So, quick story...my principal (public middle school where I teach) is a closet conserv and goes to a Baptist church...today he announced at dismissal on the intercom that they had done a Civics exercise in 8th grade today, having the kids vote in a blind poll, where the only thing the kids knew were the platforms. The winner with 45% of the vote was Donald Trump. I laughed so hard my sides ached and my students (I teach at a 97% minority school) groaned. Best day ever.
 
My advice is keep praying, keep posting crappy memes and far right tweets from folks who would probably die for Trump, and keep staying angry over conspiracies and polls that work with Trump's campaign. This thread ain't changing. Four years ago some here admitted it was finally time to move on from Trump. A few months later an insurrection was apparently the left and the FBI's fault and now you've convinced yourselves again that there's just no way Trump can legitimately lose. Rinse/repeat.

In 48 hours Harris will be President-Elect and you guys will still be here in 2028 whining like children lol.
Bump.
 
So with two days left, Trump's final message to America is that he actually shouldn't have left office in 2020 after he lost and that he wouldn't mind if people "shot through" the "fake news" media. Yep, this dude is losing Tuesday night and his campaign has been a disaster since the MSG rally.

If he loses, here's a thought - blame Donald Trump and the dumb things he says daily. And then go pick another politician to worship.
Bumpity bump bump.
 
I kept this quiet but I saw a pollster go into the fact that Trump was further ahead than the polls indicated. His reasoning was partially Republicans not responding but also the media wanting to create this close race that wasn't that close.

I thought well, we'll see if you're correct or not but I kind of believed him.
Same thing happened in 2016. Trafalgar was the only one who predicted it close.
 
That's the thinking anyway. The NYT/Siena polls will be released tomorrow as well.

It's easy to just say "it's the economy, stupid!" or assume the country has some sort of love affair with Trump. Truth is, he's old with a ton of baggage and has had many missteps since the first debate against Biden. The last several days alone have been a disaster. I won't even mention him praising dictators, bashing allies, saying out loud that he'd like to be a dictator, wanting to end organizations like CBS, Jan 6, continued election denial, aligning himself with RFK Jr. and Elon's creepy ass, and focusing on how black someone really is while following that up with trying to make Haitians in OH an enemy of the people that he'd like to somehow deport to...Venezuela. I mean, wtf?

"The first party that drops their old guy is going to be the party that wins. And that's now the Democrats."

Do you work for cnn????/

Bump.
 
Rasmussen also has a history of coordinating with Trump's campaign team. Silver has mentioned that more than once. They typically lean right and are very Trump friendly. Does that automatically make them wrong? No, but just pointing that out.
Tell us more about the polls oh wise one..... Seems like Baris... who we have all been saying is good, and Atlas are the best in the biz and it turns out we were right..... Do you work for cnn?
 
Yes, Florida is going to vote for Trump. We know that already. Wanna show us a tweet of how MS is voting too? What I'm curious about is what the talking points will be if he loses the election. It can't just be polls were wrong in 2016 so all polls are wrong forever and 2020 and 2024 equals stolen. That sounds ridiculous but I think we're headed that way, at least in this thread.
Ouch...

You obviously can face defeat or what seems like defeat.

The problem are posters like nightwish that couldn't wait to come here and talk smack tonight.

It's hard to lose though and I try not to give too much crap to people.
I wouldn't be talking smack if crappy Kamala had won either. I care about issues. Material reality. Trump more aligns with my populism than Kamala does on certain issues. Not most, but some. We should all be voting on ways we think will make America better, not 'victory' or "defeat". Red team vs. Blue team is just another way they seek to divide us while they pick our pockets. There will be plenty of wealth transfers to the rich under Trump, just as there were under Biden, and Trump the first time, and every other president of my lifetime. We've already had four years of Trump. Did anything change? Everyone around here says the last four under Biden were abysmal. So guess he didn't really fix much, did he? In four years we'll get a new choice. And that'll just be more years of limping along under the failing status quo until we get a real change agent who sees America in a different way.
 
Election Wizard (which always gets posted here) is a right wing account that loves Trump. So yes, they will have him winning almost every swing state no matter what. Check that account on election night if Harris wins. I'd wager that account begins tweeting that it was stolen from Donald.

Here's my guess on things: Trump has somewhat imploded in the final week as millions have begun voting. Women will break for Harris and I don't see young men racing to the polls to vote for Trump just because he appeared on a few podcasts and talked about bitcoin. Abortion is still an important driver and Vance's obsession with single women and Trump saying things like he'll protect women "whether they like it or not" are wrong moves. Buddying up with Elon and RFK Jr. probably didn't help either lol.
How did they do tonight cnn guy?

This is likely your answer, as most into the numbers of it all were waiting for this particular poll to drop tonight. Obviously this doesn't mean Harris is winning IA but if it's anywhere close to this, she wins the race. If it's that close in Iowa or she's actually leading, that makes things significantly tougher for Trump. But tonight, disregard it if you want, say it's cheating, I don't care. We'll all know on Tuesday evening what's what.

How close did she end up in Iowa? Was it the outlier we said or were you right?
 
so listen guys. I was watching SkyNews earlier this evening with my wife. They were at a Trump gathering in PA, and they talked to this woman and asked her if she cared about abortion. She went the f OFF. She said, look, women, Kamala can't change Dobbs anyway, and if you're concerned about it, CLOSE YOUR LEGS! Yes she said that on TV, hilarious. She kept going on and on, very intelligent and informed, and they eventually had to cut her off and just move on. I told my wife, I'm in love with that chick's mind
