud. All kinds of things can happen, and they are almost never good for the Republican candidate.

INSIDE THE LOSS HILLARY—AND THE POLITICO—SAW COMING:

None of it was enough, though all of it should have been, and likely would have been for another candidate. She couldn’t escape being the wrong candidate for the political moment.

Interviews over the closing weeks of the 2016 campaign with members of Clinton’s innermost circle, close advisers and other aides reveal a deep frustration with their failure to make a dent, a consuming sense that their candidate’s persecution paranoia might actually be right, and a devastating belief that they might never persuade Americans to vote for her.

“There was no way to generate momentum,” one top adviser said.

Any positive storyline from Clinton “was always fragile,” admitted that adviser, and issues related to the emails inevitably stripped away any uptick in Clinton’s favorable ratings.

“This has been a campaign that has thrived on moments,” Mook said in an interview in his office in the back corner of the Brooklyn headquarters a week before the election. “When voters see the candidates juxtaposed, we do better. When they’re not juxtaposed, he normalizes. He becomes the Republican nominee, instead of Donald Trump.”

Note that the Politico gathered all these quotes in anticipation of Hillary losing; this article dropped very quickly after she conceded to President-Elect Trump on Wednesday morning. And while it’s no doubt that they prepared a similar article ready to go if Trump lost, imagine how much more of a defeat it would have been if the DNC-MSM had been running pieces like this on Monday night, rather than as a postmortem.

FINALLY PUT TO REST: The Election Fables of 2016.

DID OBAMA KNOW IT WAS GAME OVER? Outgoing President used election night speech to tell Americans: ‘No matter what happens—the sun will rise in the morning.’

YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN: The Most Extraordinary Election of our Lifetime.

OF COURSE HILLARY IS REFUSING TO CONCEDE.  AND YET, DING DONG, THE WITCH IS GONE: AP calls Pennsylvania for Trump.  It’s Over.  Trump Has Won the Presidency of the United States.  Good Night, Hillary.  

I DISAGREE.  THE PRESS IS BEYOND REFORM: Time to Play Catch-Up on Hillary.

DING DONG HILLARY CONCEDES: According to CNN she has conceded. But who can believe CNN? Good point. The mainstream media lost this election, which makes this a big win for the American people. As for the ding dong — the wicked mishandler of classified information is still with us…but Obama had better not pardon her.

UPDATE: Trump says he wasn’t running a campaign, but participating in a movement. “The forgotten men and women in our country will be forgotten no longer.”

AND WISCONSIN HAS BEEN CALLED FOR TRUMP: Goodnight Irene.

Update: Hillary called to concede.  She managed to surprise me.

Forget it, Jack, it’s 2016!

IF NOTHING ELSE, LET THE RECORD SHOW THAT HISTORY DOESN’T COME WITH AN ARROW AND THAT PROGRESSIVE VICTORY IS NOT INEVITABLE.  IT IS ENOUGH FOR ME: History’s Unexpected Guest.

What are we looking at — considering the vote totals at 2:15 AM EST? Will Trump take slightly over 300 electoral votes? Damn, he was supposed to lose! 300+ electoral votes are an estimate. The vote totals are incomplete. So let’s agree it isn’t over until it’s over. All the dead Democrats have yet to vote. The Robert Creamer Democrat thugs are out there, ready to incite violence.

But. But. But whatever the final count, it sure looks like the crooked leftist media lost.

DEAR LIBERALS, WHEN YOU TRY TO PROCESS TONIGHT, START WITH THIS: Elite cities are pushing out the working class.

REMEMBER IF YOUR SCHADENFREUDE LASTS FOR MORE THAN 4 HOURS, CALL ALL YOUR LIBERAL FRIENDS AND BRAG ABOUT IT: Planning to flee to Canada? Try accessing the immigration website first.  Also DO try to flee to Canada, cupcakes, and find out how tight other countries’ immigration policies are!

YADDA YADDA, HOW DOES THAT COMPARE TO BEING A KNOWN FELON, A LIKELY TRAITOR AND THE PATRON SAINT OF PEOPLE WHO DO SPIRIT COOKING AND ARE LIKELY PEDOPHILES? Presidency Likely Wouldn’t Shield Trump From Pending Lawsuits.

OH, THEY WON’T CALL IT AND SHE MIGHT NEVER CONCEDE, BUT THIS IS WHAT I’M WATCHING:

And it is, to a great extent, a rejection of the progressive, globalist project, and all its false glamour, and all its empty promises.

Boom.

OUCH: “It’s possible Martha Coakley may soon lose her title as worst candidate in history.”

NATALIE SOLENT: “I think Brexit was the gateway drug to President Trump.”

OOPS: Final Election Update: There’s A Wide Range Of Outcomes, And Most Of Them Come Up Clinton. Well, it’s not quite over yet.

UPDATE: Link fixed!

PAUL KRUGMAN: OMG, Trump looks to be winning! “What we do know is that people like me, and probably like most readers of The New York Times, truly didn’t understand the country we live in.”
