He lost white men and white non-college men.

Gained in all other demos.

Damn, I thought I was surprised about the Latino situation. An actual increase with black men and women astounds me.

I saw he lost White men. I was just shocked that he gained some of the black vote.

Fos News is calling Florida for Trump.

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.

Don't seriously don't. That will just breed more conflict.

Politely, this thread has never really had it's finger on the pulse of John or Jane Public.

Socialism killed the Cuban votes. The Crime Bill hurt the black vote. Don’t know what the hell happened with women.


Anyways praying for Biden but....... Trump already totally overperformed even if he loses

A lot of the early voting hasn’t been counted in those states guys. This is far from over.

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.

Biden's not "my" primary candidate, that'd be Warren - Biden just was able to win the primaries as all winners do. Clyburn could have given that to Bernie, had Bernie bothered to reach out and make him an ally instead Biden swooped in because he knew Clyburn was a valuable ally to get. And that's not getting into the numerous tone deaf moves Bernie made which turned people off, like the Black Democrats in the South. It did work out, that's why Biden became the nominee, he knew his strategy relied on more than gaining 30% ceiling of the electorate.

My bullpen is pointing out that OH, PA, & Wi has a large amount of mail-in votes uncounted from largely urban and blue counties. That reverse 2016 is in the cards as a possibility. Also, WI won't count again till 6AM ET, while PA and OH said they won't be done till Friday.

Fun times ahead!

That would probably be the faction who EXPECT a politician to do something for them because they are black or folks fed up with being taken for granted or folks who FEAR that tax increase for those who make a certain amount or the folks fed up with BLM.

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. :/

Alright. I trust ya.

I’m in the same boat. It doesn’t really change my day to day, Covid aside, but I feel for the people it will harm. And the harm it will do to America as a country, and our standing in the world. If Trump wins. He hasn’t yet.

[GindyPosts]

Yeah, I just looked it up. There's no way I can move to Canada. They would deny my brother citizenship due to disability, and I'm not going to separate from him.

For my sanity, Biden better win this damn election.

I've seen commentary from Rachel Bitecofer who's noted Trump has underperformed in every county in the three states he narrowly won in 2016 here.

And that all of the votes coming in are early ballot ones that won't be finished counting for hours, if not until tomorrow.

It does not look like Trump has won any of these states. Hell, he's fighting to hang onto TX and NC, and AZ looks overwhelmingly like it's flipping blue.


You're trying to call a football game in the early third quarter right now. Be cool.

That is the thing. He has not yet. I am not doom and gloom just yet.
