That dude got under their skin in a hurry once he felt confident a republican win was in sight.

Tough to call, but at this point, Trump looks like he's going to sweep all seven swing states. Iowa, Florida, and Texas were never in play. Not sure why people in this thread seemed to think they were.

Forecasting politics is a science, not an art. For people who follow this stuff closely, this election was never going to be close. The numbers just didn't add up for Harris.

Do you not understand the differences between now and 2020? Vastly more people voted by mail in that election, and since then many states have updated their procedures so they count mail-in ballots earlier than in the past. For instance, by the end of election night in 2020, Georgia had only counted a little over 60% of the ballots; this year they're at 93% and still going.

The Rust belt is almost complete on the CNN And Google maps.





Georgia and North Carolina are both at 90% counted and Trump has a greater then 2 point lead in both.


Penn is at about 70% and Trump has a 2.5% vote. If he closes those states out it gives him I think 261 and then he only needs 1 of Min, Wi or Michigan to hit 270.


I think a turnaround is tough

Whether it was over doing it with the celebrities, Or Kamala's struggles in interview, or a authenticity issue.


I mean its not like they have a slot on the ballet that asks why didn't you vote for the other guy.
People love to be entertained by celebrities, movie stars and singers and what not, but they do very little to move the needle. The vast majority of people don't care about what they actually have to say and just want them to perform.

I mean the first four years ####ing sucked. So I would assume the next four will be just as bad. The guy is a protectionist, vindictive, petty sack of ####.

I think we know the answer to this already, unfortunately. Even Sofa Vance is hardcore against helping Ukraine.

I kind of agree, and just my 2 cents. But when you talk about going after Billionaires, and then roll Billionaires onto the stage I don't think it helps your cause much.

Whereas a lot of folks would have voted blue because of Trump, I'm sure things worked the other direction too.

Hopefully nobody here is so blind as to recognize both parties had clowns representing them.
Ok so what is so unappealing about Harris to the average American voter? Please tell me it isn't that she's a woman.

Looks like Florida's abortion ban remains, the ballot initiative fell 3% short of the required 60%.
