All purpose news and politics thread part VI: This Is Not The Time For Posing

[C_Miller]

Any Word on if The Gop is keeping the Senate or is too close to call right now?

Too close to call. But It's going to be tough.

[BeastieRunner]

Current statistical predictions show Trump has a 60% chance to surpass Clinton's 2016 PV total ... he now has a 4M vote lead over Biden.

This is getting bad folks.

The numbers just don’t bare that out. In 2016 he didn’t win by some historic margin. He lost your popular vote. He was and is extremely vulnerable. You just need someone Democrat’s are excited about and don’t feel an obligation too.

You could also try running a unity ticket with such a person...

Maybe someone who has done well during your primary...

Too close to call.

Also, exit polls show that white women and Latinx men voted for Trump more than non-college white men.

Trump grew his base.

That being said, new WI and OH counties are coming in strong Biden.

There is going to be a lot of close calls this election ...

Hmmmmm...ya know, California, Hawaii, Washington, and Oregon's votes aren't in. Got a feeling there's a lot of votes there.

Yup. Trump is doing better then expected

There is no perfect candidate and this isn't solely about Democrats. Trump is vulnerable but also he's incredibly difficult to kick out the White House.

NC is going Trump at the end and will go to court. I predict Biden will concede before it goes to court.

PA will go to court and is still going Trump. Same as above.

Michigan is safe and so is WI.

Biden is not winning folks. Either vote.

BUT! Texas is now a battleground state and the House and Congress look to be going Blue, or at least even in the Senate.

Take a breather from the doomsaying. Or just take a breather. If you're so convinced it's over, take the rest of the night off. You sound like you might need it.

[Nyssane]

Win or lose, the Dems learned tonight that the Latinx vote is diverse and you can't just expect people to vote for you without doing anything for them.

They are not a monolithic voting bloc.

Or learn that going completely against you is better than doing nothing for you at all. Seriously, if you're latinx and vote for Trump, you're a goddamn idiot.

Yeah, the popular vote is going to swing huge in Biden’s favor when you bring in those states.

I'm good man.

This is part of my job.

I quite enjoy election season.

It's like the Super Bowl for me.

Sadly, I'll be fine whoever wins. Not the case for a lot of people. :/

When everyone had to drop out of the nomination process for your nominee to actually win the nomination?

You ain't even close to "Perfect..."

[numberthirty]

Joy Reid is talking about how you have to look at the party building that happened...

Yeah. That's great.

Maybe if your primary winner is extremely strong and builds a primary strategy and firewall in states that you have 0% chance of winning it’s not a good idea. But thank god for Jim Clyburn gave him momentum in SC before Super Tuesday and then he had a big rally in Texas where he just got whupped tonight. It really worked out.
