Looking Good For Trump

[JosephZ]

The Michigan "flip" is by a measly 12,000 votes (2,511,000 to 2,499,000). And still 10% of the vote to be counted. Not saying it can't stay blue, only that the gap is too small to gloat over just yet.

Trump leads GA by over 100,000 votes, 92% reported. Could go either way.

Wisconsin is too close to call, they're separated by a mere 20,000 votes, with 3% still left to count.

NC is similar to GA, Trump is leading by a very small margin, 95% counted.

Most of the uncounted votes are in the urban areas and as the counting has been taking place through the morning they have been leaning towards Biden. In some cases strongly towards Biden. In the states that have Biden leading at this hour, his lead should continue to increase. In the ones where Trump still leads, the gap between the two should continue to close, and Biden may even take the lead. GA and PA will be very close, with Biden having an advantage in both. In the end neither of those states probably won't matter since NV, WI, and MI will get Biden to 270.

Joe Biden looks to be the next President of the United States with the electoral college vote ending up being either 291-247 or 307-231.

Anyone from Kentucky on here? I'm really floored that Trump got something like 62% of the vote in Kentucky!

It`s gone now. But I`m telling you it was there. LOL!

Fox front page turned MI red, although their count and detailed page on the presidential race didn’t support it. Same map on both pages, but MI different colors. Oops.

If each one holds their current leads .... the final tally looks like Biden 270, Trump 268. And SCOTUS will have something to consider from Trump for sure.

And you know a narcissist like Trump ain't gonna stand for that.

Nevada is still up in the air and could be the deciding factor.

If Trump can hold PA. That`s the big?

I can't say about Kentucky, but the analysis I've seen says people voted for Biden because of the pandemic and Trump because of the economy. To think that Trump will do better on the economy seems crazy to me, as does ignoring other serious problem with Trump, but it's probably economic conditions that drove Trump votes.

Yes but at this moment it is not looking good for Trump. Biden is up in Nevada, Wisconsin, and Michigan. If he takes those three it’s over.

It may not even come down to PA. If Biden holds his lead in WI and MI, then NV comes into play.

That is if he doesn't take GA or NC in the meantime.

The math looks better for Biden right now. Not much better, but better.

The culture war drives Trump votes. We might have another civil war before it`s settled.

That not what the surveys of voters are saying. I think it's also consistent with past evidence. There's a strong feeling among voters that because Republicans push things that favor businesses, they'll be better for the economy. These are actually two different things, as 2008 showed us, but neither voters nor the press really understands economics.

Rather than cut taxes for billionaires, Congress should have funded infrastructure. The same holds true now. The best way to spur recovery would be to cancel that upper end of the tax cut and fund infrastructure. I don't think that will happen, though, because it looks like Republicans will hold the Senate. Congress is more important to the economy than the President, though for some reason the President gets the credit or blame.

Republicans continue to favor tax cuts for the upper end, claiming "trickle-down economics," i.e. that it will cause investment and spur the economy. But there's excellent evidence that this doesn't work, including the most recent tax cut.

I have no idea why voters continue to think Republican ideas make sense.

It looks like it’s all about Nevada right now.

If things stay as they are and each win the states they're leading in and projected to win, Biden wins with 271 votes.

Rural America has many issues besides economics. Liberals are so far removed from reality that they cannot comprehend what traditional Americans are thinking, they prefer to insult us.

The Arizona governor is saying trump won Arizona by at least 30000 votes.

Highly unlikely. Polls showing Biden with a 4% lead.

Here's Krugman's view of the economic situation: Opinion | Why Biden Will Need to Spend Big. It seems right, but I don't think there's much chance it will happen.

Biden ran a reasonable campaign for himself. Maybe emphasizing the pandemic is all he could do. But he should have spent more time on the economy. It probably didn't cost him the presidency, but voters' belief that Republicans are good on the economy probably retained the Senate for Republicans. That's going to make it impossible to get a good recovery, and of course Republicans will blame Democrats for that in the next election.

Unfortunately the more Republicans are in control, the worse the economy will get, and voters will trust them to fix it. It's going to be very hard to get out of that.

Listening to the conservative radio they're pretty much claiming a Trump victory

On a sidenote Trump behavior is an embarrassment. Hes already crying conspiracy
