This will be a narrow victory. You're right, there'll be no mandate. But i'm not sure that's important. Trump is bigly popular despite losing the popular vote - more Americans wanted someone else. The Democrats have continued to show how inept they are about looking at their party as a whole and looking at how their opposition wins and saying, " How can we mimic that?"

We were with friends until 4am, they're uber liberals (one is Cuban-American) and they're pissed at the Democrats. The identity politics, focusing so much energy on BLM instead kitchen politics, plays right into the Republicans hands.

We're in for a contentious few days.

I forget who it was on one of the networks I was watching last night but they said the reason why the pollsters have missed so massively across the board is that they don't properly gauge the nationalism that supports Trump. He's a despicable, awful person, and he doesn't really have any platform other than what makes him feel good at the moment, and yet he won one election and came within 2 electoral votes of winning another one, despite being hugely unpopular by wide swaths of the population. And even being as unpopular as he is he hasn't even lost control of Congress for his party either.

You think back to the Reagan days, and even the Clinton days, and heck, even the W days, and even the Obama days. Those guys won, in part, because they championed nationalism, or at least they championed patriotism. They won because they sold the idea that America was a great place, and could be an even better place. As bad as we think we have it here, we really are in a pretty good place in terms of the world. We have issues, but everyone has issues. People still will risk life and limb to get here and live here. Even people in decent places still visit here and then overstay their visas to stay here as well. America, for all of its warts, is still a really great place to be and to live out your life. But right now, Trump is mainly the guy saying that while the Dems have taken the weird tact that not only does America suck, but we've always sucked and we're intrinsically wired to suck and without a complete overhaul we'll continue to suck. I think either party who can find that person who can channel the nationalistic fervor with a good tinge of patriotism, and who isn't bedeviled by being an awful person, can really sweep up in a country desperate for something better than what we've been getting so far in terms of candidates.

It's over. DNC stole it.

So Trump's just trying to steal it back by stopping the vote counting on the 3rd?

WI and MI legislatures probably should have let absentee votes start being counted prior to election day like FL and others did.

In FL, initial numbers were heavily Biden because the mail-in vote was posted first in a huge dump because they had already been scanned. Trump's election day vote gradually eroded that until he had a lead. It wasn't fraud. Just the order the counted votes.

Who would’ve thought Georgia would be a battleground??

Eh, he came on after the GA news. Babbling on about how great he did doesn't matter if it doesn't align with the results.

He's still up by about 118,000 with 93.3% in. They're running out of votes, but it's gonna be razor thin either way.

SDHornet wrote: ↑Wed Nov 04, 2020 6:56 am Not surprised to wake up with Biden in the lead in almost all of the remaining seats after mail in votes are counted. MI Senate race had John James up sizeable and now it's pretty paltry ~60k lead. DNC will manufacture the ballots to pull that one out.

Either way you slice it this is the worst case for the country as I'm sure the legal battle will rage on for weeks. Was hoping to have a decided outcome one way or another so everyone can move on, I know that was asking a lot.

We knew it was going to be like this. The narrow margins really tell a story of how divided we are - something I wish we can overcome.

Did we? Pollsters had Biden WAY up. Lots of suppression polling.

I never saw Biden up in GA.
FNC shows GA now 94% reporting, Trump up by over 100k, over 2%.
