His justification isn’t terribly flawed but there is a bit of wishful thinking here and he may be right. I am hopeful he is wrong but I have never really counted Nevada as a win because of automatic voter registration. It really doesn’t matter if Trump wins Nevada he still has to win one of three Midwestern states to win assuming he wins NC and Georgia

What scares me is a lot of the reason for optimism for Trump is the republican gain in voter registration. I worry a lot of those are democrats that registered as republicans to vote for Hailey.

Ya it's a side exercise. Most likely won't decide anything in the EC and now we can go back to trying to figure out if it means anything regarding the states that do matter.

I think in this instance he is essentially claiming there’s some hidden vote that’s gonna barely put democrats over the finish line.




Something like this?




It's called cheating

I have never allowed myself to believe the hype about Nevada going red. The Dems routinely win that state.

His justification is cheating. To most rational people that is pretty flawed.

It's called the "cheat vote" that they have to manufacture in the "weeks" that it takes to count the votes. These people need to be publicly executed. Only way to stop this shite.

Nevada has a very low college educated % and has been one of the hardest hit states by inflation. It's going for Trump!

He's doing this to keep his team happy. They'll tear him apart if he picks Trump. He knows he's gonna be wrong.

Previous predictions he would put up spreadsheets and break down the numbers.

He didn't do that this time. He just made up final % numbers of of thin air.

He'd rather stay in the good graces of lefties than be correct. Probably a good business decision.

Damn, not good. Ralston is legit with NV info. Let's hope he gets this one wrong

He is but he also has the worst case of TDS imaginable. He has picked against Democrats in the past but none of them had his level of hatred that he does for Trump.

With NV allowing mail-in votes to be received until Friday - and with everyone being automatically sent mail-in ballots, Harris probably will win NV because they can manufacture whatever votes they need on Wednesday but he isn't picking her to win because of mail-in votes. It's because it would make him physically sick to predict a Trump win.

That’s a whole lotta speculative analysis based on qualitative factors just to somehow find a mere 3-5k vote victory for democrats when they won by 40k last time.

He can't SAY he's picking her because of mail-in votes, but that's why he did. Clark County will know on Wednesday morning exactly how many more ballots they need to get in by Friday and they will 100% find them.

this is what my concern would be. drum up enough votes in philadelphia and all of a sudden, NV decides the election when it should be going to trump easily

I don't really think highly of Baris, but seems like Ralston is basically calling it a hunch himself

I should have done the mic drop in 2022.

Picking the winners in the top two races, both of which were agonizingly close, should have been the swan song, the ride off into the sunset on my oracular career. But, no, I couldn’t just rest on the laurels of correctly choosing Gov. Joe Lombardo (1.5 percent win) and Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (under 1 percent win).

So here we go again.

I usually start these prediction columns by reminding you of my historical brilliance – Harry Reid in 2010, Dean Heller in 2012, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden winning in 2016 and 2020, respectively – as if that might ward off the I-told-you-so mafia in Muskland and the real world if I am wrong. Fool’s errand, right?

@Itweetinmypajamas and @Ihaveendlessmemestoposttomockyou are not the target audience, of course. In this polarized world we live in, the mindless vitriol gets worse, it becomes impossible to penetrate the silos of The Validation Culture.


Check out this mountain of salt he’s hedging with

What a bitter and pathetic hack
