Will never have a better chance.

Big question is whether they will learn?

Yep, it should have been a landslide. Personally, I think the Democratic Party went for completely the wrong candidate.

Biden is hands down the worst possible candidate in the world, excepting the asswipe he is running against. Awful choice and, if that really is the best they can do, a pitiful state of affairs generally.

I don't even think there was a decent candidate amongst the primary candidates, to be honest. Maybe Bloomberg. Maybe Klobuchar.

When I saw Obama campaigning recently for Biden, my spirits rose! That guy could inspire. That's what we need ... someone who can truly inspire. I don't care if they are good at policy; they can hire people for that ...

That's about it. After four years of what we had, millions of people want to vote for Trump again. And the opposition failed to put up a better candidate due to their conservative influences. It really is time for something else.

Looks like Wisconsin is going to go to Biden.

I like Wisconsin, we have family who live up there and the scenery is nice.

Plus Milwaukee has elected socialist mayors. We're not worthy, etc.

Not sure it’s that simple. I understand the concept of coattails, but it’s not everything. If the choice of presidential candidate was the major thing wrong with the democratic effort this election, why did the Dems do so disappointingly in the senate races and the house races?

If either of WI, MI, NV goes Rep, then PA has to go Dem (unless GA or NC come through for Dems).

(edit - corrected math for Nevada! - 6 not 10).

Looking at NY TImes, they have NOT yet called AZ. It's still looking good from my perspective, but it is still in play. NY times seems to have more up-to-date results than Politico. Not sure who 'feeds' each of them. This NYTimes page seems to be paywall-free:

EDIT - NYT has Biden at 227 Electoral votes.

CNN are stating 227 Biden, 213 Trump electoral votes.

Anyone understand this run-off senate election in Georgia? Why does it happen? When does it happen? My best buddy Raphael Warnock is asking me for yet more $$$ :lol:
