    What are the projected breakdowns for the remaining areas of arizona which are reporting votes? It looks like this could be very close, but it's hard to find up to date analysis for it at the moment :)
    According to DDHQ, the only areas that are less than 99% in are La Paz (about 6.6k in at 90-99%) and Apache (about 66k and also 90-99%). La Paz is breaking roughly 70/30 Trump and Apache 65/30 Biden. No idea how accurate those figures are, but an indication anyway.

    What age are you? Eight? Still reading fairy stories?


    Your childish response says more about you than the op. The days of childish insults and snarky remarks have passed, grow up.

    Four Seasons Total Landscaping trending on Twitter, the owners will be forever grateful to the Trump campaign for the publicity.

    Not only did they book a landscape Company instead of the hotel, but it was next door to a sex shop and across the street from the local crematorium. I’m sure there’s a joke there but I can’t see it.

    It seems that Trump tweeted that there would be a lawyers press conference at the Four Seasons Philadelphia at 11:00am. Ten minutes later, that tweet was deleted and a subsequent tweet said the presser would be at the Four Seasons Total Landscaping at 11:30am. Clearly the Four Seasons Hotel either couldn't or wouldn't host the press conference and rather than find another hotel and admit the mistake, they went looking for another 'Four Seasons'. :D

    Looks like the Russian bots are in overdrive today, their new programmed line is
    That’s it! That seals the deal. I’ve been an american citizen for 54 years and in ALL my time of being one I’ve never seen an election this BAD! I’ve had ENOUGH of it! Until you fix this country, I’ll be packing my bags to England where they ACTUALLY know how to run a country!!!

    Just look at the sheer number of bots tweeting this:

    Oh! I actually saw this the other day, right. That makes a lot of sense actually.

    I wonder if he’s going to try to turn electoral college voters as alluded to here?

    I certainly wouldn’t put it past him.

    Would need an awful lot of them. Funny note is that Hillary Clinton is one of the electors for NY. :)

    What’s the best site to keep an eye on count numbers now that it’s not top story on CNN , any major update since yesterday?

    https://alex.github.io/nyt-2020-election-scraper/battleground-state-changes.html

    Or just google "us election results" as Google have a built in tracker to their results page for this search.

    So who does everyone think will be the next president in 2024, Biden will be 82 then, probably too old to run again, Harris as VP would be the natural successor, that's if she hasn't already become president in the next 4 years if anything happens to Biden. Wouldn't be surprised if Trump goes again. Any other candidates people think will run in 2024.
    Someone who seems to have gotten a huge groundswell of support is AOC, 2024 probably a bit early for her, but, definitely see her running in the future.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 56,089 ✭✭✭✭Headshot


    Trump had no dog(s) right? He doesn't seem to be like type capable of any love for human or animals

    I think he loved his daughter a bit to much

    I think Harris will run , as you said probably a little early for AOC ... not sure if republicans will go with trump again but they will probably throw everything at it.
    I think Biden is a definitely a one term president.

    I don't see Trump running again. He'll be 78 himself and I imagine in horrendous shape given the shape he's in now. His version of 78 will be worse than Biden's.

    And then, will he be as exposed? Any continuation of his rhetoric will see him dumped off social media burning his reach. Will the GOP back someone who's lost the popular vote twice and lost an incumbent election? He's also losing any White House protections and will be open to lawsuits that have been growing.

    Of course there are other reasons why he may be worth the nomination, the enormous vote size this time etc.

    But I just don't see it.

    This tweet just cracked me up

    "Some say the world will end in fire/
    Others say at Four Seasons Total Landscaping north of the Tacony-Palmyra bridge, near the porn shop"

    Wouldn't it be the usual primary process though? It is not up to Senators or Congress representatives to decide whether he gets to run for the party. They may be a lot more prepared to handle him next time but if he stays popular enough with the registered GOP voters, he may get the nomination anyway.

    Sort of yes. Its up to the voting delegates who will select based on the primaries. I think there were somewhere around 2000 or 3000 who voted in 2016 and he got just over half the votes. I guess I mean whether the GOP will have a stronger more reliable candidate.

    The personal vote of Trump (and Biden) is overstated too fwiw

    47% of the electorate will alway vote Republican. 47% will vote Democrat. The rest is about getting the people who veer towards your side out

    Trump won in 2016 partly because Clinton energised nobody. Biden partly won because he got an anti Trump vote

    Oh for sure. But you can imagine if a recount resulted in a different result. You'd never hear the end of "all the states I lost should be recounted, here's evidence that I should have won and would win if the corrupt states would recount".

    He hasn't called for a single recount in any states he won though, shows you how much he's trying to steal the election.
