My prediction is...no prediction. Nate Silver's final model has the two candidates at 50:50 odds to like four significant digets. The Economist's model: 50:50. 538 says 50:49 in favor of Harris. The betting markets are favoring Trump with odds of about 60:40. So I guess if I had to place a bet, which given how close the foredasts are, I wouldn't, I'd go with the betting markets and bet on Trump.
Ask them would they leave their daughter alone, overnight in the company of a rapist?
They don't mind. He's repeatedly said his supporters are stupid - and they cheer him.
They dress up as garbage after all. They don't have as much respect for themselves as they have goggled-eyed adulation for their Dear Leader.
And wear adult nappies, and bandages on their ears, and .... - but it's really not a cult....
Repeat after me: “We are not a cult!”
The greater good
Oh he panicking. Well not he, whatever aide wrote that tweet.
I sure hope his supporters don't hand out water to people waiting in line at the polls or something. 'cuz that would be illegal, you know. At least in Georgia.
Who said anything about comfortable? I'm a ball of anxiety right now. I'm going to be disappointed in the outcome pretty much no matter what happens, because Harris has ticked every "this is how you win" box and Trump has ticked every "this is how you lose" box, and yet here we still are with the polls insisting on a coin flip. I'm comfortable saying the polls have been biasing themselves toward Trump to some degree, but anything less than a Mondale '84 landslide is still going to reflect badly on the American people as a whole. If Trump and couch ◊◊◊◊◊◊ are this hard to beat, how screwed are we going to be when someone mildly competent takes the reins?
I have a cure for your current anxiety: accept that Trump will win the election. Take it as a given. What we fear is always easier to take once it is actually upon us, it's the uncertainty of it that's a major cause of our anxiety. Adopt the posture that he's won, and that anxiety goes away.
