00:00Hillary! Hillary! Hillary! Hillary! Hillary!
00:06Was it all just a dream?
00:17It was the night before the election, 2016.
00:23Everything seemed to be going as planned.
00:26Amateurs and experts alike had already called the election months ago.
00:31There's not going to be a President Donald Trump.
00:34That's not going to happen.
00:36Donald Trump is not going to be President of the United States.
00:40Donald Trump will never be elected President of the United States.
00:44He's not going to be President.
00:45Is there a path to victory for Donald Trump at this point?
00:49No.
00:50Do you still think she has a 100% chance of winning the election?
00:52I do.
00:53I'm not sure the Republican Party is going to survive.
00:56I would like to introduce to you the next President of the United States, Hillary Clinton!
01:03Thank you all, and thanks to Jay-Z and Beyoncé.
01:09And thanks to Chance the Rapper and J. Cole and Nick Sean.
01:15She had no idea who any of these rappers were, but it didn't matter.
01:35The big day is finally here, and it's time to vote.
01:39A giddy nation awoke that morning to the news in the New York Times that Trump had only a 15
01:45% chance of winning.
01:48You know, growing up as a little girl, I never thought I could be President.
01:52It's becoming very real.
01:53Congrats, Hillary, our first woman President.
01:56Whoo, Hillary, out of the way! Out of the way through the White House!
02:00I waited over an hour to vote. I'm so happy.
02:02In Rochester, New York, thousands put I voted stickers on the grave of suffragist Susan B. Anthony.
02:09This is the most important election that I have ever voted in.
02:13I got to vote for a woman for President.
02:16You're going to make me cry.
02:19We finally made it!
02:26Once the polls closed, before the votes were even counted,
02:30the champagne corks were popping at Hillary's victory party in New York City.
02:35This has a literal glass ceiling.
02:38A glass ceiling they're hoping to symbolically burst through tonight.
02:42Let's be one nation, indivisible, with a kick-ass president.
02:49Meanwhile, just 17 blocks away...
02:57It's a decidedly small venue, perhaps the smallest one I've ever seen for an event like this.
03:02Things were looking bad for the other candidate.
03:05The crowd was glum.
03:09GOP officials now fear that if Donald Trump loses by a landslide, he could take down the congressional majorities with
03:16him.
03:18Fox News seemed relieved that they wouldn't have to support this man for the next four years.
03:24I think Hillary's going to win.
03:25The betting odds on the presidential race are three to one, in favor of Secretary Clinton.
03:35Look at all these wins we're projecting for Hillary Clinton right now.
03:39She wins New Jersey with 14 electoral votes.
03:42Mrs. Clinton is also performing strongly on the East Coast.
03:45Massachusetts, Maryland.
03:47And Illinois with 20 electoral votes.
03:49Hillary Clinton projected the winner.
03:51No huge surprises thus far.
03:56Then, something strange began to happen.
04:00Big news for the first time tonight.
04:02Really big news in the presidential race.
04:04We can project that Donald Trump will win the state of Ohio.
04:08Donald Trump will carry the state of North Carolina.
04:11And that is huge for Donald Trump.
04:13This is exactly what he needed to do.
04:16Donald Trump will carry the state of Florida.
04:18State of Wisconsin.
04:19He will win Wisconsin.
04:21Trump doing very well in Pennsylvania right now.
04:25The cliffhanger going on here in Michigan.
04:2756% of the vote is in.
04:29Look at how close it is.
04:31Right now, Donald Trump is ahead.
04:32It's completely flipped now.
04:33To make matters worse, Fox News was using my name.
04:39Michael Moore, who knows white working class voters,
04:41has made movies about them, grew up in Michigan,
04:43had been saying all along to the Democrats,
04:46dismiss him at your own peril.
04:48And he said, I'm warning you,
04:50I know the people who live in my state,
04:52and I know how they think,
04:54and I know what their concerns are.
05:04Everybody should head home.
05:07You should get some sleep.
05:09We're not gonna have anything more to say tonight.
05:13This is a Fox News election alert.
05:16Donald Trump is the President of the United States.
