PredictIt bettors are idiots, full stop. Markets will often shift 3-4 points based on a tweet from something like "Red Eagle Pollster Bot" saying that sources tell them early voting trends in rural Possum Taint county are 10% better than expected for Trump, but then not move based on a Biden +10 poll from a legit pollster.

It sounds like I don’t follow it nearly as close as you. Guess it’s nothing substantial.

I am so thrilled tonight! I spoke with my mom and asked her how my dad was taking the election. She said after every network declared Biden the winner, he turned off Fox News and said “Well, glad t

This was my experience in Galveston County, except for one thing. I came in and presented my ID to the geriatric at the front who printed out my pin number. I took my pin number to a table where two B

Left it on ANC after the debate. Dude...Jimmy Kimmel, via a video his wife put together, just fucking laid down the thunder.

The video is on preexisting conditions, using their young son as an example (he was born with heart defects). The video discusses how the ACA requires such coverage, and the GOP and Trump are actively trying to take it away, with no replacement. Calls out senators who voted to take it away.

Then says “Moms don’t forget.” And “Americans take care of one another.”

It is brutally powerful. Fuck this evil regime and all who enable it.

Trump voters have been conditioned by the lotto to give their money to people smarter and richer than they are, so they slot nicely into making dumb bets on PredictIt.

All Trump gains erased in PA and the national head to head. Prices overall back to almost exactly where they were 4 hours ago.

Reactionary money in the minutes following the debate got quickly matched by vultures buying up depressed share prices.

I don’t even know what to think of that. It’s a red county for sure, but 25% new voters?  I’m assuming most of them are from out of state and quite possibly blue states. Could be good or bad tho.

They did build Toyota HQ here with a lot of transplants coming from Cali. I think much of that new voter 25% will tilt strongly blue.

Here’s my take :

 

the other reason I’m skeptical that the trajectory of this race can change is the calendar. There’s only 11 days left before Election Day and 4 of those days are weekend days. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I usually don’t follow the news or politics as closely during the weekend. I’ll do something else like watch football or whatever. Congress isn’t in session those days. I only see about 6 good days where trump can try to score political points and he still doesn’t have a comey moment to dampen democratic enthusiasm.

The words of another respected pundit. Anyone who thinks the oil comment is going to swing millions of voters is either an idiot or a desperate GOP loser.

Definitely respected. He should talk to his employee for this gaslighting tweet. I expect better from Cook.

While everyone was FreAkINg OuT about oil on the debate thread, Trump got jacked by Biden on pandemic response early in the night.  
 

What’s more important to this election: O&G workers in Texas,  or terrified seniors in The Villages in FL, where Trump is already underperforming his 2016 numbers?

My issue is that it introduced a ripple of any kind in what should be smooth sailing into the presidency.  Change can only be bad when you’re up by double digits.

I’m a huge fan of Biden’s Keep it boring, String plan.  And In an ideal world he would have said “I’m not going to ban oil, but we do need to use less and start using more renewable energy”. But it’s noise, not signal.

The oil comment likely removed any chance he had of winning texas, which removes the chance for the kind of message-sending blowout the country needs.  Sad that it was that fragile and sad that Biden wasn’t up to the task, but not unexpected, and at least he didn’t say anything bad enough to materially affect his chances of winning.

If you step back and consider that “I am the least racist person in the room” wasn’t a disaster for Trump, but “shut down oil production” was seen as a blunder for Biden, it’s really amazing how far apart the two standards we’ve set for these candidates really are.

Trump is going to claim Biden said he's going to take away your oil & shut down the refineries. Just more of his doom & gloom, "your 401k's will vanish, every city will be a ghost town if Biden is elected" bullshit.

Biden's mistake was being sucked into answering Trump directly as the clock wound down. He said he would "transition" from an oil economy. Get his communication team out front with basic, elementary school level reminders to the populace with something like:

Oil & all fossil fuels are finite resources. They will not last forever. This is why America needs to lead the world in developing new, renewable & sustainable energy sources. We need to maximize O&G efficiency in the meantime, but always be looking to the future for the solutions that will continue to drive our economic growth & national security while maintaining a safe, clean environment.

Yes, his answer should have been a strong "no, I would not shut down the industry, but I would help it transition to renewables. That has to happen."  He was right, but the wording wasn't perfect. Not a big deal.
