Lets see if we can keep this thread a little more civil.

I found this interview very interesting.  A lot of soft balls thrown at Trump, he explained his back pedalling on his more extreme issues as a lot of his claims as opening bids for negotiation purposes.  Which .. whatever .. I still think that those are insincere claims he used to get elected.

He does now come across way more presidential then he did prior to the election.  A lot of his noise, yelling, and rhetoric has been scaled back.

Do respect this one though:

Quote

 

Lesley Stahl: Are you gonna take the salary, the president’s salary?

Donald Trump: Well, I’ve never commented on this, but the answer is no. I think I have to by law take $1, so I’ll take $1 a year. But it’s a -- I don’t even know what it is.

Donald Trump: Do you know what the salary is?

Lesley Stahl: $400,000 you’re giving up.

Donald Trump: No, I’m not gonna take the salary. I’m not taking it.

My thoughts exactly.

 

Even if Biden wins, the USA still loses... since the above is true.

Hickenlooper takes Gardner's Senate seat, that's plus 1 for the Dems

 

 

This why the USA is ******

How so? So few votes counted. 

Blanche and his fainting couch wins

CNN gonna be last to call it a Trump win.

This election wont be decided tonight, Democrats are not going to win this overwhelmingly if they win this at all, questions will be a plenty on how they could lose to a person like Donald Trump again.

There are millions of mail in ballots to be counted. This will not be decided tonight despite what the right will tell you. 

Biden will get enough votes bit will they be counted? Doubt it in the Banana Republic. 

 

Imagine living in a country that can't provide health care for all and messes with elections this way? 

Thankfully I live in a first world country and not down South.

I thought CNN was bad but Yahoo shows Biden 2 x as many votes as Trump.

No.they don't. 

 

They show him leading and likely in states that were always safe. 

4 years ago, the map was the same. 

Biden was always going to win CA, WA and OR. 

Fox is calling AZ for Biden. Big, if true. Map to victory much easier.

Arizona is a big pick up for Biden, he might even win Idaho, makes his path a little easier but he needs Wisconsin and Michigan

The election will be decided by the alt-right Supreme Court and not by actual votes.

Correct.

You would think that 65% plus would be votes for Biden yes/no

You think that Trump wanted a winner declared tonight for funsies? This is exactly what was expected. Republican lead on election night, a pile of absentee ballots from democrats to be counted. The republican party is very good at making sure their votes count and that democrats have a hard time getting their voters out or their votes counted. The entire plan was voter suppression. 

 

What I think though, is that as many conservative judges as there are out there, a very large majority of them still hold the law in high enough esteem to not  play Trumps game. Now obviously 2 of his lackeys on the supreme court will do what they're told, but the rest of them? Not as likely to just give this lunatic what they want. 

 

Polling is not that flawed despite how much republicans will yell about it, and people don't turn out in such numbers to give a controversial candidate another mandate. If it is somehow decided that Trump wins then it is absolutely because of rat-******* by the republican party. 

Mitch McConnell was never in any danger of losing his seat, and Lindsey Graham was never a long shot. Texas was not going blue just like that. It's the fact that some of these races were close that is the story. 

Biden saying he'll transition away from oil & gas, fracking as well as pipelines & then Denocrats wonder why Trump will probably win Texas.

Texas was never flipping, the story is a long term one, and that is that Texas is moving from red to purple.

Obviously that isn't what the Democrats thougfht going into this election.

Yes it is. Once the polling showed a close race people started hoping, but no one seriously thought Texas was in play. 

Like I said, the excitement comes form the fact that Texas is moving away from being a Republican stronghold into something that might be in play.

Well, same thing in FL, MI, OH, Penn & WI then as well. It was a Red Wall 4 years ago. Guess they never really thought they'd win there either. No one really thought those States were in play either.

You are so daft. Those other states are ones that Democrats actually wanted to win. And ones they felt they had a chance to win. 

Like I said, people got excited about close polls, but no one ever seriously thought Texas was going to flip. They hoped, but they didn't count on it like they did some of those other states. Hell even Florida was not a state that Biden put a lot of effort into.
