Trump...well known for his political acumen and rational thinking.

there wouold def be primaries

even if she took over for him there could theoretically be primaried. Reagan almost beat Ford in the primaries in 1976 and Ford was technincally an incumbent

but yes Harris would liekly be the candidate

lol birdman always says what i am trying to say, but says it better than i do

Can we start wagering on when President Kamala Harris is sworn in or is that too gauche for thread sensibilities?

sigh

AOC will be 35 in 2024

She'll be a multimillionaire by then, perfect time to run. Maybe she'll primary Schumer in 2022 first tho

Morning update from where I'm sitting:


Trump's path to victory at this point requires him to get counted votes uncounted.

Thoughts, Mets VMF?

the "nate silver" trending page on twitter is good for a laugh

This thread is definitely going to be civil for the next few days

I stayed up and watched Trump speak last night. I actually was watching Fox News instead of CNN.

It was interesting to see the folks at Fox outline what Trump ought to say, but they were pretty sure based on his Tweets (and Trump in general) that he would not go that route.

In true Trump spirit he whined like a baby. He questioned the validity of any more votes counted in the states he was leading in, but was mad that Fox called Arizona because there were still "Trump" areas that have not been counted????

The Fox folks seemed embarrassed.

Would it have been that hard for Trump to come out and say.

-Thanks to all Americans for voting (was not going to happen because does not care about anyone but himself)

- We feel very good about the leads we have and the path to 270

-We are looking good to retain the senate (was not going to happen because he does not care about the rest of the party)

-Urge patience (was not going to happen because why should the leader of the Nation try to reassure the citizens when it is all about him)

-Not talk about anyone stealing an election. (lol..of course)

4 years in office and still not potty trained. Sad.

Anyway, now that things have turned around some for Biden, and things are looking better, it would be really nice in Pennsylvania did not matter for Biden's 270.

Throw the ball to the courts and hope something good happens. More or less.

Since Mi and Wi have flipped looks like 270 - 268 for Biden. If Biden gets Pa or Ga then it should be a lock for him. But Trump has a pretty big lead at Pa though and he seems to be getting Ga too. Nv extremely close and counted for Biden so anything might still happen.

im not convinced that he lost michgan yet.

hes prob gonna win PA but thats not enough

i believe biden will win

Does mitch McConnell go in the top 10 of a "goat" "politicians" of all time draft?

Mets, you should start a charity where poor and middle class people who want taxes to be lower on corporations and billionaires at the expense of social programs can donate some of their paycheck to help support the rich people who will inevitably create new jobs with your donations.

I vaguely remember in 2000 bushs least in Florida going from like 10k to 1k after a Recount. Isn't 9k vote change kind of a lot? Maybe it was more manual but seems like it shouldn't be that hard to get correct.

I'd take him pretty high, I overvalue evil when it comes to assessing GOAT politicians and when you add in effectiveness that's a great combination.

The 2000 "election" was an unambiguous coup d'etat so probably not the best basis of comparison.

Not necessarily. From what I've read this morning he's actually outperforming in AZ on the ballots that are still being counted. If it were enough to make a difference there, he could still squeak things out.

I don't think that's likely though.

He's done it his way for 70+ years and it got him all the way to the Oval Office. I don't care for it either but he's not ashamed.

Dems also didn't back a person who polled better against mitch in Kentucky and was more progressive etc and almost won despite almost no backing.

Disappointed. Wisconsin turnout is looking like over 100 percent of registered voters. Huge amounts of votes coming in from overnight to change leads to deficits. Arizona kind of fishy. Didn't trust the early call. Need to audit the vote in Wisc, Mich. Saw a 128g votes added to Bidens total with 0 added to trumps. Not really sure why the vote counting stopped in all the places Trump was up when i was up at 3 am and then wake up and hes somehow down. But hey, the reason I wasnt super confident in a trump win was mass mail in voter fraud. and here we are!
