That's the way I took it, too. That he was going to take out the garbage, which is for MAGA anyone that isn't a straight white Christian nationalist.

It was probably the most mindblowingly stupid mistake a campaign has made in the closing days of the race in modern political history. I’m not including scandals or news stories, just things campaigns have CHOSEN to do. In my mind, it’s way worse than Dukakis in the tank.

I don't know. I'm not sure it's in the top 5 stupid mistakes Trump has made this election. MSG was stupider. The on-display misogyny. Putting Lara Trump in charge of the RNC.

But if we take Trump out of the equation, the garbage truck stunt was indeed the most idiotic thing I can remember.

I have a feeling it he's convicted in Georgia that Kemp will pardon him though.

Let's see how toxic he is by that time. It's not hard to imagine people's loyalties disappearing if he's a big loser. Hell, look how many of his first administration did it over principle. The less profit seems likely , the stronger principle gets in politics.

That was on the Saturday after the election, right after the networks all called it for Biden.

Yes, but it was still an example of Trump's and everyone in his orbit's ineptitude. That's been the real secret weapon for the Dems. Or I guess I should say not secret. The guy is a moron who surrounds himself with morons. Shit like this was bound to happen. And it has...

The first step is going to be the local election boards that have election deniers on them. Can you certify Michigan +4 if a few rural counties won’t certify the local vote? Even though they’ll be big Trump leads I expect fuckery like this to hold up the overall state certification.

Can someone opine on something like this? Don't really care too much about states that are totally red. But how would this play out in the Blue Wall, or areas like Arizona or Nevada.
In other words, is it at all feasible that this election could come down to Congress voting on who is President?

That would end America. So they can try, but that would be it

short answer is yes with a 268-268 EC. I think that is highly unlikely. The winner will get a minimum of 276 EC votes and probably over 300 EC votes

Of course if it is 269-269 the house will select Trump.

If Trump has to win I would prefer that he is the clear EC winner with 300+ votes and that he will lose the popular vote by 10 million votes. In that scenario maybe a consensus in the country will demand the elimination of the EC

Harris might win with 270 (AZ, NV, GA, and NC go to Trump); Trump might win with 272 (AZ, GA, NC, and WI go to Trump and NV to Harris). In both scenarios, Harris wins Pennsylvania.

It’s not going to be 268-268.

It’s coming down to Pennsyltucky and lily white Wisconsin.

I just don’t see Harris winning GA, NC, or AZ.
