There are ways of Pelosi tie things to budget like the Stimulus if the Rs keep the Senate, it won't be a 500B package it would be much higher

The Republicans could always reject the budget.

That's why on Dec 11th there is a threat for Fed Govt shutdown, Rs got goated out of no Stimulus deal in exchange for a Fed Gov deal, in Oct, I doubt they would want to follow that path again, with no leverage in stimulus talks for Dec 11th, now that the election is over.

If no Budget deal, Govt shutdown, Trump hasn't said what he is gonna do and sign another CR

Nothing, maybe some centrist judges to replace liberal ones
Lindsey Graham wouldn't even allow Joe Biden to pass judges in the mold of ACB at this point.

Biden can use his bully pulpit to campaign for things that are popular, like a minimum wage increase, health care reform, stimulus, and bash the Senate Republicans for being obstructionist.

That’s his only option.
If he can’t do that he is screwed. Hopefully he prepared for this.

Yeah, but I'm not holding my breath. He's prepared to collect $100,000 nights from bundlers for four years and then go out having lived extremely accomplished life. As to what becomes of the rest of us I doubt he's all that invested.

True, but have you ever been slightly optimistic on...well anything?

Final RCP IA polling average: Trump 47.2%, Biden 45.8% (Trump +1.4%)
Final RCP OH polling average: Trump 47.0%, Biden 46.8% (Trump +0.2%)
Final RCP TX polling average: Trump 47.7%, Biden 46.5% (Trump +1.2%)

If you seriously believe that it's somehow not even within any confine of reasonability to think that Biden could manage to end up winning these states given the (literally above-cited) data we had at the time, given what the presumed fundamentals at play in the race were going into Election Day, & (especially) given what the district-level polling was showing after having successfully alluded to the upset of 4 years ago, then there's definitely somebody being hackishly ridiculous here, but I'm afraid it's not me, my friend.

Polling errors in previous elections (especially in Iowa and Ohio) and 2018 results were much more relevant than any of the "presumed fundamentals" (you need to elaborate on what those fundamentals were). I also think you misinterpreted why district-level polling is useful. District polls are good at telling us about the shifts among certain demographic groups (i.e. college-educated whites in GA-06/IN-05, Cubans in FL-26/FL-27), but they are NOT always accurate and not necessarily more accurate than national/state polls.

Also, this doesn't mean you're a horrible poster in my eyes, and I'm not going to dismiss your future predictions on the basis that you're a 'hack', which seems like what Frenchrepublican is doing, but you have to come to terms with the fact that you ridiculously overestimated the Democrats in both 2018 and 2020 and your predictions weren't really 'reasonable'. You also weren't kind to people who disagreed with your 413 prediction i.e. Bagel.

Not only did your eyes evidently skip over the "GA" in "the GA pollster," & not only did Trafalgar's last GA poll show Trump leading Biden by nearly 5 points (lmao), but this:



... is what the aBsOlUtE gOlD sTaNdArD that is TrafLOLgar had to say about the ultimate election outcome, so please do forgive me if I choose to hold InsiderAdvantage/FOX5 Atlanta in higher regard than the noted beacon of reliability that is the Trafalgar Group.

Yeah, I shouldn't have used Trafalgar as an example, sorry (I don't think it's a good pollster either). Ossoff and Warnock winning is a reasonable prediction imo, but you shouldn't cherry pick polls that support your prediction, especially when the pollster which conducted said poll is new and might've gotten lucky.

Lol that Trafalgar had WI as the last of the big three to flip too.

...Nearly every pollster had WI about the same as or to the left of MI and PA.

Last but not least, LOL at 7sergi9, one of the biggest hacks on this forum, recommending my earlier post.

Thanks for the backup, but I've already curbstomped his ass twice in predictions lol
