Beginning of election comments
“Chances of Winning Election (polls-only forecast): Hillary Clinton- 71.4%. Donald Trump-28.6% Time: 5:58 pm” -Lindsay
“I bet my uncle money that Hillary would win. Guess who is getting paid!”-Marcus.
“The Clinton campaign is increasingly confident about winning florida. Hispanic voter numbers have skyrocketed!” -Rachel
“Hilary is supposed to win by such large margins, the chance of Trump winning is so small.”
Middle of election
“I find it crazy how many people are voting for trump!”-Yannik
“It’s scary to think that people are actually willingly voting for Trump…what do they see in him?”- Acadia
Julien- “It’s just really striking how close the election is. I just can’t picture almost half the United States voting Trump.”
“Electoral Vote counts Donald is ahead in both electoral vote and popular ehhh!!” – Cole
“I agree. Even with all of the terrible things Donald Trump has done he still has LOTS of supporters” – Kiki`
“I don’t know about anybody else but this whole thing seems surreal to me.
That this is ACTUALLY happening. Wow. Like before when I heard the name Trump I just thought of a tie company, but now he might be our president!” – Natalie.
Towards the end of election
“This is insane, it looks like Trump may win. I can’t handle this. He is ahead in all of the states Hillary was supposed to win, such as Michigan, and Virginia. He also has a lead in Florida, which is an important swing state!” -Sylvie
“If Trump wins, all three branches will be Republican controlled. The democrats will have a hard time getting anything done but the Republicans will probably agree on everything and make many new laws, bills and general decisions.” -Charlie
End of the election
“Trump won. Wow. There is something seriously wrong with our country. I’m just honestly scared now.” – Gwen
“I CAN’T BELIEVE IT… how….” – Miles
And those are the reactions of the eighth graders throughout the presidential election
