I'm listening to his speech (if you can call it that) right now on youtube.

I don't really see the difference between any other speech he holds in the press room or in front of a helicopter. He blabbers on and on until nothing makes sense. These rambling speeches he does should be printed out and used in English classes to explain what happens if you don't pay attention in class and snort too much glue.

Final staggering numbers from the city of Detroit.

Biden 93.51%
Trump 5.06%

Is this the start of "Establishment" right wingers pulling away from trump?

There's a rats and sinking ships analogy I can't quite recall....

Not Lindsey Graham! He was on Fox last night calling for an illegal coup of the PA electors (the people who actually certify the election for the Electoral College).

Or Kevin McCarthy or Ted Cruz.

Trump might be out the door, but Trumpism sure as hell isn’t.

[Terez]

Yeah, even though Trump is going to lose, they're still taking this election as a validation of Trumpism. They have to. More Democrats came out than Republicans, but if they want to win with Republicans, this is what they have to do. Turnout was up almost everywhere, and Trump still won about 47% of the vote nationwide. What can they do? This is their party.

I don't understand him. Unless someone REALLY does have something BAD about him he's afraid of being revealed...the turn of his cloak was so abrupt and so extreme that I can't understand it.

It kind of feels as if, right? I believe Fox covered Trump's speech in full, but had to comment afterwards that it was not truthful.

I may have some slight and not really sure feeling that Fox News has turned on Trump because they finally see a way out of the corner he has painted them into. Not that they did not let him.

[Malankazooie]

Naw, they showed his speech. Not really a speech, more a whiny bitch and moan fest about how the election is being stolen. ALL the networks will air Trump and never entertain the notion of pulling him. He's too much of a ratings bonanza. It's one of the problems and why we are in this shit show. Vice did a pretty solid expose of the media and Trump and how he's manipulated them. Search it out.

Anderson Cooper had the best quote in summarizing Trump's crybaby tantrum of a speech:

[Terez]

Decision Desk HQ just called it. PA and the whole race.

[Obdigore]

Yup those Philly votes put him over in PA and that should continue.

[Slow Ben]

Philly!

You see all the locals dancing and partying outside the counting building in Philly all day yesterday? Real different scene than the angry people showing up with Guns and demanding that public officials don't do their job so their fee-fees don't get hurt.

Emotionally stunted is the nicest thing I can say about the majority of these people.

oh Gritty, the best worst mascot that exists.

I remember when they brought him out, people hated him and his design, and now they mostly love him because he's so philly.

[TheRetiredBridgeburner]

Thanks Terez - it's been much easier to follow with all your input!

[Terez]

Waiting for the networks to call this before I settle down. None of them have called PA or the race yet. Still hoping Fox will be first when NV reports.

[QuickTidal]

The Trump tantrum is going to be...so insane. I fear for the next two months though...Trump will not go quietly. Stay Safe American members.

EDIT: Don Jr. is MELTING down on Twitter. LOL

Good news to wake up to, seeing Atlanta and Philly flip like that.

Now all those people voting blue need to remember to do this in every election on all levels; otherwise the pendulum's gonna swing the other way again.

Looking at the Congressional elections map especially makes it very clear what a gap there is between urban and rural America. And just how much of rural is out there. It's something that's easy for people looking from the side to forget. And I don't really know how y'all can go about reconciling that. If the majority of people lives in the big cities, they need to make themselves count.

[Cause]

The polls seem to have been wrong again though right? The senate hasn’t flipped. Dems didn’t pick up 20 house seats and the presidential race has been decided by small margins rather than anything approaching a landslide. So what happened?
