So it's my prediction that Trump will not appoint anyone, or he might appoint someone and convince McConnell to make sure it doesn't happen and then blame it on the Democrats.

So in a coin toss, you choose both heads and tails with some nonsensical explanation that’s supposed to make you look smart or something?

If you’re going to make a political prediction, make it. $hit or get off the pot.

And if after watching the Kavanaugh hearings, the Banana Republic impeachment fiasco and the ‘look the other way’ response to street violence and think the Democrat’s default character is nice.......then you must be the guy typing “200 million are dead” on Uncle Joe’s teleprompter.

@wm, the only prediction worth any salt is that if Biden gets the Senate he'll add two seats on Scotus and add make DC and PR states, in fact I said he'd pack the court ages ago. He really has to, to save the Republic. However it's pretty obvious that McConnell is at this stage more concerned with his legacy so if Trump tries to keep the nominee as a carrot, this is too important for McConnell. It could backfire badly.

@JoG, Ginsberg couldn't retire, McConnell would simply stonewall anyone Obama selected. He point blank refused to even consider anyone for Scalia's seat, so how was Ginsberg retiring going to make any difference to that situation.

And what was your bet on the election, It's pretty obvious that Biden will win, and I predicted that ages ago, not that Biden would win because he wasn't selected then, but rather that there's no way that Americans will select Trump now that they've seen him. I said he'd lose by a larger majority, probably 5 million. I wasn't sure about the electoral college then but I am now.

However this is not the bet that is worth having, which is given that Biden will win the question is, will the Democrats be able to flip the Senate. That I do not know. I wouldn't bet on it but I think it's possible because this is not going to be a close election like everyone thinks, it's going to be a landslide to Biden.

You focus on "packing the courts" but why do they need to be packed, that's right because McConnell used his power to thwart the President so he could keep working on getting Judges who would uphold their undemocratic Gerrymanders and voter suppression.

McConnell left 100 Federal Court judges for Trump too, by obstructing Obama at every turn. Removing the final filibuster, making DC and PR States, and packing the Court with two Judges is only what is the right thing to do. The 'packing of the court' would only balance the two Judges that McConnell stole (assuming he gets to replace Ginsburg before the election)

What comes around goes around. The reason I do think that Biden can flip the Senate is that America as an idea, 'the great experiment' is simply too important for the future of humanity. And I have a deep faith that however fcuked up the world is and America is, ultimately there are good people there and that what is right will ultimately prevail. Biden winning and not flipping the Senate will be close to useless. But then maybe it's meant to happen that way and next election will see Kamala Harris and a flipped Senate. A lot can happen in four years, she has time to grow into the role.

Good, cause I’d feel bad taking your money. We bet on Trump winning. As I recall, you stepped cause TT was getting his a$$ handed to him. You were being a nice guy. At the time, I figured Harris would be Trump’s competition which as it turned out, she kinda is.

And what was your bet on the election, It's pretty obvious that Biden will win

Let’s bet. Loser will ask the moderator to delete them from the forum.

There is a risk. Democrats will protest like hell when they lose. Already saw a state judge rule ballots can be counted three days after Election Day.

I’d love to be a scummy leftist lawyer in DC cause they’re gonnna clean up filing suit after suit,

But eventually, even the leftist on the Supreme Court will have to follow The Constitution.

@WM, Why would I make a bet about anything of any kind with a non entity like yourself, especially something like staying on this forum which I couldn't give a toss about who is or is not on it, the entire forum is a polluted cesspit of shite, I just turn up occasionally now for a larf and wonder why I ever took it seriously, and in fact I still wonder why Eegore, submits himself to your continuous insults like some sort of pu55y whipped husband.

That you think Trump can win just goes to show that you do not understand the electoral college at all. Trump has to hold all three rust belt States that he flipped and he's way behind in all three. and Biden could lose them all and still win the electoral college with Florida. And he can win without Florida which would just be a bonus. Trump is toast. The focus is on the Senate that's what this election is all about.

It's quite likely that Biden will get a result on election night, then it will be amusing to see how Trump reacts to that because if the result when his way before the mail in ballots got counted he'd be wanting to invalidate them all.

This entire election year has been so frikken weird what with covid, and impeachment and muller and barr and ginsburg that I predict there will be another dramatic twist in the tale before election night. Something big will happen. Maybe Biden will have an heart attack just before the vote and Harris ends up getting elected by a shocked nation. Anything can happen in these topsy turvy times.

But I ultimately do have faith in your flawed democratic republic.

OK WM, if the best is that if Trump becomes President I cease to post here and if Trump loses you cease to post, then sure I'll take that. But you mentioned something about a name, which sounds to me like you'll just resign up with another name. That's the sort of slippery thing I'd expect.

So you state the terms of the bet in unequivocal languageand if the terms are suitable I'll take the bet, because I'm certain enough that Trump will lose the Presidency. Your call.

Trump was behind the first time in those states.

The first time is irrelevant, because he was an unknown quantity, who talked the big talk, (remember he's a con man) now people are voting on the person they've seen for four years. Trump is toast. And if Biden win Florida he won't need any of the rust belt. But he doesn't need Florida either.

When Trump points to the riots and all his fear mongering and says 'this is what Biden will give you, people aren't stupid, they know he's the President not Biden, all the chaos is on Trump's watch.

But Trump losing won't be the end of Trump, he'll snipe from the sidelines. I'm not just predicting a Biden win, I'm predicting a landslide. This is going to be the biggest voter turnout in any election ever.

2 min55 secs in listen to Trumps slurring  where he cannot even pronounce his own name.

@ 9 mins and 52 secs, there is a montage clip of what the GOP said they would do if the situation that has now arisen, actually occurred.
