He's behind, and he needs to make up ground, so a townhall that the most people possible could see it the smarter move. But it's not about smart. He had to go to his friends at NBC so he could own the libs and counterprogram Biden. He wants to win the ratings war with Biden more than he wants to win the election. |

I don't think anything matters muchh at this point, but it will be interesting to see how Trump friendly the audience is. I'm expecting a Q type question or two.

GOP making it's final push with something to do with a missing hard drive that has to do with Ukraine. New York Post published the story.

It's interesting seeing Trump's campaign trying to use the issues that they have spent the last four years desensitizing the public with. Do they think children of presidents profiting from their relationships is a winning issue for them? |

Seems legit
“The computer was dropped off at a repair shop in Biden’s home state of Delaware in April 2019, according to the store’s owner. The customer who brought in the water-damaged MacBook Pro for repair never paid for the service or retrieved it or a hard drive on which its contents were stored, according to the shop owner, who said he tried repeatedly to contact the client. The shop owner couldn’t positively identify the customer as Hunter Biden, but said the laptop bore a sticker from the Beau Biden Foundation, named after Hunter’s late brother and former Delaware attorney general.”

2020 Senate Election Forecast | FiveThirtyEight Here's the page. It says there is a 4.3% chance Dems get 55 seats, and an 80% chance Dems hold between 48 and 55 seats after the election. Last edited by Kodos : 10-14-2020 at 04:04 PM. |

Right, that's where I got my data. Yesterday, it was 5.2, now it's 4.3. What I was getting at was that the 5.2 (or 4.3 now) covers scenarios where they get exactly 55 seats. For their true likelihood get 55 seats, you'd have to add all the amounts for seats above 55. Looks ike that is now 9.6% chance for them to get 55 or more seats.

I just about fell out of my chair. The lines in blue regions of the state for early voting show massive motivation for Democrats. I don't think Georgia will go Dem again (it'd be the first time since 1992), but if Trump has to fight in Georgia (and he's coming to Macon) that's less money for Florida, North Carolina, and Ohio.

It's not incompetence, it's a plan for minority rule.

After the last few cycles, it's jarring to see states like Georgia, Iowa, Texas as battleground states. Right now the electoral spread looks a lot like Obama-McCain in 2008, with the potential to get much worse. |

Biden announced he raised $383 million in September. That is a whole lot of cheese.

The other thing is that Trump is having these massive rallies in close states like Iowa, Georgia, Florida... where the folks aren't wearing masks and sitting/standing very close together. Less than 20 days before the election. While discouraging mail in voting.
I do wonder how much COVID superspreader events are going to impact Trump's vote on election day.

Best thing that could happen tonight: Trump does Trump. He makes a complete overbearing ass of himself, and says several Trumpisms that even sounds stupid to conservatives.
Meanwhile Biden has a calm, boring town hall. He might not hit anything out of the park, or even out of the infield, but Trump being Trump on NBC means Biden just looks peaceful in comparison. Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk |

I'll probably try to tune into Biden for at least 30 minutes. I'm preparing by having a couple rum and cokes.
I would try to get drunk enough to watch Trump but I have to go to work tomorrow.

I'm watching Biden and reading coverage of Trump. Biden is doing pretty well while it sounds like Trump is doing as expected.

Biden looks energetic and sounds good in 20 min I've seen. But he tends to ramble on with his answers.

Biden is definitely the opposite of Trump. A sober, wonky discussion about policy. Going far father than the questioners even expected. Biden is doing a great job here showing how different he'd be than Trump.

I think Biden (and Democrats in general) needs to take a stronger stance on "court packing". I don't know how his wishy-washy response appeals to anyone.

Why should they? So R’s and Fox News can try and play tape on it when it happens?

I agree. There's no reason to answer the question when all it does is play into R ads and its impossible to gameplan your options without knowing what the makeup of Senate is. And Biden did say he's generally been against court packing but would consider his options based on how the current nomination process goes. Dems, in general, are all over the place on this because there are options other than going the neclear route. Until this election is decided and you know what options are available to put on the board it doesn't make sense to commit to 1 option. |

Yes, I don't understand what good could possibly come from Biden definitively answering the court packing question.

Candidates for public office giving straight answers to questions is its own good result and should be the default expectation. The board has generally agreed with this as it relates to other issues, there's no reason to make an exception in this case.

1. I've generally been against court packing 2. We have several options to consider beyond court packing 3. I want to see how this nomination process goes before I commit to something. 4. Once the nomination process is over I'll announce which path I'm in favor of. I think that's about as fair as it gets. There's no upside to jumping the gun with anything at this point.

Very few persuadable voters care about the Supreme Court.
Any answer Biden gives is going to piss off some people. The job of campaigning is winning. I'm pretty sure the Dems won't even nuke the filibuster. SCOTUS expansion isn't going to happen.

I'm okay with Biden not giving a straight answer on this. But the answers in his first debate and Kamala's VP debate was just to ignore it. He's gotten better now with the not-for-it-but-we'll-see.
I'm also okay with SCOTUS nominees being evasive on some questions like Roe vs Wade. |
