Nevada or Pennsylvania will put him over the top. Trump is going to court but won't find much love. The state courts will all cite state law and dismiss unless there's some state constitutional provision, but strikes me as a hail mary. His only chance is to get declared unconstitutional votes received after Election Day for Equal Protection Clause or something, but they're going to defer to established precedent I feel.

I'd be in favor of a federal law or constitutional amendment to just set the same standards for everywhere as far as absentee.

Imagine that. Trump packs the SC with constitutionals, only to find they defer to the Constitution.
That shit would burrrnn, bro.

He has no power over them, not even Barrett. They can sit on the Court for life.

If it got to the Supreme Court I think the best Trump would do is 2 out of the 9 ruling in his favor.

Securing the Supreme Court is indeed a very fine Trump achievement.

Trump's certainly shrinking, was plus 11 at one stage, now plus 6 according to NYT with 83% reported

Now +5 at 86%. Gonna be so close.

Call me naive, I know Anon will, but this is what I think would happen.

And of course this assumes it would even get that far.

Rudy's master plan is to litigate everywhere starting with PA where he wants 120K votes just tossed completely out.

Someone should tell Rudy to sit down and focus his energies on his upcoming criminal case.

That would be absolutely perfect for the Democrats; if the GOP turn their back on Trump, they lose the huge voting block that he brought with him.

Yeah, but it would also drop Democrats to 3rd party status in large sections of the country they're uncompetitive in.

I’m sure they’re not worried about that, but they’ll be delighted with the Perot effect Trump will have in Midwest/rust belt/southern states. They’ll finish 3rd in Mississippi or Wyoming, yes. But a split vote on the right between a Trumper and a GOP establishment could hand them senate seats with 40% of the vote in the centre of the country.

Mind you, was in Pennsylvania couple weeks ago, and Philly was 100% Biden, judging by the signs posted in front of the houses/flats and the countryside, to my surprise was 60% Trump 40% Biden.

Rudy taking care of his retirement plan. That is all. Another way of diverting GOP money to his pocket.

Fox News don't seem confident of Trump keeping Pennsylvania.

Trump has sand paper and a bottle top in his pocket. The ball has turned orange on one side from him shining it with his fake tan and the other side has holes in it from him standing on it with his golf spikes.
The umpire has warned him but he keeps chucking bouncers and he goes up for an LBW shout for every ball, even the ones that have been smashed for 6.

See: OAN

Trump is likely gone. So long. It has been hilarious. I look forward to the tweets from Mar-a-Lago, or rather the reactions to them.

But he leaves Trumpism as an enduring political phenomenon, a secure SC and a GOP Senate. Not a bad return. What is needed now is Trumpism sans Trump.

You think? Look at the result of the election. That's all on Trump. Look at how many GOP heavyweights have against Trump, even George Bush, John McCain, Lincoln Project, Never Trumpers etc. The grassroot is with Trump.

They're already doing it. McConnell, among others, is saying they should count every vote.

Yes. Republicans represent ordinary aspirational Americans, many of whom are minorities. They have done well under Trump, and their votes reflect this.

Perhaps they'll stop with the voter suppression legislation, then.

We wait with bated breath.

Trump has the highest ethnic minority vote of any Republican candidate since 1956.

Like I said, we therefore wait to see a rollback of legislation that systematically targets black people from voting in several Republican States, thus releasing more of these guys to vote GOP

Everyone is a winner

I'll send you a copy of what I'm writing about the death of the Indiana Democratic Party and why an opening is there for the Libertarians to replace them, which can easily be extrapolated to half the states.

Biden should've won this election by 10 points according to prominent pollsters. 10% of the electorate with 140 million voters is 14 million. Instead he's going to narrowly win, have the popular vote by a smaller margin than Hillary did, meaning they thought they were going to win by 14 million, but 6 to 6.5 million voters they thought would vote Biden instead came out for Trump, and they don't know why. Biden's going to win but this is a massive f*cking failure for pollsters but also for Democrats that thought they were winning everything from president down to Senate to state legislature to county council. The person that said Biden is Theresa May earlier is spot-on. As a more or less never Trump conservative, this result of Biden wins narrowly but the Democrats are still shit and win nothing down-ballot is my dream scenario if you asked me pre-election.

Mick Mannock wrote: ↑Wed Nov 04, 2020 11:29 pm Trump has the highest ethnic minority vote of any Republican candidate since 1956.

Is the devil in the detail there? There are far more ethnic minorities now than there were in 1956.
