I'd like to believe that isn't the only consideration.
2020 US Elections | Biden certified as President | Dems control Congress

Let's not give up on the Senate ye. If Purdue falls under 50% then both GA seats go to Jan runoff. Win them both and Senate is 50-50!
Yea, I was just pointing out that both candidate will add another 1-2m to the total before the count is finished.
Even 33% of CA's remaining 3m or so votes gets Trump close to that Obama 08 total.
I really have no idea how to do it, but from a broad demographics perspective, besides getting more white vote it seems like the main defection from Dem voters vs last 4 years was a bit of the hispanics. I've honestly been wondering if its just that Trump had much less anti-immigrant messaging (although on the ground he's been doing quite a bit to screw immigrants) than 2 or 4 years ago, and that people have memories that are that short.
No chance whatsoever it happens with Republican senate. Only chance it happens is if Dems win the 2 Georgia races.
A lot of people had high hopes that a lot of good things would get done in the first 2 years of a Biden term and its now all gone to waste. You would think everyone would be jumping from the rooftops with the dems winning the presidency, but everyone is just deflated because it was such a bad night in the house/senate.
This is mainly due to fast growing Metro areas in the south.
I live in the Raleigh area and sometimes it feels there are more people from New Hampshire than Raleigh here now. It is booming like crazy and the city/area will soon be another Atlanta.
Unless GA pulls through
As someone who's had a close family member involved with a cult, I'd say most trump supporters share a lot of common characteristics with cult members. They are quite normal until you attack their cult leader and then all hell breaks lose.
For sure, but again it always comes down whether its in the senate's interest at any given time. A bit like how the UK's main two parties are reluctant to embrace proportional representation as they'd lose a fair share of seats down to proportionality. By the same token, the Dems might not be so inclined to rush to welcome Puerto Rico with open arms if it doesn't guarantee them safe EC votes every 4 years, even if it is objectively the 'right thing' to do.
Wow, that was brilliant.
How about offering cabinet positions to GOP senators from states with DEM governors?
There are too few ‘liberal religious people’ and ‘progressive Democrats’ for those arguments to make a lot of sense on a nationwide scale.
My grandpa would have voted for Trump as well but he passed away in Oct 2015. My grandpa was a father to me as I never met my real dad (he was around for a bit when I was an infant). He was a good person, served as a LRRP in 'Nam but held a racist view towards Asians thanks to that war. Very giving, devout Baptist, compassionate, not a single ounce of narcissism. Trump was the antithesis of him.
My grandma did vote for him as she always votes R. She would have voted this year but passed away two weeks ago, almost five years to the date granted they had divorced like twelves years ago. I don't know if she voted early or mailed-in before her stroke. She became more bitter as she aged and got to the point that I reluctantly shut her out of my life. She held some traits like Trump, bit of a bully-streak, a defeatist attitude, prone to attack, etc. It really saddened me to see this woman I held in high regard my first 35 years or so turn out to be such a mean person.

Just think for a second about how batshit fecking mental those words actually sound.
The First Amendment of the US Constitution says you are not a Christian nation and in fact everyone has the right to believe what they want without persecution.

It is literally the stupidest argument anyone who respects the US Constitution could ever make. You all know about the second and fifth amendments but somehow the first and most important one gets forgotten.
I'm uninitiated. Why's that so?"America is fecked unless Georgia comes to the rescue!"

Yeah this just boggles the mind. I kinda get it when looking at Republican Presidents of the past but both Obama and especially Biden have more religion in their little pinky than Trump does in his considerably sized body.

Why has nobody posted this in the thread so far?
Location of them inside the US also played a part.
In one of the massive apparent swings on the Texas border, something like 50 points down by Biden, is it okay to label that as potentially just a Mexican area or does it need to drilled down to from what part of Mexico or even down to the potentially significantly less populace of other non-Mexican countries? This will be interesting as a sociological experiment as well. Unprecedented in scope perhaps. Not much chance of not potentially feeling like a bug on a pin as a Latino in the coming years.
Thats not true
Wanna see strange? Look at 1976 Election, looks science fiction by today's normal
Carter was a good ol' southern boy to be fair.
Deep south? Appalachian hillbillies?
Damage was already done.
John king opens up his shift "today could he the special day where we know....."

Which is why they are winning.
It has changed a lot in fact. Weren't the Democrats over a century back the party of the southern landowners? It's really since the 50s that you see the current divide developing, deepening, widening. And a lot of that is conscious strategy from politicians, sensing that they can lock in voting groups by taking strong stances on specific issues, that thus become divisive. Just last week I was reading that, back in the 60s (70s?), the GOP was in favour of abortion as part of their support for family planning, and supported gun restrictions. Back then, they thought of these things as general policy issues that require a rational stance; fast-forward to now, and they have been made into identity-defining issues that have to be nurtured. (Which is why stances can seem so out of touch with reality: rational discourse is not the point.) Or at least, that's my understanding of it.
Worst is when CCN says "well right now, WE DONT KNOW"
Of course you don't fecking know but can you give some analysis or predictions?
Condolences on your grandma.
I completely understand what you are saying here. My father is the antithesis of Trump in every way, but he is an avid Fox/Breitbart consumer and refuses to watch anything else. I think we convinced him to not vote for Trump, but there is no way he voted for Biden. Politics are a banned topic of discussion and the number of times we chat has plummeted the last 2 months. It truly has been like watching your hero be unmasked.
John King back on air
Imagine if the artistic and cultural world was on the brink of disaster and the only person who could save it was Michael Bay..
Yep. Republicans freed the slaves too.
Madness. This is what happens when the 'family' in power all get their news from random Facebook and Twitter sources and treat it like it's iron-clad. It's like if someone's boomer parents ran the country.
Based on this page alone, John King truly is the Ole of CNN.
