2020 US General Election Thread VIII: Cs, Ds, and Es

[Thermodolia]

I’d say it’s entirely possible that Georgia will have two democrats. That brings the number to 56

I think it will depend on the first round and who gets into the second because my god that is a packed list
.

From what I hear the DNC is trying to get the other democrat candidates to drop out and endorse Warnock. If that happens it will be him and Loeffler who’s not well liked already

55? That's quite a bump from your last prediction....but the situation has changed quite dramatically as well.

If McConnell pushes this through and loses the senate to the tune of a 56 to 44 dem majority he’s gone

Yes it has, wasn't my last prediction a couple of months ago like 52/53 or something like that? Again this is also A) early and B) subject to change, I wouldn't be too surprised if they were to get 58 and rally even more. 60 However I think could happen but I don't see that happening I think it's lees likely than the Justice seat being filled this year.

One of the few times I can say I hope you are right on this.

Crab rave time?

We could also see 57 and McConnell out of a job. Wouldn’t that be fun?

Yes it would be fantastic to see him lose.

Silver linings...

[Ifreann]

So that’s two. Grassley and Collins are suspected to do the same. Graham might also considering that he’s in hot water atm

It's tough to say: Republicans I think will try to ram although we always talk about Republicans: we need to keep our eyes on Manchin, the most conservative Democrat in the Senate. So, even if four Republicans said no and Manchin says yes, that's a tie-breaking vote by Pence then. Either way, this is going to be a blood bath, and my family is thrilled that Ginsburg is finally gone so they can't want to have a 6-3 court.

Welp, Romney's communications director has said that he is open to having a floor vote.

So, Dems are back to 48 votes (47 Dems and Independents + Murkowski)

That's just holding a vote on the floor: that doesn't mean he'll vote for the nominee;he's already stated he won't. But all nominees, barring any major liability to them, should at least get a hearing and vote. That didn't happen with Garland of course, but us "institutionalists" would have like to see that.

Hmm, okay, it seems he hasn't confirm or deny how he'll vote but I suspect he'll be a "no" vote.

Potentially relevant video about how the Republicans use this slavish adherence to the rules against Democrats.

McConnell: Trump's Supreme Court nominee 'will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate' - I am not doing a happy dance, as a certain nation posted a question on us Republicans, implying we are, I have never wished RBG death. But I hope President Trump will nominate and confirm the most conservative US Supreme Court Justice possible, according to my political views, of course not yours. Like Judge Amy Coney Barrett, or any other conservative as soon as possible, loose or win the election.

A few excerpts:
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said unequivocally Friday night that President Trump’s Supreme Court nominee to fill the vacancy of late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg “will receive a vote on the floor of the United States Senate.”

GMS: The hypocrisy charges against McConnell are mentioned on this article, and defended by McConnel, either way the Democrats have been just as hypocritical many times on other issues. The Republicans are not political saints and the Democrats are not political saints either.

I am the exception: despite being a Libertarian, I won't be voting for the GOP, at least, not this current iteration at least. But holy fuck, this is accurate and honestly, shows why Democrats at times struggle to unite.

My post was a good one, I think you just don't like to hear it. No blah blah. You are one of the ones who declares all my opinions as wrong and your opinions as facts. At least I don't do the same back to you or anyone here.

An Argument you would strongly disagree with anyway, and probably would declare it wrong based on facts, decided by you, who strongly disagrees with me and us Republicans.

Indeed. I am not a democrat. Now.....It will be a cold day in hell before I give a republican a vote.

The Post and source is not a big deal in this case. Fox News is a credible news source to us Republicans no matter what you leftists think and say.

Breitbart is a credible news source for us Republicans no matter what you leftists think or say. I don't call MSNBC or the Progressive, un reliable, garbage, trash and a rag sources, because I strongly disagree with their leftists views and spins.

Fox News, Redstate.org, one America News Network, Townhall and the Epoch Times are credible news sources to us Republicans, no matter what leftists think and say, and allowed on NS.

These sources are not un reliable garbage, trash and a rag sources, because all of you strongly disagree with them.

The right spins it to the right and the left spins it to the left, but they all have substance on their posts.

Let me remind all of you like the broken record I am, a certain leftist nation person, had the nerve to chose for me which news sources I should post from, link from and comment from, decided by the leftist nation person who strongly disagrees with me and us Republicans, how convenient, the nerve of certain persons.

You mean me? I only showed you how your “sources” rated.

I even gave you a source who was rated as being bias free.

You only read echo chambers of your opinions and yet you have the temerity to call yourself fair and balanced.

There's a terrible prophetic energy to this video, I can practically feel Democrats meekly crying "Stop, hypocrite!" while they allow McConnell to force through a confirmation.

It’s probably why a lot of democrat voters are now saying fuck the rules and being nice. Drive the republicans off the cliff if ya have too has become the new mantra.

A lot of democrat voters are sick of the pussyfooting around that the democrats congressional leadership does

No I do not mean you, I have posted about this certain nation person many times like the broken record I am But you have criticized and put down my right wing sources many times. You always declare my posts wrong based on facts, decided by you, and you have the temerity to charge me with temerity, but you are not the only one on NS. So according to you, it seems like you have never read echo chambers of your opinions. The same goes for many of you here on NS.

ActBlue has raised 11 million in the last two hours. I can't imagine that stopping anytime soon.

As bad as her death is it’s probably going to be the best fundraising event for the democrats ever. They are going to raise over 50 million by the end of the weekend.

That’s a lot of money

I suppose that would be a good thing to come from such a tragedy.

[Talvezout]

It's great that ActBlue is getting a ton of money, but I would also hope people are donating to Jewish charities, orgs, mutual funds, cancer mutual funds, etc.

Sadly, I cannot say if that's so. This is more out of desperation rather than solely out of sympathy.
