    Nope. I have only Hopium. I suspect trump has shed a lot of his voters who are disgusted with his behavior and chaotic administration but i also think there are voters who absolutely will not vote for a woman, or black, or a black woman. Maybe that’s a wash. I was absolutely gobsmacked when trump won in 2016 - felt like a stranger in my own country.
    Will be happy to predict on election Wednesday.

    Do you still have your $18,000 bet on trump or were you able to back out of it now that trump has a different opponent?

    Don't know if it was the case for that section of the wall but I do recall that some of the contracts for construction of the wall were awarded noncompetitively to friends of the Donald who contributed to his campaign regardless of their experience or competence.

    This.

    Toss a coin, read a fortune cookie, play the lottery numbers on the back, read your horoscope...

    Seems tight, but could go landslide either way, and could just as easily go Bush-Gore...

    I feel reasonably confident that Kamala will win the popular vote; however, I think the election could go either way given Trump's Electoral College advantages. If I were forced to bet right now, I'd go with Kamala due to her momentum and because I think a lot of people have simply gotten tired of Trump's shtick.

    That's part of the fun of making the call now. I think I know what will happen, but none of us truly know what's going to happen.

    None of the people who voted in this poll are dead or riddled with bullets in bad shape after all

    Sure thing. I just hope you acknowledge you’re historically quite bad at this.

    Kamala leads 16 to 6. Wow.. I am a little surprised by the predictions, but that's why I created the thread.

    Also the debates may help her or really hurt her.

    Trump will be Trump.

    As the only one here who has won 6 Nobel Prizes, 9 Fields medals, all of the medals of honor and actually contributed to writing 150% of the Bible I'm putting one down for Kamala who is obviously the better looking candidate...now which one of you left the stain on my couch.

    I’m amazed at the lack of Trump victory predictions, considering the analytics say he’s the winner if the election was held today.
