What you mean is the process of selecting the write balance gives you the wrong outcome so you poll who you need to get the "right" answer. No. Many states like Nevada, Illinois, Wyoming, Iowa, Wisconsin, etc. don’t do a lot of polling so you’re going off of an outdated poll. https://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/31/upshot/why-this-is-the-iowa-poll-that-everyones-waiting-for.html Edited July 18, 2021 by Governor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamala isn’t going to be the nomination so you guys should get that out of your heads. If she isn't, it's going to be a shitshow for the Dems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has no chance either. But it doesn't matter who they pick instead. The optics of replacing the first not only female but black VP will be really poor.

John Adams Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 4 cases prosecuted in AZ so far. 2 D, 2R. Now we’re cooking with gas. 2016 called and wonders where Trump’s claims that his lawsuits would show that he won the popular vote are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I freaked out when Biden pulled resources from NC. It was ready to flip last time. That could’ve had something to do with how awful Cunningham was as a candidate. I would like to hear an explanation on that some day. Keep an eye on Governor Cooper. If he ran, he would carry that state easily. Arizona I would assume will go back red unless it’s Trump. 37 minutes ago, Buffalo Timmy said: Polling was the discussion and you found one outlier to prove your point. 538 combines all the large polls and showed you were wrong.

Arizona will stay blue given the inanity of the Trumpist party there. I saw a statistic yesterday that about 15.000 registered Republicans have so far left the party due to the nonsense going on there. And NC would have elected a Democratic senator had Cunningham kept it in his pants. It is amusing and somewhat sad to watch the party I used to belong to implode. And equally sad that so many in this country have chosen to be a lap dog to a huckster and con man. Under Trump the former Republican (now Trumpist) party lost the White House, the Senate, and the House. And for some bizarre reason they seem to think the way back to prominence is to double down on a bad bet. Watch the 2022 midterm. While historically the party out of the White House picks up seats, the Trumpist party is going to nominate people that are going to make former mistakes like Mourdoch in Indiana or Akin in Missouri look like choir boys. And while that may animate the Trumpist base, it will also animate Democrats to do what they did in 2020 to be sure they don't have nut cases elected. And moderates and Independents like myself are never going to vote for these kind of Trumpist crazies. The only chance some of these folks will have is if the state legislatures start overthrowing results of valid elections, and if that happens there will be riots that will dwarf anything seen in modern times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I’m not seeing this red wave coming at all. The senate looks pretty safe to me and while everyone is fixated on the seats R’s can take back with gerrymandering, there’s also some seats Dems can actually take in other places. It’s going to be very close. What Trump did in Georgia was absolutely incredible. He lost BOTH of those senate seats all by himself. He won’t be finished until he destroys the entire party.

Biden’s Basement doesn’t like this. Well, here the reality friend. There is no way you and the far right wing Trumpists ever control this country. If the Democrats had run anyone other than Hillary in 2016 Trumpism never would have occurred. And the same for the far left wing kooks. This country is still composed primarily of centrist type people. Conservative on some issues, more liberal on others. So go ahead and continue bowing down to Trump. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting a different result. He’ll lose elections for you again, you can continue to howl at the moon, and the country will move on. Enjoy your fantasy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Trump will run again or even be relevant in 2024 but the Democrats can't allow a group of small ultra-left fringe elements inside the party control the entire national agenda. Because if that continues I suggest this union of 50 States will not hold together for much longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was it you were trying to prove me wrong about again? https://scottrasmussen.com/the-polls-werent-wrong-in-2016-but-the-analysis-of-the-polls-was-horrible/ I live in Georgia, credit to Biden for going for it here, but Republicans lost the state (Pres/Senate) more than Dems won it. The state is purplish, like Arizona, but leans red. Lots of suburban R’s outside Atlanta who were turned off by Trump, voted Biden. I doubt that happens again, given how he’s governed. Then in the Senate Runoffs, Trump’s incessant whining about a stolen election led to an unprecedented amount of reliable rural R voters staying home. Both Perdue and Loeffler won on Election Night, they just didn’t reach the 50% margin needed to avoid runoff. They are also awful candidates… something R’s have been running for a long time now and getting away with due to the make up of the state. Interesting to see how the next election plays out, as black Trump supporting R’s are gaining traction in the state… Vernon Jones looking to primary Governor Kemp and Herschel Walker potentially taking on Warnock. Georgia likely flips back red next election for President, and I don’t think that Warnock retains his seat if R’s get their act together…. but Ossoff looks competent and when his time is up to run again, might be a tougher seat to flip back red.
