The rout will be on. For VP and the Coach of course. The only thing trump has going for him is election disrupters and the electoral college. That is the gop in all its glory.

Pretty much without doubt she gets the popular by at least a slim margin.

Electoral will be close, but opportunities have opened.

But as we have seen, it does not guarantee a win

I should have been more clear.

Will get 280 or less. As long as Harris has the majority, I am not too concerned with the specific number.

Imagine if she wins by 5 million votes, and wins the EV with 271 for her, and 267 for Trump. Then two Electors switch and it goes to the House. As each state gets one vote, they elect Trump anyway. It would tear the country apart.

Will select reliable electors who will not throw away victory.

Votes by faithless electors have appeared only when the victory is assured.

I don't see anything shaking the race anymore now that the conventions are over. I guess the debate could theoretically alter things so I'll make a firmer prediction after Tuesday. But for the time being, I'm guessing Harris wins the popular vote by 2-3 points and barely a majority in the electoral college.

So:

Harris: 49.7%
Trump: 47.5%
Other: 2.8

And 284 electoral votes.

VP Harris wins. call to action. Let’s remove the cancerous EC.

vote for a constitutional amendment to get rid of the EC?

Like winning WWII. But a worthwhile effort. Or we could just throw up our hands and cede our freedoms to the likes of whomever is currently in the gop.

I also assume that the Saints will have a tough game next week at Dallas. Should I advise them to stay home?

As Henry Ford said, whether you think you can or you can’t you’re right.

It almost happened in 2004.

might end up at Guantanamo but not the rest. Dick endorsing Harris just gets him a little higher level of Hell as far as I'm concerned.

Every one I know told me "good for him."

a quick learner.

I never knew that was even possible.

But it's the Electoral College vote that counts and I think Harris will get just over 300 EC votes. I think Georgia and North Carolina will be major factors in who wins. I can see TFG winning Georgia in a close race and Harris easily taking North Carolina. Both states have 16 EC votes it's a wash from the 2020 election.

A lot can still happen. But one thing for sure, there are times I wonder if I've seriously underestimated a significant portion of the population of this country's ignorant. From both my wife and myself as products of our history, exiles and refugees, things at times rhyme a bit too much.
