There is a positive note for Republicans no matter the outcome. If Biden wins, which will be extremely close, then the next election will be guaranteed a Republican win.

Will it? You mind also giving me next week's lottery numbers whilst you've got your crystal ball out?

That said, I'm working on the assumption Biden only runs from 1 term. I'm also expecting a defeated Trump to run for the Republican nomination again in 2024. That or a Trumpist like Mike Pompeo or Tom Cotton (urgh).

Michigan flipped in favour of Biden, and the gap in Pennsylvania is now below 600k. There's still hope!

Hope for the man who had ties with Herman Talmadge, James Eastland AND Strom Thurmond?  Why is no one talking about this???

As if it wasn't in plain sight.

Because if we want to play that game, Trump said Jeffery Epstein was a terrific guy and even mentioned that Epstein loved women as much as he did, and even said that he "liked them young". When his pedophile recruiter was brought to trial, he said he wished her well.

If you want to say that Biden is guilty of the crimes of every person he ever complimented, fine. Just do the same for Trump.

Should we list all the bad people Trump has ties with?

There's a reason why many democrats, and especially leftist, are saying that Biden is a bad candidate. But as bad as he is, he's still better than Trump, and especially in that regard.



Biden is ahead by a hair now in both Wisconsin and Michigan. If he gets both, he should have 270, if I calculate correctly. If not, the election is decided in Pennsylvania.

Even if Biden does win, it's not looking good for the Dems in the House and Senate, meaning basically nothing will be done for at least two years.

It's just downhill for Trump on MI, WI, NV, so I'm pretty confident these will be called. ME-02 and Collins could go down to ranked choice voting. GA and PA looking reasonable.

Also thoughts for election night: holy shit that was a miss on how Cuban-Americans and White Women were going to vote. Pollsters suck.

Ok, that's fine.  I'm talking about Joe Biden.  It doesn't excuse Trump for anything that he said.  I'm saying Joe Biden was with these people that actively fought against civil rights.  This isn't a matter of, "oh but the other guy did this."  Joe Biden was literally working with segregationists.  It doesn't change the fact that no one is talking about what Joe Biden has done.  Donald Trump has also said, "if she weren't my daughter, i'd date her."  I'm not claiming to like Trump.  I'm talking about Joe Biden and Joe Biden's racist past.



As of this 9:30am Thursday morning I see the current state of the remaining uncalled states (going by the most conservative estimates so I include Arizona)

Very likely Biden
Arizona, Michigan

Likely Biden
Wisconsin, Nevada

Toss up
Pennsylvania, Georgia

Very likely Trump
north Carolina

100% sure Trump won it
Alaska

Trump Needs one state that I currently have in the likely Biden category. Biden just need the states I think he likely or very likely to win.



A Biden-win based on mail-in ballots where there has been no chain of custody for the ballot is not a legitimate win as far as i am concerned.
