I sincerely hope there is enough sensible people surrounding the utter stupidity of Donald Trump to make things as smooth and peaceful of a transition as possible.

Silver needs to go away forever and stop talking about politics. He is a freaking joke.

And you are...?

My prediction was 10000x closer to the result than Silver. He said Trump would lose Florida by 2 and he won by 4. He said Ohio was a tie and Trump won by 8. Silver can shut the f*** up

Trump is a pathetic president who lost the popular vote in his first election, and is only the fourth US President in history to lose re-election.

He accomplished almost nothing, had an absolute inept administration with multiple resignations, convictions, and scandals.

He'll go down as the most pathetic president we've ever had.

Fourth President in modern history. Plenty of nineteenth-century Presidents got proto-Hoovered.

No, the 11th

[Inmate Trump]

If Trump does not concede, he's cementing his position as the last of the absolute worst president in US history.

I thought he was already there, but I'm highly biased.

I think by not conceding and not taking part in a peaceful transition...and by inciting violence and riots...he is cementing his place as absolute worst by all future historians.

Ironically, a freaking joke.

Tell us what you see (if anything).
Anyone else watching Fox, please report.

Wikipedia already changed for Biden as President-elect.

Wikipedia already changed for Biden as President-elect.

I suspect that was an over-zealous editor and the powers that be will change it back soon. Much like when there was a death toll counter in the infobox for Trump's Tulsa rally.

Thus far, whoever was on Fox and Friends did extreme mental gymnastics of why the vote should be counted in AZ and not in other states. While the other host wanted to wish her daughter happy birthday, but got cut off. Another reporter saying the President has made baseless claims.

Imagine Trump staring unblinking at Biden's page and under his breathing admitting it's over.

Trump has told people he has no plans to concede.
From CNN's Kaitlan Collins

In conversations with allies in recent days, President Trump has said he has no intention to concede the election to Joe Biden, even if his path to a second term in office is effectively blocked by losses in places like Georgia and Pennsylvania.

Aides, including his chief of staff Mark Meadows, have not attempted to bring Trump to terms of what’s happening and have instead fed his baseless claim that the election is being stolen from him.

Trump’s allies have grown concerned that someone is going to have to reckon with the President that his time in office is potentially coming to an end, though they have not decided who should be the one to do it. There has been talk of potentially Jared Kushner or Ivanka Trump doing so, sources said.

They called us madmen for saying "Blue Texas."

Turns out we were geniuses for saying "Blue Georgia!"

Those TX left of GA takes were lol.

@Millenial Moderate

Normal performance with Latinos would’ve made it close.

I didn’t necessarily say that Texas would finish left of Georgia. But to me it was more flexible than Georgia. So even though Georgia might come close within a point or two, it’s rigid and refuses to go that extra point or two. While I felt like with good numbers amongst Latinos Texas could be anywhere from +9 GOP to
+3 DEM

Trump becomes the fourth president to never win the PV, after JQ Adams, Hayes, and B Harrison
