Maryland actually has 8 critters. Pardon me.

The House votes by delegations, not individuals. Republicans control 26 of those.

I have an idea! Let’s think of as many outlandish things that can go wrong as possible and wring our hands in terror about them!

Heh. Knew I liked you for some reason. :-)

Or Biden/Pence I suppose.

The Democrats would go full Weekend at Bernie's then. Even worse than now.

Plus, if it doesn’t get that far, but we have states resisting by refusing to certify the vote by the Dec 14 (I think) deadline, those resistor states lose 1/2 their electoral votes and the bar drops from 270.

>>This election won’t be that close. Trump will win bigly or lose bigly.<<

Trump won 306 electoral votes. Base off of everything I've seen...Trump's not losing his 2016 base.

The walk-away movement (from democrats), black/Hispanic voters moving toward the conservative side, enormous enthusiasm all across this land.

It's going to be a blowout. Trump will win 306 EC votes +15 or more.

Trump AND Pence will win if it is a tie, IMO.

**not likely; but, we shall see...**

Trump won 306 EC votes in 2016...his base has not diminished, it has gotten stronger.

‘Trump AND Pence will win if it is a tie, IMO.’

here’s how it could happen; take the RCP electoral college map, which the ultra cautious site sets at Biden with 222 ev’s and Trump with 125, with 191 tossups...to Biden’s 222 add 10 from WI, 16 from MI, 6 from NV, 4 from NH, and 11 from AZ...this puts Biden at 269, and leaves 144 tossups, which obviously Trump needs to sweep to arrive at the 269...this, though very unlikely, is plausible, looking at the map, because if Biden does not win PA, he would need to poach NC, GA, FL, IA, or OH, a tough ask...

Outgoing house...not incoming house. Analysis you made might be great but it doesn’t apply.

No, the new Congress elected November 3rd, 2020 and seated on January 6th, 2021 would determine any outcome.

Huh? Where do you get that from? Trump enthusiasm is higher across this country than in 2016. Woman, Asians, blacks, LGBTQ, Jews, whites.

Have you even watched the dozens of political events across America for the last few weeks? Those are the real polls.

Election night is going to be sweet.

Almost all polls including those by Rasmussen show Trump doing worse among whites than he did against Hillary.

Dems in the house could wreak mini havoc by refusing to form quorums for the purpose of the state delegation’s vote.

They could be at it for a while. Meanwhile, the Senate could give us Pence.

No disrespect. Not arguing or being snarky, but don't listen to all this nonsense. The polls were wrong in 2016 and they are being used YET AGAIN to deceive and manipulate.

The polls were wrong in 2016, they were wrong when RINO Romney ran against Obozo.
