    My understanding is the comment was all anyone talked about on Spanish language radio the next day. You would have trouble finding a Latino that didn’t hear about it.

    We shall see. I know there’s a lot more “garbage” in PA than there are Puerto Ricans.

      So here’s Nate’s final numbers and it’s a little confusing. They ran the model 80K times and Kamala won 40,012 of them. He points out that means nothing. He could have run it another 80K times and Trump would have winning… no statistical difference between 40,012 and 39,988…

      But the weird thing is that looking at state by state modeling, it has Trump winning PA and the Sunbelt. Game over..

            Interesting. From Nate.

            The Univision poll I referenced earlier, exclusively of Latino voters in Pennsylvania, showed her with a 64-30 lead, much better than she’s polled for most of the year in crosstabs of Hispanic voters and also better than Biden in 2020. And for its climactic closing event at Madison Square Garden, the Trump campaign decided to feature a comedian who called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage”. The Hispanic population in Pennsylvania has an outsized number of Puerto Ricans.

              So if she’s going to pull it off it’ll have to be due to her increased strength with whites generally and with women in particular. Relative to Biden.

              Only non-witches get due process.

                Maybe.

                Initial numbers show her doing better in some places, worse in others

                Maybe we'll wind up 279-279.

                Which is fine by me.

                    Betting markets are now 80% for Trump winning the electoral college. Started the night in the high 50s.

                      Really? I’m seeing very few places where she is outperforming Biden.

                        Just eyeballing things, Trump seems safe to get around 250 w/o real effort. It may be PA that decides this thing.

                          Though DDHQ called Virginia for Harris, there's some question about that being premature.

                            85% for Trump winning now on the betting market I'm following. Kamala better hope lots of dumb money is flowing in.

                                  is there a sense in which that doesn't mean the betting public is gaining faith in a Trump victory? I don't see how the desired outcome of the people moving money around, makes any difference.

                                      Nice to see he didn’t get a majority. (If Nate’s right anyway). So close. I wonder what he’ll attribute it to? lol
