Biden’s at 50 in Wisconsin too. I expect Trump to win that state.
It's the sixth version of The Swamp. What could possibly go wrong?

Yeah I think 50 is better than 43.tennbengal wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 10:25 pm50 seems good?Steve of phpBB wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 10:09 pm Biden’s at 50 in Wisconsin too. I expect Trump to win that state.
Seriously? The more content they create, the more likely they are to do something to fuck up their lead. The GOP is waiting for a major gaffe or fuckup to jump all over. Get some young idiots on the platform at 4:00 am saying some stupid shit, and suddenly that is an official statement from the Biden campaign. Not to mention, who the fuck wants more content from the DNC? I follow politics closer than probably 90-95% of the population, and I've watched maybe a total of 30 minutes of this pointless dog and pony show. The less I see, the easier it is to vote for Biden without having to think about who and what I am actually voting for. I'll focus on Trump when I vote. I did love Michelle Obama's speech, though. She fucking crushed it. And the bigger point, the more content you put out, you are just watering down the important stuff you actually want people to see.degenerasian wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 4:21 pm Another dumb question. Since this convention is virtual, why is it being limited to the same nightly schedule as an in-person convention? This thing should be on 24/7 with young people dancing and music and pride parades and speeches from volunteers and community leaders. This should be 24/7 Jerry Lewis telethon style.
Overtime, including multipliers for short time off the clock and meal penalties, really mucks up your budget.brian wrote: ↑Wed Aug 19, 2020 5:21 pmMost of the people involved in the production aren't in the DNC, they're just hired by the DNC. They might happen to be OK working for them like DSafe's company presumably is, but it's still just a job so no, no one's gonna work an extra few hours on an already 12-16 hour day because Trump.
Great first date weeding question.Nonlinear FC wrote: ↑Thu Aug 20, 2020 3:00 pm As someone who has worked and attended conventions, the notion of actually making them somehow longer is hilarious.
The best thing they could've done is start the heavy hitter shit at 9pm ET and just go for a tight 60 each night. Very few people are going to sit through this shit on the east coast going up til midnight or whatever. But ppl in the other time zones are (mostly) able to tune in at a slightly earlier time.
That's really my beef with it. And it's not a big deal. You're either the type of person that chooses to watch a convention over Netflix or you're not.
What are the 261 states? are any of them at risk?psunate77 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2020 9:45 am So Susan Rice said yesterday that she is 100% sure Russia is going to rig the election. It really got me thinking is she right or is she trying to distract that they think Biden is going to lose out right.
ABC/CNN had Biden at 261 EV and Trump at like 130 or 140 as of what they know now. Biden needs 9 votes to win with Arizona, Texas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Iowa, Ohio, Wisky, and Michigan still up for grabs. But as the guy who name escapes me on MSNBC said, Biden may not win one of those states and that could be very very likely.
The states that counted for Biden had him I think with a 5+ point lead, PA was one of them. I am not sure PA is a clear Biden win. Clinton was up by 9 points at this time in 2016 and lost. Trump was in Scranton yesterday and had a medium size crowd. One thing I am worried about, Biden isn't scheduling any rallies due to covid and Trump has them scheduled in battle ground states.degenerasian wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2020 11:27 amWhat are the 261 states? are any of them at risk?psunate77 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2020 9:45 am So Susan Rice said yesterday that she is 100% sure Russia is going to rig the election.

In 2016, Trump campaigned like a madman in the final weeks. Now with mail-in voting he is going earlier. Say what you want about Trump, he has tremendous energy.psunate77 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2020 12:02 pmThe states that counted for Biden had him I think with a 5+ point lead, PA was one of them.

Oh for fuckssake. Anytime he tries to go out, it's a disaster of late. His crowds are small, and they are unmasked so he is probably killing them. Get the fuck off of stormfront and fox.degenerasian wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2020 12:46 pmsure whatever is it, he's out there.L-Jam3 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2020 12:37 pmFIFYdegenerasian wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2020 12:30 pm

Not really but I'm worried like psunate77 is that Trump will do a lot of rallies. I hope they fail but who knows.P.D.X. wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2020 1:38 pmdo you really believe thatdegenerasian wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2020 12:30 pm Say what you want about Trump, he has tremendous energy.

It amuses me greatly that Noel Casler has over 200K followers, mostly on the back of this (I've known him for years through work).L-Jam3 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2020 12:37 pmFIFYdegenerasian wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2020 12:30 pm

So, I see the Maga hat kid has a speaking slot at the Republican convention. What can he add to the show? That Dems on social media and the Washington Post were mean to him after he acted like a prick? What can he say to help Trump or hurt Biden? Guess we’ll see.
Considering the kid got absolutely paid in settlements, he can reinforce that the media is truly anti-conservative and certainly fake news.sancarlos wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2020 7:22 pmSo, I see the Maga hat kid has a speaking slot at the Republican convention.

He’s only getting some small fraction of that even if the big number is what got reported. I’d have to find the article but it isn’t going to be anywhere near what they publicized.Johnnie wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2020 9:20 pmConsidering the kid got absolutely paid in settlements, he can reinforce that the media is truly anti-conservative and certainly fake news.sancarlos wrote: ↑Fri Aug 21, 2020 7:22 pmSo, I see the Maga hat kid has a speaking slot at the Republican convention.

Kid probably has to adherer to a non-disclosure agreement, so he (his parents) will have to be veeeerrrrry careful about what he does.
