I mean Josh Hawley? DeSantis? Gaetz? MTG? Boebert? JD Vance? There's no one, which is why 2028 we might get an actual Democratic primary where policy matters again (though Harris will run as an incumbent so probably not until 2032 sadly to get real policy discussions). So we're waiting 8 years, but I'll take avoiding fascism for now.

Ricofoley Posted Friday at 07:08 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:08 PM A reporter just asked Trump about his relationship with Loomer and he gave a very rambling response where he said something about her being a "free spirit", so I think we're at like DEFCON 3 for the possibility that they're hooking up 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CastletonSnob Posted Friday at 07:42 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:42 PM It would be great if Harris won every swing state Biden won in 2020 AND North Carolina, Florida and Ohio, meaning Trump lost 8 states he won in 2016. I can't see the Republican Party holding on to Trump after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outsida Posted Friday at 07:52 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:52 PM 1 hour ago, CitizenVectron said: Perhaps. I hope the people who already foam at the mouth about immigrants are voting for Trump already. He needs to keep in mind there are 500,000 voting members of the Haitian community in Florida. I don't think Harris will win Florida, but no need to make enemies of entire ethnicities. You know many Haitians I know that were previously for Trump that are now silent?

Brick Posted Friday at 08:31 PM Share Posted Friday at 08:31 PM In the scenario that Trump loses the popular vote, but wins the electoral college, how much do Democrats push for the electoral college to be dismantled the next time they have the White House? Why didn't Biden push for it, or was there no point because there wouldn't be enough support from the House and Senate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricofoley Posted Friday at 08:39 PM Share Posted Friday at 08:39 PM They should push for it anyway, but the bar for getting a Constitutional amendment passed is basically impossibly high. An easier path is something like like popular vote compact, where states are just promising to assign electors to the popular vote winner, and I think it needs like 5 or 6 more states to hit the 270 threshold. That's still also not going to happen any time soon, though, and frankly I wouldn't really trust it holding up through the legal challenges to it if it were ever actually implemented Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5timechamp Posted Friday at 09:23 PM Share Posted Friday at 09:23 PM 2 hours ago, Greatoneshere said: I don't know that this is going to happen because Trump is a unique cult of personality - who do you see filling in the void? Republicans have nothing without that cult of personality in terms of followers/voters. Trump is highly unique and not replicable. I keep wondering about that… the “celeb, cult of personality” has worked for the GOP twice now with Trump and Reagan… I am curious to see who we are unknowingly building up as a brand who will turn to political and go insane…. Musk has some branding and Bizarro/Luthor wealthy sleaze energy building up… buy its always someone on the periphery……… i suppose Kanye checks off some GOP boxes lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why didn't Biden push for it, or was there no point because there wouldn't be enough support from the House and Senate? It would require one of two things. Either: 1. a constitutional amendment (not happening) 2. more states to sign on to the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact Option 2 is much more likely though still not going to happen in the current political environment. Additionally, were enough states to sign on, it would likely face legal challenges the first time it needs to be used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
