the urge to abscond to a non-extradition country must be unbearable right about now -- nm - mr mooch Nov 2, 17:57 26
- Let me be a Debbie Downer on your parade: I don't like him, but what would anyone arrest him for? Don't be Lefty Trumpists. -- nm - ty97 Nov 2, 18:32 16

      - That said, if Harris wins, I want Biden to pardon Trump. - ty97 Nov 2, 18:38 10

        Did it end when Nixon was pardoned? -- nm - Roger More Nov 2, 18:45 1

        I don’t think Biden can pardon him for state charges, can he? -- nm - Dano Nov 2, 18:40 1

        I get that you want vengeance or whatever (not my thing). I want to move this country toward the best future it can have. -- nm - ty97 Nov 2, 18:44 2
        
        This country, and our future, is bigger than Trump, or anyone's hatred for him. -- nm - ty97 Nov 2, 18:45 1
        
        the rule of law is bigger than any one president. nothing to do with revenge, he’s just a crime machine dictator who must be held to account -- nm - mr mooch Nov 2, 18:50
        
        indeed! -- nm - mud Nov 2, 18:44

- Cabaret spoof? Kamala sings "Money makes the campaign go around" -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 2, 18:00
Just for the madness: If Harris wins IA, NC, NV, MI, but Trump wins PA, WI, and AZ, it's a 269-269 tie. -- nm - ty97 Nov 2, 17:45 2

Final Selzer poll of Iowa: HARRIS +3 -- (link) - ty97 Nov 2, 16:03 28
- one reason for the gender chasm is Iowa GOP forced a six-week abortion ban on the state this year -- (link) - mr mooch Nov 2, 17:29 1

- .....I'll be in my bunk. -- nm - znufrii Nov 2, 17:02

  - “In a June 2024 Selzer poll, Trump led Biden by 18 points” -- nm - mr mooch Nov 2, 16:45 2
    - I don't really pay attention anything but the finals Selzer polls. Too much fluctuation otherwise. -- nm - ty97 Nov 2, 18:37
    - if she is running up these margins with senior voters (senior women specifically) in more blue states than Iowa…. -- (link) - mr mooch Nov 2, 16:48
  - Four years ago at this time, polls were showing a Iowa close-ish, and Biden wiping the floor across the board with Trump. Then Selzer came in +7 Trump -- (edited) - ty97 Nov 2, 16:22 7
    - If she’s right, down ballot might be huge because 2020 was assumed Biden and no one wanted him with a majority… - Will Hunting Nov 2, 16:26 6
      - Yeah, this is tough to google for. What is this about people voting for Biden but then wanting Republicans in Congress? Pls and thank you. -- nm - con_carne Nov 2, 16:31 5
        
        People in 2020 didn't *like* Biden's policies but didn't want Trump. Best way for that to be the case is to have - Will Hunting Nov 2, 16:45 2
        
        Thanks! -- nm - con_carne Nov 2, 16:59 1
        
        I could be wrong, but I think it's as realistic as anything to explain that particular set of polling misses above and beyond his own. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 2, 17:21
        
        Theory is anti Trump Republicans won’t vote for him but want to put a check on Kamala by giving her a Republican Congress. -- nm - Dano Nov 2, 16:40 1
        
        I think that was 2020 --- this year, the fact it's so damn close in theory, you might see a silent wave go the other way in case he wins. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 2, 16:46
- Now, to stay true to my beliefs: THIS IS ONLY ONE POLL. And this could be the year Selzer misses really badly. But I don't bet against her. -- (edited) - ty97 Nov 2, 16:07
- !!!! -- nm - Reagen Nov 2, 16:04 5
  - I meant to insert those at the end -- nm - ty97 Nov 2, 16:06 3
    - I saw it and had to reread it 3 times to make sure I was actually seeing that right. -- nm - Reagen Nov 2, 16:15 2
      - It’s like only +3? That’s great for Kamala. Wait, what? -- nm* - Dano Nov 2, 16:42
      - I was dreaming of something like Trump +2. Didn't expect it, but was hoping. Even let myself dream of a tie for a second. Never this! -- nm* - ty97 Nov 2, 16:18
  - I had a similar reaction, maybe !! -- nm - mud Nov 2, 16:06
- NO, I do NOT think Harris is going to win Iowa. However you need to understand the history of the Selzer Iowa poll and how it does NOT herd. -- (link) - ty97 Nov 2, 16:03 1
  - (also, I can't rule out that Harris might win Iowa) -- nm - ty97 Nov 2, 16:26
