President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Would have fielded interest from the SEC. Both of them.

 

RFK Jr. is a deeply unwell person. He and trump are much alike.

I'd imagine more than half of his small group of supporters go to trump. Some percentage will to Harris. Some won't vote. Some were never going to vote.

Overall, it probably helps trump. But I kind doubt it's enough to matter either way. The sooner that nutjob is off the stage the better.

Hopefully Cheryl Hines dumps the dumbass.

 

There were reports that she was being very adamant about him not endorsing Trump.

 

Be nice if Jill Stein and/or Cornell West took the hint. Which they won’t.

 

Colin Allred is within 2 points of Calgary Rafael in Texas. That’s within the margin of error.

Colin Allred criticizes opponent Ted Cruz as a ‘me guy’ in DNC address

 

I’ll be shocked if Calgary Ted loses, but if he does, that’s an indication of a blue wave.

 

I know the Vance part was posted but I hadn't seen the Walz one

 

Agreed. But my guess is most of Kennedy's voters were already in red states to begin with, or a non-factor in most instances. So his effect on swing state numbers may be minimal. My worry is the siphoning off of voters by the third party wankers. Libertarian voters in 2020 could have made significant differences in Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Instead of those races being "too close to call," had the majority of those votes gone to Biden, there wouldn't have even been a shadow of a doubt who won on Election Night.

It's not as bad as 2016, when almost 1 in 20 voters wasted their votes on third-party candidates, which very well could have been the difference between the first woman President and the cratering of the Oval Office. For "her emails", Bengazi, Russian interference and crappy campaigning in the Midwest, the real reason Hillary lost could be Gary Johnson and Jill Stein.

There's always going to be a group of 2 million oddballs who don't like the two-party system but they can have a detrimental effect when the race is down to a decimal point one way or the other.

"My vote doesn't really matter" is OK if you're in a decidedly red or blue state to begin with, but every vote sure as hell will matter in Tempe, Madison, Ann Arbor, State College or Sandy Springs on Election Day.

 

Six years ago Beto lost by 215,000 votes. Texas has added at least 2.5 million people since then

 

Unfortunately, most people moving to Texas are weirdo Republicans. Last election cycle, Beto won native Texans, and lost transplants 57-42.
