Christ, the wait is killing me

Why would you take out 15% of the country out of your calculations?

Following my mostly-correct electoral college prediction in the prediction thread, I confidently make the following prediction about the SCOTUS:
Thomas steps down next week and is replaced by a 45 year old Trump nominee. Breyer dies in 2021 and McConnell refuses to hold nomination hearings. The next Republican packs the Court anyway.

Why not every single Republican Judge in the entire judiciary step down and get replaced by 20 year olds or pack the court now? Just have 2,000 20 year old Supreme Court justices. Trump will make it happen tomorrow.

Anyway you predicted a Republican victory. I don't see how you have been proven correct or even mostly correct Though I hope you are right about the Pennsylvania thing.

The fact most analysts seem pretty confident about Biden turning PA is the only thing that keeps me from flipping out given the thin margins elsewhere.

Relax. Nothing is happening very fast anyway. Plenty of time to flip out later.

I've kinda accepted now that US internal politics will be a highly polarized mess for some time to come. I'm not sure what would be required to overcome that, but I'd expect it will either be a long, gradual process, or a very sudden, ugly one.

It wouldn't be enough to turn me fully Republican. But every four years I watch American news channels - and I kind of hate the media after just a few minutes

I say we all unite against the common enemy.

Um...hrm....China I guess.

The news channels are garbage and have always been. I hate all of them. They are so insufferable.

Not sure what that has to do with being a Republican. They have their own equally shitty ones.

For dishonest reasons.

Are you talking about me and California? I phrased myself badly, as usual. I was sitting around and thinking that the entire popular vote difference can be explained by California. Horribly enough it actually seems quite even in the rest of the US.

Yeah but Fox has better production. And (for a foreigner) far better/funnier adverts.

I'm pretty much done worrying.  Arizona is either in the bag or almost there.  Then Nevada makes 270.  Either or both of Georgia and Pennsylvania would be gravy and get us closer to the blow out category.

I'm bummed Trump and Joni Ernst won in Iowa and I'm bummed we didn't flip the Senate, but I'm as sure as Joe Biden sounds that we'll win the White House.

I can still worry when they put this on NYT: Jennifer Medina, in Phoenix 30m ago
In the latest results, Trump hit the percentage he needed to stay on track to potentially win Arizona, but it may not hold. The next Maricopa release is not expected until Thursday night.
