2020 Presidential Election Results & Exit Polls commentary thread

[Badger]

has anyone explained why they called it?

Because Biden's lead is growing exponentially in the remaining outstanding ballots are in Philadelphia and it's overwhelmingly Democratic suburbs

[ProudModerate2]

President-elect Joe Biden has emailed supporters saying ....

    "I am honored and humbled by the trust the American people have placed in me and in Vice President-elect Harris.
    In the face of unprecedented obstacles, a record number of Americans voted. Proving once again, that democracy beats deep in the heart of America.
    With the campaign over, it’s time to put the anger and the harsh rhetoric behind us and come together as a nation.
    It’s time for America to unite. And to heal.
    We are the United States of America. And there’s nothing we can’t do, if we do it together.
    I’m going to speak to the nation tonight and I’d love for you to watch.

So great for America and the world to have an adult back in the White House.

FEELS GOOD MAN

I'm thinking, why not appoint Susan Collins to some cabinet position and snatch that senate seat?

Presumably Mitch would never let that happen

I really doubt that the republicans would block Joe Biden from nominating a republican to his cabinet.

[BlueSwan]

So basically, we have gotten zero new dumps since the call...

I'm really glad Carter is still alive to see Georgia turn Democratic again.

Even as a Republican, I have to agree with this thought.  I would say the same thing if, say, Ronald Reagan or Richard Nixon had lived long enough to see the GOP regain California or something.

To a political nerd, I feel there is something inherently sad about longtime politicians seeing their safe states defect.

I'm so happy ☺️

Let the slaughtering begin.

Trump is going to win again

RIP BIDEN.

Enjoy the retirement home Joe!

OOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH  YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!

This is why Trump will win in November.

What if I told you... that 2016 was Trump's floor?

Game over dems.

Wow, Trump is destroying Biden!!! Go Trump!

Trump is winning big!

Looks like Trump is making a big rebound. Very scared.

Watch Atlas be super disappointed when at best, it is the 278 map and NE-02.
The landslide is not happening.
413 is a pipe dream.
Florida won’t flip because of Miami-Dade, North Carolina was always a wash, Georgia Republicans will ensure there is no coveted GA flip, IA/OH/TX were never on the table to begin with, and AZ will be close but will narrowly go to Trump.

If literally any one of these red states (except AZ because I’m not sure on that one) or some other fool’s gold state like MT/AK goes to Biden and he wins the election, I will change my avatar to “Idiotic Doomer” for the next four years.

There is probably a much higher chance Trump wins one of the three MI/WI/PA than Biden winning TX, by the way.
Quote me on this if I am wrong in a month, I dare you.

If he wins it'll be under 300

The race is tightening. As of right now, I think Trump narrowly wins PA.

As I said a long time ago. Georgia is not going blue in any statewide race period.

It’s a 52/48 state but it holds hard and fast to that. It’s not going blue. Period.

This is looking more and more like 2016.

I’m calling it right now.
The early voting data is just so terrible for the Democrats, I don’t see a path for Biden at this point.
The fact he is getting crushed in Florida on this weekend day shows that deplorables are indeed a silent majority.
I take no joy in this projection, and I sincerely hope our country gets what it deserves (I now am actively cheering for Xi Jinping on the global stage, they are better than we are) But it appears the American people really are as moronic and useless as I warned you all about.

I project Donald Trump will win the 2020 presidential election and will continue to be the 45th president of the United States.

Tag me if I’m wrong, because I won’t be.
There is no path for Biden, nor for America.

Trump.

Don't kid yourself.

National polls are getting ever closer.

Practically all swing states have Trump gaining ground, and are now within margin of error.

Trump is going to win this thing. My confidence is growing ever stronger.

Trump's approval rating is surging!!!!

This is 2016 all over again!!!!

GAME OVER LIBS!

The new Marist state polls have made me the most sure I ever was that Trump is going to win.

I think I'm gonna cry

I'm already crying. Have been since the Selzer poll.

It's over for Joe. Look at this last minute Trump surge in approval.



Everybody is ignoring this but Trump is surging.

Trump is going to win.

I'm literally sobbing right now.

GET READY FOR THE SLAUGHTERING

IT’S BEAUTIFUL!!!

[Tender Branson]

Guys, do not forget that Trump still has the nuclear codes.

He could still saw off a finger from Pence, get his codes somehow and nuke Washington to prevent Biden from becoming President.

It’s something Cartman would do in South Park.

Any possible way to get Collins to switch over to the Democratic party...?

Congratulations from Italy!

[dspNY]

I'm very relieved right now. They could have called PA 36 hours ago but the networks were very cautious and wanted to wait until Biden had both the lead outside of recount territory (0.5%) and the trends of the remaining votes solidly in his direction.

One other thing; the dancing in the streets. You love to see it (as long as everyone is wearing a mask)

I remember Bush 43 tried to do that. But it didn't work.

They absolutely should, but Susan isn’t nearly as dumb as she pretends to be and is being handsomely paid-off by wingnuts, so she might not take it.

Jill Biden tweets photo of Joe Biden wearing a "46" hat.

Jill Biden has tweeted a photo of her and her husband President-elect Joe Biden, who is wearing a hat that reads “We just did” and “46.”

"He will be a President for all of our families," Biden tweeted alongside a photo where she holds a sign and covers the word "vice" of vice president.

I think Trump also tried to do that with Manchin

Well yeah, unelected PM ofc has sympathy for an unelected President. Janez Janša just became PM this year because he offered cabinet position to a then-governmental party in decline that wanted to save their a##es.

That guy was in jail for being a corrupt shill.

A nice, bold "Welcome back America" from the mayor of Paris.

[Buffalo Mayor Young Kim]

I think Burr, who is both retiring and likely facing SEC investigation without Barr to protect him, being offered a minor cabinet role or ambassadorship would be more likely, but still a long shot.

Best thing we can do is win the GA run-offs.
