    Ya see to me a lame duck nomination is the same as after the election. Keep in mind this thing isn't gonna be called for at least a couple of weeks. But I look forward to the optics of it all.
    I think the odds have increased that it will be called sooner than that. Fingers crossed though!
    It may have but the civil war slant is very much in play. As I've been saying from the beginning - especially now that this new poll for PA coming out showing only 12% of Rs are voting by mail - that how this will go is: Fuckface still gets out to a huge lead on election night, then an absolute tsunami of mail in ballots come in and he gets beat. He comes out and screams RIGGED and to his Proud Boys he told to standby will now be given the word to take the law into their own hands.

    On a semi-related note - our ward leader told me there's a chance these dipshits with assault weapons show up out outside some of the polls to intimidate and suppress the vote. Gonna be a fun day.

    Yeah, but JP, if Biden wins by 3-4% (he's up 6% now), it will be a hell of a lot more difficult for Trump to claim it was rigged. If it's within 1% or so like last time, sure. But a lot of good polling for Joe lately in our commonwealth. I'd imagine that will continue at this point...

    I do not think it will be as close as it was last time. Now, I could be completely wrong for sure, but I'll be completely surprised if he wins by anything more than 2%. This state is awful - there's also the chance of this: https://www.spotlightpa.org/news/2020/09/pa-election-integrity-committee-house-republicans-voting/

    Really, really, really hope we flip the house at the state level - I'd argue we need that more than at the federal level for so many reasons.

    Even 2% would be tough for him to challenge. That's like 120,000 votes. 

     I can't believe we are under a month. These last four years have felt like a couple decades.

    I don't think it's going to particularly close on election day at this point. It could change, but I don't see it.

    I mean don't have to go too far back to Florida in 2000 for ~100k votes. EDIT: I should say the Dems wanted to recount over 100k I believe.

    I distinctly remember Election Day four years ago. It was one beautiful day....and then it wasn't, haha.

    Sooooo many mail in ballots. Definitely not going to be able to decipher anything. If the news that night reports it correctly then I'd feel better about it but they won't. If it says "Trump leading with 5% of precincts reporting", then that would make sense, but I have no faith in it being reported correctly.
  • Cliffy6745Cliffy6745 Posts: 33,880
    He is done. This decision to leave the hospital just compounds it. Whatever the base number is, he's going to get that and he's not going to get another vote.

    The news does report at the precinct level.

    Hillary was different.  Barring something insane, this race is over.

    Yes, which is why it the last four years has felt like decades.

    lol I was reading this drug/steroid is given to chemo patients and they're explicitly told not to believe that the energy boost they feel is permanent. On top of that old people with Covid can literally do a 180 in how they feel overnight.

    I actually had to look those tweets up to see if they were real. And, my god, they are. Yeesh.
  • The JugglerThe Juggler Posts: 49,070
    Leaving is one thing, but to tweet "don't worry about covid" when 200,000 have died and millions have been infected, WHILE you're in the hospital you were airlifted to is just fucking beyond the pale. 

    I feel a lot better than I did a week ago. Wish we can just fast forward 4 weeks though, cuz who knows what else is gonna happen.

    So after all this, and looking at my main sources for all this stuff - 538, 270towin, The Economist model, and PredictIt - I really really really don't wanna say landslide. Not yet, but like this is all making me think he just doesn't want to do it anymore and he's doing everything in his power to sabotage himself.

    But whatever, if the Dems lock down all branches on the ballot they really gotta stop being the feckless dipshits they are and start stepping on some throats.

    I really gotta stop thinking about this shit because I do not want to feel good right now.

    Biden up 10, 7 and 7 in PA in most recent three polls...

    PredictIt has him up to 74c, up 3 cents today. That's crazy. If anyone's gonna throw money around - Al Gross in AK is worth the underdog price.

    HA now he's calling off relief bill talks before the election (but NOT SCOTUS nominations!). This guy is definitely taking his ball and going home.

    100%.  He wants his SC pick to go through and for that to be his legacy...3 picks.

    I'm telling you guys, we may not have as long a wait as we think to know who wins this thing.

    Lame duck president, lame duck senate making decisions that affect the next 50 years. Makes perfect sense. Pack the fucking court.

    Updated: White House drops objections to the FDA regarding a vaccine, which will most likely not have any shot of being out before the Election.

    GEE I WONDER WHY HE PULLED OUT OF RELIEF BILL TALKS.

    My god now this is a fucking swamp.
