PoliGAF 2016 |OT15| Orange is the New Black

Talking with some of my friends in Ohio, they either say Trump has no field office or it's basically a store where you can buy t-shirts, hats, and yard signs (staffed by a single person). Dems have huge main offices and various "offices" in people's homes where people are phonebanking and canvassing.

Granted I have no Trump supporting friends to let me know what their ground operation looks like there, but on the outside it doesn't look good.

I live on the border of West Park and Lakewood, and there are two campaign offices near my house. Dems are on top of things in Cuyahoga County, and it looks like Franklin County is in good shape as well.

Hey PoliGAF, what are your guesses for when the election will be called? Some of you mentioned Florida could mean the results are known early. I have a 3yo I put to bed between 8-8:30pm central. I want to be in the chat, I'm assuming there will be a chat, when it happens. I guess I should check that too. Will there be a chat?
Election will probably be called when the polls close on the west coast.

There is a chat, but I'm too lazy to link you right now lol

according to my decision desk, Hillary will win by 7 percent.

I'm thinking 6-7%ish. The average from this morning seems to be around 4%, so I'm mentally skewing adjusting a bit for polling/machinery factors mentioned earlier.

At 6%, we take the Senate and we have some nice gains in the House (and whoever the the GOP Speaker is will find himself in a deliciously tight spot as far as actual governing is concerned).

And this bit from Buzzfeed's @RosieGray has me laughing:
Trump again on the warpath against Jay-Z and Beyonce in Sarasota today

I couldn't finish the video. They don't understand anything.

They understand everything. jay z and Beyonce are black. And if you're a black person, Fox News has free license to attack and belittle u all day. There's nothing else at all that 75% if their voters care about

Trump is off prompter asking if Jay-Z and Beyoncé were talking or singing at their performance. We are a day before Election Day.

My anecdotes come from Hamilton and Butler counties. Still not super confident in the state, but GOTV efforts might make all the difference.
 
Out of ALL of the races tomorrow, the only one where I don't feel like you can actually make a case either way is NC Senate. Which is crazy.
 
If Hillary wins by 6% would that be enough to boost odds a lot for the Senate

It probably would, but we can't say for sure. The trend since 2002 is that the majority of close races break for one party and Clinton by 5 or more says that would be the Dems this time. But if you look back at '96 Bill Clinton won huge, with voters also voting Republican down ballot. Its possible that they would do the same here as a check on Hillary's power as President, since she's so unpopular.

We are in the other timeline.
 
I think he will do a speaking tour to get his money back from campaigning.

Even when he did The Apprentice, apparently during shooting he would spend an hour or two on set just riffing like he does at his rallies, and the cast and crew would give him an audience for his 'performances'. This is what he is really about, not so much politics or even money- it's this need to be perceived as the best.
 
Here it is PoliGAF. After my 3rd cup of coffee and a healthy poop, i've come to deliver your predictions for tomorrow. Bask in my poopourri-scented awesomeness

I bet $30 that Hill takes more than 300 EC votes. Can we still expect this to happen?

538 has her winning Florida and NC again, but by pretty narrow margins.

I'm not sure why more Republicans don't do that. Honestly, voting Hillary but going with republican congressmen would be the optimal move for a republican voter who hates trump. You get to stop Hillary from doing anything, and don't have trump in the white house as a permanent damage to the republican brand. And also whatever else crazy he'd do.

What do you use to bet on this? I'm curious to check out what the returns look like.

*looks up poll closure times on west coast* Okay, that's like 10pm my time, so I should be good.

Well, I hope and believe someone will provide a link tomorrow evening.

Considering the early voting, I would say it's very likely.

This is the map as of now (with maybe Utah as a toss up between Trump and McMuffin).

You should be good. Early voting in FL has been much stronger for Clinton than polling and that gets her over 300. NC and OH are still up in the air IMO.
