It was an anti Trump Jew

2018-08-28 15:20:44 UTC  

Seriously, fuck lets talk elections

2018-08-28 15:37:14 UTC  

"will be addressed!"

2018-08-28 15:38:07 UTC  

Hopefully this means an EO is getting ready, there is no way that tweets will suffice for this issue

2018-08-28 15:38:14 UTC  

They've taken down fucking Jim

2018-08-28 15:38:52 UTC  

Excellent.

2018-08-28 15:39:00 UTC  

Who's Jim?

<@&457366318073774082> Give me a map of Trump vs George Wallace

2018-08-28 15:52:47 UTC  

@Earl of Morrrrgantown Every Wallace state voted for Trump AFAIK.

2018-08-28 15:53:36 UTC  

He only won in a restircted area of the Deep South and served as a spoiler to stop Democrats from winning elsewhere.

2018-08-28 15:54:06 UTC  

Metokur came back, didn't he

2018-08-28 15:55:23 UTC  

@Nuke A Transexual furry pedophile vs Donald Trump

2018-08-28 15:58:38 UTC  

wtf

2018-08-28 16:00:46 UTC  

@Nuke Just give me the map

2018-08-28 16:01:48 UTC  

Heres mine

2018-08-28 16:14:36 UTC  

No way Trump isn't carrying his home state if D.C., Maryland, and Vermont are tossups tbh.

2018-08-28 17:01:28 UTC  

no way Trump is losing if his opponent is fucking dead

2018-08-28 18:07:13 UTC  

"no way Trump is losing if his opponent is fucking dead"

you're referring to the hypothetical George Wallace matchup?

2018-08-28 18:12:39 UTC  

anyway, when it comes to a hypothetical Donald Trump vs George Wallace matchup, one would need to specify a few things

Is it in 2016 where Trump is the Republican and Wallace is the (dead) Democrat? Presumably not.


Is it in 1968 when Trump was only 22? Presumably not.

Is it in 2016 where Trump is the Republican and someone with the same personality traits and political background that George Wallace had, somehow becomes the Democratic nominee? That would be really implausible. After all, a third party candidate would probably do better than Wallace in that scenario.

However, let's just say that there are only two choices on the ballot. Trump and Wallace. If staying home is an option, then most of the 62 million Trump voters would show up to vote for Trump and only a small minority would prefer Wallace, making Trump win all 50 states + DC. The vast majority of Hillary voters, Johnson voters, and Stein voters would stay home.

If staying home is not an option, there might presumably be some really low info voters who go "hurr fuck Trump let me vote for whoever has the D next to their name" but I don't think that would flip any state...even Alabama or Mississippi.

2018-08-28 18:12:48 UTC  

now, if this hypothetical is in 1968, that would be another story

2018-08-28 18:13:06 UTC  

btw @Earl of Morrrrgantown you seem to have this perception that California and New York are more liberal than Vermont and Massachusetts

2018-08-28 18:13:48 UTC  

I'd say that isn't the case because there are large swaths of red enclaves in California and New York, and they're mostly blue because of high minority populations, many of whom have socially conservative beliefs but vote Democratic due to social programs

2018-08-28 18:14:14 UTC  

whereas Vermont and Massachusetts are blue because they have an abundance of white liberals

2018-08-28 18:14:35 UTC  

IIRC Vermont and Massachusetts are the only states that would still be blue if only white males could vote

2018-08-28 18:14:46 UTC  

Vermont is the only state that would be blue if only gun owners could vote

2018-08-28 18:16:16 UTC  

Thoughts?

2018-08-28 18:20:37 UTC  

Was that written postmortem or did McCain know that he was gonna do and wrote it like a will?

Ideals, Blood, and Soil

2018-08-28 18:59:48 UTC  

Absolute pussy

2018-08-28 18:59:49 UTC  

this is why I've been insisting that just because Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a socialist/Berniecrat, that doesn't mean she's more likely to lose. If anything, she'll be an even stronger opponent than Crowley

2018-08-28 18:59:54 UTC  

It's all about mindset, really
