Impeachment by house then impeachment trial by senate then either remove or not remove vote. 3 easy steps.

I should have said,
“Just like it looked like Trump would be removed via impeachment to the sheople gulping down the fake MSM narratives.”

I think most of us realized his republican buddies in the Senate would cover for him.

Trump was never going to be removed. Never ever in a million years.

If that holds true, you would see senate seats like SC, GA, MT, and KS go blue, not just ME, AZ, and MI.

Georgia has two seats up for grabs.

Cook says +7 for dems.

I”ll go +5

If trump only polls 40% of the vote the republicans are in huge trouble.

But it’s an outlier. Think 10% is about right 15 days out.

Allan

10% would be a blowout.

538 currently has Biden at +10.8% nationally. RCP is 8.9%.

AmusedObserver:

10

I will revise my prediction

Biden 53.8%
Trump 44.8%
Other 1.4%

Early returns in Florida show the pre-Election Day electorate is currently trending younger than four years ago.

Florida voters under 65 years old accounted for about half the ballots cast, marking a 12-point uptick compared to this time in 2016.

I will assume this is good news for Democrats.

Axios – 18 Oct 20

What early voting can (and can't) tell us about the election

Democratic strategists think they are seeing a 2020 electorate that will be younger and more diverse than 2016.

matt1618 · 2020-10-20T03:23:59.780Z

What percentage in 2016 when the avg was more than 6? About the same now.

matt1618 · 2020-10-20T03:38:32.582Z

Probably right but if he nabbed Nevada, latest down by 1, but he’d have to hold everything else. Pennsylvania is closer, attack on fracking, court packing might help.

RCP now has Biden up by 6.2 points in Wisconsin. RCP had Clinton up by 6.5 points in 2016. Polling was wrong in Wisconsin in 2016 mainly due to the oversampling of college educated whites and undersampling of non-college educated whites. And voter turnout was low in Wisconsin during the 2016 election.

Polling was pretty accurate in NH and Arizona during the 2016 election. RCP had Trump up by 4 points in Arizona and Trump won Arizona by 3.5 points. In NH, RCP had Clinton up by 0.6 points and Clinton won NH by 0.3 points.
