How do you gently caress up so badly that you put Utah in play? If I were in the RNC, I would be groveling at Romney's feet right now to not try anything funny.

Nessus posted:Doesn't NC have like 4x the electoral votes of Utah? I mean Utah, Nevada, they may be interesting and meaningful but they're giant slabs of desert we use for testing nuclear weapons. NC is more important on an electoral level but Utah is a hardcore GOP stronghold that the Republicans are never supposed to lose, ever. Losing Utah is one of the only things I can think of that would shock the GOP into changing course instead of doubling down every election cycle.

Trump getting 40% of the vote is irrelevant because this is America and not Europe, and 40% of the vote wins you nothing here.

Edmund Lava posted:Elements of both yes, but let's not pretend they're in equal measure. Race devide has been a part of our country since its founding. The 3/5 compromise didn't come from global trade but the view that black people were lesser. We didn't fight the bloodiest conflict (up until that point) in human history over tariffs, as some claim, but the recognition of black people as people and not property. I really hate this new trend of smug white brogressives saying "well actually the rise of Trump is because the people are tired of neoliberal policies, the elites are trying to distract you with identity politics  "Racism has existed in good financial times as well as bad, and it's not some coincidence that racist far-right movements are gaining popularity as white political dominance is waning. And then progressives wonder why minorities don't vote for the progressive candidates that consider their issues a "distraction".

waitwhatno posted:So what's the worst case scenario for a Trump presidency? A Trump presidency would have a Republican House, Republican Senate (most likely without filibusters), Republican White House, and full control of SCOTUS picks for a full generation. So no, there would not be checks and balances.

It's so nice of the Republicans to self-destruct two weeks after they could have prevented all this. I'm kind of impressed with how sudden and immediate Trump's collapse has been. It's like one of those GOP primary campaigns where the candidate has a honeymoon period only to abruptly flame out and get replaced, only the flame-out happened two weeks after the RNC and no one is coming to replace him.

I think it all depends on how far Trump collapses in the near future. GOP candidates rebuking him and the media giving up on the horse race this early is a big red flag that he's nearing the point of no return. A decent politician could turn things around from here, but Trump's reaction to pressure is to flip out and make things worse for himself, so I could see his death spiral get worse.

Raenir Salazar posted:What *is* potentially causing SC to flip if it doesn't have the population trends like GA and NC do? There's no polling in SC so it's all guesswork, but the conventional wisdom is that it's only slightly more red than GA, so any election in which GA is in play would make SC in play too.

Harrow posted:So I haven't paid that much attention to cable news coverage of the election recently. What's the media reaction been to Trump's new "on-message" style, like his Detroit speech? Is it the big turning point for Trump, or are people finally remembering that he's Donald Trump? From what I can tell, bad news for Trump keeps coming in so fast that no one really gives a poo poo about the speech.

Fun fact about that Mississippi River map that keeps getting posted: the river changes course so much that it shouldn't even be flowing through New Orleans anymore. The Atchafalaya River is naturally becoming the river's main outlet to the sea, and the only reason why New Orleans isn't situated on a dying bayou is because the Army Corps of Engineers have forced the Mississippi to keep running through there.

Boon posted:It's mostly past, but he was talking to the black community as if he was addressing a crowd of suburban white people (which he is) and discussing how the Democrats expect their vote for no return on policy (which is an actual sentiment that I've heard espoused). Trump is not trying to convince black people to vote for him, he's trying to convince white people that he (and by extension, they) are not racist.

The election is over and it's only mid-August Even Trump seems to be giving up, considering he axed the guy that was supposed to make him presentable to a general electorate and is trying to push a "the election is rigged and that's why I won't win" narrative. I wonder at what point does the GOP start actively running against him to save their own asses in Congress. HorseRenoir fucked around with this message at 08:47 on Aug 17, 2016 |
