I thought this was funny. According to his bio, he is: "An Immigrant-Loving, Hybrid-Driving, Composting American Makes the Case for Conservatism • Speaker • MSNBC Political Analyst •"
An honest to God cult of personality - formed around a failed steak salesman.

Re: 2020 Presidential Election: Joe Biden vs Whoever the Republicans Nominate
So, what’s the source of your knowledge? There’s roughly 45 million people in that age group. How are you tuned in to their preferences as a group? How do you know more than folks who study representative samples and how to poll them?
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.
Re: 2020 Presidential Election: Joe Biden vs Whoever the Republicans Nominate
Yeah dude, probably all 257k all voted for Biden. There feel better. The melt down is going to be hilarious when Trump is still in power on Jan 22.Steve of phpBB wrote: ↑Sat Oct 24, 2020 9:09 pmSo, what’s the source of your knowledge?

Where did I say I was for Trump. I have always said I’m preparing myself for him winning. There will be some cheating bullshit.

The bolded is right out of the playbook of those who don't give a flying crap about Trump.

Now there's an outbreak in Pence's office. And of course, he's going to go out campaigning and doing rallies.

I'm sure glad Trump has a bullet proof plan to distribute a vaccine...

I don't think this is much of a winning message:
Re: 2020 Presidential Election: Joe Biden vs Whoever the Republicans Nominate
Maybe “killing all the olds, especially the black ones, with the pandemic” wasn’t the best campaign tactic.
My avatar corresponds on my place in the Swamp posting list with the all-time Home Run list. Number 45 is Paul Konerko with 439.

So that's how Covid will be defeated - "Because we're Americans..."
And of course, it's all Biden's fault.

The campaign phone banks were calling GA yesterday. Everyone I talked to (which wasn’t many people) had either voted or planned to go vote tomorrow.

Wasn't scary and actually really important. I used to listen to Thom Hartmann's radio show every day. The guy was the best. Super intelligent and knowledgeable, and delivered in a such a calm, grandfatherly tone.

Re: 2020 Presidential Election: Joe Biden vs Whoever the Republicans Nominate
Yeah I do go over the top, but we all lived through Gore/Bush. This is going to be that x50
I don’t see how Trump don’t contest this with the mail in voting and with so many swing states having Repubs in control it’s scary
Re: 2020 Presidential Election: Joe Biden vs Whoever the Republicans Nominate
For You poll people these maybe interesting.
The first is based on those who have already voted.
This is on who is left to vote.

Re: 2020 Presidential Election: Joe Biden vs Whoever the Republicans Nominate
The older group is hardly the most interesting number on those charts.
Re: 2020 Presidential Election: Joe Biden vs Whoever the Republicans Nominate
Yeah can that be right? Military times must be some sort of special group. If Biden wins veterans election is ovah.
Re: 2020 Presidential Election: Joe Biden vs Whoever the Republicans Nominate
Two college counties, Hays (Texas State!) and Denton (UNT), have already surpassed their overall 2016 vote.

But the point is that in his bubble, last cycle he saw no enthusiasm for the Dem candidate, this year he's seeing a lot.Rex wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 9:10 pmWelcome to the world of living in a bubble. I don't actually know what Trump's yard signs look like because I haven't seen one.Square Rob wrote: ↑Fri Oct 23, 2020 8:14 pm FWIW, and it’s entirely subjective I know, but last time around I barely saw a single Hillary sign in these parts. Now Biden/Harris signs outnumber Trump signs by 10/1, at least. Now, we live a block away from the university, but on our street alone it’s 12-0.
And while it’s still likely a lean Tubberville, there a lot of optimism still about Doug Jones. Tubberville’s commercials have been awful, and he’s getting outspent by Jones.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s still likely a Trump and Tubberville sweep in Alabama, but the eyeball test on the ground is entirely different.

Re: 2020 Presidential Election: Joe Biden vs Whoever the Republicans Nominate
It's such a cult, man. I see people flying flags off their trucks and all kinds of creepy bullshit. I've never seen this type of behavior before for an elected official. I do enjoy giving them the jerking off motion when I see them though.

Gotta add in seniors, which isn't getting enough attention, either.cerrano wrote: ↑Sat Oct 24, 2020 12:15 pmMethinks this should be getting more traction. That number likely puts MI in the Hillary column in 2016, and NC and FL are nothing to sneeze at here. Combining this demo change with the white suburban women running away from Trump (figuratively and quite possibly literally) it seems that the polls might be more effectively calibrated this cycle.

Yes, it's good news.tennbengal wrote: ↑Sat Oct 24, 2020 1:32 pm Isn't it good just because it shows that the elusive youth vote is turning out in massive numbers compared to the same timeframe four years ago? It isn't saying anything about other groups - but it is certainly positive as regards getting the youngest voters out in much larger numbers - and those are gonna be heavily Biden voters.

Re: 2020 Presidential Election: Joe Biden vs Whoever the Republicans Nominate
Because the polling and early voting numbers are exactly what you would want for a blue wave.
I said this in Jan. 2017... People are fucking pissed. And frightened of what the Republicans are doing.
The last act of this version of the Republican party will be stealing yet another Supreme Court seat. They'll all be asking "was it worth it?" after the run the Dems are about to have. The demographics of this country don't add up for the GOP. It's pretty simple. They've been on a self-destructing path for over 2 decades now.

Re: 2020 Presidential Election: Joe Biden vs Whoever the Republicans Nominate
I think IF the election is a complete blowout including Biden winning states like Georgia, NC, AZ and even maybe Texas, this huge wave of COVID-19 cases is going to seal Trump's fate. The stock markets are already in freefall because the second wave is hitting Europe and what's really the third wave here is leading to record case totals every day. At this point unless some drastic measures are taken (which won't happen) the numbers being reported by Election Day are going to be very grim indeed. And some of those ninnies who manage to change their minds all of the time will either stay home or swing their final vote to Biden.
