  • I guess it's confirmed. Americans really are dumber than a bag of rocks.

  • Well, now that it looks like Trump is actually going to pull it off, we're all in for a world of fun over the next four years. We might actually discover just how monstrous things will get.

  • It's honestly unreal that Trump is even in the race, let alone in a position to pull off a possible win. After everything that has happened. I try to keep a positive spirit in general, but it's not easy to be optimistic on behalf of the US right now.

  • This is from New Mexico? New Mexico is solid blue. If this shows a general trend, great. But NM won't really affect the outcome much.

  • I don't think Trump has any chance at winning the popular vote. The EC will be close, but I think Harris has a great chance at winning PA, MI, and WI, which would bring her to 270 without any other swing state. Very likely scenario in my mind.

  • Definitely. Especially when you also know that the betting markets had Hillary Clinton at 82 percent odds of winning the day before the election and 90 percent odds of UK voters rejecting Brexit. That's obviously not what happened.

  • Honestly, I trust the betting markets more than the pollsters. Money on the line makes a difference.

  • True. Doesn't matter if he wins or loses. He'll claim he won no matter the results and he'll be equally crazy.

  • Honestly a bit surprised by this. I would have thought Boomers were more skeptical about voting machines than young voters.

  • Lol. This is awesome. What a bunch of douchebag losers.

  • I was once a proponent of cashless societies. Not anymore. Too many vulnerabilities, too many ways for governments to take control of your finances.

  • The ATL area is carrying the state of Georgia now. That's what has changed over the past three decades. The GOP has a hard time in any state where there's a large dominant urban area. That's not really a new thing.

  • I commend the effort and the long post to explain yourself, but it's ultimately conjecture. None of the battleground states will go "decisively" to any of the candidates.

  • And watch a ton of women stand in line on election day to vote for Trump.

  • Yes, it's definitely worth mentioning. Thanks.

  • It's also the same people who claim that moral integrity is the end-all-be-all in leadership while having no problem supporting a person for the ultimate leadership position whose views on women include "grab'em by the pussy." The moral superiority is pretty much gone.

  • Definitely. There's a difference between evangelical Christians and progressive Christians. Evangelicals consider themselves "born again" and are usually very conservative and staunchly Republican and are usually Trump supporters. Those are the ones mentioned here.

  • "...until it's convenient to advance my own agenda, of course."

  • It's only generic when you don't know your history. Trump doesn't exactly come across as a history scholar, though. He also doesn't care either way.

    Americans are unusually down on a solid economy. So far, they aren't spending — or voting — like it.
