Politics in the US has basically morphed into tribal politics. Been evolving towards this direction for 20-30 years imo with Puddgy Newt. Trump just weaponised it.

Thats why hypocritic cnuts like Collins and Lindsey can still get re-elected.

I don't see how this can be changed anytime soon. Mcturtle will dust off the old Obama playbook and ensure that the Dems will have only 1 term. Then run on the platform that all the problems then are due to the ineptitude of the socialist Dems.
Only hope is that the Senate flips in 2022.
If we're lucky, and I don't care about saying this on another human when that human is a vile scumbag, McConnell will die in the next year or two.

Biden is odds on to win Arizona and is trending towards late wins in GA and PA. Biden can comfortably win even without NV. He only needs two of the four he looks like he'll win.
Right I get PA, but aren't the votes almost counted in GA? GA looks too little too late.

Most of the votes remaining are in heavily populated counties Biden is winning by a 60 point margin. It'll be extremely close, but it's absolutely possible.

I hope Trump accepts this result and allow smooth transition of power. Democratic systems main strength is that we can have transition of power without any bloodshed. Didn't like "not my president" bullshit just after 2016 and hope similar style of protest don't happen from the other side this time. Respect the verdict and don't taunt the other side. It's just a small rant, but I don't like what it has become ( not only in America), people on either side of political spectrum just don't want to accept the result if it doesn't suit them. It's almost as if we want to go back to monarchy system.

With the repubs keeping the senate and gaining some seats in the house Trump's loss won't make any difference. The only good outcome is hopefully less madness and less social unrest.
Politically speaking, between his naps, brainfarts and malaprops, Biden will spend the next four years fighting an ugly war with Cocaine Mitch without getting anything done. Then he will lose the reelection (if he's still around at 81).

You think Biden would run at that age? I think he’s only got one term in him.

This is sweet, but your hope in your first sentence is unfortunately misguided.

Funny my sister was saying the same thing earlier -- and claims that he ain't looking healthy either. Puffy face & hands... and a Dem Gov in KY.

The moons are aligned.

Haha no chance.

Laura Ingraham just said on her show that the people will not let Trump down - they are whipping up the base for war. Newt even compared Trump has to do what Abe Lincoln did and fight

That’s certainly one way to spin it.

There wont be many tears shed. The Kentucky race shows how much of a team sport elections are. Red staters always talking about how great the military is and how we should always support our troops whilst also hating on career politicians and "Washington insiders" then they go and vote for the latter over the former.

Almost none.
Do we know how many votes could be received between now and next Thursday in NC? Presumably not that many but just wondering if there's some kind of info we have that provides a loose indication.
