If you insist on going down that road, I'm pretty sure some of us have achieved more in our lives than you could ever dream of.

 

Also not meaning to be rude, of course.

I agree that I wouldn't dream of being one of the only people ever to manage to run a casino at a loss.

Honestly. Like how thick to you have to be to have a casino chain that goes bankrupt. They’re literally giant cash machines

Because he was BORN RICH!!!

Years ago a lot of people on DS didn't believe I was even a real poster. Thought maybe it was the mods having a laugh at them all. :D

You may also know him as the Great Orange Turd x

 

It's a troll post.

 

Says someone who posts the above. :rolleyes:

President Donald Trump made a last-minute push on Monday night for Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin, a strong ally who is facing a tough re-election bid in a deep-red state that should be a shoo-in for Republicans.

 

"Here's the story," Trump told thousand of supporters ahead of Tuesday's election. "If you win, they are going to make it like, ho hum. And if you lose, they are going to say Trump suffered the greatest defeat in the history of the world. You can't let that happen to me!"

 

Democrat Andy Beshear just unseated Kentucky’s Trump-loving governor Matt Bevin

 

no one suffers the greatest defeat in the history of the world like Trump

 

In reality, that's a rather small 5,000 vote margin. 709k-704k, and the Republican isn't conceding... yet. Seems the biggest story out of the off-year elections, red state losing gubernatorial control.

JOE BIDEN LEADS AHEAD OF BERNIE SANDERS AND ELIZABETH WARREN IN LATEST POLL

BY BENJAMIN FEARNOW ON 11/2/19 AT 3:13 PM EDT

 

 

 

Former Vice President Joe Biden leads ahead with twice the support from those likely to vote in a Democratic primary compared to Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren, with Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders pulling in second, the latest October poll shows.

 

Bucking the trend seen in a wide swath of national polls, the Harvard CAPS/Harris national poll recorded between October 29-31 shows Biden far ahead of Sanders and Warren in the 2020 Democratic primary. The poll, which questioned a national sample of U.S. adult voters about who they are "most likely to vote for in a Democratic primary," found Biden with 33 percent of support compared to Sanders with 18 percent and Warren at 15 percent. Biden, Sanders and Warren have all traded off the top spot in nationwide and state-by-state polls of likely Democratic primary voters in recent weeks.

 

 

Among Democrats and Independents combined, Biden still holds a 10 percentage point lead over Sanders, with 25 to the Vermont senator's fifteen. Warren again comes in third with 12 percent of support among the two voter bases.

 

The trio of front-runner Democratic candidates remains far ahead of all other candidates, with California Senator Kamala Harris trailing in fourth place at just 5 percent. South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg holds 4 percent of support and New Jersey Senator Cory Booker tied Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar with 3 percent apiece.

Also a poll for the Presidency. NYT/Siena poll of six key battlegrounds needed really to win the EC. Philadelphia, Arizona, Michigan, Wisconsin, Florida, North Carolina.

 

Among registered voters, Biden narrowly leads Trump in four of them, Sanders in three, Warren in one.

 

 

Biden leads Trump in Arizona by 5%. Warren leads Trump by 4% in Florida and 6% in Michigan.

From CNBC.

 

President Donald Trump will win reelection easily in 2020 if the economy holds up, modeling by Moody’s Analytics shows.

“If voters were to vote primarily on the basis of their pocketbooks, the president would steamroll the competition,” the report states.

Three models show Trump getting at least 289 electoral votes and as many as 351, assuming average turnout.

The Moody’s models have been backtested to 1980 and were correct each time — except in 2016, when it indicated Clinton would get a narrow victory.

 

President Donald Trump looks likely to cruise to reelection next year under three different economic models Moody’s Analytics employed to gauge the 2020 race.

 

Barring anything unusual happening, the president’s Electoral College victory could easily surpass his 2016 win over Democrat Hillary Clinton, which came by a 304-227 count.

 

Moody’s based its projections on how consumers feel about their own financial situation, the gains the stock market has achieved during Trump’s tenure and the prospects for unemployment, which has fallen to a 50-year low. Should those variables hold up, the president looks set to get another four-year term.

 

If the economy a year from now is the same as it is today, or roughly so, then the power of incumbency is strong and Trump’s election odds are very good no matter who is his opponent, particularly if Democrats aren’t enthusiastic and don’t get out to vote,” said Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody’s Analytics and co-author of the paper along with Dan White, the firm’s director of government consulting and fiscal policy research, and Bernard Yaros, an assistant director and economist. “It’s about turnout.”

 

Three models show Trump getting at least 289 electoral votes, assuming average turnout. His chances decrease with maximum turnout on the Democratic side and increase with minimum turnout expected.

 

Of the three models, he does best under the “pocketbook” measure of how people feel about their finances. In that scenario, assuming average non incumbent turnout, he gets 351 electoral votes to the generic Democrat’s 187. “Record turnout is vital to a Democratic victory,” the report said."The lower the turnout, the better Trump's chances are. It's as simple as that"

Would a system of voters choosing a parties candidates work here? At present it's often just a few out-of-touch local party members who make the choice. :(

I think so but would maybe take too long. Takes months in the US.

New national poll has a statistical dead heat!! Bloomberg said to be entering for the establishment. That will backfire on them and Biden. He kept threatening it every time that Hillary looked weak too.

Cameron tried it. He said it would bring a different sort of politician into the House, someone with a more independent outlook. He dropped the idea when that happened and Sarah Wollaston was selected as the candidate in Totnes.

It's interesting to see Bloomberg enter the race just as other billionaires have — quite literally — cried at the prospect of Elizabeth Warren as president.

These billionaires crying over LOEER RATES THAN UNDER FDR are just peak late stage capitalism :lol:

 

Bloomberg said to be entering. This is because the establishment are getting cold feet about Biden's campaign. That will torpedo Biden!!
