How quickly we forget it was one of the main swing states until 2016. It's still polling slightly Trump, but Biden has polled up a point over the Orange Doofus several times in the last week or two. It's all within margin of error either way.No way Ohio goes.
It was shit for Dems apart from Sherrod Brown in 2018 as well and they won by 9 nationally.How quickly we forget it was one of the main swing states until 2016.

it stayed very red in 2018 even as most of the rest of the country including its neighbours turned blue. and for most of ths cycle its been polling more like texas than like wis/michigan/etc.How quickly we forget it was one of the main swing states until 2016.

Well, I would also argue that it's fairly insane that the US will have a president in his 80s in a few years. Obviously you can get into ageism arguments, but I don't think anyone can deny that this is an extremely demanding job and that one's physical and mental capabilities are not at their top anymore around 80. And then there is also an argument about being in touch with the country that could be had - although that gets trickier. In any case, the presidency is a public office, and you can't put any restrictions on people running for office outside existing voting restrictions (and even that could be subject to debate). SC judge is a job though. Does mandatory retirement exist in the US public service in any shape or form? In Canada, judges have to retire at 75; that seems fair enough to me.Hang on isnt biden 77 ... wont he be 78 in November - wouldnt he actually be in his 80's for the majority of his term if he wins election - and he has the authority to unilaterally launch nukes and kill the planet - yet a judge on a panel cant be in their 80's
This is scary as feck. The US really needs a healthy, modern Conservative to govern for 8 years. One that runs and governs on standard Conservative (Centre-Right) policy.Tweet

dont you have to be 35 to run for president? (but you can vote at 18) so I guess something could be put in place about an upper limit?Well, I would also argue that it's fairly insane that the US will have a president in his 80s in a few years.

This makes for cheerful viewing: https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2020-election-forecast/senate/But to do so, Dems not only need to win the senate, but probably need to have 52 votes (just in case Manchin and Sinema decide to be 'civil' and work with Republicans).
He will, but that is secondary right now.Absolutely wild altruism from Bloomberg, so confident he won’t expect anything in return from a Democrat Presidency.
In theory yes, but its constitutional and amending the constitution is a gigantic pain in the tits. You need a supermajority in BOTH chambers.dont you have to be 35 to run for president? (but you can vote at 18) so I guess something could be put in place about an upper limit?

True. Fecking farmers..it stayed very red in 2018 even as most of the rest of the country including its neighbours turned blue. and for most of ths cycle its been polling more like texas than like wis/michigan/etc.

I dont think it ends... but the next chapter is Trump TV and eventually president Don JnrThis is turning into one of those shows where I have to go online halfway through to make sure the kid/dog doesn't die at the end, just so I know I can keep watching it. I wish I knew how next week is going to turn out so I could enjoy the Trump madness before it ends.
If texas turns blue trumps for sure claiming vote rigging
Don Jr. is a nobody with zero political credibility.I dont think it ends... but the next chapter is Trump TV and eventually president Don Jnr
My 2 cents. The primary problem is the court has amassed too much power in general. Remove that power, and it becomes less of a hugely partisan issue.Term limit and age limit for SC justices aren’t necessary if the process of picking them is apolitical. The thing is when the current system of government was set up, there were a very limited pool of white men qualified enough for office in general, so the whole shebang of president naming nominations and Senate ‘advise and consent’ were all they could come up with anyway, since they all knew each other or ran in overlapping social/professional circles. It got outdated pretty fast as population grew and party politics became dominant.
Having appointments decided by an association of pre-eminent judges, constitutional scholars and lawyers would instantly solve much of the current issue with the court, no party would acquiesce to that though, since they’ve wised up to the Court’s power in shaping public policies.
Haven't the founders paid themselves 10's of millions of dollars already from Democrat donations. The funny things is they are going to destroy future democrats whilst being built on Democrat's money and audience.Tweet

They've played the part they were supposed to, which is to help peel off a few percent of GOP votes from Trump. If Biden wins, they will obviously decouple from the previous goal and start doing establishment Republican work.Haven't the founders paid themselves 10's of millions of dollars already from Democrat donations. The funny things is they are going to destroy future democrats whilst being built on Democrat's money and audience.
None basically. It doesn't even say anything about a SCOTUS judge actually being a judge or having any legal training whatsoever. With a compliant senate, a President could literally nominate and have accepted a 4 year old constitutionally.Anyway, the discussion was about judges. How much of that is properly defined in the US constitution?
They already did.None basically. It doesn't even say anything about a SCOTUS judge actually being a judge or having any legal training whatsoever. With a compliant senate, a President could literally nominate and have accepted a 4 year old.

This might be a massive r/woosh from me, but Gary Johnson was former governor of NM.also how did anyone in new mexico influence anything.
A. I do thisThis is turning into one of those shows where I have to go online halfway through to make sure the kid/dog doesn't die at the end, just so I know I can keep watching it. I wish I knew how next week is going to turn out so I could enjoy the Trump madness before it ends.
Why has it been so low there? They accounted for nearly a quarter of all votes nationally.1. Normally 6% of votes are mail/absentee. This year 60-80%
Biden is an old school Republican.Haven't the founders paid themselves 10's of millions of dollars already from Democrat donations. The funny things is they are going to destroy future democrats whilst being built on Democrat's money and audience.
Wouldn't count on it. That border isn't opening for a while.November 4th....
This might be a massive r/woosh from me, but Gary Johnson was former governor of NM.
Then we have a very dangerous lame duck president and Senate that will do everything they can to feck over as many people as possible. Republicans are political sadists.Oompa Loompa has 1 week left.
America you have a chance to get rid of this tool. DO NOT let this chance go.
Beats me, just move here. As mentioned above, that number is from a newspaper article and not sourced so who knows if it is right.Why has it been so low there? They accounted for nearly a quarter of all votes nationally.
