The 2020 General Election Thread

[Kutnupe14]

It looks like Minnesota, a state that hasn't gone for a Republican presidential candidate in nearly 50 years, may actually be in play for Trump.

RNC: 60% of Attendees of Trump’s Minnesota Rally Were Not Republicans



Maybe, just maybe, people don't like when the party in power allows radicals to burn down major cities and move to abolish police.

I think you’re reading a bit too much into that. Duluth went for Trump in 2016 +15. Prior to, it was reliably Democratic. I don’t think the needle has moved much since then.

Hope Hicks has the 'rona...

Trump says he will begin quarantine process after top aide Hope Hicks tests positive for coronavirus

 

[semperfi211]

If Trump tested tomorrow and it came up negative can he still be carrying the virus in its incubation stage and test positive later or does the test detect the virus in the incubation stage also?

The county is where the rally was. That doesn’t mean the attendees are from that county. Usually when trump holds a rally people from all over the state attend, so I think having 60% of the people at your rally not being Republicans is pretty telling.

Im not so sure. I’d, personally, think that the people there were mostly local - if not from the county, probably someplace adjacent, with generally the same sensibilities. And for those who attended that were from further away, odds are they’re pretty ardent supporters already.
I’ll say this, I’m extremely confident, that Minnesota isn’t in play. I expect Trump to be smashed in the state overall. I wouldn’t even entertain a bet from you on that, because despite me being perpetually broke, I’d feel guilty taking your money. Lol

They have yet to come out with numbers on how accurate the testing for the 'rona really is. Lots and lots of documented cases of false positives and the other way around.

I’ll make a 1 way bet, you owe me nothing if I’m right, I’ll buy you a beer if you’re right. I think the riots, especially in states that were most damaged from them, have changed a lot of people’s minds. Here’s one I read earlier. Republicans out registering to vote in key states, in 2016 it was almost even.

Not I’m no mathematician, but if you lost the election in 2016, and more are registering to vote that way this election, I don’t see how you can win. Unless you cheat, which if either party does I hope it’s caught and they hang from a rope for it. If they devalue elections, we are all doomed, that’s when governments take over.

Trump announced he has tested positive for coronavirus.

I'm sure his critics will be praying for his speedy recovery.

My wife had to wake me up in the wee morning hours to tell me this.

"WTF do I need to know this now? Let me sleep, woman!"

Wow. Happened to me too. Well. Not YOUR wife. Mine.

Trump has the 'rona!

With respect to the first part, when trump held the Nevada rally (the one that had to be moved from the airport because of the governor's interference) one reporter I read on RCP interviewed people waiting to get in and found people who had driven from Arizona, Cali, Oregon, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming to hear him speak. I think you underestimate the man's draw as well as the man himself

Why does Biden like to keep plagiarizing British politicians so much? Even his campaign slogan is stolen

[actaeon277]

Build back better, sounds an awful lot like make America great again.

 

[actaeon277]

And, he's plagerized a LOT.

 

[Alpo]

So, you're one of those guys who wrote their own wedding vows?

You and Melania?

 

[actaeon277]

I don't have any wedding vows.

 

[Alpo]

I don't have any wedding vows.

Aren't we past the feigned pearl-clutching period?

There is an election at hand. Nits won't make a difference to anyone. Really just wasted electrons posting that stuff here.

It reminded me of this:

Betty Botter bought a bit of butter;

“But,” she said, “this butter's bitter!
If I put it in my batter
It will make my batter bitter.
But a bit o’ better butter
Will make my batter better.”
Then she bought a bit o’ butter
Better than the bitter butter,
Made her bitter batter better.
So ’twas better Betty Botter
Bought a bit o’ better butter.
