Re: Current Events Thread
@slashsfro:
I was just getting ready to say. Why is Trump suing to stop the count in Michigan when he is behind? Is he also going to challenge the current results? That's pretty freakin' audacious.
I believe it's not to stop the votes entirely, but until they can get their people there to "watch" it. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
Either way it is audacious, illiberal and pathetic.

JUST IN: Instead of delaying releasing results until tomorrow, Nevada officials will release more results later today due to the high interest in how Nevada voted. #8NN #Election2020 #NVElection #YLHEhttps://t.co/DjPUNesbeO

Re: Current Events Thread
What are they basing that on? Just wishful thinking? The fact they are ahead?
It just seems so arbitrary. "OK, everybody tweet out that we won at 2:30 p.m. That should settle it."
Well that's exactly it. He's controlling the narrative, distorting the truth, so his supporters believe these votes still being counted should be invalid, and all voting must stop.
Which isn't true, most were received as of yesterday. Hundreds of thousands of them.

This way, Trump saves face and can brag about getting more votes than Obama, how the race was rigged against him and he didn't really lose, and he can just troll "Sleepy Joe" for the next four years. But hopefully he doesn't run again. I just have this awful feeling he will.
If he lost, it's over. He'll be Sleepy Donald in 4 years.
Ivanka may run in 2024 in an attempt to cash in on Trumpism but I think it's over if Biden takes this.
Not sure how the country is going to react to no more 24/7 Trump.
It'll be weird.
No Trump will ever be allowed into the GOP again. Don't get me wrong, Trump has done wonders to steal the blue collar base from the Democrats, but the man and his family are pure toxicity. Chelsea Clinton wouldn't fair well either. Sean Parnell just ousted Democrat Connor Lamb in Pittsburgh. Look for him to be a rising start in the GOP - late 30s and a decorated combat veteran who lead a company of men in Afghanistan. Veterans like me are getting really tired of these reservists who served as lawyers and spent 4 months at a Hilton pretending to be John Rambo.
I still think Crenshaw is going to be a superstar. Nikki Haley is who the Republican base will rally around, though. It's hard to pick a rising star on the Democratic side who isn't a niche left wing candidate or isn't getting held back by Pelosi. It could very well be a celebrity/billionaire candidate, ie the Rock or Bob Iger.
Re: Current Events Thread
Aha, so here's why Team Trump rushed to declare victory in Pa.
My back of the envelope estimate was that Biden needed 67% of the outstanding vote to win PA. Since I started tracking, he's gotten 76% of what has come in
