Alright what ya'll got? Here's my final prediction & you can give me hell come Wednesday.

1. The polls will be proven either right or wrong
2. The person who gets the most votes across swing states will win

Now, for real... I could see it going either a Trump win by a hair or a Harris blowout.

My prediction:

Harris wins NC, PA & MI and claims victory.
Trump wins GA, NV and AZ
WI I feel could go either way.

Main drivers:

Turnout for abortion & anti-Trump republicans. NC governor race will amplify this in that state. NC has also seen a lot of population growth post-covid from ppl moving out of high cost cities.
 
Harris wins the blue wall states and the White House. Autocracy loses. Trump claims fraud. Of course.
GOP wins the Senate.
House is a coin flip. I'll take the Dem's because I'm an optimist.
 
Harris by a bigger margin than expected. I suspect the true polling numbers have been impacted by Trumps 'flood the zone' strategy and that Harris leads by more than is being shown.

Harris wins by a much bigger margin than the professional talking heads predicted. Remember now, the recession is right around the corner, we heard it just about every day for months.
 
I had a feeling of dread all last month, but after the MSG rally I've been feeling more optimistic. I still think the most likely outcome is she very narrowly loses (NV and one of the Blue Wall states), but I also think NC is a state to watch. Dems will win the House. I think GOP may have a 1 vote majority in the Senate, although TX, NE, or FL may end up really close.
 
My predictions:
Trump will claim victory, regardless of vote counts.
Harris will win.
Trump will foment violence.
Trump will have an army of lawyers filling suits everywhere.
Trump will whine about it being a rigged election, with zero evidence.
Trump will face his criminal trials, eventually.
Harris will be an excellent President.
 
I already voted. I hope that the country doesn't make a really bad decision. I don't have a prediction.
 
Rustbelt:
MI - Harris
WI - Don't know
PA - Harris

Sunbelt:
AZ - Trump
GA - Trump
NC - Don't know
NV - Trump
 
I'm also going to go with Harris winning Wisconsin. I'm now thinking she will win the 3 rustbelt states. I believe that Trump will win NV, AZ and GA while Harris will win WI, MI and PA. I don't know who will win NC.

I can’t even begin to say. I have friends and family who are optimistic, and trying to get me on board with their optimism, but I just can’t.

I just … don’t … know …

It could go either way. I’m super gun shy after all the polls right up to the end in 2016 saying HRC was running away with it.

"They're eating the dogs"


By rights, Trump should get his doors blown off.

In a normal world it is what I would predict. Since the dog-eating rant his image has been eroding profusely.

What was retail last spring is in the discount bin today.

He's a showman, an ego without restraint. He appeared anti-establishment and ballsy before, but is revealed to be crude, simple minded and criminally.

As it stands he's facing financial ruin and possible prison time, unlesshe wins the White House. In any other election I would call it a wipe out, that he'll drive the party bus right over the cliff and into the sea and then demand payment for his efforts.

But.....

Harris is not a strong candidate and while she has done an incredible job, awesomely remarkable, the momentum simply isn't there for a wipe out victory.


So, either it will be a wipe out, with Harris taking the White House and the Democrats control of the House.....or....

The next two months plus are going to be "interesting" and fraught with legal battles, accusations of cheating, intimidation by threats and some revisiting of January 6th....just for fun.
 
I suspect either a sweep/near sweep for one side or a nail biter down to 15 or fewer electoral votes.
 
Two weeks out, I opined that Harris’ campaign had momentum. I was mocked by some posters and the race has see-sawed a few times since then. If the numbers in Iowa are legit and Harris is appearing on SNL, I stand by my earlier opinion.

I listen to my gut, and my gut is saying "**** if I know."

I mean, just giving a mic stand a hand job and giving it an air BJ should be enough
 
Iowa?

That’s bold.
