    Every cell in my brain wants to call shenanigans on this, but there’s no way they could ratfuck every single county in the country. Is there?

    There are a lot of absurd percentages tonight. Trump won Florida and Texas by like 4% and 6% in 2020. POLLS!! had them at roughly the same this year. He's winning by 13% and 14% tonight.

    He just did better by 2 points everywhere. It was enough.

    Do pollsters have terrible polls the way starting pitchers sometimes have nothing when they take the mound? Because missing by 17 points has to be like Greg Maddux getting drilled and knocked out after 2/3 of an inning.

    @Regan MacNeil can come and get some of this too after the scolding I took a few weeks ago for saying he was going to win again.

    And many thought Shy Trump Voters were vestiges of one terrible night. They had either followed Liz Cheney or come out of the kkkloset. Guess not.

    When you don't herd or modify your system to churn out the same results, yes. It's rare. And it's rare to be this significant. But yes, it happens.

    FWIW, Trump's 210,000 lead in Pa. is down to 80,000. Garbage time baskets?

    When the economy tanks because of his tariffs, we won't hear a word from those people who said they voted for Trump because of the economy. And if he dies start deporting people, many of those Hispanic males who voted for him are gonna be saying goodbye to friends and co-workers.

    Yes, they do. WaPo poll had Biden up by 17 in Wisconsin last time. He barely won.
    According to exit polls two-thirds of voters rated economy "not so good" or "poor". 50 percent said "poor." What'll they say if and when (and it's gonna be when) it gets worse? If the electorate is that spoiled, there's no governing it except by dictate. Oh, wait, that's what's gonna happen.
