(too lazy to look)

If Trump wins PA and AZ, while losing MI, WI what happens?

(assuming he holds GA and NC)

I want Biden to win. I want him to win, and I want the democrat party to enact every single bit of their agenda. I want the US to become a Socialist nation. I want every fucking dollar of free shit I can get. Screw this nation. Let it fall.

Dude, they don't have the Senate. Their agenda will be significantly slowed down. And look how close the states have been. I think it really matters how many Trump voters there have been, especially in the midst of the greatest media influence campaign in American history.

Biden may be president, but charges will still be brought up against "nazi"-punchers.

I know all that. But it's time the Left got what they've been wanting for so long.

This nation no longer deserves to survive.

Mik · 4 Nov 2020, 23:52

Give it a rest. There is no mandate to pursue that agenda - far from it. If they try they will get slaughtered in 2022.

This was pretty much a slaughter as it is. Blue were supposed to pick up 15 seats in the House and 4 in the Senate. They picked up a net of 1 in the Senate and are losing seats in the House. There's talk of Pelosi not being Speaker. Biden is squeeking by - and I disagree that Trump will be a non-entity as a review of his career suggests, he never gives up. It is not part of his nature.

@George-K

The problem with Shapiro’s PA information is it doesn’t indicate Trump has a chance, it indicates Trump has a lock. Seems like if that were true some of the news organizations would have figured it out already.

I think when this is all over, the TNCR POTD: Election Edition should be Aqua's meme comparing waiting out the results to the whole country waiting for the results of an STD test.

With the 24 hour news cycle? He will be a fixture talking head. For most people the presidency is the pinnacle of their career. He will not see it that way at all.

When Rush dies (probably within the next year) he'll pick up the mantle.

Mik · wrote on 5 Nov 2020, 00:34

I don’t think he can. He’s just not as verbally skilled or extemporaneous. Limbaugh is essentially thinking out loud a lot of the time. Trump is not as skilled at that.

I dunno. Trump doesn't have much depth. He says the same thing again and again in simple terms - which is a great for a politician. Rush has to actually think through the events of the day and provide analysis.

Trump does better reacting with a gravity of an office around him - and having all the Trump whisperers around him explaining what he actually means in terms of specifics.

I do think he has some sort of successful future in media - I don't think it's based on a current archetype though.

Again, he made plans before the last election which he didn't expect to win. I think he follows through with and expands the plan. He wants to do battle with the MSM and his detractors. I think he has the potential to be more than Rush - or Bernie or the Grateful Dead. AND after bashing Biden and the Dems for a couple of years, he can announce his campaign to run again. He's not a fader. If you didn't watch Frontline, you should. He's not a well adjusted human being, more of a cyborg.

You guys are probably right.

~~But, wouldn't it be fun to hear him rant for a couple of hours a day.~~

Never mind.

Who do you think are "the Left" and what do you think they have been wanting for so long?
