Board 8 > Politics Containment Topic 336: Through the Wire

(+) Yeah! (+)

...oh.
predicting the next step this mail in argument is gonna go in: dems voted twice. once by mail, then once again in person, and both are in the count. so a recount and a recheck to prevent double voting results will be needed.

Thankfully he doesnt actually need to accept them; on January 20th he will no longer be president regardless of his acknowledgment of reality.

This post just made me for the first time take a moment to fully realize that post-presidential trump tweets are going to be a thing

itt we list other things devastating in percentage and power of destruction

So what's the over/under on Trump running in 2024

---

House will spend the next 2 years investigating Trump and doing nothing else and get midtermed on their control

Also winning the Senate in 2022 will be harder in a midterm year with president in power.

Wonder if Trump would have won if the census changes were instituted for this election.

If he loses PA or GA, no

If he wins both of those, I think so

nah this is still the best Trump tweet

Glad Susan collins won. One of the only moderates left in the entire senate

Do you think he'll stop tweeting once he leaves office?

that trump tweet fuels the SMT lover in me.
though i guess Devil May Cry might fit better with its camp.

There are no vulnerable dem seats that I see, but I dunno where they pick up seats in an off presidential year with Biden in power either. Like their best options are Wisconsin or open seats (retiring republicans) in PA or NC, but all of those are uphill imo.

People will stop quoting them. Yes.

...update from the NYT.

Arizona isn't 98% counted.
it's 86% due to an error.

I don't think the South Florida missing votes are gonna be enough since I don't think those will SKU excessively D.

GA is over with this for sure though, and may have been even without them.

Not to be rude, but I think you're confused.

So what happens in that case? If the USPS fucked up, possibly because of a guy that's clearly trying to help Trump, what do they do? Are those voters just SOL?

I don't think it would have made a difference in Florida either, but it certainly seems like it would in Georgia

---

I do wonder how much of Trump supporters are a-political and will fall back out of politics when he's no longer on the ballot.

I think because it was USPSs fault and not GA/FLs fault that theres nothing that can be done unless GA/FL law allow ballots to come in later (which I believe they dont)

Hope Im wrong about that!

I dont think AZ is a factor here

the path for trump is GA/MI/PA, which seems more and more out of grasp

Somehow there will be magical ballot dumps for him? VERY STRANGE
---

So that's referring to ballots that never reached the voters, correct?

So they had to either change their plans to vote-in-person, or decide not to vote?

And I'm not sure how Florida was set up. Were they sending ballots to everyone or only those that requested ballots? Because if they are a request-only state then it would stand to reason that the requests skewed democrat.

---

I know at least several people online that were voting Trump almost exclusively for his anti-mask stance and his desire to reopen the country regardless of personal cost. Most of these are traditionally non voters and at least claimed they didn't vote for Trump in 2016 (which I'm a little dubious about but at least taking them at their word). I don't think those people are republican votes again in 2024 but who knows how big of a population that is. Probably very marginal if I had to guess.

Tweet is deleted now but I just saw this Vice article about it

https://www.vice.com/amp/en/article/5dppad/why-the-post-offices-last-minute-ballot-crisis-isnt-as-dire-as-it-seems?__twitter_impression=true

Tldr might not actually be an issue because USPS likely started manually sending out ballots without reporting it to go faster. There are some other logistical concerns but the amount of undelivered ballots isn't to be taken at face value

Dude sounded defeated at his press conference and his tweets come off as more whiney than defiant and ready to take this to the end.

I think his energy for this is gone.

However Florida counts votes is how everyone should do it. Outside of one election, they've been aces.

no

You know it's kinda weird. I voted by mail (well drop box) for the first time this year. (First time I was able to!). I didn't get my ballot in the mail for a long time, then one day I happened to be looking through my car and it was there. I guess the mailman put it there (only way it could've gotten there) but I was lucky to have found it.

Welp 8am seems as good a time to force myself to go to sleep as any

Hope to see more good news when I wake up!

His campaign disagrees on AZ at least.
I think they're under the impression that the 12% missing are election day votes because those were the last ones Arizona was counting. If true, those do skew to Trump heavy.

There are a lot of people who voted for Trump that didnt vote in 2016 so they had to come from somewhere

Right and he could very well win it, I just dont think its going to factor into the endgame

---

That's fair.
End game won't be happening for weeks anyway. Recounts and checking for double votes will take up the time.

---

Actually if he gets Arizona and Nevada he could lose michigan or Georgia. But he still needs those states plus one of mi and ga and Pennsylvania. I still think its ballgame

---

I will say that despite the grousing about Biden reaching out to suburban moderates/conservatives/Republicans, if WI/MI/PA (and maybe GA) pulling through is what gets him the victory, that strategy worked. He did what he was hired to do.

Pretty much, the fact that Biden has flipped enough states by the very next morning has pretty much muted any of Trump's celebrations and puts him on the defensive (or at the very least into a wait and see mode). All the more important role Arizona played last night. We could have been waiting for Georgia to finish up or worse watch Pennsylvania for days.

yeah, twitter's fueling their argument there. it's really not hard to say yeah it looks weird but explain why or how it could be legit. all this does is strengthen the argument that it's fixed.
