I can envision split ballots (Biden for pres. but (R) down-ballot) to keep the "radical left" in check.

It's more common than you or I would expect I think. It will be more common this election as people can't vote for Trump but can vote for a more 'normal' republican.

Sad that tommy tuberville who appears to not know that the voting rights act exists, is almost guaranteed a seat.

In 2016, besides promising me Hilary would win PA, 538 also promised me McGinty would beat Toomey.

I'm still aggravated.

Those were obviously extremely correlated and if you think 23% = 0% then I don't know what to tell you. You have about a 25% chance of rolling 5 or lower on two dice. You have a 25% chance of randomly choosing a spade from a deck of cards. It's on you if you took that number as 100%. If I remember 2016 it was more the rest of us morons (myself included!) were like LOL 23% YEAH RIGHT looking at other morons like the PEC and the Upshot. Though you could argue that the likelihood of a Trump victory was somewhere between like 10% (Upshot) and 40% with 538 in the middle.

Interesting (and infuriating) write-up on the Kodak "loan" that made big news a couple months back:

This seemingly bodes very well for Biden:

VA is blue though right?

You would be too if West Virginia and Washington D.C. were your neighbors

Yes, however the presumption has been that Biden voters are much less likely to physically show up at the polls versus Trump voters. This video footage seems to tell a different story. Granted, it is a small sample size.

The more Biden voters that show up at the polls or mail in their ballots at least a month in advance, the smaller Trump's lead will be the morning after the election as mail-in votes continue to be counted.

RE: Puerto Rican voter bribe payments, aka new disaster relief funding for 2017's Hurricane Maria:

Asked why he didn't approve the aid package years ago, Trump baselessly claimed in a Friday news conference that it was the Democrats' fault. "Very tough to get things passed, Democrats, where they don't want to see this happen," he said, though the reality is his administration held up aid to the island as he criticized its residents. The President also boasted that he is the "best thing that's ever happened to Puerto Rico" despite having criticized the island and its residents for years.

Hummm, you don't say...

The people of Puerto Rico are wonderful but the inept politicians are trying to use the massive and ridiculously high amounts of hurricane/disaster funding to pay off other obligations. The U.S. will NOT bail out long outstanding & unpaid obligations with hurricane relief money!

Of course he used his term that he uses to make sure you completely understand that he’s lying, he said no one has ever done more for Puerto Ricans than he has.

The weird thing of course is that that is all of the sudden true, except the reason behind it is that he is buying votes. $49 billion should value a lot of votes.

So the government was ready to send out 650 million masks to American citizens, but the White House torpedoed that.

The Hermain Cain twitter thing is still the oddest/creepiest things.

Tulsi Gabbard, definitely a progressive lefty and not at all some weird Manchurian candidate project of far right dictators around the world, has introduced a measure to ban “ballot harvesting.”

Man,Wray testified that Russia is a clear and present danger, and Trump is hinting that he might push him in front of a moving bus.

The Florida internal polling must be a disaster.

Is it enough to boost PA too?

Dafuq?

I don't usually agree with azrider on much but I think I see what's he's saying here. just this week the Russian bounties story was confirmed to be bullshit, no mea culpa from those who boosted it, or even acknowledgment. Dems run an impeachment designed to fail, then still cry that Trump needs to be impeached. Dems boost and protect sexual predators but expect Republican voters to clutch their pearls. at some point when both parties are so deep in the mud, this stuff only works on the base

Lol. That is patently false.

Are you morphing into a “both sides” guy?
