2020 Presidential Election Results & Exit Polls commentary thread

[forsythvoter]

Trump's lead in GA is now +3,635. Clayton, Gwinnett, Forsyth left to go.

Forsyth just reported and Biden netted 159 votes. Trump's lead is now +3,486. Clayton, Gwinnett plus a few hundred left in Cobb to go.

Biden needs about 62% of the mail in votes from these counties to take the lead. He almost certainly will get that given Clayton is a huge chunk of the remaining vote.

Establishment Republican Party will save itself here by cutting Trump loose.

I hope Trump attacks them for it.
The party split needs to happen, I am already salivating.

This is my hope too.  I hope it costs them the two GA senate seats.  We are now seeing that Dems can win Georgia.

The Supreme Court’s latest hearing of a frivolous challenge to the ACA is scheduled for Nov. 10th and presumably when they strike it down they’ll release the decision shortly thereafter to stop the exchanges from working as soon as possible.
I hope like hell I’m wrong, but I see the backlash from this powering Ossoff and Warnock both over the line.

[Inmate Trump]

Trump's going to cry all the way until January.  It's going to be an awful two months.

Not only will we be dealing with covid, he might even find a way to sabotage vaccine development in some way, and he'll be tweeting all caps every day undermining our election process and our country in general.

All the while, many of his supporters will eat it up and some will act on it.

It won't happen. Republicans are atrociously dumb, they don't understand healthcare or taxes, but they aren't stupid. They aren't going to self destruct like that. Mitch will make Trump understand the best way to continue blocking common sense Democratic policies is to put forth a United front.

Why would you think Trump cares about blocking Democratic policies once he's declared the loser?

*rolls out 55 gallon drum of lotion*

It’s gettin’ real.

I just wanna say, as a gay man, I'm looking forward to future updates.

Fellow gays represent!

Atlas baybee! I got here the year I realized I was gay and this was the first place where I really knew a significant amount of LGBT people.

I’m here, I’m gay (albeit with a bi-cycle) and I wouldn’t have it any other way!

At this point, I would like all the forum gays to identify themselves.

Reporting for duty!

So CNN has 253 EC votes for Biden but not including AZ colored in blue in the ticker?

[Rand]

Is Atlas 80% gay?

Is there anything outside of this like provisionals and last minute mail ins?

Is Atlas 80% gay?

If so then who needs Grindr?

The decision almost surely won't be released in time for the runoff. At least I'd be surprised.

Apparantly military and oversea votes

What percentage has he been pulling in thus far?

Upwards of 70%, which is why his 65% in Chatham was “disappointing”, despite it being enough for him.

I believe provisionals have not been counted in at least some counties.

Both provisionals and some overseas military I think

[Meclazine for Israel]

If he wasn't Hitler in the bunker before, he is now.

And the Red Army is knocking on the door.

Hitler died alone. I was talking to someone yesterday who reminded me that the Trump situation is more like this. He said to me:

"One minute, you think you are on top of the world as President, next minute, you are in the back of a hay wagon on your way down to the guillotine."

This is a better analogy as we can clearly see all of those Atlas Dem's in the crowd cheering.

[MATTROSE94]

Obviously I think a lot of his base still believes his allegations of widespread fraud, but I think that even this is a little too desperate for some of his supporters who are starting to become disillusioned with him. The final nail in the coffin is when he'll either concede pathetically or refuse to concede despite it being clear he has lost.

The final nail will probably be GOP leaders/elected officials call on him to concede. If Pat Toomey is acknowledging that Trump is likely to lose, then he likely does not have the votes for a legislative coup in PA, or even the support from state GOP leadership for it to happen. It also means he might not have five SCOTUS votes.

Even if Donald Trump was caught with either a live boy or a dead girl in his bed, Amy Coney Barrett, Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh will still support him in any election disputes.

253 doesn't include Arizona. NYT has the same map, I think.

Machiavellan Republicans like McConnell know that, but there's no way that a narcissistic simpleton like Trump will be receptive to that. if the party no longer needs him, he will take his anger out on them, it doesn't matter how much they've done for him. All that matters is him.

CNN has NV and AZ toss-up on the bottom ticker, but blue on AC’s map

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

What % of mail-ins from Clayton are likely to be for Biden? 93%?

[Non Swing Voter]

Between the bad debate performance, the covid infection, and this, it's been a very rough month for Trump.  Just wait how unhinged he'll be when he's prosecuted in New York.

[Starry Eyed Jagaloon]

Is Atlas 80% gay?

Probably. Discuss with maps.
