I get it. But still — I think there could be some misunderstandings involved in this latest spat (or maybe not), so maybe just move on or find another distraction in the thread at least.

There was no misunderstanding. That poster registered on this board and within 7 minutes had specifically come to this multi-hundred page thread and specifically directed their first three posts specifically at me, then pretended to be indignant and made up some bizarre story about being a woman, when I fired back, as I always do when someone thinks they want to spar with me. There was no misunderstanding. This is a returned poster with an alias who is here to lie and troll. I’m happy to get this thread back on track, but I’m not going to be trolled by anyone without responding in kind.

Not sure how they do that model, but unless I'm mistaken, a tie isn't really even possible unless something crazy happens with that Nebraska district. And last I saw, Kamala was way up there. This is not a tie election anyway, in my view, but it's especially dumb to show that when the result is pretty much impossible.

Yeah either the Blue Dot 🔵 would have to unexpectedly go red or the Maine red blob would need to go blue. There are other ways to get to a tie theoretically but those require unexpected results in non-swing states.
 
I'm just going to make three quick points on this stupid story and then never even think about it again.

1. Biden's intent seemed pretty clear to me.
2. Even as intended, Biden's comment was pretty dumb. He should know how things like that will be taken out of context.
3. I 100% agree with the comments here that MAGA focusing its ire on Biden in the last week of the campaign could turn out to be a good thing for Kamala. I seriously doubt that was Biden's intent, but if there's ever been a time where it could be a good thing to have a scapegoat, it's now.
 
The Republicans are so dysfunctional. You’d think they would for sure have told Mark Robinson that it’s over and he needs to go away. Cut him a check or whatever but get that clown off the stage.
 
So far, the one media outlet I’ve heard making a “big deal” about Biden’s gaffe is the BBC News Hour on NPR (9:00 - 10:00 am on WUNC). And, they aren’t making that big of a deal out of it…….and, BBC appears to do as much sane-washing and ‘bo-siding as any of the American mainstream media.

Been in that situation multiple times and I do indeed feel similarly.

One of the times that has happened to me was, in retrospect, funny. Nearly 20 years ago, I had my pericardium removed, due to, no surprise, pericarditis. Shortly after the surgery and after I was out of the cardiac care room, a doctor came in who I had never seen before. He introduced himself said he was an oncologist and he had the results from the tests they had conducted on my pericardium for mesothelioma. I must have blanched completely white, because he start stumbling over his words trying to get out that all the tests were negative. Once I had recovered my composure, I explained I was a lawyer and had taken a lot of depositions for use at trial of people who had mesothelioma and were not expected to make it trial. He sort of laughed and said something like he usually had to explain what mesothelioma was to folks, after he had told then they were negative.
