2020 Presidential Election Discussion

Looked at the numbers. The only way Trump can still win is if he keeps his slight edge in the 3 states - Penn, NC, and GA - and picks back up MI or NV.

And MI is almost 100% done reporting in. There is a 70K vote difference. Just not possible to make up that gap.

NV has a difference of 8K votes, though.

And Penn could still go either way until we get beyond 94%. Like I pointed out last night, GA is very likely to settle on Trump with the amount left - the numbers really don't work out to make GA go the other way.

So, yeah, this looks very much like a Biden win, by this point. Amazing how much the very last few percentage points changes the outlook. A bunch of 2000 Floridas in this election.

I really wonder if Jeff Zucker is estatic or horrified.

The former because he probably genuinely hates Trump, and the latter because without a boogeyman in the white house, they have nothing to fill out their 24/7 news cycle that their core demographic cares enough about to reliably tune in on.

@surtur So Biden didn't actually do it. Cool.

I'm laughing cuz both campaigns are claiming victory despite us not having a clear victor yet.

Biden has not "declared victory" because he is not a total idiot.

"I’m not here to declare that we’ve won. But I am here to report that when the count is finished we believe will be the winners."

Trumper to the end, you are loyal Surt. Will you take up arms if the army comes for him as he refuses to leave office hugging his safety blanket like Linus?

Can you explain how correctly pointing out both sides have claimed victory despite no winner being called yet is "being a trumper till the end"? I'm quite curious about the logic.

I never said he did, I knew the weasel games you play which is why I phrased it the way I did.

Biden's been very adamant about waiting until all the votes are counted and the states making the call.

Well Trump just "claimed" EC wins:

"We have claimed, for Electoral Vote purposes, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (which won’t allow legal observers) the State of Georgia, and the State of North Carolina, each one of which has a BIG Trump lead. Additionally, we hereby claim the State of Michigan if, in fact,.....

.....there was a large number of secretly dumped ballots as has been widely reported!"_-Trump

"No. This is the President's ball. Your ball went in the water"

Needs to get his campaign on the same page then, because it just robbed them of the ability to cry about trump doing it.

Surt's very consistent at his equalizing tactics.

Cept Biden didn't do it like Trump just did...

There is a difference between saying you are cautiously optimistic you are about to win, and whatever Trump is doing. If he loses, and tries not to leave office, lll be going to Washington, that's for sure, and I hope every single person here feels the same way. That's if, and yes, were still have a long time to wait.

This was actually a decent night for the repubs even if trump loses.

Mitch won, Susan Collins won.

So it looks like they won't be able to shove their bullshit down our throats.

Neat, I didn't argue otherwise. I said both campaigns declared victory.

People can try to weasel out and say it wasn't uttered by Biden and instead someone in his campaign if they want.
