If Trump wins, what is his sentence?

[Horace]

It's an unestablished precedent, whether a president can pardon himself. I believe Roberts mentioned that the court has "luckily" never faced a need to make that decision.

Moot question in this particular case - this is a state charge.

I can’t imagine his sentence would ever include jail time.

But maybe the judge could craft a suicide order under the guise of community service?

I can.

TDS is a strong emotion.

And a useful diversionary tool.

Just imagine how bad it would have been if Donald had performed well in the debate…

Where’s that from? Nate has Harris ahead in PA, WI, MI, and NV.

With the exception of four states, the very definition of "coastal elites".

Yeah, he updated the models 15 minutes after I posted. I think it’s Kamala 50, Trump 47, and a 3% chance of a split?

[jon-nyc]

That would put the electoral count in the blue.

Though I think his model assumes some latent level of redward shift over time so maybe not. When he first started posting projections favoring Trump he hinted that if the polls stay the same the model becomes more blue friendly.

PA is basically a coin toss according to the polls, and all the battlegrounds are within the
margin of error. Trump beat the margin of error two elections in a row.

[Horace]

That checks out. Trump is marginal, and also an error.

I went ahead and subscribed for two months.

There's a lot of coast in Illinois, just no elites.

You should see Michigan.

The comparison between Michigan and its neighbour Ontario makes me question whether 'An armed society is a polite society' isn't over-stating things a little.

Have you ever visited Rhode Island?

Refusing to sleep with blood relatives when there's an R in the month doesn't make one an elite.
