How absolutely DARE you challenge the echo chamber?


This is such lame bullshite. Myself and several others have stated on multiple occasions that we have no idea how this will turn out, others are even more pessimistic. We're just not giant douchebags about it so we don't get 200 downvotes.

Please be more specific than "muh rally attendance" and "muh I lied to pollsters". I know, I know - you talk to your neighbor's wife down the street (who also lives in South Louisiana) and she loves Trump now!


Only one you left out was how somebody drove through a hundred miles of farmland in rural X state and saw a bunch of trump signs.

I agree with you. Trump could’ve walked into re-election but he’s such an a-hole.

Trump will be out.

I look at he rallies for trump. And I, not talking about the ones he speaks at

Just the impromptu rallies across the country. Even in fricking California for godsakes


It just seems crazy that Biden is going to win. And if he does what’s the fricking point of any of this. People aren’t voting for anything. Just so they feel better about god knows what

Love or hate trump he is an amazing political story

I actually hate it when people say they're tired or the chaos and want to return to normal. Do people like this not ask themselves why things are so divisive in this country? It's the swamp that's been trying to get rid of Trump since before he was even elected. It's the media and their ridiculously obvious bias that's been telling everyone how horrible everything is all the while taking everything the President says out of context to the extreme. Most voters don't even know the truth of Russiagate, the impeachment, or the Joe Biden Hunter Biden corruption stories because the media is desperate to get rid of Trump. People that don't want to be manipulated need to vote for Trump. He's had to fight for every victory he's had (all the while nobody will report on it).

But Trump is going to lose tomorrow - possibly in a quasi-landslide.

And, perhaps more relevantly, the Senate is likely to flip as well. Disaster



Of this happens then the country deserves all the shite that results from it.

Every bit of it.

Several were off that way. Even in 2018 4 senators won easily despite being behind the polls. Most notably Rick Scott beating Skeletor in Fl and Hawley beating McCaskill.

Ron Johnson and Trump were down 7+ points in Wisconsin and both won. Virginia was supposed to be 10+ for Hilldawg and she barely carried it.

The polls aren't fixed and continue to be a horrible barometer of elections. The process is a dinosaur and needs to be replaced.

I am not saying Trump will win but you saying "Lightning aint striking twice" is pretty ignorant. Especially when we don't know why they are failing.

For sure, but not just one to one against you. If, say, 25 baws will agree, I will do a ban bet through the inauguration.

And here's my more specific predictions from the other thread:

Here goes:

Turnout will be sky high - that's the thing we know with absolute certainty. I continue to maintain that it's not clear that that is a net positive for Trump this time around.

I think there are ~10 states that legit could go either way. Here's my prediction on those:

NE 2nd: Biden
NV: Biden
WI: Biden
VA: Biden
NH: Biden
MI: Biden
MN: Biden

OH: Trump
FL: Trump
IA: Trump
TX: Trump
ME 2nd: Trump

AZ: probably Trump?
NC: probably Trump?

GA and PA: too gottdamned close to say

Trump would need to win all 4 of those last 4 AND win OH, FL, TX AND IA (no exceptions.) That seems REALLY HARD to me.

WHAT TO HAVE YOUR EYES PEELED FOR TOMORROW NIGHT:

If Sleepy Joe is looking good in GA or FL, then turn out the lights, the race will essentially be over (even if it takes awhile to actually be announced.)

If Biden surprises in TX, it's over right then and there.

If Trump looks good in PA and shows strength in one of those Biden states, he might have a chance - but it will be at least a week before we know.

FINAL PREDICTION: Trump misses by just a state or two, but he missed.

2nd FINAL PREDICTION: The Senate will go whichever way the POTUS goes.

POTUS barely squeaked in with like 70K votes across 3-4 swing states (some of which was due to lucky weather.) Please be more specific than "muh rally attendance" and "muh I lied to pollsters".


I don't know if it is to the same degree as the media but I am sure there are a significant percentage of people involved in the polling industry who have came down with a terminal case of TDS and this is either consciously or subconsciously affecting the way they do polls and the way they analyze them this year. You did not have that in 2016. Yes, you had people who did not like Trump in 2016 but you did not have people who went Godzilla at the mere mention of his name like you have in large swaths of the media today.
