The exit polls were crap, only serving to excite the Democrats and depress the republicans for a few hours, until the Republicans realized how overepresented women were in the polls.
The GOP, to it's credit, kept madly spinning victory, and successfully leaned on the networks not to trust the polls for calling outcomes
As the returns came in, the discrepancies became obvious, the Republicans relaxed, and it was the Democrats' turn to get depressed.
Exit polls are notoriously inaccurate, potentially harmful to the democratic process, and should be abandoned.
