Also... I am not calling it for Trump yet. 2020 looked close until 2AM california time last year... I will reserve my judgement until PA (or WI/MI) is called. Looking great for Trump tho

Is it too early to ask this....


Should Biden have just stayed in the race? Would his chances really have been any worse?


Good question.  Ultimately in the end I don’t think it mattered if neither candidate was going to pull in the younger minority vote.

I mean Biden had his issues too. They would blasted him with old out of touch guy stuff.   He maybe wins a bit more votes . 

I’m dreading them putting RFK in an HHS Secretary role though, he belongs nowhere near that.

Im hoping this was just trolling and none of that happens...same with Kennedy.

No matter which side wins...we must pray for a competent cabinet.

If the "Blue Wall" collapses, this is verging into Reagan landslide territory.

Is Cali in play? Before anyone laughs, there's a shit ton of Republicans here.  I've always wondered if/when it would swing red again.

I’ll give him credit on that , In retrospect the first cabinet wasn’t bad at all.


You would know Cali better , but I just assume that the party and that apparatus is fucked up and fractured that it’ll take some time to build up there.

You want a good laugh?  Another site I frequent a lot pitched Newsom as the next dem candidate in 2028?  Lol yeah that will work.

Other than COVID which even I will admit was handled poorly... I felt like Trump's first term was fine. A lot of media hand ringing and frankly IMHO hoaxes... but no wars, good economy, didn't jail political opponents, etc.

I think this new term will be good God willing. Even if Kamala won I'd be praying for the USA, so let's hope we do well no matter what. Cheers everybody.

I didn’t think MI would be in play. I thought there was a great chance for NC, a good chance for PA, a slim chance for WI. The turnout has been insane, black men and Latinos have made 20% jumps from D to R since the last election. Just wow

Kamala had a strong lead since she got in the race, you can’t say she had a disadvantage. Her fall was that voters saw who she was the longer she campaigned.

Looking at the map...

She basically has to mop the floor with the remaining states.


They called Cali like 30 seconds after the polls closed.




I wish Trump and Mattis would make up. I'd love to see him as Secretary of Defense again.

I'm wondering what happened with the so called "Kamala Republicans".

A voting bloc that didn't show up?

I give you props on this .  I think she fucked up on the economy/inflation too. Everyone can understand that their (insert essential item here ) went up 5-10x as opposed to when Trump was in there .

You can say the economy is fine but you better be able to explain how you are going to fix that or why it went up so drastically.
