I cannot believe this, but BRF was indeed ahead of the curve!

Too bad 100 of the 109 will be looking at IT being badly affected. :P

Way ahead, if HC loses. DT victory was firmly predicted before primaries were won by both.

^^ Am no US watcher or election expert but i always maintained that Trump might be the one just going by the super vicious campaign against him by the MSM ( of US and the followed by others).

IIRC< even NaMo never had to face the kind of viciousness which Trump was target to. This itself told me that if MSM is so much onto something, am sure the aam-Joe would be thinking the opposite ( just out of sympathy for the underdog due to the overdoing of it by the MSM)

Great tamaacha on the face of self-proclaimed intellectuals, pseudo-liberals, and know-it-all media.

It's not over yet is it? I am watching cricket and had a foregone conclusion that Trump will and should win. Let's hope he does.

That is the way to put it. There was a recent headline in one of the Indian papers something on the line "Is Trump the Modi of US?" or "Is Modi the Trump of India?"

What folks do not realize is that this is an attempt to *associate* Modi with all the undesirable attributes of Trump like his *locker room* banter. Same when lining him with Putin. Do not fall for that.

Sufficient to state that the politics has moved to the right of center in both India and US.

ShivJi used to say something like when NRI relatives come for a visit they give sweeping advice to us unwashed about how the world turns. Hope the times change and hope Trump win will bring shanti and samriddhi to both NRIs and RIs

As soon as FL was projected, game was over. His speeches last 10 days were monumental hitting the chord of the voters, esp rust belt.

Media propaganda like CNN's was so powerful, Indian friends were blindly supporting Hillary and making jokes on Trump supporters. A lot of heartburn, confusion, and fear will be there.

On the positive note that BRF has predicted Trump victory which is matched only the USC-LA Times poll I want to thank all participants even the vituperative ones and hope for the best for Indi-Us relations with like minded leaders in both countries.

As Trump said on Indian TV commercials
