Official Republicans Straight Down the Shitter Viewing Party 2020

I'll buy a ticket to watch that OP!

We’re over here already

You're over there trapping people into a thread a day early and I'm not going to reward it.

R3 Hahahahahaha, thread envy at its best

I mean where’s the red wave! I’m too nervous to think straight.

Kentucky polls just closed, so we might get the first results from Moscow Mitch McConnell's race with Amy McGrath.

Remember that Trump basically cannot win if Biden flips North Carolina, Georgia or Florida. All of those states counted mail-in ballots and early votes today, so the results will be quicker.

Don't believe Wolf Blitzer — Indiana is NOT a "key race." It's going to Trump undoubtedly.

I will literally faint if Amy wins. in a good way

Democrats only have 47 seats in the Senate, including the independents who caucus with them.

So Democrats need 50 seats in order to take over the Senate; 51 to override Mike Pence's tie-breaker vote if Trump wins (which is unlikely).

So Democrats need to pick up 3 to 4 seats and they're sure to lose Doug Jones' seat in Alabama. So Democrats need 4-5 seats to take over the Senate and takeover Pence-proof.

Those Senate pickups are going to come from the following states: GA, where 2 seats will probably go to runoffs for a couple of more months, SC, NC, AL, KS, ME, MS, AZ, CO, IA or MT.

That is the order their results are announced.

Biden has many paths to victory. His Achilles heel would be PA, which Hillary lost in 2016 but usually votes Democratic. If Trump wins there, then Biden is toast. It would mean lots of other swing states won't go Biden's way.

But Trump is toast if he loses any of the following: OH, FL, NC, GA, TX, all of which are tossups.

NC results will now be delayed 45 minutes to 8:15 per CNN.

Yes, that's only 45 minutes late, though.

CNN reading its exit polls now.

If Jake Tapper says, "There is no blue wave," then Biden and the Democrats are going to win everything.

He said "No blue wave" early in Election Night 2018 when there was a blue tsunami that took over the House of Representatives!

Biden is suddenly ahead in Kentucky, but it won't last.

Please send Susan Collins packing, Maine!

15 minutes to... some information about some states....

Okay - time for more drugs.

I think they will. Sara Gideon has been ahead in the polls all year.

GROSS. We have to listen to RIck Santorum all night if we're watching CNN.

Wolf is wrong — FL is more key than GA and it's announcing its first results in 9 minutes, too.

But FL is holding its results until 8:30 E.T. so the Central Time western part of the state can vote.

I'm watching Stacey Abrams, Rachel, Joy and Nicolle.

Just finished with David Plouffe.

Brian Williams drops in and out.

Kornaki in his khakis at the big board.

Snacks, beverages, drugs, we're ready.

LOL

I have CNN, MSNBC and FOX up on the screen on alternating mutes. But I usually stay on CNN.

I'm also watching MSNBC with occasional drop-ins on CNN. And yes, I'm a fucking nervous wreck but determined to push through this no matter what.

Oh wow.

Lafayette park in dc - live shot on MSNBC during commercial break.

It's going to be ON if he tries to fuck with his loss. People are ready.

R23 how do you have them on the screen at the same time?

I'm on my desktop computer, but most TVs have a function where you can split-screen mute, too.

Nope - one channel at a time. That's all I can handle.

When donald starts heading down the tubes, I'll take a look at fox just to watch them freaking out.

The passive aggressiveness in that mattress ad is...odd.

Is this the official election night thread?

Yay! Biden flipping Pinellas County in FL

Yes, this is the Official Election Night thread for Democrats and DLers who don't want to reward the maniac who started a thread yesterday.

Okay, thanks, R32.

CNN has Biden up in FL!

MSNBC has Biden up in FL, too!

Biden leading GA with all those early votes:

Ossof beating Perdue for Senate in GA!

Ossof: 52%

Perdue: 45%

GA and FL are going to report their early/mail-in votes first, which favors the Democrats.

It's all about learning what the Republicans did in-person today.

R31? you can thank my 84-year-old father, living in a 55+ park in St. Pete, for Biden's win in Pinellas. I'm so proud of him! My mother, of course, voted for Trump.

D-Warnock is also kicking R-Loeffler's ass in GA:

`I want to personally pull the handle to flush Martha McStankass down the shitter.

Awesome, r39!

Okay but take Boomer with you when you leave, r41.

Boomer's a good boy.

John King is warning against Biden underperforming in Miami-Dade, but it's only in-person early voting.

Most Democrats voted by mail! That's where Biden "will make it up."

Go, Ossoff and Warnock! Kelly "Attila the Hun" Loeffler and Perdue are the worst of the worst

McSally and Ernst are the worst of the worst.

Are we sure of that r44?

Armed Trump supporter ordered to leave NC polling site

MSNBC showing big increases for the Democrats in FL counties.

Yes, r47. King keeps saying it himself and FL is not reporting their mail-in votes for another 15 minutes:

Jaime Harrison ahead of Senatrice Lindsey Graham in early SC reports!!!

MSNBC showing massive shift to Biden in Mahoning County, OH.

Go, Jaime Harrison, go!!!!!

I predicted Trump would win OH, but those preliminaries look really good for Biden.

I predicted Trump would win OH, but those preliminaries look really good for Biden.

Delaware county in Ohio is killing it for Biden.

sweet.

CNN reporting Biden ahead in TX -- totally revolutionary progress there.

I meant "killing it" in the positive sense.

If only we could get rid of John Cornyn, too

Yes, he thinks gay marriage = box turtle marriage.

But he is facing his tightest election fight ever. TX is changing.

Time for more pot gummies. It's all going to get murky in these results for a while...

Share r61.

Fuck.

Trump is ahead in FL with their big data dump. It's only by 1 percent, though.

Snacks! Bring out your snacks!

Texas looks good for Democrats - bring out your snacks!

David Plouffe and Michael Steele on MSNBC

89% of FL votes in. This is not good for Biden. But he doesn't need FL.

And Biden's lead in OH is completely surprising -- he could kill Trump's chances right there.

Finally, NC has started reporting votes and Biden is ahead!

Cal Cunningham (D) also winning the Senate seat in NC!

VP Biden never counted on Florida, he hasn't been there since Thursday.

But President Obama went down there and made it a fucking fight. It's still close as anything, we'll see how it shakes out in the light of day.

Texas and Ohio are both looking good. Now if only Pennsylvania would come through, we'll have ourselves a real country again, kids.

PA is much more likely to come through than TX or OH. But we may not know the results there for days, because they're not allowed to start processing mail-in ballots until TODAY.

this thread blows

So does the overzealous Official Thread Days Early troll.

R66? That's not surprising, since I don't think FL has held an honest election since before 2000.

I think it's because Biden underperformed Hillary with those Cuban-American voters.

MSNBC has Cal Cunningham (D) up 5% in NC Senate!

Most of Ohio's vote is in and Biden is still winning!

Trump's going to take FL. That fucking sucks, but Biden doesn't need it.

55% of the vote in NC is in and Biden still has a big lead.

FUCK YEAH BIDEN WINNING OH + NC + TX with over half of the votes counted!!

Per CNN.

Not good news for Trumplethinskin.

70% in and Biden still ahead in NC!!!

I wonder if Susan Collins is concerned at the moment......

oh hi. just thought I'd stop by again to mention how much I think this thread sucks.

the real one is moving much faster, with better news and insights.

CNN showing leads for Biden in TX, OH + NC with majorities of votes in.

Also Biden ahead in PA

Well now I'm going to keep posting on this thread just to spite you R83. ;)

FOX CALLING COLORADO SENATE FOR HICKENLOOPER (D)!!!!!

Unless im reading it wrong 538 has TX foor Trump

Lindsey Graham still BEHIND! Bookmark this NYT page-no paywall!

Oh, shit! So sorry, Graham pulled ahead! UGH!

Just dropping in to say...

FLORIDA SUCKS!!!!!!!

Especially Miami-Dade and CUBANS!!!!!

I guess Fox was only reporting 22% of the CO vote. Their check mark threw me off.

MSNBC reporting DL Fave Allegheney County in PA going to Trump LOL

Colorado projected for Joe.

Kornacki is saying Biden lead in NC dropping rapidly.

Ruh-ro!!

Times is projecting NC for Trump. That will drop Biden’s National chances to just 50/50.

This is exactly the time where it all started to go wrong in 2016.

[quote] The New York Times needle now has North Carolina at 88 percent likely for Trump. If all three Southeast states they are tracking go to Trump, that would move national projections closer to 50-50. It also could be a sign of a broader polling error, though it might be specific to the Southeast.

On 538

And Nate is getting super cagey on the site. They’re doing exactly the same thing they did in 2016.

Fake News @ r96 and r97.

NYT and NC state shows Biden leading in NC and there is no such article on 538.

Hickenlooper way up in CO!

Cunningham ahead in NC!

Cornyn wins Texas. Ugh.

That was expected. But Biden's still leading Trump in the state overall!

Um no you idiot, it’s on their live blog where they’re all talking. Fuck off, stupid cunt.

You fuck off. Biden's winning OH and NC, so Trump is toast!

And that’s all it is, R103: TALK.

John King showing huge increases for Democrats in NC counties — VERY damning for Orange Julius.

I just refreshed the NYT website and it only says FL, GA and NC too close to call.

No. REPORTING. ON THE TIMES.

FUCK.

OFF.

R96/103 = Trollerina

There is no such article. Times showing NC ahead.

[quote]MSNBC reporting DL Fave Allegheney County in PA going to Trump LOL

That doesn't include ANY of the early or mail-in vote, which hasn't been counted yet, and will go substantially for Biden.

[quote] Since it’s looking less and less like we’ll see a Democratic blowout tonight, this has consequences, even if Democrats eventually win the trifecta. For one, it makes it harder for Republicans to move on from Trump’s hold on the party, since Trump will likely wind up having overperformed expectations. A return of moderate Republicans was already unlikely, but it is becoming less and less so by the minute tonight. Second, it will make it harder for Democrats to get much done. They really need 52 or 53 seats in the Senate to have a chance at getting rid of the filibuster and moving some major legislation. That’s looking less likely right now.

Lee Drutman on 538. 538 isn’t quite at full blown panic but it’s heading that direction.

CNN showing Biden ahead in all "Blue Wall" states except Michigan, where only 2 percent of the vote is in.

That's a bunch of pickups for the Dems.

All of Times needles for Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina are for Trump. NC is now at 95%. That turns Trump’s chances at 50%.

A lot of Trump-supporting white blue collar males symbolically voted today right on Election Day—you know, the same ones who also wait till the last minute to shop on Christmas Eve. Simplistic sounding, yes; but that’s how they work and Dems need someday to understand that, even if they neither like nor accept the fact.

CNN calling Colorado Senate seat flip for the Democrats -- John Hickenlooper wins!!!

Jaime Harrison loses to Lady Lindsay according to the Times. Behind by ten points.

Trump has overtaken OH and TX per CNN.

But Biden way ahead in AZ, which would be a Dem pickup.

It was always going be a super tight race. I was watching MSNBC last night and they were talking about flipping TX and a Blue landslide because the Polls said so. If 2016 taught us anything, it’s the Polls are shit.

All that being stated, we don’t need a landslide to win. I’m still very optimistic.

I’m extremely pessimistic. It’s shaping up to be a repeat of 2016. All they have to do is make up with rural voters in Arizona and they’ve done it before.

The biggest counties in MI, VA and NC haven't even reported yet

Can’t stand Jack Tapper. He can hardly hide that he’s just basically a Biden campaign robot.

Wrong, he said "there is no blue wave" in 2018 when there was a blue tsunami.

CNN reporting gains for Biden over Hillary winning DL Fave Bucks County!

Now the NYT "Needles" indicators are giving NC, FL and GA to Trump.

Boo.

Biden kicking ass in AZ per CNN:

BIDEN: 53%

TRUMP: 45%

77% reported.

This one I'm calling for Biden NOW and it's a pickup!

The Senatrice won re-election. She just made her victory speech on FOX.

UGH.

r126, and Biden doesn't need ANY of them to win.

FOX News also calling FL for Trump.

Brit Hume claiming Biden doesn't want Democrats to retake the Senate because he won't be able to handle the pressure from the radical left wing to enact Sanders' agenda ...

... AND MUTE. Back to CNN.

Trolls in the trash.

Ahh.. that's much better now.

Where were we?

Brit Hume, needless to say, is FULL OF SHIT.

And always has been.

CNN saying 1 million mail-in ballots have not been counted in PA.

MSNBC showing Theresa Greenfield leading Joni Ernst in IA!!!! Yay!!!

IOWA SENATE:

GREENFIELD: 50.2%

ERNST: 47%

54% of votes reported already!!!!

Also Biden ahead in IA!!!

That would be a Presidential AND Senate pickup.

According to Fox, consider Martha McSally FLUSHED!

CNN reporting leads for Democratic senate pickup candidates:

GREENFIELD - IA

KELLY - AZ

BULLOCK - MT

But Republicans leading the rest.

FOX calling AZ FOR BIDEN!!!

THAT IS A CRUCIAL BIDEN PICKUP!!!

The walls are closing in Donald — this is the only Presidential flip tonight and it went to BIDEN!!!!

Fox calls the Senate race for Mark Kelly {D}!!!

That's another crucial flip for the Democrats to take over the Senate!!!

YASS!!!!

That is the first good news of the night.

Rachel Maddow says neither campaign expects to learn the election results tonight.

Now MSNBC says there are 2.2 million votes in PA yet to count.

UGH.

Don't forget Hickenlooper.

We have Hickenlooper, Kelly and AZ for Biden, so that's three great wins for Dems. Dems have 3 pickups: Republicans have 0.

AZ was the best news so far. I’m in CO and we knew Biden and Hick would win. I’m going to bed. Last night two guys kept trying to get into their car right in front of my apartment building. They had locked her keys inside of it. And twice last night they set off the car alarm. I am exhausted.

When I heard on MSNBC that if we weren’t going to get the presidential race declared tonight I knew it was time to go to bed.

No Republicans got rid of Doug Jones in Alabama. That is a pick up for them.

And Biden FINALLY took a huge lead in VA! They FINALLY got some of their big counties counted. CNN reporting.

Biden now up: 53%

Trump: 46%

With 75% reporting. That's huge. It was expected, but Virginia reporting red counties and day-of voting first really freaked everyone out.

Who called it, r149?

CNN now calling VA for Biden straight-up!

CNN still "Biden" its time with AZ, even though Fox called it long ago.

FOX calling OH and TX for Trump.

Boo.

Fox is an outlier on AZ. That’s very nervous making.

NBC/MSNBC calling Ohio for Trump.

Not a surprise, but still a big disappointment.

MSNBC calling VA for Biden. YAY!

James Carville on MSNBC to Democrats: "Put the razor blades and the Ambien back in the medicine cabinet. We're gonna be fine!"

He says he's going to crack open his champagne on about Friday.

CNN showing Trump took the lead in IA.

NYT just moved their GA needle to Biden!!!

IA leads have gone to Trump and Ernst:

Biden set to speak on MSNBC.

Biden will say we won't even know all the votes for a few days so relax folks and go get some rest.

I betcha that, or some variation of that will be what he says.

Dammit r162, I really hate that cunt Ernst.

This feels like 2000 and Bush/Gore. Very close.

Steve Bullock has the lead in the MT Senate race. Yay!

How is Cunningham doing in North Carolina? If Steve Bullock wins, and Cunningham does too, we get back the Senate.

Tillie has a tiny lead in NC,

Georgia results have Warnock ahead in the special Senate race, but Perdue (R) ahead of Ossoff.

Either way, that would mean Democrats take over the Senate with CO, AZ, GA and MT.

Plus, probably we'll get ME, because not much of the vote is even counted there.

Biden emphatically saying, "We're gonna win Pennsylvania!"

"Keep the faith, we're gonna win this!" Biden says.

MSNBC saying Trump is about to speak, declaring victory and challenging the results in PA.

Martha McSally not conceding in AZ. Bitch!

Fox calling Iowa for Trump and Ernst.

BOO!

N.Y.T. calls for Ernst, too, by 6%.

BOO!

CNN has Biden leading MI now. Yay!

It looks like Trump and Tillis are going to take NC, but Trump's lead is less than 1%.

Jesus!

MSNBC is sayiing 2 days before they count the biggest county that also skews Democratic.

They sent almost all the workers home..

This is so fucked up. Every state should have prepared a massive staff and machine operation to count votes tonight!

It's like they didn't know there was going to be a huge mail-in count. Even if you have a law against processing ballots before Election Day like PA, they should have been burning the midnight oil Tuesday morning with extra machines for mail-ins!

MSNBC called MT for Trump.

Daines (R) is also ahead by 1 percent in MT, but only by 1% with 40% left uncounted.

MUCH tinier than the 8% Trump won MT by.

MSNBC just plotted out a way for Biden to win without PA, NC and GA: by taking the 1 independently assigned Nebraska electoral vote.

And Joe Biden HAS picked up that 2nd Congressional District vote in NE!

CNN calling it now; hasn't happened since 2008.

This counts as an electoral pickup/flip!!!

MSNBC reporting Biden has taken over the popular vote.

CNN reporting Biden ahead in NV. Yay!

Biden has a 6% lead in AZ and CNN is still pussy-footing around calling it for Biden. Pathetic!

Putin's Putain about to speak from the White House.

Jake Tapper predicts Trump will claim victory and cry foul in PA.

CNN saying The Godtoddler is crying foul about Fox calling AZ for Biden.

CNN saying The Man in the HighChair also freaking out about the NE electoral vote flipping.

ALL GOOD NEWS.

NYT calls MT Senate for Steve Daines, the Republican.

BOO.

Democrats may not get the senate now.

If Democrats don't get Susan Collins out of Maine and one of those GA Senate seats, then Moscow Mitch McConnell stays in power and the economy and Pandemic destroy America.

Shithead will be speaking momentarily. His spawn just entered the pressroom.

Chief Sitting Bullshit claiming "a sad group of people is trying to disenfranchise and we will not stand for it!"

HE'S LYING ABOUT GEORGIA -- the biggest counties haven't reported and they skew Democratic.

FUCKING PSYCHO I hate him.

Trump calling the election a fraud and "Frankly, we DID win this election."

We all knew Trump was going to do this, it shouldn't be a surprise.

He's just proving to all of us that he is every bit the MAGGOT that we all already thought he was.

If his newly packed Supreme Court honors Trump's wish to shut down the vote counts, I'm going to Washington and organizing sit-in protests. This is fucking outrageous.

Trump would have to go to district courts first.

I'm really upset that PA, WI and MI didn't put a massive, same-day, mail-in processing staff and operation to shut the fucking Fanta Menace up faster and protect this country's nerves.

r198, they'll just pepper spray you out and put you in a detention camp.

Count every vote.

Boris is already declaring victory on DL because his deluded Fuhrer told him to.

*snort*

What’s going on in shithole North Carolina?

CNN saying batch reports for WI coming in at 4 a.m. E.T. and the other Rust Belt states at 7 a.m. E.T.

All of these uncounted votes in PA, WI and MI favor Biden.

But Boris is declaring victory like his Insane Clown POTUS.

Biden just took the lead in WI after 5 a.m. data report!!!

And CNN reporting the big uncounted votes outstanding are VOTE BY MAIL, which are supermajority Democratic.

They're going to increase Biden's lead!

Pennsylvania is ass-backwards when it comes to voting. They should have started counting the mail-in votes a week ago.

[quote]Pennsylvania is ass-backwards when it comes to voting. They should have started counting the mail-in votes a week ago.

Pennsylvania’s Republican Legislature prevented the votes from being counted early. Pennsylvania has a Democratic Governor and a Republican Legislature. It’s split right down the middle. That’s why it’s a true swing state.

Fuck yes! Biden has taken WI and MI — the outstanding ballots there favor him, too. So he's essentially won the presidency.

The problem is, control of the Senate is going to depend on those two Georgia runoffs, so give Ossoff and Warnock some cash!

Things don't look good for the Repukes this far along.

This sad little thread couldn’t even hit 600

Sad?

Biden won, we're walking on sunshine!

Sad is starting a TV viewing thread 2 days early because you have to be the center of attention and you have no job or life, waiting 2 days for a TV show to start.

Lol!! R214 NAILS it!!

God, this thread sucked.
