Re: Election Predictions
How are you rating this year as bad?
Why is it bad?
Who is to blame?
In my unbiased view. This year was good economically. We are in the worst pandemic ever. And unemployment is 8%. People are spending money like crazy. Home sales are through the rough. A friend that sells for one of the largest home builders said that sales reps were told to stop selling. They can’t keep up with demand
Lumber sales are through the roof. Stock is low because everyone is buying it up
Boat sales are through the roof. You can’t find boats, because inventory is gone. My 4 yr old boat is worth more today, with four years on it, then I paid for it in 2016
Gas prices are low
Food prices are stable
Stock market is at record highs
iPhone just released a new phone and Verizon said it signed more new users that anticipated
Basically, if California and New York lifted the lockdown and travel bans, the economy would be setting records.
Compare this to 2008/2009. Unemployment was double digits. The stock market dropped in half. Home prices dropped by 50%

Re: Election Predictions
2020 has been an abject failure in the worst way. I cannot get paper towels delivered. Nor lysol or Clorox. We are the richest country in the world and I can't buy household items. A friend is a physician in an ER in Michigan in a badly hit hospital with lots of Covid patients. He does not have enough PPE in the hospital so has to wear surgical masks instead of proper safety gear. Why is this? Why was the defense production act not put into place in early March and why in October is an ER doctor out of N95s? There is no excuse for this. None at all.

Re: Election Predictions
This article was published March 18. Are you saying Trump was a week too late?
You can purchase N95 masks here on Amazon.
Perhaps your friend's hospital is run by morons.

Re: Election Predictions
Silver is basically calling the election already for Biden... unless "the election is stolen somehow" Pretty remarkable thing to say.

Re: Election Predictions
It is an amazing thing to say. Really full of hubris.

Re: Election Predictions
Who knows....
I feel like this one is going to be to close to call. I could see rejected ballots deciding the results in several states.
This need for a final total on Nov 3rd is real bullshit. We never have a final total on Nov 3rd. What we have is the medias projected winners. This year thats going to be almost impossible due to the numbers of mail in votes. Some 45 million with a week to go.
I will say this, I could see Trump driving more people to engage than we have seen in a hundred years.
