If Republicans take the Senate and the Houses expect retaliation and even Impeachment for like Article 25 or something, being mentally unfit and without any Dems to stop them they'll be more dangerous than a Trump presidency
Republicans already have the Senate and the Senate cannot impeach nor can it invoke the 25th. Dems will still control the House.

I don't want to get carried away yet but you get a sense from the tweets from Trump and fellow republicans that it's not going well for them. Long may it continue.

YESHHHHH, We'll GOOO for it.
Yep. Was just weirded out every time seeing how you can see exactly where water comes into Phoenix and then suddenly straight lines and.. SAND. You in AZ or something?
I'm in India now, but I've lived in NJ, CT, IL and FL. I visited a lot of national parks during my time in US and in one glorious 2016 year, I took a 2 month trip across Utah, Nevada and California. When to all places and I went back to Utah and Nevada multiple times. One of my closest friend lives in Henderson, NV and works for MGM Casino. Me and my wife used to stay at her place and visit the national parks nearby multiple times. Joshua tree, Grand Canyon, Death Valley, Zion, Antelope Canyon, Page, Bryce Canyon, Arches and Badlands are all drive-able from Las Vegas.

Ah nice- yeah doing the drive to Bryce and Death Valley etc is def still high on my agenda. May have to get some more specifics from you on tips it sounds like! Somehow ive always managed to avoid playing tourist in that part of the country.

Sorry, Baden-Württemberg. I'm just used to calling those parts Swabia because of family - long story. The point stands though.
Bavaria is actually a good example, I'd say it's the closest we have to the concept of states in the US. Europeans disregard the individual characteristics, histories and mentalities different states have though and their sizes when comparing it to European "states". And at least Michigan is/was more important than a good handful of European countries in the past century too, never mind states of which there is none to compare.

I have given up hope on PA, 500K is too far ahead, I think. But hopefully, he may not need it.

What's interesting about MI - and slightly worrying-is that the Rs message about Whitmer seems to have arrived. It certainly isnt an endorsement of her. Assassination plot and pulling her before the supreme court were all a-ok I guess.

This sort of identity politics idiocy is what alienates people. Are you saying the riots and looting helped Biden?

It was idiotic to leave the initiative to Trump, who could portray himself as the law and order candidate.

Biden should have said we abhorr racism but at the same time we won't stand for violence and lawlessness. Not in Portland, not in Seattle, not in New York, not anywhere.

That message didn't come across.
No, I'm saying you putting "mostly peaceful" in quotes communicated very clearly that you either believe that they were mostly NOT peaceful or that they were inherently not peaceful by their nature. Both statements are bullshit as time and time again the people arrested for starting or committing the violence were external actors either profiteering from the protests or deliberately trying to undermine them by committing acts of violence. Also, asking your local police force to fecking not kill you is not identity politics.

Sen. John McCain was very popular there. Folks didn't like Trump saying he wasn't a war hero 'cos he got captured, nor his other attacks on McCain
That has been overstated here, methinks. It’s more due to the increasing urbanization via booming job markets in Arizona, same as Texas’ long-term trend thanks to the Texas Triangle.

If Biden keeps all the ones he's currently up in he wont need PA, no.
Would be much clearer and convincing if he also gets PA and GA though. The less Trump has to cling onto, the better.

Trump would have lost, after one term, against a nearly 80 year old half senile man that no one really liked. That despite competing in an electoral system that basically give Republicans the red carpet to the white House. In the previous elections trump lost the popular vote against one of the most hated politician in the US. So how on earth had this formula worked?

The republicans were known for Reagan, his financial revolution and the proud capitalistic and patriotic face he gave the US. Now they are known for allowing the orange clown to destroy the US reputation among the very allies the republicans had dragged into so many wars. The US of today is weaker, its laughed at and its believed to be in Putin's pockets. The Republican establishment who hated Trump will now come out and claim their party back
Yes. But what trump achieved in one terms dwarfs what reagan does.

But we shall see. Interesting times ahead

270 Biden to 268 Trump now looks like it could well happen as a few were predicting. Basically Brexit US style.

There are also more Americans of voting age than in any other election in U.S history, so it's not that impressive.
This election has both the highest for one candidate and the third highest for the other.

That's a terrible third party performance if you ask me.

Last night there were 800 pages, in this thread, in almost all instances Admin run & controlled. Then, one by one, the pages started to magically increase as surprise reply dumps were counted. VERY STRANGE, and the “pollsters” got it completely & historically wrong!
