President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Nate Silver just posted something that made me laugh out loud:

This seems like a cogent summary if Republicans do in fact wind up losing:

My sense is Perdue and Loeffler could have survived any 2 of these 3: being unimpressive candidates, GA shifting purple, and Trump being a maniac.

I have never wavered from the belief Mitt Romney is one of the most decent men to have ever run for president. He ran up against a generational campaigner in Obama.

 

Damn right

 

Good freaking grief.

Then again, all the Subhuman Pile of Crime has to do is start attacking on Twitter, usually starting with the "RINO" label which triggers his base. And his base thinks that all Republicans are Trumpists. Those who aren't are automatically labeled scum of the Earth. Honorable Republicans - and there are still some left - need to distance themselves from this cult. And by that, I mean more than six feet.

 

Right man, wrong time. 2012 Mitt probably wins easily in 2000 or 2016.

That said, I think history will treat him well and not only for saving the 2002 Winter Olympics.

 

So is it worth staying up an extra hour or will this drag on until Wednesday morning?

 

Raffensperger expects a massive load of ballots from DeKalb in the next 30 minutes. Should see where we stand at that point. And Warnock's home county of Chatham is still way behind on reporting.

 

Stacey Fucking Abrams.

 

She can't be thanked enough ... she has been at the helm of the turnout.

Already got Joe Biden the electoral votes, no matter what the seditionists and other disgusting bastards on Capitol Hill might think. And she obviously didn't slow down in the aftermath based on turnout for the runoff. We owe her everything if Ossoff and Warnock emerge victorious.

 

Down goes Moscow Mitch!
