I'd like some of what he is smoking. I mean, I certainly hope he's right, but what he's saying certainly doesn't seem to match what everyone is seeing and hearing on all of the TV news networks. It seems as if everything is trending Trump's way.

Yep
 
Why in the world is the election results thread closed when no major network has called the presidency yet?

Somehow my edit to the thread title didn’t save. I locked it because people were getting heated and the race in PA had been called.

Yeah, so why is the thread locked? You need to exercise some judgment here and unlock that thread. You locked the single most important thread this board will have every 4 years because there is some infighting among the Democratic coalition and finger pointing about the loss? That’s going to happen on every thread for the next several months.

There were many great conversations going on in that thread. If there are some people making posts they shouldn’t be making, remove those, don’t lock the election results thread on election night.

The presumptive President elect is literally about to speak on election night and the thread to discuss it on is currently locked.

Will be good years for whatever party the Democrats become .. If votes happen.

But holy fucking God Democrats have to get dirty and get clear messages out to the idiots that vote against their own interest (Hispanic voters and women)

I see no evidence that we'll have good years in 2026 and 2028. Assuming best case scenario and Trump decides to willingly step down in 2028, we'll have JD Vance to contend with. MAGA loves him, and for all the talk about what a terrible VP candidate he was, his awkwardness and weirdness didn't have any negative effect at the ballot box. He'll be Trump 2.0, with less charisma and more intelligence.

Think about all the advantages we had in this election:

Supposedly a superior ground game.
More money.
Higher voter enthusiasm.
A strong finish the last two weeks while the other side made mistake after mistake.

None of it mattered. The Latino vote betrayed us, the black voters didn't show up (for a black candidate, no less), and that "hidden" Dobbs vote never materialized because when it's all said and done, Republican women still listen to their husbands and vote the way they demand they vote because they were conditioned to believe everything he believes.

And to make things worse, Trump's going to walk away with the popular vote. Look at the electoral map. More states are on the verge of tipping red in the future than tipping blue. For the first time in a decade, we have to admit that there are now more of them than there are of us. Even getting rid of the electoral college wouldn't have helped us last night. We're inexplicably outnumbered by a mass of people that support a 34 count felon who ended his last term by inciting an insurrection against our own government. And to top it off, he made GAINS with populations of our people that stand to lose the most when he takes over in January.

I'm just very disheartened. And to top it off, I have to head to work in an hour with basically a half an our of restless sleep under my belt.

I see Trump in the same way I see Obama. That his favorability and cult-like following doesn't translate.

Everyone thought 8 years of a charismatic AFAM would lead this country into a new age and well, it didn't. I don't think MAGA reforms this country to fit its image either. I just think Democrats chose poor opposition in 2 of 3 races against a unique candidate whose ability to say stupid shit seemingly stuck with a large portion of the electorate.

The evangelicals quite simply out bred the liberals. Same story as in Israel. This is why religion is still around
