2020 US General Election Thread VI: Covid for VP!

[Cisairse]

Like imagine waking up on Wednesday and this is the map:

That would be absolutely freaking amazing and we'd have breathing room in the Senate for 2022 which is difficult map for Republicans anyway. Plus it means an expanded House majority and the damage in state legislatures would likely be massive

If this is what the EC map looked like and the Senate votes followed the presidential votes, the Senate would end up being 58 D + VP to 42 R.

The Senate hasn't been that lopsided since the 1970s.

1. The Democratic party in New Mexico should probably take the chance to evaluate why they lost voters to Green Party candidates and how they can win voters back.

2. Perhaps the GOP would have a much more difficult time funding the Green Party to divide the left if the DNC adopted some of the Green Party platform into their platform and merge the Green Party with their party.

1. My New Mexico anecdote is actually from a few years ago. The Democrats dominate New Mexico now.

2. The Green Party in Montana is getting unsolicited assistance from the Republicans. The GOP knows that they could hold on to Montana if they can divide the non-GOP vote. They tried the same thing in Arizona, but the Green Senate candidate dropped out and endorsed Kyrsten Simena.

hmmm....according to NYT, Wolf's ordered a 7-day extension for mail-in ballots in six Pennsylvania counties, and the state GOP is prepared to fight it.

I would love that and it would mean that 60 votes is in reach in 2022.

Polls are now closed in CDT Indiana.

I'm almost scared of what Ds would do with presidency + House + supermajority in senate

Repeal the Constitution and install a Communist dictatorship under the joint leadership of Supreme Chair Sanders and a triumvirate of the Squad. Didn't you get the memo?

If the Øptimus and Morning Consult polls from this week hold up for the general, Biden will defeat Trump by a greater popular vote margin than any election since President Reagan's 49-state landslide against former Vice President Mondale in '84.

Like imagine waking up on Wednesday and this is the map:

I wonder when’s the last time I heard Trump can’t win

Is Biden doing everything possible to get people to dislike him more?

"The polls, taken today, look like Biden is doing really well right now" is several worlds away from the argument "Trump can never win"

Nope. He's clearly disappointing you.

How's everything in Iceland?

I'm not sure how you reached the conclusion that Biden controls the thoughts and actions of GWB's former administration.

Watch people become Bush apologists in 3… 2… 1…

Isn’t it funny the same people who passionately opposed Romney and McCain suddenly became "respectful" of them after they opposed Trump? It’s almost like some people think beating Trump is more important than helping American people

We won't know that for at least four hours, Iowa keeps polls open late.

It's a simple formula

MAGA + childish nicknames - facts - empirical evidence - truth = Trump win!

Also, the buck never stops with Trump. Responsibility & accountability have too many syllables. Trump has all the best words.
