Count me in as a younger (even though I am 41) generation who isn't keen on these long term politicians. Pelosi has been in the House since I was like 8.
I'd like to have more of my generation and younger and less of my grandparents generation. Sen. Feinstein as well, she has been in office since my childhood. Terms limits would be good, but how do you the lawmakers to term limit themselves? They don't seem keen on doing it. Adding amendments is a lengthy and difficult process. Decades these days. |

I'm 76 and I am tired of old farts running the country. It would likely require an amendment to the Constitution. That was what had to be done to term limit the President. The 22nd amendment.

You can't stand until 35. You shouldn't be allowed to stand over 65. It's basic common sense.

I'd go 60 as the oldest you could run. If you serve 2 terms as Pres, you are out at 68.

Looking at the NBC map, Georgia is close 49.8 Trump and 49 Biden.
Very close Biden 18500ish behind 200kish to count. So 55% ISH sees a Biden win... Mostly mail ins to count I believe. |

Tightening up in Arizona too, although I haven't done the maths.

GA is pushing towards turning blue at this point - the counties with large numbers of vote left to count are Dekalb, Gwinnett and a couple of other Atlanta Metro (ie heavily blue) counties, along with Savannah (also heavily blue)
Very unlikely to outside the 1% recount zone though.

Very tight. And at least some Republicans looking to disqualify every vote there they possibly can.
Yeah. I don't expect Biden to be any kind of saviour but getting Trump out is crucial to at least starting to be able to be normal again. |

It's not much to write home about, is it. |

Alabama Sen. Doug Jones (Democrat) Arizona Sen. Martha McSally (Republican) Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner (Republican) Florida Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell (Democrat) Rep. Donna Shalala (Democrat) Iowa Rep. Abby Finkenauer (Democrat) Minnesota Rep. Collin Peterson (Democrat) Oklahoma Rep. Kendra Horn (Democrat) New Mexico Rep. Xochitl Torres Small (Democrat) South Carolina Rep. Joe Cunningham (Democrat) That's an awful lot of Democrats losing their house seats! So how bad is this loss going to be in the house? How big was their margin previously? If Trump loses, and yet Republicans gain in the House and hold the Senate, this would seem to be very much an 'anti-Trump' election and not a pro-democrat or anti-republican election. PS - that should really, really hurt Trump's ego! Not in your list are at least one, if not more, Dem losses in New York. Republicans took back the Staten Island seat, and possibly one or two more will be lost, but NY is slow to count all the postal votes etc. But in general the republicans had a good day throughout New York, certainly in my neck of the woods (solid Trump territory) all the Republican incumbents increased their majorities ... Trump did too. |
Re: 2020 Election
Ultimately, without some bizarre mix-up in voting in a tight State, ala Florida in 2000, given the Electoral College system, Trump can moan and visit the Courts all he likes, but eventually they'll decide for him. That's how it works, right? He'll basically have a month to try and get something overturned, which is pretty tight without said monumental problem, which we'd likely be hearing about already rather than "not enough watchers" type stuff.
Philly is really just winding him up now, isn't it? I'm sure they've got piles of Votes counted and ready to drop whenever they feel like (I know they don't, but it's fun to consider). |

Eric Trump is just a chip off the old block; trying to help the old man in his hour of need:
