Another thing this election has changed for the future will be the acceptance of online betting markets as a reliable predictor. These markets have been calling this for over a year with barely any wavering. Even when the polls were saying Harris, the betting line may have moved but it never flipped from Trump. I’m not sure they will replace polling as the main predictor but they are clearly no longer an afterthought anymore.

I can only go on history and it’s been proven time and time again that Donald Trump does very little of what he promises to do.

My only real criticism would be they didn’t keep the hammer down on Trump’s age and health. When Biden dropped out, Trump was alone staring in the mirror at all of the same questions about fitness and cognitive ability to lead. He showed it even more in the past few months and the Harris campaign barely touched it. That was a thought that needed to be much more on the minds of voters leading up to the election. It’s hard to criticize the overall strategy of the campaign. They were shocked like the rest of us at some of the inexplicable choices made by segments of the electorate. How does it make any sense that a campaign that ran on deportations and a tighter border would have such strong support from Hispanics? How could so many young black men eschew the black candidate for the one that was supported by the klan and white nationalists? How could so many educated suburban women not care enough about woman’s rights and health issues and not care enough to elect the first female president? None of it makes very much sense. I’m now confused on if it’s still possible to have a Democracy that is “by the people and for the people”, when the people are so easily fooled and manipulated.

Since we have to make chicken salad, this is Donald Trump, so most of the things that he promised to get elected will never happen. He’s still a con man. 50% tariffs won’t happen, mass deportations and camps won’t happen, The Department of Education will still exist, Obamacare won’t be repealed, and RFK Jr. won’t be our Surgeon General. What will happen is there will be a revenge tour in Washington and the media. All of the court cases will go away and replaced by bogus investigations into his enemies. I do also fear for the people in Ukraine.

Kornacki is struggling to paint a good picture about the Pennsylvania map.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

I’m going to smoke a joint in the garage.

Bovada is up to -1600/+800 That’s bet $20 on Kamala and win $160. That’s huge.

Kamala still gets to 270 with wins in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. Hold The Wall!

This is all Denise Ilitch’s fault!

The live odds from Bovada Sportsbook are starting to concern me: Trump -800 Harris +550 This is a huge number for a favorite.

Had to turn off CNN coverage when their talking head referred to Michigan as The Wolverine State.

I’m interested to see how quick some of the totals come in compared to 2020. Many states have spent time and money to improve their process

I’m glad the Trump campaign chose to not make every commercial and talking point be about the economy and democracy since they are the key issues. Instead, they made Immigration (11%) and Transgender issues (not even listed) huge talking points for their campaign. I must have seen their stupid anti-trans ad 100 times and it’s just not an issue with voters. Thank you morons.

After you invest in these companies do you get a special code that can be used to save yourself when the robot revolution starts? Your support should at least let you be spared in the first wave of human exterminations.

What kind of cretins are you hanging out with that purposely don’t carry ID. That first sign of a bad seed, the second being they own burglary tools and you can find a ski mask in their car in June.

Good point but all the organizations have the young underlings that do much of the research and heavy lifting. If the GM goes, there will be people in the building that can jump in and make team based decisions with the hope they can stay on with the next administration.

Don’t blame Joe Schoen. He’s probably getting fired at season’s end. His only chance to stay is getting hot and winning some games at the end to look competitive enough that they are building something. Great example of why owners should be quick on the trigger to fire lame duck GM’s. Team could use late draft picks next year more than Olujari the rest of this season.

Another thing from my voting experience this morning. Not only did I had to show my ID, they looked very carefully at it and matched address, picture, and even signature. So much for the false maga narrative about anyone being able to vote without ID. That is patently false here in the great state of Michigan.

Even had Bowles gone for two and got it, how shocked would anyone have been if Mahomes got KC in FG range with 27 seconds and 2 TO. Not very. I think most of us would be surprised if 15 didn’t get them there in that situation. The right play was probably to go OT and bet on the coin toss.

It took a little more time voting this morning due to not checking a straight Democratic ticket. Even though the position doesn’t matter, there was absolutely no way that I was casting a vote for Denise Ilitch as UM Trustee. When the family chooses to step up and invest back in the teams they are essentially holding hostage, I will choose to support them again.

A player pushed or forced out of bounds by another player can re-establish. A player that runs out on their own can not.

I have none. This is not going to be close. The polls are way off and Trump is going to get streamrolled.

He probably shouldn’t have walked all the way to the bench but removing himself from the play was smart. If he doesn’t the ball is probably coming his way and a penalty ensues.z
