How does a guy with a name like Wolf Blitzer end up being so bland? His name sounds like an Arnold Schwarzenegger character from the '80s.

It really does baffle me how nearly half of america is still voting for Trump. His whole term has been a car crash, yet people are still sticking by him.

I think they're the same old americans. It's just the rest of the world finally knows the real Americans behind the mask

Trump has single handedly shown the world what's America's all about

It was MSNBC reporting it. For the whole state.

NYT live feed also matches up. 95% with 4.882M votes counted.
My number is straight from local reporter getting it from Secretary of State.


NYT feed also often lag in % for a while, Fox for instance is reporting 100%.

It’s 100k left with 33k difference. If Biden continues to win 72-27 like he’s doing atm he will end up winning with about 9k.

Ok listen. Imagine you log into you phone to set your alarm and safari with red cafe is the last thing you used so it reloads. Now imagine the first thing you see is a hurtful red colored whirlybird mocking your beloved Hamms beer. Now imagine the single tear rolling down you cheek. That, my dear friends, is me.
You're a single tear rolling down @Redplane's cheek? I don't judge, but colour me surprised.

I’ve lived out here for 17 years, and even though I’ve done so in populous urban areas, I can tell you that the average American is (a) strikingly ignorant and (b) obsessed with short term, single issue voting and an ‘every man for himself’ mentality. Intelligence isn’t revered or prized here by any significant majority. It is sneered at if anything.

Being an articulate candidate with solid policies that will benefit the country for years to come, is a shit election strategy here. Everything is bombastic sound bites, and the simpler the better.

Its fecking depressing, let me tell you.

So if Trump wins Nevada then he wins... why the optimism for Biden? I don't get it.
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.

We thinking Arizona is safe for Biden? Can’t help but be concerned.

Biden does look very good in Pennsylvania based on current trends. .

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.
