In that event, it goes to House of Reps, where each state gets one vote*. Vote in each state goes to the party that has a majority of the congressional seats from that state.

(*This is in spite of the fact that 20% of the states have 80% of the population)

Currently, R's have majority of states, so would re-elect Trump.

For VP, Senate select it by simple majority. If R's retain senate, it will be Pence. Else it will be Trump-Harris.

As for Pelosi, her days are numbered. This election was a disaster for Dems at the congressional level.

And the left gets the House & Presidency with a chance to retake the Senate next cycle.

I agree Pelosi should go and be replaced by a progressive speaker.

Congrats to all the winners last night on capital hill. Regardless of how people voted. And congrats to the delayed by (still counting votes) but imminent president Biden.

One last post before I go back to work....

Sometimes we get so caught up in fighting our battles that we lose sight of the wood for the trees.

Why do men watch sports? Part of it is the competition and the athleticism, sure. We would give anything to play if we could. But part of it is also building a structure of rules and regulations and traditions and staying within them and celebrating the sport itself. That respect shows up in the handshake line. That's manhood too, and like a lot of manliness, is boring but essential. It represents civilization.

When there is looting, or asinine calls of de-funding police, or having members of the media privately tweet about their liberal sympathies, or broad tarring of people as Nazis and so on, and you have people on the sympathetic side stand and silently watch, they have lost sight of the wood for the trees. They don't understand that their winning is coming at the expense of the diminishing of the respect of the sport.

And when the person in the highest office tries to destroy not just the other side but institutions: from media, to government, to the nature of debate, to the judiciary, to democracy and peaceful transition of power itself, those who stand and watch are guilty of the same sin.

I despise Trump not for his private life (I don't care) or what he represents to his followers (several aspects of which deserve attention and perhaps even support), but for the fact, that even after almost 4 years, he cannot see the difference between winning the game and destroying the sport.

I truly hope he will be gone soon, and the issues that he raised will stay to be debated and fought over - in the proper way.

All this shows is that you still don't understand Trump. The sport of our country being run by the Washington elite establishment, which includes the corrupt liberal mainstream media needs to be destroyed. Peaceful transition of power! LOL. You mean like a presidential candidate, president elect and sitting president being spied on and illegally investigated by the FBI under the direction of the previous administration with no predication?

You are as clueless as they come.


Congrats to all who exercised their right to vote and took part in the process. Whichever way you voted.

I'd add the pollsters to that list. They were legitimately awful this election cycle.

Since the Dems look less likely to re-take the Senate, all that will happen is Senate Republicans will gridlock every single Biden's legislative proposal, blame it on Biden, and then see a landslide victory in the 2022 midterms.

What a nightmare.

If the Flames are so high on moving Johnny Hockey and supposedly have some interest in Ghost. Why not add JvR to the mix and see if we can take back a contract they might not want.

Which is EXACTLY what should be done to the other side, when the inevitable seats flip.

What you call 'liberal media'? Is the same media that represents the feelings of a majority (as seen in popular votes) of US citizens.

It's logic. Otherwise, why would they act in such a (manufactured) fashion?

To appeal to a party that excludes groups of people from benefits others get? Do you think it's a coincidence that the lgbtq community flocks to a side that won't say they are not a family? Or that women's bodies aren't their own?

But yeah, it's the illuminati keeping that loser from a second term.

The people that bought and paid for our corrupt politicians also control our corporate media. You haven't realized that yet? Regardless if you hate Trump or love him it is painfully obvious that the media is 100% part of the problem of this country and not the solution.

The celebrities with all the go vote in their social media...if you are an average American and you are listening to a franking celebrity regarding voting you should lose your right to. They live totally different lives than you, why in the world would you listen to them.

So therefore ALL information is faulty.

Including the same nonsense spewed from FOX too.

Yet that's not what I hear.

sorry boys

They impeached Trump for that phone call claiming he strong armed the Ukrainian leader about investigating Biden and he would withhold money if he didn't comply. In fact it was Joe Biden who did that exact thing because his son Hunter was being investigated for making 80k a month working for an energy company while having 0 experience. On the video he claims he told them they have 6 hours to fire the prosecutor or they won't get their money from Obama.

So, given the current projections... if Biden wins WI and MI, and Trump wins PA, NC, GA, and NV... we'd have a 270-270 tie in the Electoral College.

One thing I think we can all agree on, regardless of candidate preference, is to be thankful we don't have to have a shootout to break this tie.

Speak for yourself!!
A shoot out between politicians would be epic and I would purchase it on PPV!!
