2024 Presidential Election thread

Tom Nicols on Musk’s thingofajig

The irony is that Biden's term wasn't a disaster. Unemployment at 4, inflation at 2.4 - America's economy the envy of the world. As I wrote - long before this election - when people think that's "bad," illiberal populism thrives on fake nostalgia.

I don't think there's much she could have done differently, or any Dem, for that matter, because - as I kept saying - this was always about voters in four or five states. Most people rejected Trump again, but a few hundred thousand in a nation of 350 million can negate that. /1

The Electoral College - which I once defended as a symbol of federalism - is going to produce another minority-vote president, and that's setting up a crisis of legitimacy. American institutions can't keep producing that outcome. But that's a subject for another day. /2x

So relieved the media spent the last four years talking about Hunter Biden and Joe's age. 

[Motown Bombers]

Pretty remarkable

I hope people enjoy Elon Musk's austerity plans to cut $2 billion and Trump's tarrif plan to reignite inflation and his tax cuts for the wealthy. 

[Motown Bombers]

What little has come in from Wayne County, she appears to be underperforming. Maybe the Arabs in Dearborn did break heavy for Trump. I hope Tliab has a plan for them. 

[Motown Bombers]

Harris may do worse than Hillary. 

[VegasTiger]

Probably goes without saying but anyone looking to buy a car should wait until Trump's sworn in. He'll make the fed reduce rates.

[Motown Bombers]

What's wild is the house elections are going well for Dems. 

[mtutiger]

As far as the blue wall is concerned, it's a question of whether what's left can save Casey, Baldwin and Slotkin.

My guess is that it probably can, but it will be razor thin...

[Motown Bombers]

Sherrod Brown concedes.

Wild if a lesbian wins but a black woman can't.

I hope this place doesn’t become a source of darkness and constant doom and gloom in the coming years or I’m going to have to leave for my mental health. 

Or you just stay in the Tigers forum which is what I'll probably do.

Gavin Newsome, if there is a '28

Don't go into Lions game threads, even if they are winning.

Yeah, Whitmer is a no go, probably only as Vice President. Maybe Shapiro. 

[Motown Bombers]

What is the long term picture for the Senate? Dems are done in West Virginia, Ohio, and Montana. North Carolina has been stubborn. Florida looks out of the picture. Need to start getting more competitive in Texas. Probably pick a seat in Maine when Collins retires. Alaska may be a shot. 

[Motown Bombers]

Georgia has been called for Trump. I'm off to bed. Hope things are better in the morning.

[Motown Bombers]

Can’t sleep, but with Pennsylvania gone, that’s a wrap. I’m done trying to understand people. 

[Motown Bombers]

Harris may actually lose the popular vote. 

[Motown Bombers]

From now on pollsters will only poll The Ronz inner circle.

[Deleterious]

Shane Gillis is the big winner tonight.  

[MichiganCardinal]

I was spectacularly wrong. While my life will not change substantially, I'm sad for our country and the rule of law.
