Why does it matter if Biden wins?   He's going to be a do nothing lame duck with an R Senate and a 6-3 Supreme court.

A Republican Senate may actually help Biden govern in a more moderate way and enact sane Democratic policies supported by the majority of the people.


It will help Biden to not govern at all, meaning that no problems get solved, existing problems fester and tend to get worse, Biden gets blamed for the fact that no problems get solved because low information voters always blame the President for things regardless of whether the President is actually responsible for them, and as a result Dems are more likely to lose future elections.

Is the media coming down hard on Trump declaring victory in PA?

Are they reporting it at all?

Not a word about it on CNN

He's also suing them though which I'm sure will make the news

So I'm guessing Georgia and PA will update their votes sometime in the next decade?

Yes, that has dwindled nearly 100K just in the last hour or two.

It will.

Biden could win all the remaining states, and Trump will claim fake news and incite his supporters to violence.  Rest assured, his voters will react.

Hey, if we want to declare Michigan done with Biden currently up 37,000 votes, I'd be cool with that.

Fox politics editor on right now reinforcing the projection in AZ for Biden.  Says that additional votes from Maricopa and other counties would have to be at least 50% more Trump friendly than what had been tallied before.  Says that it's possible, but Fox will not retract the call.

Why does it matter if Biden wins?   He's going to be a do nothing lame duck with an R Senate and a 6-3 Supreme court.

1) New cabinet

2) Undoing Trump's executive orders

3) No more Trump-appointed judges. Sure he'll still have to go through McConnell, but at least we can stop the bleeding.

4) No more spur-of-the-moment major military decisions or presidential decrees by tweet

5) We can at least start to rebuild our reputation abroad

That's a lot!

Basically translates as Mitch is gonna put Biden in chastity and also make him watch the 6-3 SC do its thing.

Anyone saying this is delusional. Turtle didn't pass a single common sense Democratic policy during the years of Obama/GOP senate. There's no reason this won't continue now.

I can see government shutdowns in our future, as well as failure to pass a respectable budget for any government agency (except our fat and bloated military/VA, of course, that's untouchable.)

Is the NYT site correct? They say Michigan has processed 1.4 mil absentee/mail ballots, but McDonald's site says there was 2.8mil?

its depends on whether Biden can use the bully pulpit effectively. Trump does it well and Obama did it well occasionally
