President tells Fox & Friends ‘maybe they’d give it back to the states’ regarding 1973 ruling which made abortion legal in the US

 

Quote

Donald Trump has said it “is certainly possible” Amy Coney Barrett will be part of a supreme court decision overturning Roe v Wade, the 1973 ruling which made abortion legal in the US.

 

Asked if Barrett, if confirmed, would be part of a 6-3 conservative-liberal ruling “on a life issue”, Trump said: “It’s certainly possible. And maybe they do it in a different way. Maybe they’d give it back to the states. You just don’t know what’s going to happen.”

 

This is what Democrats need to run on. Fuck, SCOTUS actually banning abortion by overturning Roe and Casey would be an insurmountable argument (imo) to expand SCOTUS or reign it in.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi has begun mobilizing Democrats for the scenario in which the Electoral College stalemates and the House must decide the presidential election.

 

Quote

An informal whip count has already begun. Democrats hold a one- or two-vote seat edge in seven states that are expected to feature at least one sharply contested House race: Arizona, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada and New Hampshire. Republicans hold a similarly tenuous edge in Florida. The Alaska and Montana at-large seats are held by Republicans, meaning a Democrat would change the delegation’s vote in a presidential tally.

 

Quote

Pelosi, in a Sunday letter to House Democrats, urged them to consider whether the House might be pulled into deciding who is president when determining where to focus resources on winning seats in November. This could lead to more concerted efforts by Democrats to win in states such as Montana and Alaska — typically Republican turf but where Democrats have been competitive statewide. In these states, Democratic victories could flip an entire delegation with a single upset House victory.

 

“The Constitution says that a candidate must receive a majority of the state delegations to win,” Pelosi wrote. “We must achieve that majority of delegations or keep the Republicans from doing so.”

Yeah, it's important to remember that even though the House would determine who becomes President if no one wins the electoral college, it's actually determined on a state by state basis:  So Montana's 1 Representative has as much voting power in this instance as California's 53 Representatives.  

 

The first candidate to get 26 states worth of Reps to vote for them, becomes President.

He should practice with the wingdings font.  That would really up his game. 

 

 

"How Donald Trump is preparing for the debate of his life.

 

His briefing books(he prefers Crayola, 64 pack) are full of pretty, pretty pictures."

Trump just barely carried this by a little over two points. If the suburbs really are stronger for Biden, then this would be an easier win for Biden than it was for Obama in 2008.

 

It's one vote, but indeed, that one vote prevents a tie in plenty of scenarios. If he carried Maine's district that Trump won, that would put him at 271 with MI, WI, and AZ.

Why do I have a horrible feeling that Biden will somehow fuck up the debates?

 

Trump could literally shit his pants on live TV during the debate and the media would pay way more attention to Biden making a minor misstatement.
