Sangoma had an excellent suggestion. How do you predict teh election will turn out? If the Senate goes 50/50, then the President's party wins. In 2016 FWIW, I believed the polls and went 0-3.

I think it's going to be a total bloodbath for the Republicans. Trump is looking more unhinged by the day. The Senate forcing Barrett through after they blocked Obama's pick by saying there shouldn't be a SC seat filled close to an election. Actual economy, not the stock markets, looking pretty grim for the lower working class. Social unrest like we haven't seen in maybe a generation. A pandemic that sees the US leading the world in infections and deaths.
People are hurting and they're going to lash out at the only ones they can - they're going to vote the current ruling party out of office and hope for something better. Doesn't matter where any actual blame lies. Of course, they fail to realize there isn't a C hair's worth of difference between the policies they'll get with a Democrat in the WH and Dems controlling both houses vs. the Republicans.
I honestly wouldn't be shocked to see ol' Turtle neck get shown the door. Lindsey Graham as well.

I just wish Pelosi would get the ax as well. She's one of the more useless human beings on the planet.

I think a lot of people are forecasting that outcome on both sides of teh aisle, but what odds would you lay on that? I'm surprised at how many people I know who are: quiet about their political preferences; willing to vote either way depending on the candidates; and are probably going to vote Republican in the next election despite a visceral dislike of teh Orange One. I've been surprised that immigrants and children of immigrants that I know seem to be leaning Republican this election-- I didn't expect that.

My suspicion (60/40) is that Biden's likeability relative to Trump will propel him to a solid victory, but I have no idea (pick' em) whether what that will mean in Senate and House races.

It ought to be an easy win for the Dems. But honestly their sheer incompetence at pretending to be regular normal people is shocking. If they lose the presidency it's 100% an own goal.

I'd go as high as 75/25 on Biden winning, but only 50/50 on the Senate getting flipped. I'm pretty confident in the House remaining solidly D and maybe picking up a slightly larger majority.
Apparently GA just set a record for opening day of our early voting. My hunch is that's not Trump people heading out to vote in their Orange God. That's people heading out to vote against him. If he loses a state like GA, he's toast in other states as well.

Pelosi's ice cream stunt on whatever late night talk show that was is a prime example. During the height of our economic lock down, she gets interviewed at home in her mansion in front of two refrigerators in her massive kitchen that probably cost more than my car. Then proceeds to talk about how her family is beating the coronavirus stress by having top shelf ice cream shipped in. While Americans were terrified of when their next paycheck might come, if at all. Unbelievable.

Polls moving into bloodbath territory, but not decisive. a 7 point polling error has happened twice, and if Biden's ~10 ahead in polls, the number is really +3 Biden on election day, then Trump is in range to lose popular vote but win E.C. No rule saying the polling error has to be in Trump's favor though.

I'd lay 5:1 on Biden and 2:1 on Democratic Senate all day long, but not 10:1 Biden or 5:1 Senate. There is time for stuff to change.

Prediction: Biden wins the popular vote going away. The EC numbers are a squeaker, but Biden eventually takes it. However, as soon as the first flyover state + Florida predict a Trump win on Election night, he gets on Twitter to declare victory. He continues to declare victory and fraud for the next 3-8 weeks, and it somehow ends up in the supreme court. He leaves kicking and screaming in January, having salted the earth on his retreat and dooming us to 4 more years of being split (roughly) down the middle.

Senate: close, but it flips.

What I predicted isn't what I want.
I've doubted our very stable genius president in the past and he's proven me wrong. I hope I'm wrong this time too.
A Biden win and a Dem senate is almost of USA event horizon significance IMO
I thought we might have a couple of hundred years left in a proud strong & prospersous constitutional US but that optimism is waning dramatically.

We are in this flip-flop era of going D-R-D-R...

That’s not normal, and needs pondering on why it is that way.

Not a Trump guy but he'll go close to Nixon in 1972 levels. Depressed black turnout and the Hispanics (esp mexicans) will break heavy towards him because they hate the mayates and DEMs went BLM. He'll get most hispanics ever for a GOP candidate.

I'm in mf'ing Biden ground zero territory and no signage or bumler stickers. The guy is just a loser.

The GOP will sandbag the House races to keep a leash on Trump. DEMs hold House.

GOP picks up 2-3 Senate seats.

GOP will probably remove Trump w/in the year like they did with Nixon but the formula is in place for a few decades of GOP dominance.

Anyone who thinks an incumbent is going to get blown out at an historic level by a broke dick old man is a cordycepted fool

I fully support a Von Doom administration. Latveria as 51st state of the Union! The new capitol is Doomstadt.

Imagine thinking a ~5% response rate makes for good polls.

Turdacious · Post by **Turdacious** » Sun Nov 15, 2020 4:38 am

So who got it right (assuming republicans win both senate seats in GA)? My overall prediction was right but I didn’t see republicans picking up this many seats in the house or outperforming trump in a lot of senate contests. At least this time I knew the polls were substantially flawed.

nafod · Post by **nafod** » Sun Nov 15, 2020 4:06 pm

Not me. I thought the senate would flip too. But too much antifa-ing and defund the police this summer. Knew that would hurt.
