He’s gonna quit and Pence is going to pardon him for all the federal crimes that he committed.


I agree that is what Trump wants. The only question is does Pence want to do it and what komprommat does Trump hold over Pence to ensure he does if Pence is reticent.

And there will be a wave of pardons by Trump before he steps down, probably pre-emptive ones for his kids even if they haven't been charged yet.

I'm starting to get some weird vibes about AZ, that state has a long history of 'irregularities'....the old guard has deep ties here so don't get caught napping.

Yes, Trump can't get to 270.

I expect Biden to finish with 299 or 305 if he takes Nevada

If you subtract AZ and GA, Biden still gets to 272 with PA which he will win

I don't think it's over yet.
AZ was called prematurely and is swinging back the other way.
If AZ goes back to Trump, Biden needs one of Pennsylvania and Georgia, neither of which are given.
It could be a photo finish.

Or am I misinformed?

Yeah, No. But I legit would not be surprised if he is trying to figure out how to flee the country. He's going to lose everything and go to prison and he probably has some bank salted away in multiple offshore accounts. There's only one problem with that: what country would be that effing stupid to take him in?

PA is going to go to Biden by 100-200K

GA is down to the wire, but looks like it may now tip to Biden

What happens in AZ won't change the outcome

The AZ drop came and Trump gains again, remember how Trump was accusing others of finding new ballots and that's exactly the story which supposedly happened there? Yet, lo and behold it's helping him in the found ballots demographic. Coincidence? hm

Well, I hope you're right.
If we have to wait for Pennsylvania, that's really going to be a photo finish.

The Washoe NV counting and feed is done for the night will be back 10am in the morn... isn't the election a big deal? Why is it not going on round the clock? I'm perplexed.

I was watching them separate the ballots from the envelopes and bring them to the tabulator out of the corner of my eye while doing other reading.

No it will not

100K+ is not a photo finish

BTW, regarding Trump's downfall post-presidency.

Being in the WH has shielded him from so many accusations and lawsuits because the power of the presidency is so intimidating that most people will not choose to go after a president.

But Trump without the presidency becomes a very weak man with dwindling resources, few true allies with any clout and very little ability to exact revenge.

As president he could ruin your life. Now Trump will be impotent and the knives will come out of the shadows to carve this MF up. You've never seen karma in action like it will befall Trump after he leaves the WH.

The trail of lies and deceit, the enemies he's made, the women he has defiled, there are hundreds of people out there with incriminating evidence ready to dump on Trump when the time is right. The intelligence community can back up the truck and open the gates at any time. I don't think people appreciate how thoroughly screwed this man is, but he is doomed.

Well, I mean in terms of time. Assuming Pennsylvania will come last.

Right, but that's still pretty soon, perhaps tomorrow. Photo finish is two horses crossing the line simultaneously so that's why I disagreed. It is not really that close though, so it is just a waiting game.

And all of Trump's bluster about messing with the results is going to achieve nada. He's finished
