Clinton's 'Chances of winning' sank to 50 per cent around 2.15am (GMT).
They were predicting an electoral college lead of fewer than 20 votes.
Then Trump pulled ahead.
By 3.30 am, following the prediction that Trump had stomped to victory in Ohio, the New York Times put a Trump victory at almost inevitable.
