Yeah. They clearly have to reweigh it. Also, I wonder how much of it is just donald trump. He wasn't on the ballot in 2018 and let's see how the midterms are in 2022. Those seemed to be much more accurate. Then we have to see how things are in 2024.
WHY TRUMP WON'T CONCEDE
Photo by ALEX EDELMAN/AFP via Getty Images
Joe Biden is the president-elect. Biden won or has significant leads in states that represent 306 electoral votes — far more than the 270 needed to win.
Biden leads by about 10,000 votes in Georgia and 17,000 votes in Arizona, the two most closely contested states. But even if Biden's lead were to somehow be reversed in both states, Biden would still win comfortably.
Every major media outlet, including Fox News, has called the election for Biden. Major international leaders have offered their congratulations. The coverage has largely moved on to Biden's transition. But yet, Trump has refused to concede.
Why? Part of the explanation is narcissism. Trump is having a hard time acknowledging that he lost, even though it is obvious. But another big factor is money. The proof is in the emails.
After Election Day, the Trump campaign sent more than 130 emails soliciting campaign contributions, according to a tally maintained by the Twitter account @TrumpEmail. Most of those emails appear to be soliciting funds to support the legal effort that Trump claims will reverse the results of the election.
The increasingly desperate subject lines of these emails paint a clear picture that the money is essential to contest the results.
But if you read the fine print, money sent to the Election Defense Task Force will not necessarily be used to finance the Trump campaign's lawsuits. Donors are actually contributing to the Trump Make America Great Again Committee (TMAGAC), a joint fundraising committee of Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. and the Republican National Committee. 60% of the money donated to TMAGAC will go to pay the Trump campaign's debt and 40% will go to the general operating account of the Republican National Committee. Money is only designated for recounts or other legal efforts if an individual donor reaches their legal limit or Trump retires his debt.
Contributions directly to Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. will be split between debt retirement and the recount effort. But the Trump campaign hasn't sent a solicitation from Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. since November 3.
No one knows how much money Trump is raising from this gambit. But the campaign has tens of millions of email addresses. If even a small fraction of the list is responding to these appeals, the campaign is raising millions of dollars each day.
If Trump concedes, that money would come to a halt. You can't pretend to raise money for a legal challenge once you admit you've lost.
The sorry state of Trump's election lawsuits
Trump isn't devoting this new cash to fund his legal challenges to the election results, and it shows. Most of the lawsuits the campaign has filed have been dismissed by the courts. In one case in Michigan, lawyers representing Trump made basic errors in submitting their appeal. The filing was rejected as "defective."
The initial case was dismissed after Trump's "legal team submitted a sworn affidavit by a designated poll watcher who repeated a rumor that she heard from an unidentified person about what some 'other hired poll workers at her table' allegedly told her."
"Come on now," the Michigan judge said before throwing out the suit.
In Pennsylvania, the Trump campaign continues to claim that its observers in Philadelphia were excluded from watching ballots be counted. In court, however, a Trump lawyer admitted there were observers in place. So who would make such a claim? The main witness featured at Trump's campaign press conference is a registered sex offender from New Jersey:
On Monday, "the Trump campaign unveiled a new lawsuit repackaging debunked claims that poll workers gave Trump supporters markers—knowing that those markers would bleed through ballots and that the ballots would not be counted, and all to help Joe Biden win Arizona."
The lawsuit is essentially the same as a lawsuit filed days ago by a group of conservative lawyers, based on a conspiracy theory known as "Sharpiegate." The premise of the lawsuit, that using a Sharpie will invalidate a ballot, is false.

That lawsuit was quietly withdrawn. The primary difference between the Trump campaign's new lawsuit and the previous one is that, while the initial lawsuit focused on "Sharpies," the revised lawsuit refers to "markers."
In the evening, the Trump campaign filed a sweeping lawsuit in Pennsylvania that does not allege any fraud but argues the state should be prevented from certifying its election because it allowed people to vote by mail.

I agree, but a moderate Democrat is better than a far-right Republican. In the Senate, at least.
Manchin does the right thing when he's needed too. Sometimes he just has to huff and puff because he's a Democrat in one of the most conservative states in the country. Any other Democrat runs for that seat and it easily flips to the Republicans. Look at the senate margins now, if the Democrats win both seats in Georgia, a seat like Manchin is the difference between Mitch McConnell running the senate for another 2 years and Joe Biden being able to get anything done.
Exactly! If you gonna caucus with the other side and vote with the other side most of the times why do the party need you?
Democrats said the same thing about Trump in 2015 and look where we are.
It's just like Collins for the GOP. The base moans and groans about her postering with the press, but she consistently delivers the vote when the GOP needs it. Mitch gives her the cover to say certain things to appease her moderate state population because they know she needs to walk a fine line to win her state.
Fixed that for you.
Look where we are? With a one-term POTUS who just took a historic L? I blame that on Hillary and Comey more than anything Trump's family has done. Had Hillary not been arrogant and actually campaigned in the swing states, Trump likely wouldn't have backed his way in. Let the GOP hand the keys over to Trump. He's already de facto running it anyway. He'll bleed it dry for his personal use. Trump will be lucky to be a free man in 2024.
So did Obama and Clinton run as liberals or centrists?I don't think the political views are as important as how you manage your caucus. The leader doesn't need to be progressive. The leader needs to understand how to harness the power of her base. The GOP would never shit on their right-wing version of AOC.
Also, how in the hell have yall been tricked into thinking the country is CENTER RIGHT?
If the country was center right the GOP wouldn't consistently lose every national election in terms of the popular vote.
When you look at the polling on issues, the right LOSES on the views. They win on messaging. The GOP knows how to campaign.
Democrats winning 7 out of the 8 last President Elections by millions of vote invalidates any argument that the country is center-right.
Districts are gerrymandered beyond recognition which favors the GOP. The EC overvalues rural white votes so that Dems have to win national elections by 6 points just to be competitive. The Senate is rigged so that all white rural states like North Dakota and South Dakota have 4 Senate seats despite collectively having less people that fucking Brooklyn
The game is rigged for the right. The country itself isn't right or even center-right.
There are a hundred senator in this country (2 in each state). Senators run statewide elections (no gerrymandering involved) and if this country was so liberal. Then senate would be dems controlled with a liberal as the leader. Yet the reality is different. Yes house seats are gerrymandered (more so in some states than others) but let's not forget that got those who control the legislature, control the redistricting. Well once again if people lean more liberal. Then why are there more liberal controlled legislature and govenors?
The bottomline is people care about their wallets and pocket books and when they hear the words liberal/progressive they know their going to be empty their pockets. So while people may agree with some liberal/progress policy. People disagree with paying for every thing liberal/progressive dream up.
Btw being center to center right is not about party. One can be a conservative and a democrat. Just one can be a liberla republican.
This isn't your argument. You are arguing that the country was right or center-right. If it was, the GOP (which is right, center right) would easily win the popular vote every time. That's just a matter of fact. They lose the popular vote by millions every 4 years and it's starting to become a larger gap because the country is not only NOT center-right, it's moving more left with every generation.
Everything else is about running campaigns, messaging, etc. However, the popular vote is the only thing that matters in regards to determining there the voting population is. Polling on the views indicates that the U.S. is not right or center-right and the actual vote confirms it. And neither Clinton or Obama ran as center or center-right. They ran as standard democrats who are generally left on the major views and play to the center on certain topics to grab independents.
A 'centrist" democrat is still left of center. A "centrist" democrat is another term for a moderate. A moderate is still left on most political issues. A "centrist" republican (which is kind of a redundancy at this point) is right-wing in the political spectrum.
Let me help you out so that you stop believing this myth https://www.nytimes.com/2017/11/01/opinion/democrats-economic-policy.html https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2016/01/why-america-is-moving-left/419112/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...s-moved-left-so-has-us-this-explains-how-why/
You don't run as a "base" politician because you want to expand your map as much as possible. Trump lost because he ran as a right wing candidate in the country isn't right wing. Even the EC wouldn't protect him as he went even more right-wing for his re-election. Obama and Bill Clinton knew how to run on base politics but also appeal to the center. That's why they won. However, their base politics were left of center and that's not even up for argument.

Any ideas on messaging?
Yall do exactly what pollsters and talking heads on tv do. Too much talking and thinking. The average voter doesn't know shit about shit and getting them to the polls to fill out a circle is hard enough as is. Education is not a priority in this country. We need to teach things with pictures not words. Tv and years of brainwashing has done wonders for Republicans. Its like getting children to learn why wiping their ass properly is good for them.
I just can't believe the amount of grift. I always knew it was there but I thought it was mostly race soldiers and Christians. The grifters have taken over. They failed in real estate so they went into politics.
He can't help himself. I'm hopeful that he will say something to derail their support prior to the January election. Going all in on Twitter to encourage him to say something... 45 Don't align yourself with these crooks - they encouraged the election fraud that's happening now.... etc. etc.
There is no electoral college involved senate elections. This isn't about the electoral college. There are 50 states and each get two senators that are elected by the popular vote.
Are far as dems winning the presidency. Once again being center to center right has nothing to do with party. Neither Clinton or Obama ran as liberals and both ran as centrist.

It not a flawed argument at all and you didn't answer the question. You deflected from it (as well as the rest of my post) .
The answer is no, they did not run as liberals.
It's like he doesn't understand the electoral college and the rural advantage in the Senate and gerrymandering.
The country is definitely left of center. Otherwise, the Democrats wouldn't have won 7 out of the last 8 popular votes with that gap continuing to increase.
The problem is that the EC, gerrymandering, and 2 Senate seats per state regardless of population rigs the game in advantage for rural whites..who themselves tend to lean to the right. That's all the shit is. It's minority rule. The majority of the popular is factual LEFT OF CENTER. That's not up for debate.
Son, you don't understand this. And your point above proves it. North Dakota, which has less than 1M people has the same number of Senators as Californa which has 40M. South Dakota also has the same number as California despite having only 1M people.
Now the GOP has 4 Senators to the Dems 2. Does that mean we're more right of center because they have more senators. No muthafucka! It means the game is rigged where 1.5M rural Americans who tend to be right of center have more power than 40M who tend to be left of center.
Asa a whole, the country's population is left of center. The GOP has rigged the game where their votes count more in national politics because of the GOP and they've gerrymandered the country to death where they also control more state legislatures despite the Dems winning more votes in the House too.
You don't know what you're talking about. Your premise if flawed and you're going to keep drawing wrong conclusions because your start is all fucked up.
I'm not going to continue to argue with someone who doesn't understand the rudimentary facts on this.

Cue up Bloomberg's billionaire clap on Trump.
First of bitch I aint your son (so watch ya mouth). Secondly population size doesn't matter. What I am discussing is how people vote within their individual state/districts. Republicans control most of the state legislature in this country.Son, you don't understand this. And your point above proves it. North Dakota, which has less than 1M people has the same number of Senators as Californa which has 40M. South Dakota also has the same number as California despite having only 1M people.
Now the GOP has 4 Senators to the Dems 2. Does that mean we're more right of center because they have more senators. No muthafucka! It means the game is rigged where 1.5M rural Americans who tend to be right of center have more power than 40M who tend to be left of center.

This will never happen. There are two types of Trump supporters, open racist and closet racist. As long as black folk keep the spotlight on inequality, em fucks will always be the enemy.
Listen. Dems know how to govern but they don't campaign well (that's what OAC is trying to explain to them). The GOP doesn't even want to govern but they know how to campaign and they have an inherent advantage because of the EC, gerrymandering, and because they have all those little states with no fucking people that still get 2 Senators.
But... look at something simple and how they stay on message.
Right now, every GOP power broker who is speaking publicly right now is repeating the same mantra (we want to count the LEGAL votes). There is no such thing as illegal votes. It's all bullshit. However, they get two things from it. It helps placate Trump and if they repeat it enough, the paranoia can help then push through more voter suppression laws. Which is all they want to do. Also, it doesn't sound so bad when "you're just doing it so that you can protect the election from illegal votes". They know it's bullshit but it's good messaging.
On the other end, the DEMs actually bit in the "Court-packing" bullshit. They literally let the GOP walk them right into it. That sounds bad to voters.. and it's ironic because that's exactly what Mitch has been doing.
What would the GOP had done.. they would have called it "Court fairness" and if you opposed them, you'd get hit with the "what do you have against court fairness". It's all messaging.
Look at who well done those Lincoln Project ads hit compared to the democrats.
Dems don't know how to stick to 2-3 three things and perfect that pitch and run it into the ground.
Trump did well because he repeats the same shit nonstop. But he understands basic marketing.... that people often have to hear something 7-8 times before they'll even pay attention much less take action.
Dems have to find the top issues that move the party and drive that shit home. They're always sharing around lots of bullshit.
You don't understand this shit, son. I'm telling you. Go educate yourself. As long as you keep thinking that the country is right or center-right, when it's clearly, factual not, you're gonna keep confusing correlation which causation and ranting.
I didn't say the country is liberal either. You also struggle with reading comprehension.
I'm telling you, I'm not going to continue to argue with a muthafucka who doesn't have the sense to understand basic concepts about WHY Republicans control more state legislatures DESPITE getting fewer votes than democrats in the very states they control.
It's like you don't even understand what gerrymandering is.
In at least 3 states, the GOP Lost the popular vote but won the House:
Do you understand what that means, son? It means that those states are controlled by the right, but democrats (left) actually got more votes. That literally means those states are left-leaning, but practices (which should be illegal) give power to the minority party (the right).
The right controls them but they aren't right-leaning populations which a simple fucking point that seems to go right over your head.
The country actually (that's a fact not up for debate) is left of center. However, the GOP has a major structural advantage through the EC, gerrymandering, a non-population-based Senate system that the GOP exploited... like when they literally split Dakota into two states SOLELY to get 2 more Senate seats. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/09/when-adding-new-states-helped-republicans/598243/
