POTUS 45.65: I'm Just Here For The Lincoln Project Ads

Why is it I feel like it could either be a Biden landslide or a narrow dump win, outcomes that should not sit side-by-side in likelihood?

Other than the fact that I just don't get this stuff.

I don't think your assessment is that odd at all.

At the risk of "Rovering" myself (speaking of which, he's been noticeably absent lately), Biden is going to win the race. From an Electoral College standpoint I think it'll be a landslide, and it will even probably be something like 55-45 in terms of popular vote. But I think on closer analysis people will see that victory wasn't that far out of Trump's grasp, that had he taken advantage of the Covid crisis he probably could have picked up enough votes in the right locations to swing the EC count in his favor.

Thus, it will probably be a "landslide," but one Trump could have prevented without having to switch too many votes for a narrow win.

Just my feeling on how things will go.
 
Speaking of Rudy, where is all that startling evidence against the Biden's on Burisma? Inquiring minds want to know. And, how is Barr doing on that unmasking investigation? We gotta have, what, 3 or 4 Obama officials due to be arrested by now, right?

And, why in the **** isn't Hillary Clinton in jail yet? I just don't get it.

(You might have seen this but) Barr's hand-picked prosecutor quietly closed the unmasking investigation yesterday with no indictments, no convictions, no finding of wrongdoing at all. Somehow Fox forgot to report on the outcome.

I'm aware. I was being sarcastic. I do find it interesting and deplorable that these idiots keep promising **** and never deliver. They promised an alternative health care plan? Well, where in the **** is it? And the media continually let's them get away with this ****. I'd be asking Mark ****ing Meadows every ****ing day, "you promised to put somebody, anybody from the Obama administration in jail. Why haven't you arrested anyone yet?"

If Dump had handled the pandemic properly then the economy would've already mostly rebounded, the "Sleepy Joe" and "Joe for Resident 2020" attacks would probably be sticking more after that first debate, and he'd be looking at likely re-election right now. He didn't though, and so he has no one but himself to blame for losing this thing. America is lucky that he's such a godd@mned moron.

Its tough...I kind of flip flop using the same logic but I am not sure Trump would have ever won, but if he doesn't completely botch the Pandemic it is probably way too friggin close for comfort meaning his odds were way better. (along with the down ballot races) The problem is he wasn't exactly trending great before all of this but if the economy was still humming conventional wisdom says the incumbent wins. It would have been interesting and a very tough battle for both sides.

With 17 million votes already submitted though the map isnt looking too favorable. Even the big Republican states like Texas (18.1% of 2016 total) and Flo(R)ida (22% of 2016 total) are getting their votes in early which is a really bad sign for Trump. Add in that Wisconsin and Michigan are pumping in early numbers and I just dont see how any person with a brain for the GOP isnt sweating bullets. They won those states by convincing people to not to vote for president. (brilliant move by the GRU as shown in Agents of Chaos) Looks like they are ready to get some revenge.

As for Rover...I think between the new board and the fact that no one is really engaging with him has put him off coming here. He posts every few weeks though and no one seems to really notice. Maybe if Trixie was still around he would take the bait but I think Kepler still has him blocked and the rest of us are kind of bored with it.

I agree with this. He kept saying, early on, "we'll be past this in a couple of weeks". That was then incorrectly transcribed as something Fauci or the CDC said, and now the moron brigade keeps posting those idiot "how many 2 weeks will it take?" memes.

Well guys, ask your leader since he's the only one that was espousing that notion.

And if my aunt had a d-ck. The metaphysical essence of Dump is his malignant narcissism. By definition, he could not have handled COVID any other way. He is terminally deceitful, stupid, and vicious. It had to go down this way.

I agree with your popular vote assessment: 55-45. Well past the ability of the Right to steal it.
 
Jesus Christ Hovey, if he had done even a half capable job with the Covid he'd have been re-elected in a landslide. But doing so is just so far beyond his capabilities it was never going to happen.

He'll, even him just being able to consider, "hey, you know, if I get things set so this disease doesn't kill many people, I'll get re-elected easily" is so out of his wheelhouse, it just shows how completely unfit he is for the job.

Had he done a half-capable job, he wouldn't be Trump.

It doesn't even have to do with whether he was able to do a "capable job" or not. It's a question of whether he could take advantage of a nationwide "crisis" not of his own doing. Every politician who has been handed such a gift on a platter sees a great political bounce out of it, if they choose to take advantage of it.

What exactly would be a "capable job" of handling this? Cuomo is deemed to have done a capable job, yet he oversaw the deaths of more people than most countries. Here in Minnesota, Walz is seen as having done a "capable job" yet Minnesota has seen a steady climb in cases since early June.

All Trump really had to do was pretend to try.
 
had a friend say to me today "Imagine Trump has a crisis where he’s able to look at his actions objectively and develops empathy at the same time". You can't imagine that, because you know he's not capable of it.
 
I'm not sure he was on the fast track to winning pre-Covid. The economy was "fine" but nowhere near what he claimed it would be, he'd still have no health plan, the fallout from the George Floyd murder and the front and center racism being exhibited by so many of his followers galvanized a lot of people, and I think people were starting to have enough of the tom foolery. We'll never know so just get it done now while the pan is hot.

Without Covid I don’t think the Floyd murder rises to the level that it did. Which is sad to think about, but a butterfly effect of sorts. Eventually there was going to be an incident that made people decide enough is enough, but most don’t have the external factors Floyd’s did. Most states were still under tight lockdown at that point, millions out of work, major sports were still two months from starting, there were no restaurants or bars to go out to. All distractions were gone. For the first time in a long time, probably since 9/11, it was a moment of history you couldn’t ignore.

New plan: we set up a fake university and tell Trump we're giving him an honorary medical degree, when he shows up we trap him in a Truman Show style world where we can watch him pretend to be president but he can't actually hurt anyone

And another one from the, "How the f**k does he continue to get away this s**t front and center over and over and over?" department:

‘He’s getting a bit desperate’: Trump tramples government boundaries as election nears
As his fundraising has slipped, Trump has upped his use of federal resources to compensate.
 
Oooh sasse privately disagrees? Grow a spine

“JUST IN: Republican Sen. Ben Sasse reportedly blasted President Trump for “mistreat[ing] women,” “kiss[ing] dictators’ butts” and mocking evangelicals in a newly obtained recording of a private call with constituents. Sasse also slammed the president's handling of the coronavirus pandemic.

“The reality is that he careened from curb to curb. First, he ignored COVID. And then he went into full economic shutdown mode. He was the one who said 10 to 14 days of shutdown would fix this,” Sasse said. “And that was always wrong. I mean, and so I don't think the way he's lead through COVID has been reasonable or responsible, or right.”
