Place your bets here - Electoral College and Senate

just for kicks. i'm going to add a few celeb names in there. lol.

Like I mentioned to you, I’d really like to see the Republicans win the senate. I thought this might be a ray of hope. The only poll since the scandal broke, by WRAL, shows Cunningham with a 10 point lead though. I think the republican senators have been drug down by Trump’s debate performance and his Covid infection. I hope they’re able to rebound from that. Originally Posted by Tiny

One thing I'm wondering, and hoping for, is that even if Democrats control the Senate by a narrow margin, enough Dems from states that lean Republican (or only slightly Democrat) won't be supportive of the "green new deal," big capital gains tax increases, or any of the rest of the economic growth-impeding stuff pushed by the left.


Offhand, Joe Manchin of West Virginia comes to mind.


Are there several others who may be in this camp?

In addition to Manchin, Sinema and Tester might qualify. On particular policies we'll have some help from Democrats. Neither of the New Mexico Senators will support a ban on fracking. Warner's experience as a successful businessman may mean he won't be as radical on taxation as some of his Democratic colleagues.

If you're really interested in outlook for a capital gains tax increase, you might PM me after the week is over as I may have a bit of insight then.

Probably best for the country to have a 50/50 Senate.

Have a y of my Tea Party friends added up how much debt Trump has piled up? Hell it was bad when he had a GOP led House....now it's super charged.

Saw this on TheGatewayPundit site today. I had posted videos of both car parades elsewhere yesterday.

Last Saturday in Miami, a “Latinos for Trump” car parade featured 30,000 cars. Yes, I said 30,000. The next day Biden had a car parade in Miami. 15 cars showed up.

Elsewhere in the same article was a poll question about: Are you better off economically from previous administration. 56% said yes. BTW: Joe-mentia Hiden said: then those people should vote for someone else. Real man of genius!

By the way, that 56% is HIGHEST number in the history of Gallop asking “Are you better off?” Reagan was at 44% yet won a 49 state landslide. Trump is at 56%. But he’s losing? By double digits?


No wonder the Loony-Lefties always try to erase, cancel or rewrite history. It not only exposes them for the treasonous leeches they are, it also does not favor them in the slightest. David Chapman has searched through our history of elections and discovered several, let's say revealing, truth bombs that make the polls favoring Hiden Biden's chances akin to a snow cone in Hades.

Whole of the article is worth a read as he covers a broad range of historical (hysterical too) factoids, tidbits, references and generally abysmal news for the lecherous Demonicrats.

The One Metric That Has Decided Every Presidential Winner Since 1988...And Trump Has a Lock on It


Again, David Chapman and PollWatch are two good accounts that have been tracking the polling this cycle and cutting through the nonsense from the liberal media. There’s been a lot of funny business with the polling folks. Firms conducting polls around the same time but getting different results. We have shy Trump voters. We youth vote interest tanking in this election cycle to levels not seen since 2000. Some polls have one million fewer young people voting this year. But somehow Biden is going to win by like 12 points. It’s unreliable to the nth degree. So, what Chapman did was compile a thread that cuts through a lot of the liberal media silliness out there. For starters, he nixes the idea that bad economies kill incumbents. Yes, that was the case for Bush 41, but historically the incumbent party is 12-11 when facing re-election during an economic downturn.

And speaking of incumbents, Chapman added, “no incumbent who has received at least 75% of the primary vote has lost re-election. Donald Trump received 94% of the primary vote, which is the 4th highest all-time. Higher than Eisenhower, Nixon, Clinton, and Obama.”

Oh, and it gets better.


“Three times in history America has faced a pandemic, recession, and civil unrest during an election year. The incumbent party is 3-0 in those elections,” wrote Chapman “What about polls? Well, polls are predicting Trump's win. The ABC poll shows Trump with a 19-point enthusiasm advantage.”

He noted that every candidate who held the edge in voter enthusiasm since 1988 has won the election...

If the economy was the only issue on the minds of voters Trump would probably be victorious on November 3rd. It is not. Issues such as health care, immigration, racial inequality, the coronoavirus, violent crime, climate change, and foreign policy are also important to the voters. Also on the minds of voters is the perceived differences in character between Biden and Trump.

Here is the first poll I could find which compares Biden and Trump on key issues and character:

I did not think I would have to explain it to such a savvy political savant such as yourself.

If you'd focus on the whole of what I said and not cherry pick thinks that reinforce your own bias....you'd understand that for the longest,I've advocated for Democrat in the WH and GOP led House.

As someone who who thinks the biggest long term threat to this country is debt...that combination seems to work the purse strings better than any other.

Did you see how much debt Trump rang up even before Covid? It is on steroids now with the Dems holding the purse strings.

So you see dilbert as a 3/4 libertarian I prefer fiscal responsible government that is not telling women what to do with their bodies. That puts me at odds with both parties.

Hopefully that helps with any concerns you have with me wanting to get rid of Trump
its not the house America absolutely needs the GOP to control

for America to survive the GOP has to at least have one or both, the senate and presidency
