2020 Elections

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

There should be only one goal this election year: Dump Trump
:clap: :clap:
To mis-paraphrase Vince Lomardi: Dumping Trump isn't the most important thing - it's the only thing.

Crap, I just got a pro-Trump robocall from the NC Repugs. It's gonna be a long election season, 171 days to go.

Oh, I'm sure it will be constant for you. Fortunately, Trump's "Death Star" campaign has apparently deemed California a cause lost from the start, and we're getting no ads at all.

OBAMAGATE! It's what's for dinner. And it's what the childish moron has as his current tweet. Looks like Obamagate is the new mantra for the cult of lies and ignorance. Hilarious.

But it's May!!!! I just called and left a message telling them to never do it again or I would vote against all Repugs in Nov. We'll see. I'm sure I'll get the down ballot calls still, but hopefully not until the Fall.

The call I got was about his "closing" (not really) the country to China. They're probably trying to stop the bleeding from his CV-19 failure. If they only knew about:

Maybe I'll go out in public, get sick and die.

I've seen two in the past ten days or so. Pretty much what I expected....lying, whining, bragging, and delusional nonsense.

Don't you people have mute buttons?
It's pretty satisfying if you've got voice control. Trump or some flunky comes on and you can just say "mute" and zap, they shut up. I'm looking for a setting option that you can actually use "shut up" as the command for mute. :lol:

"Fuck off" would be a good one, too. I usually surf during ads, but I was at the computer and only semi paying attention to the TV until I realized the May horror that had come on.

New polls show trouble for Trump and Republicans in GOP strongholds

If Arizona, Georgia or Texas is still in play in the Fall, Biden has won and the Senate is blue.

Trump tells Fox News to 'fire their Fake Pollster' after network reports him 8 points behind Biden

… According to the latest Fox News poll released Thursday, Biden leads Trump 48 percent to 40 percent among registered voters. The same survey last month had Biden and Trump tied at 42 percent. The poll also found that more voters trust Biden (46 percent) than Trump (37 percent) to handle the coronavirus.

In a follow-up tweet, Trump wondered why his off-and-on favorite cable news network did not highlight polls that were more favorable for him, and mused about missing the network’s former president, the late Roger Ailes….

Thanks.
Dark = Strongly

Hooray for the Barely Bidens: NC, FL, GA, MN & NV

A different website, not as positive but still good:
Biden 232, PINO 204, Tossup (NC, FL, PA, etc.) 102

LMAO! What wet dream fantasy makes Texas a barely Trump state and Georgia a barely Biden state? Trump will win each state by 20 points or more. You can lock that in. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump won PA by greater than 5 points too. I do get the prediction for it to go Biden. That is at least reasonable. But TX and GA...huh uh. Ain't happening.

I doubt that either Texas or Georgia will turn blue this year, but every poll by every source shows it way closer than the rose-tint view PP has. I also think you can probably paint Michigan a darker blue after Trump's latest pillaging of the state and trashing of Ford, arguably Michigan's "state company" (like "state flower", etc., not state-owned). So far, Trump has just kept on making things worse for the country and for his re-election chances. Lots can happen in 5 and a half months, but it would be interesting for a fan such as PP to let us know what they expect Trump to do differently to stem or reverse the tide.

Bad link. Here:
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epoll ... -6818.html

As you say, the CON RCP Texas Average is just Trump +2.5.

Or, delusional slacker PP could have looked at the link I provided above for the map:
https://electoral-vote.com/
Texas: Trump +4
Georgia: Biden +1

Trumpaloons should be nervous, especially when you look at past Texas results.
Texas: Trump vs. Biden
2016: Trump +9.0 | 2012: Romney +15.8 | 2008: McCain +11.8

Even better, look at all the other swing state numbers, if they hold...huuuuge blowout.

Florida: Trump vs. Biden
2016: Trump +1.2 | 2012: Obama +0.9 | 2008: Obama +2.8

National | Wisconsin | Florida | Michigan | Pennsylvania | North Carolina | Arizona | Minnesota

Texas and Georgia won't even be close. Any poll that shows other wise is a joke. Any one that believes they are is delusional.

that would be the largest electoral college win since forever.
Trump: “We had the safest border in the history of our country - or at least recorded history. I guess maybe a thousand years ago it was even better.”
