Biden winning but the GOP holding the Senate is probably worst case scenario.

Posted by Tim, not a doctor (aka othertim) Nov 4 '20, 17:33

I haven't looked at the 2022 races yet (though I have a distinct feeling since we've been through a full cycle since 2016 we've almost completely polarized the Senate permanently without massive demographic changes) but with Mitch still in charge they get to run on Biden being ineffective and people will fall for it.

Look at it the dark but realistic way. We're running out the clock on Fox News viewers. -- nm - David Nov 4, 18:03 5
- Our age was Trump’s strongest support. -- nm - spamlet Nov 4, 18:04 4
  - Ha ha. Ya’ll are old. -- nm - Qale Nov 4, 18:17 1
    - You’re only a year younger than me, bub. - spamlet Nov 4, 18:29
  - These two observations are not mutually exclusive. -- nm - znufrii Nov 4, 18:06 1
    - Yup. -- nm - David Nov 4, 18:18
I agree. Trump losing is a small victory. - JaxSean Nov 4, 17:49 10
- It's an incomplete victory. -- nm - Reagen Nov 4, 17:51
- See I 100% disagree, I think we are losing sight of the big picture here. Imagine what Trump being POTUS for 4 more years means - ty97 Nov 4, 17:50 8
  - It means a SCOTUS which is 6-3 but all R justices with less than 50. It means packing the lower courts like nuts. It means the end of - Marlowe Nov 4, 17:55
  - A Biden POTUS and a GOP senate (and SCOTUS) means another few years of the same old stalemate. Which is better than falling further downward. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 17:52 1
    - Yes, hence, small victory. Unless more is done at the local and ultimately then national level, this is just a speed bump. - JaxSean Nov 4, 18:24
  - Thrilled if Trump loses. Pissed that Mitch will block anything remotely good for the nation. -- nm - Tim, not a doctor Nov 4, 17:52 4
    - Sure, it stinks, but it's way better than the alternative. - ty97 Nov 4, 17:54 1
      - It's one step forward after taking 3 steps back. - JaxSean Nov 4, 18:28
    - Which plays into the 2022 wave. Especially after Biden does try to work with them. -- nm - Spawn Nov 4, 17:53 1
      - Yes, there's only a few seats actually in play, and more are held by Rs, but it's not a friendly year. -- nm* - Tim, not a doctor Nov 4, 17:56
Santorum now saying both GA seats might goto runoff -- nm - budice Nov 4, 17:49 5
- Seems likely. Also seems *very* rough run of it for the Dems to have any hope in either runoff. -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 17:49 4
  - Could you all move to GA for the runoffs? (NM) - Marlowe Nov 4, 17:57
  - easier than if a Dem majority was directly in play, or had already been won, imo. -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 4, 17:51
  - But the polls were ... *is beaten with a pillowcase full of bricks* -- nm - Reagen Nov 4, 17:51 1
    - I prefer a potato sack full of cinderblocks -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 17:55
Okay, I did it. WAY TOO EARLY 2022 SENATE ANALYSIS BECAUSE IT NEVER ENDS -- (edited) - Tim, not a doctor Nov 4, 17:47 3 2
- wow -- nm - mud Nov 4, 18:13
- My 2022 analysis. With their God defeated, the GOP vote will plummet while the democrat vote will dip but still break records for a non-pres cycle. -- nm - Spawn Nov 4, 17:51 1
  - likey -- nm - mud Nov 4, 18:11
That sounds like something an Omnath player would say. -- nm - Qale Nov 4, 17:45
If lincoln project still cares after a Biden win, they could maybe try and get a few R sens to resign ... -- nm - Beryllium Nov 4, 17:41 1
- lol -- nm - Lincoln Project, sitting on a huge pile of cash Nov 4, 17:43
2022: Rubio, Crapo, Grassley, Paul, Kennedy, Blunt, Burr, Toomey, Lee, etc. -- nm* - mud Nov 4, 17:40 4
- Maybe, Safe, Old So Maybe, Safe, Safe, Safe, Maybe, Retiring So Actually In Play, Safe. -- nm - Tim, not a doctor Nov 4, 17:52
- Toomey's retiring, so his seat is up for grabs. If Sestak tries to run for the seat again I will personally punch him in the dick. -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 4, 17:43
- I consider Florida a lost cause so Rubio will win, just write that one off and don't even spend money on it. -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 17:41 1
  - I believe it's time to let Florida accomplish that old dream and form the Independent Republic of Sunshine Counties. (NM) - Marlowe Nov 4, 17:51
Biden losing is worst case scenario. Anything is an improvement over that. -- nm - ty97 Nov 4, 17:39 2
- I should clarify "worst case scenario with a Biden win." -- nm - Tim, not a doctor Nov 4, 17:48
- Yeah, I heard someone make that comment today and I called them an idiot. Trumpmis the ultimate evil and his removal is goal number one. - Spawn Nov 4, 17:46
No, worst case scenario is Trump victory, Rs keep Senate and take House. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 4, 17:37
