The likely next governor of Texas? Did I miss some really big news? Abbott (63) is younger than Patrick (70), Abbott is much more popular than Patrick, and there are no term limits in Texas. Sure Patrick could try to become governor, but a lot would have to happen. It’s improbable, not “likely”. 

 

Of course I despise Patrick. He’s a nut. 

Yeah, that didn't track with me either. He's extremely partisan and with the shift we've seen in Texas, I am doubtful that he could win. But, then again, I know next to nothing about Texas politics at the statewide level.

That dude has a punchable face and her name is Krystal Ball, but otherwise what they were saying was fine. Including calling out the incompetent coup, Trump losing twice and the overreaction to Pompeo's horrible joke.

White House acting as if Trump won election, proceeds with February budget plans - The Washington Post

WWW.WASHINGTONPOST.COM

Budget proposals are offered in February, and President Trump is set to leave office on Jan. 20. “They’re pretending nothing happened,” one government official involved in the...

 

Hold on. Is the new Trump strategy to pull a Costanza/Larry David and show up on January 21st like they're still in power?

I have compared Trumpism to pro wrestling before.

 

What everyone, including the GOP, needs to understand is that Trump is Hulk Hogan.

 

He will never "pass the torch" because he has no conception of the idea that "his time has passed".

 

He could be 85 on his 6th heart attack and still look around and genuinely think he was the best guy for the job.

I think Trump could be the 2024 favorite if he runs. Yes he lost and he lost bigly, but he's the best thing to happen to the GOP since Reagan. Pre-Trump the entire narrative was how demographic shift meant that the GOP was going to be extinct in the next decade. Instead, they have a candidate that has widened their base in almost every single demographic. The trick is that I think he's the only one that can do it and I don't think shoving a Tom Cotton out there and having him do a half-assed Trump impersonation would work at all.

Really? I dunno, been going through his videos and they are hilarious. Too much??

For me the bit got old really quickly, but ymmv.

Yes, thank you! Everyone should watch this, it is cathartic. I wish I had been following him these last 4 years!

I can assure you, as someone that has been following him for at least the last 4 years, a little Michael Rapoport goes a LONG way.

I want the fucking 306. Especially because they're going to do everything they can to hold this thing up in the courts. 

Nobody wanted to be the first. It is hilarious that CNN was the one to do it.

So it's tightening again? Or is this bad news dressed up like good news for Trump?

At this point they are not calling it to appease president manbaby.

Biden probably holds off on his event for another day, right? He's already being treated as the Pres-Elect in the ways that matter, going on TV and declaring himself the winner before anyone else (except Decision Desk) seems like a bad move to me.

The left turned on him because he farms his own meat. Lamb if I remember correctly. Thats when it started. Then there was his church.

Super sensible. Nothing wrong with that kind of fanaticism at all.

Chris Pratt has never openly discussed politics, anyone saying he's a trump supporter is just basing it on the fact that he's openly Christian and he chose not to take part in a Biden fundraiser. He donated money to Obama's campaign in 2012.

 

He may be a Trump supporter. He may not. I found it crazy that so many people got up in his business because he didn't attend a fundraiser.

He's more or less married to a Schwarzenegger/Kennedy, I honestly doubt he's a Trump fan.

When PA finally tips over into the blue, all @Chollowa and I have to say is:  "You're welcome!"

YOU'RE GODDAMN RIGHT! 

Although, the voters probably had something to do with it as well!

Bidens lead shrinks in AZ

I'm seeing it as 1.5% or about 46k votes. Percentage reported only ticked up by 1% to 90%. Honestly, I have no idea if that's good or bad for Biden. I'd assume bad? 

I still think Biden's best path is through AZ + NV. I can't wrap my head around GA or PA going blue at this point, even if the counts are shrinking quickly.

Over what?  The Arizona thing?

I'm guessing they are talking about Fox calling AZ for Biden hours before anyone else did it.

Is this correct I was going to post asking why we hadn't seen the percentage go up on any website even though the vote count kept being adjusted. The NYT still shows it as 86% reported.

Yeah, but the waiting for the next batch of votes to drop is nerve wracking. I know Biden still has a path without AZ, but it's already too close for comfort.

I get it I'm worried about what that 1am vote brings in terms of how much the 80k shrinks. But I'm extremely cautiously optimistic that the lead holds even if it's destined for a recount/court.

Arizona is making me nauseated.

It's still an 80k vote margin, right?

8 minutes ago, GeneticBlueprint said:

One thing to keep in mind with AZ is that it is full of old people who have always voted by mail. So don't get too comfortable with those recent numbers not being enough for Trump.

I hate to be a chicken little but that AZ news was not good for Biden. 

Not only that but the 538 live blog combos bad FL news with bad PA news (Biden won't have the margin that HRC had in Philly).

And I am stressed again.

Georgia is the best hope to send a message of some sort to the GOP. We failed in Texas.

It would be great to just secure the (projected) victory before trying to send messages.

That's 46k votes, there's a chance that Trump holds on in GA right? Fuck a duck.
