So, it's blue wall centric (HOLD!) and if Georgia and NC happen to pull through all the better?

The easiest path for her is MI, PA, WI. 

Sun Belt and NV are just as important but she’s not gonna do a Hillary and ignore the 3 states that are most favorable to her and get her what she needs.

When I was a kid, the Chili's Baby Back Ribs commercial convinced me that they were possibly the greatest food on earth.  I begged my parents to go to one for months so I could try them.  They finally gave in.  I took one bite and my childhood ended.  They were fucking terrible.  They were baked in an oven after being drenched in liquid smoke.  I couldn't even eat them.  I'm honestly shocked they didn't make me eat the whole damn rack after whining about them for months.  I guess they took pity on me.

Did you even realize back then that they weren’t made out of babies?

Well then, that settles it.  None of y'all should bring strippers with you to Chili's this Wednesday.

Unless you want to.

Who am I kidding?  If you want to bring strippers, go for it.  But they're staying on YOUR tab.

Southern Indiana and Southern Illinois had a lot of Southern sympathizers during the Civil War.

Southern Indiana is as HillBilly as Kentucky.  A lot of Quakers in East / Central.

As someone born on a hill on the border of Indiana/Ohio and I-70, I can confirm there are a bunch of religious hillbillies along what were underground RR routes... but they tended to mind their business until you get further north, where the klan seems to have made roots (not far from Notre Dame).

I was just thinking how funny it would be if Trump surprised everyone and conceded around midnight tomorrow night. "I would like to congratulate my opponent, President-elect Harris, on running a great campaign...." 

Our brains can't even imagine it happening. Like trying to imagine what infinity looks like. Something literally everyone except him has done.

Have always hated Notre Dame, but I do love the story that the name Fighting Irish came from the students going out and beating the shit out of the Klan when they marched in Souf Bend.

seems to me that Nate Silver and 538’s model aren’t built to withstand all the right wing spam polls no matter what jiggering with their model they’ve attempted. What are your thoughts?

According to his IG he hates Trump

Yeah, I went to the Google machine to see what that was all about. It's 2+ years old and in reference to him saying things like he'd give Trump a swift left hook, etc, that earned him a visit from the Secret Service. Got naked with Kim Basinger, Carre Otis and Marisa Tomei AND hates Trump ...

They're not.  They all got fooled in 2022 as well - 538 had Oz and Masters both favored heading into E-Day.  Obviously, Fetterman won by 5 (and was called that night) and Kelly won by 5 as well. 

They are either going to have to devalue these spam polls or exclude them all together, but then they get accused of bias. 

None of the models are built to handle firms like Atlas just spamming a dozen polls a week in each state.

well i just spent an hour catching up on this thread and man, y'all talk about some stupid shit. can we please not lose focus?

when you're ordering your chili's chicken ranch sandwich, and i cannot stress this enough, tell your server to bring you the buffalo sauce and ranch on the side. if you don't, they will pour it on for you, and it will be a soggy mess.

let's be safe out there.

Oh, it's a possibility.  If she is just running the table and looks like she is going to get 350+, he (in theory, mind you) could concede in hopes of maybe getting a pardon from a President Harris down the road.

That's the only scenario that I could see him doing that.

That dude is huffing Fentanyl-strength hopium. I mean, Trump has a chance at winning -- I don't think he will -- but if he does, it will be by a razor-thin margin.

So they are already sharing fake screenshots from CNN showing Harris winning Texas.

CNN has come out and issued a statement saying it’s completely fucking fake.

Russians or maga? Why not both

Or it’s their internal polling showing Texas flipping or coming close to it, so they are spreading this stuff to cast doubt.  It’s what I would do in their place .

[Hawndoh 2409]

There is no way he is conceding. He will claim it was stolen and try to go to Russia if it looks like he might go to jail.

Oh damn. I had forgotten about those. Last one I ate was years ago, at the Eagles Club in a dumpy midwest river town. 
Now I’m hungry for a pork tenderloin, a Busch on draft, and some old fashioned blue collar racism. 

Didi’s Downtown in Frisco has one called Hoosier Daddy on their menu once or twice a month. So big we split one and wash ‘em down with a Bloody Mary.

If I am the Justice Department (or the States of New York or Georgia), I am getting his passport and impounding his plane the minute he fucking loses.

I have also said before, I wouldn't be that surprised if there's been back channels in the last few days, or weeks, about a pardon in exchange for conceding he lost. 

Now, has/would Harris or Biden even entertain that offer or even take the calls is another story.  And I doubt it.

How do they just 'get' passports and impound planes at the state level?

[Js1 87178]

Someone's employer (Newsmax) is gonna be big mad he said this

 

Journalist Mark Halperin: From Madison Square Garden until yesterday, Trump has lost the info flow…Trump's event in Lancaster yesterday, which I went to, was one of the worst events I've ever seen him hold. He was tired, hoarse, he talked about election denialism, he made a joke about the press being shot…He spent the week insulting Blacks, Hispanics, and women…I think it might cost him the election…

I believe he has sentencing on November 18th, and I believe they can demand his passport is surrendered while the case is on appeal as he is a flight risk.  Isn't he out on bond in GA anyway?  If he is deemed to be a flight risk, that could all change.

I just don't think he's capable. Even if he tried to do it, after about five seconds he'd be off script and screaming about how he only lost because it was rigged.

Biden might agree to pardon him in exchange for Trump moving to Russia. I hear there are plenty of windows there.
